| Dealer Behavior Well, based on your experience, I must say that I got incredibly lucky how accommodating the dealers in the Chicago area were. One even gave me a free CD for visiting them (Holm Audio). They generally asked me with what I listened, why I wanted to... | |
| Is OPPO worth the inflated price? You can either go for Pioneer UDP-LX500 or wait for the UDP-LX800. Paying anything over $1500 for a $1299 player is not worth it. I have the Oppo UDP205 and am plenty happy with it. | |
| Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers Anyone new users with Gaia footer experience? I am thinking of upgrading the stock spikes on my loudspeakers with these. Any ProAc users with Gaia? | |
| Who makes great active preamps ? Tube or solid state or hybrid. @twoleftears +1.Backert Labs changed my perception of "active" preamp. Hard to believe that an active can be so transparent and dynamic at the same time. | |
| Best CDs @n80,Excellent suggestion!I use that site to search the CDs. | |
| Backert Labs Rhumba preamp @rdoc,Good to know. What are your source and loudspeakers?The Rhumba throws a huge soundstage in my system.The Rhumba acts as a measurement tool for me. If I am able to listen to CDs at 10 o'Clock position, it tells me the recording on the CD is n... | |
| Dynaudio Special 40 in the house @techno_dude,That is an impressive amp. I have heard these speakers with Moon preamp/amp and they sounded pretty impressive with a great midrange. These are some nice loudspeakers. Have fun! | |
| Backert Labs Rhumba preamp Thank You @1markr. | |
| Dynaudio Special 40 in the house @techno_dude, Congratulations on your new acquisition.What is your amplification and source? | |
| Proac D48R Got response from ProAc and Soundorg today and both confirmed that it is the M6 thread size. | |
| Am I deaf? @honashagen,On avsforum there is a person who claims that he prefers his Oppo UDP-205 over his Esoteric K-01. Everyone hears differently. That does not mean that person is deaf. Maybe a cable change or break-in is needed in your system. Maybe it d... | |
| When/why to upgrade? @gary_moresky,Do YOU feel the need to upgrade/change the Dunlavys? If not, then why think?In my case, I wanted full range sound. My previous loudspeakers were very fine, but not full range. The upgrade price was 10X the price of my previous loudsp... | |
| Proac D48R @twoleftears,Yes I believe it is one of the thread size in the Gaia box. | |
| Proac D48R @mets1p,Thank You very much for the information! Appreciate it sir. | |
| Proac D48R @mets1p,I had emailed them last year and did not hear back.But based on @itzhak1969's suggestion I have emailed them again. So lets see when they respond.Out of curiosity, what was the thread size on your DT-8? Maybe the D48R uses the same size. |
