| Recommendations for upgrade from 5.1 to 7.1 Indeed these Duntechs look huge and dominating in that room but as they sound awesome, very detailed with great imaging, wide and deep sound stage and above all, brings out the emotions, it is very hard to part with them. I could contemplate switc... | |
| Krell Showcase 7.1 VS Classe SSP 60 Can you please elaborate on the choice on the Showcase? I am thinking about upgrading my old Krell HTS to a 7.1 processor | |
| Recommendations for 5k upgrade Douglas, I am already using the NordOst Silver Shadow from the EE Plus as indicated in my OP. Which brand/model would you suggest as an upgrade (Valhalla or the Transparent Reference are, budget wise, not an option for now). As I am pleased with t... | |
| Recommendations for 5k upgrade Douglas, mea culpa, I have the EE MiniMax Plus all along, I had both the standard version and the newer version, preferring the improved sound of the latter.I have now upgraded all existing PC to Audience powerChords and am pretty happy about that... | |
| Recommendations for 5k upgrade Thanks for the continued comments and suggestions which I have taken to heart.Here is my action plan:IC: (after rereading the many comments on the Gon) upgraded to Valhallas and got what I expected: much more detail, better imaging...a sizeable st... | |
| Recommendations for 5k upgrade To prospective sellers: please refrain from contacting me directly to sell me (your) goods, as some of you have tried, it will only raise my alertness and consequently my discontent. I am considering those messages to Audiogon, maybe they will lan... | |
| Recommendations for 5k upgrade Onhwy61, sorry if my quest misled you. In general, I wanted to take this already great sounding system to the next level -which is what I put on the last lines- w/o breaking the piggy bank. E.g. when I had, IMO, a good system a while back with the... | |
| Recommendations for Speakers that sound like Snell Johnss: can you please elaborate on your findings on the Revel vs Snells you had (which models)? | |
| Conrard-Johnson CT5 tube rolling? Vhiner: Sorry for responding late as I didnt browse the forum on a regular basis.Tube dampening: the original rings do a great job but Herbie's tube dampener add a bit more focus, at $10 a pop, they are worth a tryTube rolling: the DR versions are... | |
| Recommendations for 5k upgrade First of all, sorry for double posting (I will ask Audiogon to remove this thread as my first one "hung" in their system for a day so I retried). Please response to the other post with the same question.Arh: I am not lacking detail, on the contrar... | |
| Recommendations for 5k upgrade Thanks all for the great suggestions and nice comments! Source: Since I am focusing on playing FLAC files (still have to restrain myself from getting a TT -not talking about an Audi- as I know the total cost will soon exceed the cost of a new sub/... | |
| Nordost Baldur vs Red Dawn Bob,for your great sounding amps I would recommend Heimdall and upwards in the Norse line, benefiting from NordOst's Micro Mono-Filament technology. The Heimdall is pretty balanced and is way better than RD. Havent heard the Series 2 though.I star... | |
| What is my weak est link...? Suggestions please. The Adcom 5800 compares pale vs a pair of 565 mono blocks if you want to stay loyal to Adcom as a brand; staying loyal to Nelson Pass is certainly a good choice going Pass Labs. Cables and good power conditioning and cheap tweaking (read the zillo... | |
| What, if any, component to upgrade? Advice? My focus is on the source side so anything to improve that is should be more important than downstream (unless you have a weak link, like the absence of a DAC in your case). Clean sound comes from clean power/signal and what you hear should not be... | |
| Recommendations for Speakers that sound like Snell I second that the A's (esp the A/III) are excellent value for the money (when bought used now) and reluctantly parted with my A/IIs but only did that when I had the B Minors in lieu. Tried the many better looking brands and now am content with the... |
