| Ayre introduces the AX-8 integrated amp Maybe I'll grow into it but I agree the case work on the AX-8 looks pretty weak. I love the way my AX5/20 looks. | |
| Devialet Phantom? I would stay away from the phantom. They just don't sound all that good in my opinion. Personally I would look at the Naim mu-so or even Sonos. | |
| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black Well said Bob. Very much a 1% problem. I feel fortunate. | |
| Dog Proof Speaker Stands For Harbeth SHL5Plus Speakers Resonant Woods stands are excellent with Harbeths. Beautiful stands, very stable and sounds great to boot. I would imagine that all of the stands, including Sound Anchors, Skylan, when your dog get big enough and bumps the stands hard, the speak... | |
| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black Any views on the the AQ Diamond vs Coffee? I have the Coffee and they sound really good to me. I haven't had any real desire to upgrade but now that you guys are talking about it, hmm...makes me wonder :) | |
| RIP Chris Cornell What a talent! He will be missed. Not too many left. God rest his soul! | |
| best tube integrated under $5000 ? The Leben CS600 is a great sounding integrated tube amp. One of the best integrated tube amps, I’ve heard. They play really nice with Harbeths and DeVores. They also have a unique retro look that grows on you. You can probably can find a used one... | |
| Wavelength Proton DAC vs. Codex & Adding a server/renderer I'm using the Aurender N100h to the Codex, very happy with the performance and sound quality, both with stored music and Tidal content. Per Bob's comment, I've heard the Bluesound vault and that sounded pretty good with the Codex. If you have th... | |
| Wavelength Proton DAC vs. Codex & Adding a server/renderer I agree with @sfall, if you're going with Ayre balanced, go with the Codex. I'm fully balanced with Ayre components including Codex and Vandersteen speakers. Very happy with the results. | |
| Power cable I've played around changing the power cables on the Codex with both cheap and expensive cables. All changed the sound, not in a good way. I'm back to using the stock cable, it sounds the best in my opinion. I spoke with Alex at Ayre a while back... | |
| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black I when to the Lyric store in Manhattan to listen to a few speakers two years ago, I was not impressed with them at all. I guess, they didn't smell the money, when I walked into the store. Their lost, will never go back to demo or audition anythi... | |
| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black @ctsooner - btw on a side note, I love plasma TVs as well. I'm not sure if you know this or not but Panasonic ended up buying Pioneers Kuro plasma technology so the last plasma TVs made by Panasonic are based on the Pioneer Kuro. If you own the ... | |
| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black @ctsooner - congrats on the new toy! I heard Johnny loaded your speakers into the corners :) I get more impressed each day as the my Treo CTs continue to open up. Fun times ahead for you! Happy listening! | |
| Vandersteen help needed I'm also using all AQ cables with my Treo CT. I when with he double run AQ GO4 speaker cables per Rutan's recommendation. Interconnects are AQ Earth. Very happy with the setup. | |
| Speaker cables if your amp isn't between your speakers The other option is to place a custom order with your local audio dealer. I got custom Audioquest cables ordered through my dealer. |
