| Dynaudio Contour C60 or Magico A3 or Vandersteen Treo CT You may also ask if you can bring your own electronics to the different places in order to hear the speakers with your own gear. That may help minimize differences in setups, if you are willing to drive to the different locations to audition. | |
| Please help me figure out what I need to do this. My head spins with tech talk.. @abstract if you are considering a different product then you really need to listen to them before purchasing. You may read online or in a review that X sounds like A,B, and C but find out it really doesn't sound like that by your definition when ... | |
| Please help me figure out what I need to do this. My head spins with tech talk.. @abstract from your last description it sounds like what's most important is that you get a replacement DAC that satisfies the sound you're looking for coming from the BAT VK-D5.A DAC will have digital inputs allowing you to use an inexpensive CD ... | |
| I can not live without "Room Correction" I've been a huge fan of Dirac Live since it was first released as computer software several years ago. Even if your room is acoustically perfect, it can address the speaker and electronics to some extent as well. If your room is not perfect, it wi... | |
| Best of these integrated amps... @flip49er FWIW hooking up an external DAC to the Devialet Expert Pro you will still hear the sound character of the external DAC come through. Same if you use an external phono stage. | |
| Bryston owners We connect all of our Bryston amps using the balanced connectors for practical reasons. With the large number of gear we have in close proximity to each other, the environment can be pretty noisy and balanced connections are necessary even for sho... | |
| Prism Sound Callia We're the US west coast dealer for the Prism Sound Callia.Signed up to carry the Callia only after hearing it first and being very impressed with its sound quality (we purchase many products for evaluation before ever contacting the manufacturer).... | |
| Any Bryston 4B3 amp owners out there? I find the Cubed and BSST2 amplifiers to sound significantly different. I strongly prefer the Cubed sound in direct comparisons, but I have met people who prefer the BSST2 sound instead also in direct comparisons. | |
| Any Bryston 4B3 amp owners out there? I would say the Parasound A21, Pass Labs X250.8, and Bryston 4B3 will sound different from each other and it will break down to your personal preference. Meaning you would benefit from hearing them in person if at all possible.In my opinion, the o... | |
| Bryston or Pass Labs I had a chance to perform a direct comparison between the Bryston 2.5B3 and a Pass Labs amp (I forget the model) in the same setup. They simply sound different so I believe it will really come down to which you prefer. I prefer the Bryston, but th... | |
| Any Pro-ject and/or Music Hall table owners out there? We've got an Xtension 10 set up here, and it's relatively easy to set up and match cartridges with.One of the nicer things about the Pro-Ject carbon fibre tonearms is you can adjust azimuth by rotating the actual tonearm. The tonearm adjustments a... | |
| Very Bad purchase from upscale audio Acoustic Zen Adagio Acoustic Zen DoNot make a redwood veneer.If you're referring to the speakers this thread is about, Figure (or Figured) Red is available as a finish from Acoustic Zen. It is not as popular of a finish but it is available. | |
| Bryston BDA-3 To clarify, in my first post, I said the specific SABRE DAC I was comparing against sounded a particular way. I did not mean to imply all SABRE DACs will sound the same. I would be the first person to say it's all about the implementation, as that... | |
| Bryston BDA-3 @plutos I would only recommend the Neko Audio D100 Mk2 DAC if you're looking for an analog sounding DAC with the benefits of a well-designed solid state design, over other considerations. | |
| Bryston BDA-3 @plutos I haven't had a chance to do a lot of critical listening with the Sonica DAC yet, but my first impression is that it retains the same basic SABRE sound character but might be slightly faster at transients and thus have slightly more separa... |
