| Vimburg? I don't think you'll find many, if any, current Vimberg owners here, as they have not been released in the US very long. The Mino sounded excellent at RMAF last October. Vimberg Mino and Tonda are supposed to be at AXPONA in April, shown by Wynn... | |
| AudioQuest Niagara 1000 @ sameyers1I'm clueless as to why it would benefit a turntable to be plugged into the 1000, but I'd like to find out. It seems like my turntable motor just rotates the platter. | |
| Audition Your Speakers Online!? There is one guy on youtube who posts some very high quality speaker comparisons. The recording quality is very good, the sound level is matched, and you can really hear the difference between speakers. Here is his most recent comparison. He ha... | |
| Looking to get into Sonus Faber on a budget... Is it worth it? I'm not sure of the pricing of the various models in the new Sonetto range, but they are getting very nice reviews. I believe they are basically replacing the Venere line. | |
| Looking for speaker recommendations At the price of Magico A3, you can look at Legacy Audio Focus SE and Focal Kanta No.3. Also, used Focal Sopra No. 2. The Dyn Contour 60 sounded great at RMAF.As to Vimberg, although their entry level Mino sounded incredible at RMAF, it runs $29k,... | |
| Another help me spend money thread or maybe not.... going to AXPONA Fwiw, I was just told that both the VIMBERG Mino and Tonda speakers will be at Axpona with the new Distributor Wynn Audio. | |
| Audioquest Golden Gate or Big Sur mini-to-mini cable for my car use? So, today I received the Golden Gate mini-to-mini interconnect cable. Immediately upon connecting them, they don't sound any better than the el cheapo Griffin cable I've been using. Actually, it may sound worse at this point, seemingly making vo... | |
| Audioquest Golden Gate or Big Sur mini-to-mini cable for my car use? @ akg_caThanks, very interesting. So, in addition to the analog signal that comes out of my Galaxy S8 cell phone, is there also a digital signal? BTW, the content that I'm playing on my phone is SiriusXM and Amazon Music. | |
| Another help me spend money thread or maybe not.... going to AXPONA @ hughp3Yes, that is an issue with a lot of these newer speaker systems. They have all sorts of room correction technology involved with them. Kii and Eikon sound great at shows, but that is not going to work for me. Personally, I'm just intere... | |
| Thinking to upgrade speakers At that price range, I would also hear the Dali Epicon 8. Sopra No 3 sounded great at RMAF, driven by the newly reborn Classe mono amps. Legacy Audio Aeris should also be considered. If you can get to $29k, run, don't walk, to hear the Vimberg ... | |
| Audioquest Golden Gate or Big Sur mini-to-mini cable for my car use? Thanks, I went with the cheaper Golden Gate, and I had an Amazon gift card my kids had given me, so it didn't cost me much. | |
| Audioquest Golden Gate or Big Sur mini-to-mini cable for my car use? I'm currently using a cable that might be considered the cheapest option -- a Griffin 1 meter cable. It doesn't sound bad, but you never know if a higher quality cable will make a difference until you try it. So, I was going to try one of the AQ... | |
| Another "Help me choose my speakers" thread Dali Oberon 5: Sensitivity (2,83 V/1 m) [dB] 88 Nominal Impedance [ohms] ... | |
| Another "Help me choose my speakers" thread The new DALI Oberon 5 at $1,100 would sound fantastic for that music! I heard the Oberon 7 at Rocky Mountain Audio Fest and they blew me and my buddies away for the price($1,400). BTW, you can get them on Amazon. | |
| Another help me spend money thread or maybe not.... going to AXPONA @ hughp3Correction: It was actually at RMAF last October that I heard the Vimberg Mino.Vimberg is part of Tidal Speakers. Looks like Tidal will be at AXPONA, and demonstrated in the Bricasti and/or Bel Canto rooms. If Vimberg is at AXPONA, it will... |
