| Attractive Bookshelf - Under $3k It's interesting you mention the build quality of the Dali. I'm right now contemplating ordering replacement grills for my Ikon IIs as they got damaged, and when I tried to repair, seemed a bit flimsy. There's also a small section where the vene... | |
| Attractive Bookshelf - Under $3k Thank you everyone for the informative responses, and apologies for not responding sooner. From the feedback provided, I started to put together a flexible shortlist, and some of my reasoning. Vandersteen VLR CT - I also heard these with my B... | |
| Attractive Bookshelf - Under $3k To answer reubent, these will go on stands, which I'll want to match properly with the speakers. They will need to be fairly close the the wall. I think I'll have about 6-12" max. | |
| Suggestions for an integrated upgrade please I purchased a Belles Aria last year and couldn’t be happier. I absolutely love it. | |
| Who are your three favorite female singers? Does anyone why Natalie Merchant Tigerlily is so expensive on vinyl or anything about the 2015 release? I’m interested in a mint or near mint copy but when I did a search a few days ago I only found copies available starting at about $100. | |
| Belles Aria Integrated burn in time Yesterday I had my first opportunity to really crank it up. For a few minutes I had it close the 3 o’clock position (definitely too loud) but mostly had it about 12-1, and I was continuously impressed, which is why I don’t see how it can get any b... | |
| The Belles Aria Signature Integrated Amplifier I recently had the opportunity to compare the Aria Integrated with the Signature with Johnny R. For full disclosure, I spent most of my time there (a few hours with my vinyl) with the Aria and Rogue Sphinx v3 as the Signature is outside my budget.... | |
| Rogue Audio Sphinx V3 I ended up auditioning the Sphinx v3 side by with the Belles Aria, and went with the Belles. It seems I’m not the only one who was impressed with Belles products as the wait time is longer than usual due to the number of orders, so hopefully I’ll ... | |
| Rogue Sphinx or Belles Aria??? After reading several reviews and posts about the Sphinx v3 (and prior models) and the one review of the Aria and few posts, I finally got the opportunity to listen to them side by side. In short, I just placed the order for the Aria. I brought al... | |
| How to shop for an integrated? About the NAD, there’s really nothing specific that I was looking to change, but I’ve been thinking about replacing it for a while now. For starters, I bought it in Singapore, and it runs on 220V only so I’ve been using a transformer/voltage regul... | |
| How to shop for an integrated? Thanks for all the replies, I didn’t expect so many by morning.For those who wanted more details, the budget is roughly $1500-2500. I currently have Dali Ikon 2s, but need to replace them with something more aesthetically pleasing for my wife (i.e... | |
| Havel Röst , H90, Moon 240i I’m in a similar situation and both the H90 and 240i are on my shortlist.To add a bit more color, I’m using Dali Ikon 2s but will in the near future look for replacing them with something more aesthetically pleasing to the wife, like the Sonus Fab... | |
| Switch from AB to D I’ve been researching integrated amps, and the name that keeps popping up is Rogue Audio, particularly the Sphinx. I’ve not yet heard it, but plan to audition the v3 in the near future. In many of the reviews and comments, people seemed generally ... | |
| What's the best integrated amp in the $1500-$2000 range? I’d forgotten to mention the Audiolab 6000a and thought I’d throw that into the conversion to see how it compares with the integrateds below. | |
| Rogue Audio Sphinx V3 Concerning the Class D section, this is precisely what I've been reading about with the Sphinx. It seems all the reviewers were surprised that Rogue has been able to achieve the sound that they do with the Class D, and the audio world cannot unde... |
