| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? DarTZeel 108 NHB for two reasons. It sounds so good; and is not a giant machine gobbling up space and tubes. I might add superb serve from Hervé himself. | |
| What do you feel is the best used SACD player? Don't know your budget, but for about $4,000 you can get a used EMM Labs CDSA designed by Ed Meitner. It has the added advantage of making red-book CDs sound even better than SACD. | |
| UPGRADE CDP NEED YOUR HELP I would second Mattkimb96's advice and recommend the Ayre CX-7e which should be available used for about $1500. It compares very well with players costing much more, in my opinion. | |
| The Best Audiophile Earphones headphones and Amp In my experience you must be willing to accept the compromises of any conventional headphones which I was unable to do. Recently I was in the market, auditioned Sennheiser 850s with various headphone amps. Good sound, right timbre, but lacking dep... | |
| Headphones integrateds with XLR preouts? Bryston is coming out with a new headphone amp which looks good. Check their website or contact. | |
| Kimber's new KS 6000 SC I now have a pair of KS6063 cables in my system on trial replacing KS3033. Similar in character to the 3033s, the 6063s are more refined and warmer to my ear. At the beginning of the trial I did not think that it was worth changing, but after havi... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Sonus Faber Fenice. I heard them only briefly at a dealer playing a large orchestra and chorus. Positive: realism, effortlessness. Negative: limited production and price at about 140k euros. Ask for a pair for Christmas and don't forget a good fro... | |
| What speaker for being close to rear wall? For the past 5 years I have used PSB M2 Platinum monitors about 14 inches from the back wall and about 18 inches from a corner. All that seems to do is to enhance the bass, no standing waves. This speaker ports at the front which is better than a ... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? PSB M2 Platinum monitors exhibit great energy, excelling in everything from acoustic jazz, female vocal, to large-scale symphony orchestra. While the Platinums are the top of the line, the other models have been well received. Canada seems to crea... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Mceljo. I will buy the Mementos only if they sound better in my system in a home audition than the PSBs. In that case, the Mementos will be the best I have ever heard; if not, the PSBs are still champs. Thanks for your input. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Not to go off topic but I've compared exotics to the PSB M2s and still prefer them. I agree with the skepticism about price in the previous post. This weekend I'm listening to SF Guarneri Mementos which if I buy will automatically become the best ... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? The best speakers I have ever heard are the ones I have owned since 2005--PSB Platinum M2 monitors. They are so good that I am trying hard to replace them with much more expensive speakers but can't let them go. Very frustrating, but with every sy... | |
| Kimber's new KS 6000 SC I am using KS3033 speaker cables and am very satisfied. However I heard a pair of KS6063s at a hifi show last weekend and they contributed to a great sound with Vivid speakers. Great detail throughout the audio spectrum which tempted me. I am cons... | |
| Opinions on YG Carmels? I don't know if the YGs are fully broken in, but they are demos which have been played in the shop. In the few hours I have had them at home, they seem to have improved. So I think they have a way to go before they fully bloom. By the way, I have ... | |
| YG Acoustics or Dynaudio Thanks to everyone who took the time to contribute to this discussion. I received lots to think about before dropping the big bucks, or euros. |
