| What’s really hurting the audio hobby? In the Bay- Sacramento area there are several good dealers. One such dealer has Audio Note, Quicksilver, Jolida and many other brands, plus consignment and vintage/used gear. I will go there and often there is one to a half-dozen regulars listen... | |
| Coda 8 amp I highly recommend Coda and I too am looking at the NO 8 as a possible amp contender - waffling between Pass Labs and Coda, both of which have great reviews.My brother-in-law has had Plinius, Bedini, lots of vintage gear, tubes and prefers his Cod... | |
| Speaker advice for listening to Blues music I am listening to the album Monkey Medicine right now on my DeVore Nines and I think it sounds really nice. The Gibbon 3xL might fit the bill in your 12X12 room. You can find stellar reviews on the Gibbon 3XL by Devore. | |
| upgrade from Devore Nines @thosb I had read all the positive views on Devore and a pair come up fairly close at a stellar price. I decided there was not a lot of risk if I needed to move again. I have really liked the DeVore Nines. My friend who loves and owns Harbeths ... | |
| Aurender vs. Roon In case anyone is interested, I was able to integrate Sonos connects without issue after messing with for a couple of days. In short, connects should run wireless and not share the same router (wired) as the Rock. I am not sure why that is, but... | |
| Aurender vs. Roon I had an old NUC around I hadn't been using - about a year ago I bought a Macbook Pro and the need for a windows based system is no longer needed. Today I updated the BIOS, formatted the drive and made the NUC into a Room Rock. I have the Room R... | |
| Best bookshelf speakers I think you should throw as much money at the speaker you feasibly can to prevent the immediate upgrade bug. Selling speakers are a pain and I consider speakers furniture/art. Depending on your room it is one of the 1st items people see. My mai... | |
| Duelund internal speaker wire? I have had many recommendations I replace the internal wire in my vintage speakers with Duelund, but have not at this point. I have used Dueland as speaker wire and thought it was very good. So depending on the speaker, I think it could be a good... | |
| Best bookshelf speakers "Tiny companies" that buy drivers from OEM driver manufactures such as Seas and Scanspeak, which are held by larger companies, seam to do just fine in R&D. Not sure if you call Devore 'tiny' but they buy some of their drivers from Seas and the... | |
| Best bookshelf speakers I have green mountain audio monitors on Skyland stands (EOSHX), driven by a oppo 105 and LFD integrated amp. Anyone in the SF/Sacramento area can come by for listen.If they can be found I recommend the Callisto speakers. I have seen them used fo... | |
| Best bookshelf speakers @audiotroy Quad is affiliated with IAG as is Audiolab, Castle Acoustics, Luxman, Mission, Quad and Wharfedale. IAG creates and Quad uses as do all the other brands part of IAG. I am curious how these loudspeakers differ, or a they just the same ... | |
| Gallo Acoustics I had Gallo 3.1s and finally sold them. I didn't have the bass amp, so cannot comment on that feature. I did however experiment with the 15 Ohm resistors tweek found here http://www.10audio.com/gallo_ref3-1.htm.I didn't like the 3.1s because to ... | |
| Green Mountain Audio Chroma HX Review @kenjit it is quite common for companies request specific drivers be custom made. You think most speaker companies make their drivers in house? I believe Zu uses Eminence drivers as do several other companies, but I am guessing they are not avai... | |
| Does this image give you claustrophobia? Not sure why - reminds me of a original Star Trek bridge pic. | |
| Speaker recommendation @bigkidz How do Vandersteen speakers sound off axis? I am concerned they only sound great in a specific position and I rarely sit in a specific position. I have been on the edge about Vandersteen Treo, or if the price is right 5s |
