| Speakers for Resolution Audio Cantatas The only one I would rule out is the Audio Physics. The models I know don't have a big rich sound, they excel at detail, speed and resolution. | |
| MARTIN LOGAN TRIPLES THEIR PANEL REPLACEMENT I am surprised that a discussion about speaker panels turned into a presidential debate. Why does the OP think Martin Logan really cares about the secondary, or "resale" market? I buy used all the time and only want fully functional gear but I nev... | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? I will simply reframe the question. What is an EXPENSIVE stereo SUPPOSED to sound like.Again he didn't ask what a perfect stereo should sound like? And in my view either expensive or just really good it better make some sounds. Not nothing for sure. | |
| CARY -- WHERE ARE THE CHECKS AND BALANCES? The truth is only a couple of people who contributed to this thread had direct interaction with Cary that was injurious to them. Unfortunately the experience of a few is not always the experience of the majority, but get broadcast. Maybe I am naiv... | |
| CARY -- WHERE ARE THE CHECKS AND BALANCES? Sorry to see this thread devolve into acrimony, but I anticipated passionate posts about Cary. I own an AE-3 pre and like it a great deal I was hoping to buy a SLP-05 someday. I knew Dennis had retired, and I don't think there was anything more to... | |
| What's with all the Sony 5400ES units for sale? I think it is also a "product cycle" that we see with big sellers. There seemed to be some slightly shady business with this one however. The 540ES was occasionally on sale direct from Sony at a very low price and people were trying a short while ... | |
| Opinions on Magnepans sales/marketing approach to Where is AC? "As in over at AC...." I think we may be surprised when audio comes back some, and maybe even on Main Street. It seems people are indeed concerned about sound quality. I saw an ad featuring some "Beats" speakers on a tablet computer. ... | |
| Pass xa600.5, Marantz 9S2 or Mcintosh MC501/MC601? The point that the amp should really work synergistically with the speakers is a good one. Does the OP have any further comment, on what he tried, for future reference. | |
| B&W 804s too bright If you can upgrade your cables now, you can do so without too much worry. It really didn't matter that I got the right amps, after I got the right cables, and before I got the right pre. That is my experience. I am sorry to hear that you can't fin... | |
| Interesting Ads Most sellers I have dealt with here and everywhere else was "somebody". Never bought much from robots other than coin op machines etc. I didn't believe this story at all but read way too much of it the day it was on the "home page." Real somebodys... | |
| B&W 804s too bright The suggestion to try Cardas cables is a good one to tame some of the harshness, but is only a step in the right direction. You will need to get rid of the class D Emotiva amp. You have already said no to tubes, which I eventually went with, on a ... | |
| Stereo preamp upgrade Which tube does the Little Dot need? I may be able to give you some advice with my experience with the tube. I think you can buy the AE-3 for under $500, maybe not the latest or fanciest models. Many AE-3s had remote control, so that isn't always ... | |
| Mini Monitors under $500 used Are the amps in the Airmotiv products actually good Hi-Fi amps? (Hi-Fi is my new old term for audiophile level) It's hard to believe they could be good, and the speaker drivers being good at the same time for, that price. I may just be so caught u... | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? The one point that high end really just means expensive is important. I don't know what just any expensive audio gear should sound like? It is not really a great question. What should an expensive car be like, fast comfortable, made of carbon fibe... | |
| Looking for info. ANDANTE E phono cartridge Who are TV Show Dudes on earlytv? But I do agree with deducting no less than 75% to figure the real price. I have said it before the thing you have is worth what someone else will pay for it! To figure that out you have to put it up for sale at/on... |
