| Best speakers with Pass labs X-350.5 I had a similar system once: Pass X350 / Meridian 508.24 /Threshold T3 preamp. Speakers were Aerial 10ts. The sound was sweet & forgiving; the worst recording sounded smooth with no etch or grain. I would consider Aerials. | |
| 50ft lengths of speaker cables,suggestions? Cardas Golden Reference. | |
| Anyone heard the Zu Cable "Druids".... Yes, central Jersey. Thanks. | |
| Apogee Duetta Signature or Mini Grand? Dave, thanks! I appreciate your honest perspective. I did suspect that the Stage re-created vocals like no other reasonably priced speaker (or maybe any speaker). I just remember John Lennon, Louis Armstrong, and Joni Mitchell sounding like they w... | |
| Apogee Duetta Signature or Mini Grand? Sogood, any thoughts on how the VMPS sound compares to the Apogee's? Does it have the magic natural vocals (& midrange in general)? I had the Stages but never heard VMPS. Thanks in advance. | |
| Anyone heard the Zu Cable "Druids".... Where exactly is the demo in Easton? Thanks. | |
| Looking for non-boomy full range speakers The hotel rooms at the NY Home Entertainment shows are small & many of the speakers do not boom, especially the Kharma 3.2FEs (which I own after suffering with boom from other speakers). They have extremely controlled & equally satisfying ... | |
| Apogee Duetta Signature or Mini Grand? I had the Stage with no stands or subs & thought it is wonderful on its own. It produces the most natural vocals you will ever hear, but it is not a very revealing speaker. But it is what it is, & does it's own thing with no apologies. It ... | |
| It's the middle of summer and I need a... Edge amps are cool & smooth. I once used one with some VSR speakers some time ago & it worked well, better than my hot Pass X amp. I still use the Edge. | |
| EMM DCC2 vs Hi End Preamps As a practical matter, the extra $$ spent on a separate preamp must be added to an extra pair of interconnects + an extra power cable. That could really add up. Unless money is no object, those dollars could be deployed on upgrading existing cabli... | |
| Transparent , Kubala , Luminous , or RS Poiema I find the Kubala Emotion cables awesome on my 2 headphone systems (Stax Omega/007t & Sennheiser 650/Headroom Max). I did an A/B comparison with Cardas (G. Ref & G. Crosses) and PAD Audio Dominus (B) & the Kubalas left them all in the ... | |
| correct way to turn off tube preamp Raquel, I enjoyed your comprehensive response, & 1 question, please. I suppose this 24x7-on approach would apply to my 2 Stax headphone amps? If there are any Stax owners out there, any thoughts? Thanks. | |
| Speaker question regarding Kharma/Sonus faber . CORRECTION: It was the Amati Homage I heard, not the Strads. I read the question too fast.Sorry for the misinformation. | |
| Speaker question regarding Kharma/Sonus faber . Well, I only heard each for a short time: the SFs at Innovative audio in NY & the big Kharmas at GTT, but here goes...The SF has nice purity, but just sounded weak & thin overall. They just seem to be holding back too much. It was pleasant... | |
| What is the best value you have encountered? Apogee Stage speakers. I bought a pair in 1995 new for $2,500 & although I no longer have them they still do wonderful things I have not heard since. |
