| Any bad experience with wilson audio sasha w/p? If you plan to buy a new pair of Sashas, you may want to wait until late Fall. Wilson will be releasing a new speaker just above the Sasha called the Alexia. There may be a few more used Sashas hitting the market by then and they should be in exce... | |
| TW Raven Owners: Set Up Questions I used to have an unsuspended SME Model 10. I first tried Mapleshade brass cones on a 4" thick maple block. Not great. I preferred placing the turntable right on the top shelf of my Zoethecus rack. Then I bought a Townshend Seismic Sink for about ... | |
| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? Wow. Thank you for taking the time to write that review. Was your audition in your own system? I've heard some of the things you describe, like the much larger than life vocal presentation, in poorly set up systems with very good components. I lea... | |
| What is the best vintage TT for new audiophile? I have a Denon 47F if anyone is interested in buying it. | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne Any news about when these speakers might be available to buy or to audition? | |
| Raven AC3 I agree with Wrm57. This thread is about the Raven AC3. I've heard it in the distributor's room at two audio shows. It sounded dark and and less than neutral to me each time. However, this may have been the tube electronics and horn speakers. In o... | |
| Adjusting counterweight on Loricraft RCM I own a PRC4 and agree with everything Doug just wrote. The arm can be lifted straight up and out. It takes some force because of the magnet pulling it down. The brass collar around the base of the arm remains on the deck. My counterweight is atta... | |
| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? So do we agree that competent designers listen to their designs as part of the development process? If so, than the decisions to use certain parts and reject others are based on objective engineering principles and then refined by the subjective a... | |
| Speaker cable suggestion for Pass Labs XA30.5 I use Harmonic Technology cables with my Pass XA160.5 amps. They are short and thick as Pass recommends and I have found them to be a very good value. You should be able to find a used pair at your price point. I use the Pro 9 speaker cables, 1.5M... | |
| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? Atmasphere, are you saying there is no "art" involved in designing amps and preamps? If it is all engineering, then given any number of competent designers using the same circuit, would they not develop identical sounding amps and preamps because ... | |

| Speaker Placement Issue/Thoughts I think your issue may be set-up related. I have read "Get Better Sound" and actually use a digital laser measuring device ($50 Home Depot) and got everything to within 1/16th. It made a big difference. I placed a dot on the wall behind my listeni... | |

| Eggleston spkr owners - which SS or hybrid amp ... I used to have Eggleston Rosa. Pass Labs amps. First Aleph 5, then Aleph 2 ending with XA100.5. The Rosa needs lots of good clean power. Pass amps are an excellent match. | |
| Pass Labs XP 30 VS Ayre KXR Pre Well, I don't know about percentages. But I would say that while listening to analog, the difference with high frequencies was noticeable, but not great. Over a longer period of time, I would find the Ayre a bit bright. On digital, it was much mor... |
