| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? Many speakers into my journey (ask my wife) and the best I’ve had in my room are the old school Magico V3 with a small Dyn sub. In my opinion the sourced Scanspeak tweeter is better than the new beryllium one. Less fatiguing to my ears. | |
| Your Ultimate Phono Preamp: Which One Would You Choose? After going through a dozen preamps, I am in love with and will never let go of the internal phono pre in my Levinson 585.5. No joke (and with the caveat IMHO) it has bested Pass, Para, Boulder. | |
| Who out there wants to, or has, validated an amazing cable find? OK, wow, gotta agree with the OP. Mine finally arrived a few ago and have fully broken in now. Holy S***! $80 total including shipping and I'm stunned. My system never sounded this good. Easily outperforms my Heimdall 2 and for 98% less. | |
| Magico A5 vs SF Amati vs Raidho D3 - Help me decide! Thanks so much for the feedback. The upgrade-itis in me is disappointed but my wife is super relieved. Maybe the best option is some subs as recommended or a DAC upgrade instead. | |
| Magico A5 vs SF Amati vs Raidho D3 - Help me decide! @erik_squires - I’ve found Dyn to be a bit too “boomy for me. I like the taught nature of Magico, just looking for the next level. Maybe Dyn Confidence?? | |
| Magico A5 vs SF Amati vs Raidho D3 - Help me decide! Music tastes are mostly classic rock, folk, americana, alternative, etc. Little to no jazz or classical. | |
| "Hardly Used / Less than 100 Hours / Took out for pics only"???? @pindac - WHAT A GREAT ANSWER!!! You clearly have way more self control than I do. Super impressed. Thanks for sharing! | |
| "Hardly Used / Less than 100 Hours / Took out for pics only"???? Thanks for all the replies! I can certainly see some scenarios where this would make sense. Some people though are just listing what they own and haven't used, and I guess that's the point of the post. Why??? @pindac - WHY?? Why did y... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and Infinite Sadness Recently re-release on vinyl in a beautiful package with book of lyrics and book of history of each track. Just awesome! | |
| How to make the Focal Kanta No. 2 speakers sing? I had these speakers for awhile and the Gaia II’s made a HUGE difference. If you can find them used, it’s a $500-$600 tweak and the difference for me was night and day. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Wilco “Cruel Country” Perfect album for just chillin, recorded and pressed so well! | |
| What is your experience with amp power? More power, more better when comparing apples to apples is pretty spot on. The best example of this I’ve ever heard is when I added a second Devialet to my system go from a 200 to a 400. It was an instant wow. Same technology all around, just more... | |
| Only two tracks to test your system, forever! This is a great list and super fun to try out some things I've never heard, or even heard OF. However, why does Roon's search suck so badly. Some on this post have made some simple spelling errors and Roon has no clue what I'm searching for. Ca... | |
| What selections do you play when showing off your system to others? Little Wing - Stevie Ray Vaughan Hell Freezes Over - pretty much any track - Eagles Let Down - Radiohead | |
| Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System? +1 - erik_squires Ha! |
