| Schiit not shipping It seems that more and more folk are preferring the Saga over the Freya due to it's transparency. Some audio industry heavyweights with VERY high end systems have been seen using the Saga. Unless you need the extra gain of the Freya, I'd suggest p... | |
| A Budget Amp Comparison +1 for A/B class Odyssey amps. I’ve tried lots of budget amps (Van Alstine, Parasound Halo, etc) and Klaus’ amps blew the others away, and run very cool. I have the Stratos, which cost me $500 second hand. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Anyone in Southern California have Electrons or Double Impacts? Lunch and beers are on me if I can get a quick demo of these monster speakers. Drop me a line at skystudiosmusic@gmail.com - cheers! | |
| Can anyone recommend a great tube preamp that also has a headphone out? Why not consider a hybrid integrated? I already have a high-end solid state power amplifier that I love. Thanks for the suggestions so far. The Manley preamp is looking mighty fine. | |
| Dynavector 20x2 vs Audio Technica ART-9. "Why does one ask another what one is considering as their frame of reference?"Perhaps one would like to hear the opinions of others that have heard both carts. So would one refrain from posting snarky comments? Thanks. | |
| Dynavector 20x2 vs Audio Technica ART-9. Thanks for the info!My phono preamp is an Avid Pulsus, so good quality and capable of the volume range you mentioned.The ART-7 might be too polite for harder hitting genres, being a cart I mostly see recommended for acoustic jazz and classical. | |
| Anyone here in the San Fernando Valley area of LA? Thanks for the tip, bdp24 - I'll check it out. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts "Actually it's the opposite of a blind date. She lives with you in your house for 60 days. You don't like her, send her back home. No strings attached."Except perhaps footing the bill for shipping both ways of these huge beasts. So buying them bli... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Anyone in the Los Angeles area have Double Impacts? I have Tekton Lores and would love to hear what an upgrade would sound like.I don't think Tekton use dealers so there aren't often ways to audition them? | |
| Would "Sgt. Pepper's" be a better album if..... Agree with the guy above. Within You Without You is one of my favorite Beatles songs. George Harrison was a highly original songwriter. Fixing a Hole and She’s Leaving Home also run close favorites from this particular album.At least Yellow Submar... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Do folk here know of anywhere in the Los Angeles area the DI can be auditioned? I currently own Tekton's Lore speakers. Thanks! | |
| Schiit Vidar.... Anyone heard one yet? I live close to Schiit’s brick and mortar store here in Southern California. I’ve not heard the Vidar, but the salesman there said it sounds identical to the speaker taps 60W output from the back of the (more expensive) Ragnarok headphone amp. I’v... | |
| PranaFidelity speakers, what say you? Steven still sells the Fifty90 bookshelves which are extremely similar to the $5000 Bhavas (minus the made in the USA cabinet and a few minor upgrades) for $4000 which I think is at least getting closer to the word bargain. The price of his floors... | |
| PranaFidelity speakers, what say you? So - anyone here actually own a pair? It's a shame they're not yet often seen in the wild.I did find one thing odd at the LA Audio show. Steven was running 89.5db efficient speakers with his own solid state 400wpc @ 8ohms power amp. With this type... | |
| What are the top 3 USB cables being used today in reference systems? I bet folk here who are recommending these ridiculously priced cables wouldn’t be able to tell the difference from a $5 one in a double blind test. It’s a sham IMO, but if it makes people happy to believe...One advantage would be the expensive cab... |
