| Amp Stand Cone Feet dsperber,Glad you got things solved. I actually found some old Billy Bags feet at the gentleman's house I bought the stands from. He unfortunately passed away and at his estate sale, I found them in a box in his attic. | |
| Amp Stand Cone Feet Thanks a bunch. I will definitely do that tomorrow. I am looking for a aluminum satin silver finish cone that is around 1.5 inch diameter base with a 1.5 inch length with a threaded 1/4 -20 screw. I think that is the size that will fit my Billy Ba... | |
| Amp Stand Cone Feet Thanks Tom, I wish it was that easy. Billy Bags has been out of business for over two years. No authorized dealers. I am sure they outsourced for their cone aluminum feet on their products, but I have no idea who they used. I've checked Amazo... | |
| Any ARC GSPre owners here ? Dittto Bifwynne | |
| Anyone receive Focal Utopia speakers with defects? I'm sorry, but I guess I'm just not trustworthy. I can hardly believe this dealer didn't know what they were, especially if they gave you a better deal on them than 10-15% off new pair retail price. If you purchased these speakers as brand new in ... | |
| mint best tractor gone? great news yip! We love your Mint tractors! | |
| Phono for Ortofon A95 Very nice system Nick. With your ARC tube pre and excellent Plinius solid state amp, I would stick with a tube phono pre to mate with your upstream tube preamplification. Obviously n ARC tube phono pre would be an great choice to mate with your AR... | |
| Phono for Ortofon A95 What's the rest of your set up and sonic preferences?I have an ARC Ref 2 Se phono with two inputs and outputs and very flexible loading options and love it. I have a TW AC, TW 10.5 tonearm and Dyna XV-1t cart. That said, the Pass Xono is a very ni... | |
| Vienna Acoustics Listz impressions Those Viennas remind me of the old Boston Acoustics Lynnwoods. I loved those speakers - did all the audiophile things right, were smooth, and you could play them as loud as you wanted. Looking forward to your Rockport impressions...... | |
| Rockport Avior or Magico S5 I'm as much to blame as Ctsooner for taking this in a tangent direction. I just thought it would help the OP see my course of listening to several speakers - Lansche, Magico, Vandersteen and Rockport before deciding on Rockports and why. Ctsooner ... | |
| Rockport Avior or Magico S5 Yeah, Ctsooner, I was surprised at the bass with the 7's at RMAF. I used a Dead Can Dance track I am very familiar with to assess bass and I played it in that room. The bass was very extended, just not tight and focused in the lower midbass making... | |
| Rockport Avior or Magico S5 From my experience listening to Vandersteen 5A's and 7's, I think there are truths to what everyone is saying here. I will use the Vandersteen 7's for an example. I heard them extensively with an empty room early in the morning the last day of the... | |
| Rockport Avior or Magico S5 Thanks Ken, I'm told the Cygnus should arrive sometime in June or July (late Q2). I was updated last week that it is still on track for that timeline and no delays are expected. I loved the Aviors when I auditioned them too, the Cygnus just offere... | |
| Rockport Avior or Magico S5 Joey V - you must be in DFW! Its true, it was me more than likely if you are in DFW. I auditoned the Aviors extensively twice in a one mnth period. Loved them. It's interesting that you mention harshness with Ayre, but with the new 20's, its more ... | |
| Rockport Avior or Magico S5 I have a slightly different take than Ctsooner. Its exactly why you need to audition both speakers before purchase - this is very subjective when you get to this level of loudspeaker and system/component matching is also another variable. That bei... |
