| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? EMM Labs XDS1 which sounds analogue, very much like my Skala/Oracle/SMEIV combo. The other day, music playing but not paying attention, I was surprised to see it was coming from CD and not vinyl. So far vinyl still superior but when the XDS1 is fu... | |
| Best Speaker synergy with AudioReseach and Bryston The solid-state Bryston and the hybrid SP9 mate very well in my experience. I had a Bryston 3B amp with my SP9, and then moved up to a Bryston 4BSST which I still have, and might always have. My speakers were Vandersteen 2Cs which gave a lovely, w... | |
| YG Acoustics or Dynaudio Living in Europe, as I do, some of these esoteric (to my knowledge) brands are not available. To avoid import duty, I am favoring the Dynaudios, made in Denmark. However, I am now also considering the US-made Thiel 3.7s, for their looks and, accor... | |
| YG Acoustics or Dynaudio Wise words Jaybo. I intend to take my time and audition seriously. Meantime I'll enjoy some music. | |
| YG Acoustics or Dynaudio My dealer who has knowledge of my system recommended the YGs; Dynaudios were recommended by a trusted audiophile friend. Also, the review in Stereophile indicates that the C1s can benefit by proximity to the wall, as quoted: 'Dynaudio is correct i... | |
| YG Acoustics or Dynaudio There seems to be some confusion about price differences between speakers being discussed. I am comparing the YG Carmel at $18k and the Dynaudio Confidence C1 at about $7.5k. These particular speakers have been recommended, thus the discussion. Fr... | |
| YG Acoustics or Dynaudio Jaybo and Mapman raised the possibility of PSB Synchrony as being lower cost competitors to the YGs and Magicos. Since I am already using PSB Platinum M2s (which are the top of the PSB line), would there be any advantage to change speakers? This i... | |
| YG Acoustics or Dynaudio Under other circumstances I would consider the Magicos but I am comparing two speakers at much different price points because the Confidence C1s and Carmels have been recommended to work well close to the front wall. My PSB M2s do that very well, ... | |
| YG Acoustics or Dynaudio Thanks for the useful comments so far. The problem of distance from the front wall is my biggest worry as I chose the PSBs because they port at the front and, spiked, deliver a tight and adequate bass. The Dynaudio Confidence C1s port at the back ... | |
| Audioquest Sky XLR vs Kimber Select 1130 While I have never heard the Sky, I recently installed a meter of KS1130 XLR in my system between Bryston preamp and Bryston 4BSST power amp. The result was a great improvement as the sound became bigger, with more detail, warmth and realism. The ... | |
| Where can I get components footers ? I would seriously consider a set of Vibrapod isolators which come in various weights to accommodate the component. They work very well on CD players and are very cost efficient. Check out the great website for information. | |
| Kimber Select 3033 versus 3035 and 3038 It might be a little late to join this discussion, but I was thinking of replacing my KS3033s with 3035s or 3038s. Then I placed a meter of KS1130 IC between pre and power amp, and the system improvement was stunning. Music acquired a realism that... |
