| Dynaudio vs Harbeth vs ProAc @freediver,I have listened to the Special 40. They are one of the newer models in the Dynaudio lineup. They sound really good, IF front-ended by some very good ancillaries from Moon or Mark Levinson. I have heard them in such a system, wired with ... | |
| Need feedback on loudspeakers The ProAc D48R are in the house. I am pretty thrilled. They are pretty heavy. My wife helped me carry them to the listening room in the basement. She also helped me unpack and set them up. She supports my hobby and I simply cannot imagine followin... | |

| What's on your audio wish list for 2018? +1 @jmcgrogan2 | |
| Why do some amps provide more output power when using a balanced connection? +1 @marktomaras.Al amazes me every time I read and try to digest some information he provides. Amazing, isn't it? And the best part is, there is ZERO bias in his responses.Maybe we should have a "Almargopedia" section on audiogon :-) | |
| Help with upgrading Pre Amp @infection,It is hard to believe that the STP-SE Stage 2 beats Pass XP-20, especially considering the price difference and the Pass reputation. I am not denying your experience; just very curious and can't believe it, considering the Pass brand. W... | |
| Goldenear Reference Vs. Focal Sopra #2.....pocket the $5k difference and don't look back? I think it comes down to personal preference. I got a chance to listen to Goldenear (not sure about the model) at Audio Concepts in 2014, and it left me unimpressed. Surprised by @jnc's comment that they were "in your face" when he listened to the... | |
| Leather couch, leather love seat or single wooden chair +1 on @tomcarr suggestion on Fabric and 3-seater.Leather will bounce the sound waves.3-seater - on days you listen alone, you can be right in the sweet spot. But try to get a petite size fabric sofa than a full sized one. | |
| Triple M icOn Smart TVC Preamp Do you own it? What are your thoughts on it? | |

| Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz? @ jonasandezekiel,Why don't you try the Oppo 205? If you don't like it, you can return it and go with the Marantz. | |
| Hegel Mohican vs. Bryston BCD-3 @audiotroy While there are tons of people who have given up on CD and moved on using digital files, I feel there is still a significant number of folks like me or OP who like the CD ritual. It is the same as the LP users.A smartphone or tablet, is... | |
| wireless/bluetooth receiver I think an Auris bluMe will get the job done for you and for $169. I have it in my system and use it for streaming music from my laptop or tablet or smartphone. I really love this product and hence the recommendation. I had a Logitech bluetooth re... | |
