| $15,000 Speaker Does Not List Freq Response Specs 10-06-15: StringreenFrequency response stats on a speaker are useless...the number may be listed but only in an anechoic environment. Much of a speaker's sound is how it performs in YOUR room, with your components. If there is no way to listen to ... | |
| Gauder Akustic Berlina RC7 I've never been a fan of plastic drivers, but I still respect those speakers. | |
| Power cable "Break in" question Since I generally buy a lot of new gear at once, I just let all the gear burn in at the same time. At the moment, I am burning in my new Vitus SCD-025Mk2, Jorma Statement sc's & Gigawatt power conditioner. I also have the option of using my Is... | |
| High End Speaker Prices 10-02-15: Johnnyb53And that is essentially the difference between audiophiles and the rest of the listening world. Most people form different schemas for live and reproduced music. For reproduced music they make allowances for limited bandwidth, l... | |
| What CD and SACD player have a discreet audio I agree with Whatjd's comments above. I know my Vitus SCD-025MkII cdp uses discrete analogue stages derived from the SL-102 preamp. I've also replaced stock 4 x OPA627AP ic op amps in my previous Ayon CD-5s with Burson Single HD discrete op amps a... | |
| some of the best speaker cables under $250 02-13-15: AudiolabyrinthThankyou devilboy for the kind word's,btW, The person who told that comment to me is the same person who said, dead pan remark to you,and I agree, my ear's is all that matters, however, given your description of the sound o... | |
| some of the best speaker cables under $250 02-12-15: Devilboy@ Audiolabyrinth: Thank you. How someone can have the gall to tell you that you won't be able to tell differences in making tweaks in your system, a system he's never heard before, is beyond me. Also, setting a price point to det... | |
| Tidal speakers in 2015 Tidal are right up there with Gauder, Avalon & Marten in terms of implementation of Accutons. I have a lot of respect for Leif Olofsson (Owner/Designer of Marten) who did a cracker of a job on the Coltrane 3 which, like the latest generation o... | |
| Theres a firesale of the Modwrights oppo 105 units The 105 has been around for a while now, so I would not be surprised if Oppo released a new model this Christmas or early in the new year. I'd say you're just seeing those in the know moving their units on before a new model drops. As for the larg... | |
| Gauder Akustic Berlina RC7 I know Hans Vitus has big wraps on these speakers. The cabinet is apparently made from Panzerholz (tank wood) and is one of the best wood cabinets i've seen. When tamed, the Accuton drivers can sound wonderful. Avalon and Gauder appear to have got... | |
| With $20,000 in your hand, what speaker would you I own Magico S5's which are remarkably well balanced and coherent, fast and resolving & are great "all rounders". Engineering as expected is excellent. The Pass XA.8 and XS series amps are a great match & you can find S5's in premium gloss... | |
| CD Spkr Set-Up ? I use the Isotek Ultimate system setup disc to set up my speakers & it works a treat (as does their System enhancer cd. Cheers. | |
| Dan D'Agostino Momentum amplifier- which preamp? @David12, Dartzeel make lovely amps, though they're not the best match with Magico. Vitus and Soulution in ss, Tenor in hybrid amps & CJ Gat/Art and Absolare in tubes are best match imho ;) | |
| Gold or Rhodium To quote Yoda Zd..."Already know you that which you need". | |
| Rowland Aeris vs Aesthetix Romulus Signature I used to own an Aesthetix Romulus. It got close to my previous modded/re-tubed Ayon CD-5s which is saying something & sounded more natural to my ears. Music just flows through the Romulus like a mountain stream. It really gets out of the way ... |
