| Update on Audiogon Member Almarg Al - you have been a rock and a model here on audiogon. Much loved and much appreciated. Words cannot express. | |
| You know you are an Audiophile when: @chorus. I did that! | |
| Help Upgrading My Phono Chain Does the $3000 also get the added benefit of selling your P3 ensemble used? That would increase your budget some... | |
| New silversmith fidelium cable I meant to say that my prior cables were in the $500 - $2200 price range. Also, I should say that the Fideliums removed some "mid bass bump", not "mid bass bloat". Couldn't edit the above... | |
| New silversmith fidelium cable Hi All. I wanted to report on my impressions of the Fidelium speaker cables, which I had the pleasure of auditioning in my system and am purchasing a 6' pair. Up until now, I've been using Cerious Technologies Extreme Graphene cables, which repl... | |
| A23 Cables Is it true that one NEEDS to use A23 interconnects with Shindo equipment? That’s what some aficionados are saying. Even that some conventional cabling can damage Shindo equipment. | |
| Best Tubes for VAC Hi everyone. I just want to report that I finally installed the WE-KT88's in my Phi 200's, and WOW! they surpassed the Genelex Gold Lion KT88's by a wide margin. Here is what I wrote to my friends:"Changing the tubes was huge! Never before has... | |
| How does this make sense, any sense? Any sense at all?? Right now listening to a sweet bedroom system comprised of ls50’s, an Ayre VX5se, and a Benchmark 3 DAC. It is quite impressive and enjoyable. The room is 8 x 12, so the best response is perfect without a sub. Almost any other speaker overwhelms t... | |

| Guest suddenly takes it upon herself to move my speakers +1 big-greg, jl35. I don’t think the OP’s guest knew what she was doing. Maybe it’s more like watching a TV show, and turning the TV slightly so it is more viewable from your seat. Yes, you should always ask first… But I imagine she did not know ... | |
| Guest suddenly takes it upon herself to move my speakers Oh my god! You were sitting in the room with her, watched while she moved the speakers, and now you are complaining about HER! Get a grip and take some responsibility! She had no idea what she was doing, but you did, and you did nothing about it.... | |
| Closed back headphones and Focal What about fostex 900’s? | |
| Cool running amplifier Ayre v5xe. Idles at 100 W. Can be put into standby and idles at 18 W but keeps all critical components warm. Even has a 12 V trigger. Typically found used at $2500 or less. Whoops… Missed your budgetary constraint. | |
| Streaming + DAC questions. Please help this noob! I am having a hard time believing that different streamers have different sound quality when used with an external DAC. I would like to hear from people who have had experience comparing different streamers with the same DAC and noted significant... | |
| Bluesound Node2 with outboard DAC Some listeners using outboard DACs seem to imply that the node has an effect on digital SQ. On the Roon forum, one user claimed measurable difference on SQ (thru the speakers). I find that hard to believe. Is it really likely that the streamer de... |
