| Anything you liked at the Newport Show? dougmc-Thanks. I have been to an Elac demo before and I think that their speakers sound great. Very amazing for the price. I heard the towers and several of the bookshelf variants and they were all impressive. I also heard them from the doorway fo... | |
| Best current footers for preamps? I use an IKEA butcher block with Maple blocks to elevate my source and it made a nice audible difference for $15. | |
| Anything you liked at the Newport Show? Dougmc,I quote you "Sabrinas were used in the Peachtree room on the 11th floor. Peachtree featured two integrated amps/dacs: one for $1,500 and one for $2,000. The speakers on the lower priced model were the new $500 Elac bookshelf speaker, and... | |
| Anything you liked at the Newport Show? I went this year with checking out certain vendors in mind. In retrospect, I'm not sure it was the best idea, but its done now. I think, for me anyway, this year was much less spectacular. I heard very few systems that did anything for me. But let... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC "Pokey77, ARC GSi75 is using KT150 and 200iq is 100 wpc with KT88 so my guess it can handle a tougher load?? 200iq can roll KT150 and I mentioned to dealer it would be an interesting experiment."Knghifi, let me say, I'm not all that knowledge a... | |
| THE SHOW AT NEWPORT BEACH 2016 I'm two exits away. I may be there Friday but I'll definitely be there Saturday. Just for fun. I like to hear the very high end systems from MBL and others. And maybe just maybe find a new piece of gear to aspire to that won't break the bank.Wish ... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Charles, that was exactly the point I was trying to make about the ARC tube integrated; it makes sense that other tube product should also be able to synergize with the Sabrina's as well. And Knghifi, just as a data point, the presentation with th... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Again as I mentioned before, I heard the Sabrina's with the wonderful ARC GSi75 tube integrated. It was just amazing. That integrated had an iron fist on the speakers and am still thinking about it since I heard the setup six-eight months ago. I'v... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC First off, Al's comments are very informative and much appreciated. Secondly, I only comprehend Al's comments at a layman's understanding.So, with that in mind, I have heard the Sabrina's twice. And both times I was pretty enraptured. The first ti... | |

| Bruce Cockburn - dancing in the dragons claws great listen! While I love Bruce, and he has been my favorite artist for decades, this is one of my least favorite. I have pretty much everything he has released and have seen him many times so am quite familiar with his discography, including the new boxed set... | |
