| Not much discussion around MBL @prof I appreciate the further details. I do also appreciate they are subjective, but I do sense we probably like many of the same finer points of the MBL gear and certainly that includes the timbrel texture and realism, it just makes them sing so... | |
| Hegel H360 comparing to seperates? Please take it for what it is worth:I heard both the H360 and the Hegel Reference separates - pre/amp/DAC with Blade IIs at the Los Angeles Audio Show. The demo used the H360 and its internal DAC vs. the separates and though there was a difference... | |
| Can a Quality Full Range Speaker be the Limiting Component in a system? @asvjerry "We're so used to the 'coloration' of the various drivers available, and that of the equipment and hardware that we employ with them, that 'accurate' exists in the mind and ear of the beholder...IMHO."Jerry, fully agreed. So, I say find ... | |
| $20K to spend on speakers…. . wait! There’s a catch! @blindjim "I’m not gonna live waiting for the next shoe to drop.I’ve no clue what tomorrow holds. I feel however I do know who holds it." Jim, thanks for the sage advice and reminder. I'm there with you on both. | |
| Not much discussion around MBL @prof I could not have said it better; really. | |
| Not much discussion around MBL @pops I would love to own a pair of MBL speakers as well. I have my eye on the MBL starter system - $33.4k. It includes the MBL 126 Speakers/stands, C31 CD/DAC, and C51 integrated amp. I heard this system about a year and a half ago at a dealer ev... | |
| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one @denon1 I also look forward to your review. Looks like at least a few of us are a little jealous of your new music maker. -Thanks for the comments vs. the Pass INT 250. | |
| My speaker quest I heard the Wilson Audio Alexx with T+A HV series separates this weekend and it was a really nice match. Would like to hear that with the Sabrina's too. | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? I'm not going to get into why tape sounds, or does not sound, better because I really have no idea why. But I can tell you via first hand experience at many audio shows, R-T-R just sounds excellent. That's why dealers like MBL bring them. You can ... | |
| Magico S5 vs KEF Blade 2 vs TAD Evo One vs YG Kipod II Sig w/pwr bass @jtgofish "Somehow they sound both incredibly detailed and incredibly musical." This is what the TAD Evolution 1 sounds like. | |
| My speaker quest The Sabrina's are lovely. Well balanced and dynamic. They like ARC, D'Agostino, Nagra, and I hear - though I've not heard, T+A. One of my favorite speakers. | |
| NEW!!! Wilson Alexia MkII listening session @4425 Didn't mean to imply the Alexia's were in my budget. More like stretching to get into Sabrina's but that is the speaker I've loved for a few years now; with ARC, Nagra, D'Agostino, they just sound so very good to me. I'm also hoping to hear ... | |
| Dealers hijacking the discussions @almarg You mentioned the EA-6B electronic warfare variant. I worked on the radar jamming gear on those aircraft from around late 1983 to the end of 1986. When at sea, I was aboard the USS John F Kennedy or the USS Saratoga.I'm a little late to ... | |
| NEW!!! Wilson Alexia MkII listening session Will get a chance to hear these in two weeks at Sunny's Components. Should be fun. | |
| Magico S5 vs KEF Blade 2 vs TAD Evo One vs YG Kipod II Sig w/pwr bass @fsmithjack Totally agree. It would be nice if the hijacker would either back away or commit to civil commentary. In the end, it is all about the way we hear it. And if many hear the same thing, as in this case with Magico break-in, then the devil... |
