| Kimber BiFocal XL vs. Carbon 18 XL + Jumpérs My system is different - McIntosh MC 302 and Sonus faber Olympica Nova Vs.... I tried the 12 TC...wasn't impressed with the sonics and had a good experience with the company so I returned them and went with the Bifocal XL. I really like the sound... | |
| Final Report, Canare 4S11 Speaker Cable I was very pleased with the Canare 4S11 and tried the Kimber Kables Bifocal XLI preferred the Kimbers significantly...and until they the Kimbers out performed the my previous AudioQuest Rocket 44s.So I recommend Canare 4S11 as a great budget wire ... | |
| Turntables.....A point of diminishing returns? @ Op really?A component sounding at a value based on its MSRP? And comparing performance against the MSRP...I can understand performance varying company to company based on their IP and systems though I don’t expect that variation to be reflected... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Bad Company 10 from 6 | |
| Looking for a turntable around $1k... I’ve experienced direct drive and belt drive turntables. I believe it’s about execution in the product versus the approach. For example a motorcycle with a chain, belt or shaft are different but the overall objective of riding motorcycles is the s... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? He ain’t heavy....The Hollies | |
| Speaker Cables I have been auditioning Kimber Kable’s Bifocals and they sound great - still questioning the dollar value but clearly sound better than other speaker cables in my system. Mixed feelings because I was happy using cheaper cables. | |
| Looking for a turntable around $1k... I think a Rega P3 is a great option - the great value of a P3 in my opinion is the upgrade ability and the basis for using a MC cartridge. Here's the rub - streaming and CDs are 'more convenient' mediums so I would be inclined to get a P1 or P2 i... | |
| Speakers The single most critical component Congratulations to everyone who had the willingness and patience to decipher the long run on sentences full of abbreviations and symbols! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Pink Floyd, The Wall. And an old fashioned close at hand. | |
| Turntables.....A point of diminishing returns? @joey_v I think you hit the nail on the head "At some point, what matters to you may seem large even if to someone else it is infinitesimal." | |
| Looking for recommendations for a pair of full range speakers for ~8k or under I like the models you are evaluating.And here’s my two cents....note - I’m on my 3 different set of Sonus fabers and I selected my initial Sonus fabers over the B&Ws. The B&Ws tweeter irritated me ears - too bright. I’ve owned the Sonetto... | |
| Thoughts on...SF Concertino Home (Existing) + SF Gravis I Sub (New) I have heard a home theatre system with the Sonettos and Gravis subs and it was exception given the price point. I would be surprised if the subs didn't provide you what you are looking for.I personally would be more likely to upgrade the amp sec... | |
| Turntables.....A point of diminishing returns? I'd like to say beauty is in the eye of the beholder....that is one ugly turn table. I think they need to include some sort of turn table screen with it so the buyer only has to listen to it! | |
| Recommendations for a modestly-priced audio system? NAD D 3020 and a set of PSB book shelf speakers is another fine option. And for what it's worth, $1000 can get you something worth listening too and can support music appreciation.The finest things in life don't cost any money - not that a set of... |
