| Audio Research Ref 5 preamp Kurt_tank... You maybe too late on that one..most who do the merry-go-round with ARC gear have already stepped up and dumped the 3.. | |
| DAC advice I like the Arcam as well,call me crazy..Ive demoed other dacs with it and heard nothing worth spend $$$ on.. You will have to spend more than 3 grand on a player to hear an upgrade IMO...I have to agree w/above poster ..dump the Mac | |
| Used tubes question but buy stock factory brand new tubes IMO ,I totally disagree..Ive bought tons of used tubes on ebay with no issues.Mullards,Seimens etc etc,Seems rather silly to spend twice the money from a tube broker or buy inferior "new" tubes when the real ... | |
| Upgrading from Wilson Sophia 2's? Enjoying them for the most part, but they can sound aggressive and make mediocre recordings sound like crap and be somewhat fatiguing. IMO,thats why alot of folks shy away from Wilson.Tons of speakers out there..Only you can decide what works for ... | |
| Has anyone ever switched to Harbeth Taters ..I own Dynaudio,never owned Harbeths but have listened to the line on a few occasions, 40.1 the most recent.I personally dont think Dynaudio has a "house sound" as stated by the above poster,very neutral which is one of their strenghts.I s... | |
| Does the WATT/Puppy 8 image as well as the 7? I have to agree with Jfrech in reguards to the W/P evolution..I would buy a pair of Sophias before venturing into the W/P 6..The W/P 8 is far from "worthless". IMO an outstanding speaker and stands head and shoulders over the 7 model..The new Sash... | |
| B&W 802 N vs. D "You have dodged my power related question completely that alone has told me a lot about you!" I have no imput on how to make B&W speakers sound correct,not dodging anything..Simply just dont care...Back to the original poster ,go listen and ... | |
| B&W 802 N vs. D Bombaywalla..I have no idea what works with the 802D..and dont care..I have no interest in them or the process in trying to make B&W speakers sound good..No im not looking for a fight,just thought your writings were silly and unimportant to be... | |
| B&W 802 N vs. D Bombaywalla ..We all know that the 802 needs power,old old news,,After reading your post or review maybe you should take your own advise and stop "mouthing off" | |
| Switch from Parasound JC-1 to Bel Canto Ref 1000? I agree..Speakers first/then the amps to compliment them.If your thinking of changing speakers do that first.If you choose the C4s( which I currently have) I would strongly suggest Pass labs X.5 series.I would also cross off the studio 2 on that s... | |
| B&W 802 N vs. D DIW..I believe there is a single Wilson and a single Kharma for sale on this very site or there was within the past 30 days,they are out there..and cheaper because fewer are looking for singles..My point again is simply go listen to whats avalible... | |
| King Cobra to Colombia or Colorado Upgrade? Mijs ..I had Virtual Dynamics night series 3 ICs..They were way too difficult to deal with in terms of hookup/extremely thick and stiff.I found them to be too bright as well..One cable actually broke the rca connector on the back of my cd player f... | |
| Pass X 150 and X150.5 differences please. I owned both at different times..The X150 for a very short time.Sounded too SS and lacked overall involvement for me.In short, too sterile,IMO..The X150.5 however I really enjoyed,Greater detail,wider soundstage with less of a sterile SS sound...I... | |
| B&W 802 N vs. D Jdec..It doesnt impact my speaker sales, I dont sell speakers...but I agree with Audiofeil totally.He nailed that discussion shut.I would venture to say Focal and Wilson sell as much or more speakers in the higher end market than B&W .I would ... | |
| B&W 802 N vs. D "I could not justify spending $100,000 + more on any other speaker brand period. IMO it is not possible to improve on the sound performance you get from the 802d in a significant/real world listing experience. "100+ grand???LOL, where do you shop!... |
