| Best Preamp with Tape In and Tape Out Monitoring Capability I recently researched this very subject. Tape loops are hard to come by these days, but here are few that have it: Higher Pass models - XP-22 and up, BAT preamps, Accuphase (pre and integrated), Luxman. | |
| Would you still pay $10k or more for a turntable not full analog front end these days ? Of course. LPs are often much better mastered. So LP, recorded at 24/96 often sounds way better than any stream OR even 24/96 from HD Tracks. This is not because analog is inherently better, but because mastering is better. I rarely actually liste... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? @hheedah - Yeah, I’ve seen plasma speakers back in 90’s. In fact, one of my relatives was a physicist and knew the company owner - don’t remember the name of the speaker though. Their entry level is already way over and buying used exotic with clo... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? @mbmi - out of cusiosity, why do you think GR is a crapbox. Engineering appears sound and so are measurements. I have engineering and math background in signal processing so I can read charts and waterfalls and such. Can't find any measurements fo... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? @deep_333 - all true :-). I am not going to spend that much. I hear Porsche 718 EV convertible is coming, so I'll save for that hahaha. I will try and see if I can Proac 48R or K3 to audition and maybe Dali Rubicon 8. But most probably I'll indee... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? @mbmi - I am sure Borresens is a nice speaker. However - I don't need speaker for "all kinds of music" - jack of all trades is always a compromise at a given price point. Only X2 is my price range and there are no dealers anywhere close to PNW. ... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? @audiokinesis - thanks much! The room is roughly 30x15x8. I don't have many room treatments, just what's left from my former HT setup - 6 12"x4' ASC tube traps and 4 6"x4' traps and maybe 5-6 1" 2'x2' absorption panels. Rug on the floor, thin carp... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? Well I am not sure what in GR caused people to get angry? Engineering appears sound, measurements are good, adjustable sub section is a good thing, speakers go down to 20 almost flat, Danny improves and upgrades speakers from big names and people ... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? @mbmi - is anything wrong with them? | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? @deep_333 - Thanks! I also found GR and I am seriously looking into ordering pair of bullies. They indeed look like the ticket. I spoke to Danny as well wrt my search. @goose - Yeah, I wanted to drive down since they had Revel Studio 2 for sale,... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? @ditusa - it says "performance of horns can be achieved", not that the speaker employs (or sounds like) horns. In that sense Revel (or few others) are "horns" because they use tweeter inside a waveguide... :-) After all, I own them and they don't... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? @mm1tt77 - Looking at Revel Salon 2, it sounds nice actually, but I have concern with 86 Db sensitivity while my amp is technically 30W Class A (although Accuphase does spec 60 and even 120 W to 2 Ohms, I guess class AB). F328Be appears to be 91 D... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? @ditusa Tannoy D700 are concentrics, not horns to any extent. | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? @helomech - It seems like there is love/hate with Legacy, some people really, really love them. I am not particularly keep on Legacy simply b/c of the size and weight. I am not into moving them and there is no one to help me if I decide to reposit... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? @ditusa - JBL seems to be a horn or waveguide like they use in concerts? |
