| Do audiophiles have a high divorce rate? Hubby and I have been married over 26 years, and we married after a whirlwind, 6-month courtship. We just knew we were "soulmates"...I knew on our first date that he was the one. Immediately following that date, I called my best friend and said, "... | |
| Who Do You Credit For Getting You Into This Hobby? For Artizen65: I hope my 25-year-old son will credit me for giving him his deep love for music. I started playing music for him before he even left the womb, and have been trying to be a good influence since he entered this life. He's still a relu... | |
| Who Do You Credit For Getting You Into This Hobby? Albert, my goal is to be at one of your weekly gatherings in the VERY near future! You have made so many changes to your system since Chuck and I last attended. Knowing your phenomenal tastes in equipment and cables (as well as excellent ears), I ... | |
| best speakers for Ayre amps ? I have an Ayre AX7e that is driving a new pair of Wilson Audio Sophia Series II loudspeakers very well. I will followup when I have spent more time with the combination. | |
| Phono preamp evolution It's not too evolutionary at this point but here it is...1. Marantz amp's internal phono preamp2. Mistral phono preamp (which I still own)3. Audio Research PH5 Phono PreampEach separate preamp transformed the system... | |
| What are we listening to tonight? it IS a masterpiece from the master himself. | |
| Which Proac would sound better Have you considered the Wilson Benesch Curves? In the 8k range...I have heard these speakers with Levinson pre/pro combination, Ayre Universal player, SME 20/2 turntable, Audio Research phono preamp. Very sweet system...and this was in an acoustic... | |
| Which Proac would sound better I have heard the D25s in several systems, and really enjoyed their performance, but none had the specific equipment that you own. The D25 has excellent bass extention, smooth midrange, and nails the highs. Very impressive, and it would certainly b... | |
| Has any body heard the Lyra SKALA? Jfrech,Just wanted to let you know that I sent you an email through the audiogon system. It could wind up in your "junk" file of your email server so wanted to let you be aware. Hope you are doing well!Kind Regards,Mary | |
| I need HELP with my LP12 based system I say horsehockey to all that told you to get rid of the Linn. I was in a similar situation as you not too long ago, was told to ditch the Linn, but instead I upgraded the Valhalla to a Lingo and the Adikt cartridge to a Lyra Argo. Yes, I let my e... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? DCC Compact Classics Limited Edition of Queen "At Night at The Opera". I paid a pretty penny for this LP but it is better than 95% in my LP collection (and the collection is excellent in quality and content). Mastered by the great Steve Hoffman on... | |
| Ayre C5xe or APL 3910 ? Just curious ... in all of these evaluations of the Ayre CX5e...was it run in balanced mode with any Ayre integrated/amp/preamp equipment (i.e., Ayre AX-7e or their separate amps/preamps? If so, I would have to think (based on personal experience)... | |
| Best monitor under 5k? If you are dead set on a monitor, you should seek out a used pair of Proac Tablette 50 Signatures. If you are lucky enough to find a pair for sale, you should be able to pick up a pair on audiogon for $1300 to $1500, depending on their finish. The... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Almost 5 years to this day, I posted on this thread and haven't looked again until tonight. At that time, I stated that "Sentimental Journey" was the song that was the most "achingly beautiful" to me at the time. Please look back at my post of 04/... | |
| Ayre C-5xe Break In Period? Talk to Charles Hansen or Steve at Ayre. My CX-7 (now upgraded to "evolution") and AX-7e needed at least 100 to 200 hours to sound their best, although the CX-7 bettered anything I had heard in its price range right out of the box. I'd also talk t... |
