| Primaluna and Rogue But how do you determine build quality? The place/country of production says nothing. Great and crappy products may even come from the same factory. So unless you open the gear and you are an expert on the field it is hard to say how well somethin... | |
| Top Luxman integrated - 509u or 590Aii? If you have efficient speaker I would go for the 590Aii. But what is the reason you have chosen for Luxman? | |
| Primaluna and Rogue Buy the equipment with the best sound to your ears. It should never matter if equipment was made in China, in the US, or if it was made by dancing dwarfs. Those companies try to sell you something and a company that doesn't advertise doesn't autom... | |

| Why I like my home system better than live music @LloydcYou will find jerks at any concerts. I have some experience working as a volunteer behind a bar. I prefer a rock audience over a jazz crowd.With rock/metal concerts I talk about acts like My Dying Bride, Slayer, Machine Head, Opeth etc. | |
| Why I like my home system better than live music Elizabeth you are so wrong about the crowds at rock/metal concerts. They are the most friendly easy going people I know. At jazz or classical concerts everyone is so uptight and full of themselves. At a rock concert you can have a friendly chat wi... | |
| Benz Glider vs Dynavector DV-17D3 phono cartridge Personally I think that Lyra carts are better (maybe just different) then Benz. I have heard the glider and ace in a VPI acout but I prefered the Lyra Dorian. Remeber this is my opinion. | |
| Totem Mani 2 sig what do you think? @Jaffeassc I just read your thread about the mani 2 sig. Do you still use the tube amps?I really in doubt wether the mani-2 are the speaker for in the future. Right now I cannot afford them, new or 2nd hand. My girlfriend decided we need a new bat... | |
| Nait XS with Magneplanar 1.6? Elizabeth is right but don't trust manufactures specs. They sometimes (often) lie, or do not tell the whole truth. When the say an amp delivers 50w into 8 ohm and 100w into 4 ohm. They don't really lie but more often then not the 8 ohm power deliv... | |
| Why three motors? @T_boneThat is a Shroeder tonearm | |
| Need speaker advise for "budget" speakers I will try to find a Dynaudio dealer. Hopefully one that carries the countour S3.4. That abd the C1 are the models I'm most interested in 2nd hand.Steveaudio. Do you know what the difference is between the Mani-2 and the Mani-2 sig? I have been ar... | |
| Pass or Spectral Hi,I cannot comment on Spectral/Avalon combo but I didn't like the Spectral/Magico combo that much. At a introduction show of the Magico M5 they were using Spectral gear. It all sounded a bit emotionless to me. Magico and Spectral are both really ... | |
| Most NEUTRAL class A mono's Symphonic Line Kraft 300 are the best class A mono's I have heard. But I have to be honest I hear them at a show in an all Symphonic Line set with Lumen white speakers. But that set sounded neutral and powerfull to my ears.Maybe the Soulution mono... | |
| What to replace Nordost speaker cable? I have owned Nordost Reddawn mkII speaker cables, Wireworld Atlantis 5 and NBS active IV speaker cables. IMHO the wireworld and Nordost where pretty much the same. Both were ok both maybe had a slight hint at brightness. Then I switched to the NBS... | |
| Has anyone heard or tried the new Naim Dac? I think naim gear is a bit of hit or miss. Some of Naim digital gear does seem to suffer from digitalitis. The Naim CD5x sounds fine but the CDX seems to suffer from digitalitis. |
