| T + A streamers. I need help. I also have a T+A DAC/streamer and agree the G2 app is limiting and disappointing relative to others I have used. My personal experience with Roon is a few years old but wasn’t particularly good. I haven’t tried it with my SD 3100 HV units but a... | |
| Monos Sim Moon M400 versus Pass 260.8 @roxy1927 Yes - in my view, the North 761 amp is significantly better than the M400s. it is quite close to the 861. If your room is large and/or you listen at medium to high volumes, I might suggest you skip the Atma Sphere monos as I can i... | |
| Monos Sim Moon M400 versus Pass 260.8 I haven’t heard the Pass amps you reference. I’m sure they are very good. I have heard the M400s and know them to be quite good. However, am I correct that what you really wanted was the Simaudio North 861? I auditioned the 861 and own the 761 ... | |
| Why the huge increase in the price of Sonus Farber Amanti G5 speakers. +1 @ghdprentice @1971gto455ho Sure. SF speakers are woefully overpriced and that’s why nobody has purchased them. Just another pretty box. They are pretty. Very much so. While I get that they might not be your cup of tea, the performance of the... | |
| Nordost Valhalla 2 Speaker Cable I will partially agree with @ricred1 in that Nordost cables are system dependent. I will also suggest they don’t particularly “play well” with other cables. But I think this is true of all cables. Cable deniers - this is a good spot to move along... | |
| Nordost Valhalla 2 Speaker Cable I think you’ll be pleased. Nordost Valhalla 2 cables, whether they be power cords, interconnects, or speaker cables are very good. Other premium cables may bring some desirable characteristics here or there. But on balance, the V2s offer an appeal... | |
| the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile I grew up listening to classical music my dad played on his system which started out as AR 3a speakers driven by a Fisher receiver with a garrard turntable.. Sometime in the mid 70s, he graduated to a Mac receiver, ADS 420s and subwoofer and a Dua... | |
| What's a good alternative to SF amati g5? The SF Amati Futura is actually a couple of generations old now. While it is beautiful, and the prices are appealing, it is closer to the old SF sound and not as articulate or accurate as the current or previous generation Amati Tradition or Seraf... | |
| Network Switches @rivinyl you pose a good question and one that tends to bring out those who are passionate about the subject - on both sides. I first tried the English Electric 8 (EE8) network switch paired with the network acoustics Eno filter. While I believ... | |
| SDV 3100 HV owners May I ask what your goals are for switching to a different amp? I have the SDV 3100 HV in system one paired with the new Moon North 761 and find it to be a very good pairing (and it fits in my cabinet). I have the SD 3100 HV (no preamp version)... | |
| What say you: Is this fair, or AITA? @yogiboy No. I sold the Vega through this site. | |
| What say you: Is this fair, or AITA? @devinplombier Good points. I, too, see both sides - hence, the question. As you and others have noted - I will not (should not) pay the invoiced fee on principle alone as it’s based on a selling price I did not receive. Your last point is par... | |
| What say you: Is this fair, or AITA? @asvjerry 😂 | |
| What say you: Is this fair, or AITA? @yogiboy While we made most of the agreement over the phone, the site administrators read my private message to meet the other party at Axpona. They then used my original listing to invoice me for the transaction fee. I was as surprised as you. ... | |
| What say you: Is this fair, or AITA? @viridian the shipping support to which I refer is merely the calculators provided on the site and the printable shipping label. Not much, but I recognize the value. Thanks all for the feedback so far. Hopefully more will chime in. |
