| Speaker Pairing Question Just by chance I heard those speakers today attached to an Ayre AX-7e integrated. They were excellent together and should be at the top of your list. | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Who wants off the Merry go round? | |
| Seeking suggestions for Preamp I recently travelled a similar path and settled on an Atma Sphere MP-1 MKIII. I'm very happy with it. The world class phono stage is a real bonus if you need it.I also looked through SS preamps and I'm not convinced they will match your sound pref... | |
| Lyngdorf RP-1 Room Correction Device, opinions pls The Lyngdorf is a good unit. In my experience it made significant sonic improvements without changing the sound in any discernible way. That may sound like a contradiction but in my room it fixed some bass issues, and tightened the overall sound, ... | |
| Best preamp for my system. I think adding a tubed preamp will give you the qualities you are searching for. In addition to the ARC, Bat, and Conrad, you might also consider Atma Sphere, and VTL. The Atma Sphere comes with an excellent phono section (optional) which put it a... | |
| Best tubed pre-amp w/phono stage for ss amps? I second the Atma Sphere. Not only is it perhaps the best tubed preamp out there, but the phono stage is as good as any I've owned. | |
| Tubes or S.S. for Thiel CS 2.4? Thiel and Jeff Rowland showed together at the latest CES. | |
| Is A Live Concert Stereo Or Mono I could be off the mark here but the point your emailer may have been trying to make, and how it differs from Tvad's assessment, is whether the performance is amplified or not. If it is not then Tvad is right on that it is not stereo or mono it's ... | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond or Aerial 20T v2. Bar81 who are you talking to? | |
| I am sick of cables I think bar81 was commenting on the original poster's statement that price does not automatically correlate with quality. | |
| I am sick of cables I am no expert but my opinion continues to be that expensive cables make a very subtle impact. An entire system of very expensive cables can easily exceed $10,000. I suggest finding a good cable that is transparent and spending the savings on upgr... | |
| Ayre QB-9 USB DAC As far as I know it's not out yet. CES 2009 was the first introduction. I haven't heard a specific release date. | |
| Speaker match with Spectral? I've seen Aerial paired with Spectral in shows in years past. | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond or Aerial 20T v2. I know what you are saying. I had Eidolons (not diamond). I looked at Indra and preferred it over my Eidolons because the crossover (see holographic thing) was just way better. That is what Avalon is doing better than most and also why the set up ... | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond or Aerial 20T v2. I disagree with part of that. The Isis are insanely good and insanely expensive. The Indras are just a mini version of Isis. Maybe they didn't have them set up correctly. Sure they pale to the diamonds but at 1/2 of the price they should. As Mark ... |
