| suggestions for new phono stage Modwright gear, specifically the PH9.0XT would be a dynamite choice. I have Dan’s reference phono PH150 with NOS Telefunkin 6922’s. I always consider not just fantastic sound, but fantastic customer service and I’m not sure there’s many better com... | |
| ???YOUR Personal Favorite???Why??? Joseph Audio pulsar 2 graphene are some of the most musical speakers I’ve ever heard and probably my favorite, but never owned them. Slightly higher than your budget of $15k would be the QLN signatures. I own the Prestige 5s and just love the tona... | |
| Power Amplifier - Maximum Resolution & Detail! Boulder amplification. If precision, detail, soundstage are your priorities with cost no object their 3000 series amps would be difficult to beat. | |
| DCS Sending Legal Notice To Reviewer (Golden Sound) Over an Old Review of Their Bartok DAC This to me highlights the fact that today’s consumer can’t help themselves but to believe and trust the opinions of others, who for the most part, have little to no professional credibility AND they’re gullible enough to purchase something that is... | |
| Decware Sarah 300B Amp? @bluethinker i too have the Dynaudio HS and am contemplating getting the QLN Prestige 5’s. I know you said the Prestige 3’s are in your system, but in the same room on your gear how would you compare the two? I got a lot of great suggestions on ... | |
| Floorstanding speaker experiences/recommendations in the $12-25k range @audiotroy @kmcong I’ve heard of Legacy and am intrigued after looking at their specs more in depth. Appreciate it! | |
| Floorstanding speaker experiences/recommendations in the $12-25k range @soix @audphile1 Definitely hear you guys and better understand the limitations of my amp for sure and will find a suitable match. Despite the generalized pairing of Octave with Dynaudio those speakers love current and my amp likely struggle... | |
| Floorstanding speaker experiences/recommendations in the $12-25k range Subs with my current speakers. I’m more of a minimalist, and I know subs are always good (at least according to John Hunter from REL), but it’s “cleaner” to move to full-range floorstanding speakers. I wish they had more colors to choose from for ... | |
| Floorstanding speaker experiences/recommendations in the $12-25k range @hilroy48 I was hoping to demo the Confidence 30s, the 50s are amazing and just won TAS speaker of the year, but obviously way too big for my room. Like several posters here have said, looking into subs is a good option too. Thanks again to all... | |
| Floorstanding speaker experiences/recommendations in the $12-25k range Thank you all for some great recommendations! I don’t post much, just stalk the boards. Appreciate everyone’s time and thoughtful responses! | |
| Floorstanding speaker experiences/recommendations in the $12-25k range @soix Thanks for starting the conversation. My room is approximately 14' wide by 23' deep, standard ceiling height (not open or vaulted), so I do have some room. I listen to mostly 50's through early-mid 60s jazz (Ben Webster and Gene Ammons are... | |
| Looking for 200 watt Amp to drive Dynaudio Heritage speakers @soix Yes, you’re absolutely correct…I reread OPs post and it seems he does want to swap in a new amp. Sorry for mucking up your post OP, with recommendations not salient to your question! Personally, given your ideas of weight restrictions I’d ... | |
| Looking for 200 watt Amp to drive Dynaudio Heritage speakers @mofojo Yes, I tried several other integrated amps before Octave and I love its tonal balance, very dynamic with the super black box (essentially a huge capacitor bank). You can roll several different types of output tubes, but for this amp, the... | |
| Looking for 200 watt Amp to drive Dynaudio Heritage speakers I own Dynaudio HS, run them with an Octave V80SE integrated tube amp (with super black box) and I love the combination. The Pass Labs INT25 or 60 and the Luxman class A integrated amps (used) would all be excellent. | |
| Power cable for AQ Niagara 5000 Agree with @ghdprentice. I own a Niagara 7000 and tried several manufacturers power cords and the AQ Dragon was easily the best. Saying that I didn’t try say an Odin cord or ones that are stratospherically expensive. With the 5000, I would start a... |
