| AXPONA 2017 Protocol @astewart8944 ,Did you get a chance to listen to the ProAC D30S? I was impressed, with the speakers being driven by Naim. They sounded very dynamic. They are more up-front, than my current system. And the bottom end on these were very deep. One so... | |
| Best full range loudspeaker for the used price of 10 to 13,000 dollars @cap,I was disappointed in the Dynaudio Contour 60 demos in the 3 room. Most of it was too loud. In one room, I requested for the volume to be turned down and they seemed to loose that magic when turned down. Also, when these were driven by a pair... | |
| What is the future for Proac Speakers ? Stewart,Good to know. I was at AXPONA and visited ProMusica room 3 times to hear the ProAc D30S. It is one of the speakers that made some nice music. Keep up the good work! | |
| Good DAC for playing computer files/streaming *and* SACD discs with transport? Oppo UDP-203 + Bryston BDA-3 will do for your requirement. | |
| What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers?? @falconquest , you don't have to purchase the Clear days. Just talk to Paul at Clear Day. He will let you know which configuration will work better in your system. Then he will send you the cables, without taking your credit card information. Audi... | |
| What amp do you use with your passive pre? @georgehifi ,Your point no. 1 is so right and that is all I have focused on, since getting a TVC. GAIN - that is the important point when it comes to LDR/TVC.OP, consider the Parasound A21 which needs 1.6V for full output, I believe. Most CD playe... | |
| What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers?? Exactly like @nutty. Same configuration for speaker cable and jumper wires. Changes were as follows:The sound stage is much wider.The bass is extended.Highs were extended without being harsh.Mid range is are much cleaner and life like. Higher g... | |
| AXPONA 2017 Protocol Thanks astewart8944. | |
| I'm considering replacing my passive preamp with a tubes. Is it worth it? @wrm57,The Music First is a TVC and is not really a passive.Can you please let me know what you "lost" in sound, when you introduced the Music First in your system, compared to the VAC Phi Beta? How would you compare the Music First Vs Bent Audio ... | |
| Focal Sopra 2 vs Sopra 3? @rsf507 ,Can you please elaborate "unlistenable". That is totally NOT what I found about Sopra when setup properly. I was in a properly treated room (Vicoustic) and the Sopras sounded pretty good with a nice bottom end. The front end was Simaudio ... | |
| AXPONA 2017 Protocol @kyomi_audio Thanks for the offer. It is going to be a challenge to stay after the show. We would be visiting family as well. So my family is traveling with me. So it might not be possible.Will your shop be closed during AXPONA?@astewart8944 , I w... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... I know I am right. @dynaquest4, this quote (from you) alone should tell the world how close-minded you guys are, and hence should be avoided like a plague.You are a stubborn old guy who thinks teens are always wrong. Really? | |
| Preamp for Halo A21 and/or B&K ST2140 Ok, then can you try to get similar quality XLR and RCA? I tested with similar quality XLR and RCAs, and for me there was quite a difference. Mind you, my preamp is unconventional, so that could have made a difference. | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... I don't understand the need for the seasoned folks on this forum to reply to azbrd and dynaquest4. Why do you give a rat's ass to what they think? I heard a huge difference when I moved from my $300 Signal Cable loudspeaker cables to $500 Clear Da... | |
| AXPONA 2017 Protocol @ astewart8944,I was at the show for 1 day in 2015 and it was just enough if you want to audition loudspeakers. This time I plan on attending Saturday and Sunday.I carried my USB key with music I am familiar with and the dealers did allow me to pl... |
