| Open Baffle Experience It is really sad to see more and more dogmatists spoiling this forum, which I thought was meant to create an easy way to exchange our experiences: EXPERIENCES, not theoretical arguments. In case of the open baffle loudspeakers and the voiced criti... | |
| Looking for a London (DECCA) Reference phono cartridge Same here: no response from Avantgarde HK. Meanwhile, I was offered a good-as-new (40 hrs play time) AudioTechnica AT_ART 1000 for $3K: I guess that will be my choice unless someone here tells me :" Oh no, don't do that!!!". | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? I just sold my EMIA SUT. Not that I did not like it: it is a great piece, albeit it make my soundstage a bit more forward; and quite frankly, it was also a bit "bombastic", larger-than-life in a way (interacting with Dave Slagle, however was a won... | |
| Looking for a London (DECCA) Reference phono cartridge Thank you very much for that info. I do indeed have friends in HK. I already contacted Avantgarde. | |
| Sternklang Cables I looked at the XLR cables: where is the ground wire? | |
| Streamer creates a Wow experience I am following this thread with great interest, as I feel finally ready to take the streaming plunge. I already subscribed to Qobuz , Tidal and HDTracks, but am still on the fence about which streamer to buy. My music files are organized on my Mac... | |
| Too many choices for R2R DACS--opinions appreciated I got a MSB DAC (Platinum Signature) from my wife for Christmas: never looked back! Smooth and yet well delineated sound, deep sound stage, great and focused bass, and zero sibilance. The music comes through, and I forget about any gear. Isn't tha... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread Pictures, please! Mick just agreed to have mine painted in Pearl-White to match my speakers: these things should be in a design museum somewhere one day. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Bill Evans Trio :"Sunday at the Village Vanguard", DMM Cutting | |
| DAC Merry Go 'Round- why I stopped at Weiss Thanks for the illuminating DAC comparison. I recently settled for a MSB Platinum Signature and am as happy as a clam. I also visited the factory in Watsonville CA, which is about an hour drive from my home: this was truly the experience of a life... | |
| Amir and Blind Testing Amir and others on this thread are absolutely right: A/B comparisons are notoriously flawed by expectation bias; that's just how our brains work. In my profession (drug discovery) we therefore use "double-blind" evaluations, where the experimenter... | |
| Atma-Sphere vs. Supratek Thanks again for all you enlightening comments: this is a great community. Just to let you know: I revised my order and asked Mick Maloney to build me one of his new Grange preamps with the option to switch between 6NS7 AND DHT circuits, which wil... | |
| Atma-Sphere vs. Supratek Many thanks for all your comments, which were very enlightening indeed. I too had a shiver running down my spine when I saw the innards of the Cortese for the first time. But the many enthusiastic comments about the sound of these creations by "Su... | |
| Best cost no object tube phono Hello there: I came across this thread this morning, after a sleepless night fussing about the "new" Pass Labs XP-25 I installed yesterday into my system. I hope this thread is still alive. My question concerns the XP-25 phono stage, and what I am... |
