| Best Match for Dynaudio Contour S3.4? IMO,Too old and not on par with the new X series pass amps | |
| Amplifier suggestion for Dynaudio Sapphire IMO, for that cash there are better options.I would also consider upgrading cables. | |
| Amplifier suggestion for Dynaudio Sapphire Pass labs and BAT would be my choice | |
| Best Match for Dynaudio Contour S3.4? You shouldnt have to pay more than $2500 for a dead mint one with low hours..I wouldnt spend more than say 2200 and Ive seen them as low as 1800.I would buy from private owner and not a store.Make sure you get the serial number and call Pass in CA... | |
| Best Match for Dynaudio Contour S3.4? Fredorama For heaven sakes!..Why dont you audition a Pass labs X150.5 and be done with it.Its in your budget, mates extremely well with those speakers,great resale,great service,detail,musical,doesnt run hot,smaller size..comeon get in the game.IM... | |
| BAT VK 300 SE Vs. CJ CA200 For Dyn Contour S3.4 Ive heard BAT Tube gear into the Saphires and the C1s,wasnt really that impressed.I suggest Pass Labs | |
| Wilson Sophia 3 Bigpond That makes no sense.If owners complain about finish cracks on this site time and time again I dont need to see it,I beleive them.Really makes no diff as Im not interested in buying speakers at this time and I would think long and hard befo... | |
| Wilson Sophia 3 If you follow threads on this site, Wilson has finish issues.period!,,I really like the new Sasha speaker so im not bashing the line.I almost pulled the trigger on a pair of sophia 2s but the saleman let it slip that the new 3 would be shipped in ... | |
| Wilson Sophia 3 IMO, I agree and diagree with J63..Wilsons are well documented for having finish issues.They also update or replace their line rather quickly compared to others ie Dynaudio which always hits the pocket books of those who own them.If it was my deal... | |
| small room... tube amp... summer I had the same issues.Pretty simple, sell the tube amp and go with a nice SS amp.You will also save $$ not having to buy those expensive tubes | |
| Hi guys, a tube amp for my micro utopia be Of those 3 manufactures and Ive owned Focal uptoias along all 3 makers of tube amps I would buy Jadis..None of the models you selected/ but given the really small list thats where I would go.Now if you want to expand the list there are better options | |
| Best Dac for Jadis Defy and JPL combo? Ive owned a JPL for over 15 years and IMO the American black plate RCA 12AX7 from the 1950s sound the best..Tele tubes are too sterile (again IMO) and the prices are ridiculous.1950s Raytheon are nice as well and a little cheaper. The 1950s Mullar... | |
| Dynaudio Confidence C2 or Focus 360 ? Kind of strange selection there.Havent heard the Focus line and probably never will(no real desire),the 3.4s are OK but much better speakers out there at that price point..and the C2s I wouldnt want(they seem to be the oddball speaker in the confi... | |
| Ever Used the Audioquest King Cobra? Ya get what ya pay for(most of the time).Its an entry level cable and it sounded that way in my system..If it works for you ,great!Im happy for you..I would never recommend that cable reguardless of the price point, especially from his Hovland pre... | |
| Ever Used the Audioquest King Cobra? IMO, I agree with Griggs..I ran it for a short time until I had $$ , its an entry level cable @ $75 bucks new on ebay .Would only buy if money is a real issue. |
