| Bel Canto DAC/Rotel 1072 question There's one listed on flea-bay right now for $450. I've seen them go on this site for $250-$350. If you liked it before, it's worth at least getting an estimate on the repair.Of course if you're in the mood (and have the scratch) to buy a new tran... | |
| Bel Canto DAC/Rotel 1072 question Repair the Rotel 1072 first, then make this judgement. You'll need to repair it to sell it anyway, those CD players are fairly popular on this site and I am sure it could fetch a decent price. I actually have the RB-1080 amp that matches your CD p... | |
| RMAF - Loudspeakers that you don't want to miss For the last two years I think Nordost has demo'd with Raidho speakers on the mezzanine. Amazing sound. There is always an Ayon rig that is not to be missed. I also always seek out any and all Dynaudio rigs, some years they have had Confidence lin... | |
| Anyone going to the Rocky Mountain Audio show?? I'm going. This is my 4th or 5th year. Be sure to check out the .xls spreadsheet of all the gear being shown and which room it's in. Available on their website at the bottom of the first "products" page.Don't eat at the mexican joint across the st... | |
| Anyone going to RMAF this year? SingleEnded - the RMAF website should have an Excel spreadsheet you can download with a list of distributors. I am buried at work or I'd be all over it by now. | |
| Anyone going to RMAF this year? I scheduled this weekend with the boss months ago. I'll be there Fri-Sun. Planning to check out all the tube integrates and high efficiency speakers I can find. Currently running solid state gear, but fascinated with tubes. My checking account how... | |
| Quad 22L2 I know I'm jumping in late, but I have these speakers and love them, I paid $800 for them quite a while ago, just after they went out of production. I find their tone pretty neutral, and I think the highs are much softened compared to the metal do... | |
| Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage One last update. I went to Gold Sound in Littleton, and the owner treated me really well. We auditioned Wild Beasts' "Palace" and Peter Gabriel's "Don't give up" on three systems using Focal Aria 926 floorstanders, Cambridge Audio ICs and Kimber K... | |
| Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage Thanks, I'll check him out! | |
| Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage Thanks Atmasphere. I was considering Focal's new Aria 926 (entry level floorstander) as a replacement for my Quad's, I'd always heard Focal's products were super efficient, but this is what I found on their site:Sensitivity 2.83v/1m 91.5dBImpedanc... | |
| Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage A bit of an update my my Quad 22L2's specs, I find the manufacturer's information lacking and went hunting on the internet, there seems to be a consensus to the following:Sensitivity: 89 db/1 W/1 m Nominal impedance: 6 ohms Impedance peaks: 60-70 ... | |
| Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage Well Saki maybe I should take a wall down. That has a very low WAF, I can guarantee you...I've already brought it up a couple of times...the previous owner finished out the basement in a a very inefficient way. He put the bathroom right in the mid... | |
| Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage Minorl - a few quick ones that are in constant rotation on my system, I doubt many here have heard of these artists (mostly ambient and IDM here, be warned):"Tesseract Redux" from Coppice Halifax's Outward residence"Devil and the Deed" from Yeasay... | |
| Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage Atmasphere, The right speaker was out of place because of several re-alignments due to impromptu visits from friends, auditioning Sky ICs vs my current King Cobras. I re-positioned the speakers last Sat night, using a tape measure from the seating... | |
| Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage Bobnegi, my listening position is placed per goldern triangle, and don't tell me to settle down, I'll spend my money how I like. |
