| What makes you build a system around an amplifier? After reading all of this, "What makes you build a system around an amplifier?". For me, it is a very well-matched speaker. No matter how good an amp, they all don't play well with all speakers. Synergy is most important, not a certain amp manufac... | |
| KEF LS50... The ultimate anal-ytical speaker for living rooms? @kalaliAgreed. I've heard them a number of times and mostly with Parasound gear. The more expensive gear made them sing ($6-8k if I remember right) and the lower-priced lower-powered gear struggled and they produced only mediocre sound. | |
| Is anyone going to the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest? I heard the Wilson Sabrina’s with Nagra Classic amp/pre and the dCS Debussy DAC at The Audio Salon in Santa Monica CA a few weeks ago. This combo is very very good. Unfortunately, at retail, it is out of my budget; it sure was amazing though. So I... | |
| KEF Reference 207/2s, 3s, or Blade 2s First of all, I don't have any experience with the KEF Reference 207/2s, 3s. But, I did hear the Blade 2s at LAAS with the Hegel H360, as well as the Rost and Hegel's reference separates. Basically a three-way shoot out. If you look up my user n... | |

| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening @steventoneyWas hoping myself for some others to comment on the Super Nine vs. the Gibbon X. | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening I have a 50 lb. integrated on a Salamander shelf for over ten years. No problems here. | |
| No-one talks about Rowlands anymore While there are some valid points on cost of said modules, it would seem prudent that judgement was withheld until the newer Rowland gear was actually heard by the OP and others. That would seem only fair to JRDG. | |

| Devor - KEF - Vienna Acoustic – Wilson? @blindjim Hey Jim,I've heard several Prima Luna integrateds: the Prologue Classic and the Dialogue Premium HP. Both are quite good. Check out this thread for tons of comments. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/considering-switching-from-audio... | |
| Digital Music sounds too bright? @hifiman5 Wow, the positivity in here is, well, lovely! Thanks hifiman5.OP - There's lots of good and really good digital, you just have to go find it. | |
| Digital Music sounds too bright? Go to any show and listen to Steve N.' Empirical Audio gear; it is killer good and the word bright or any other synonyms need not apply.I heard a system two weeks ago with Wilson, Nagra, and dCS and it was anything but bright. Just lovely sound... | |
| No-one talks about Rowlands anymore @guidocorona Guido is a big proponent of Rowland. Maybe he'll come in here and discuss. |
