| I finally purchased a new Integrated Amp I have the 550 ax2 with 93db tannoys... 595 popped up for upgrade but I (very shallow) would miss the dancing meters..... | |
| Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed? I would suggest those incisive speakers and amp will negate DAC change. It is always happening that pursuit for clarity where suddenly the musicality seems to have gone and you spend listening time finding the faults rather than enjoying the music... | |
| top loading cd players The project rs2 disc transport is an audiophile cheap (relative) gem especially when using the seperate linear power supplies | |
| Recommendation all-rounded speaker (small room) Late to the game.... I have had harbeth and others in the past. If going valve a small ls3 like falcon ls3/5 they have a 15ohm speaker which my Leben 18w loved. Harbeth need a bit of oomph to drive. A great option if changing amp is to get a power... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Fel kuti - gentleman 1973 Fela kuti - rofororo fight 1972 Both albums given to me on my 50th by seperate friends. | |
| Dust cover up or down? My rega RP8 has a surround support and dust cover... After 3 years I removed everything bar the Skeleton inner. Sounds much better... So was looking for large perspex cover for dust protection when not used... But just ordered a michell uni which ... | |
| First impressions of the Isoacoustic Gaia 1’s I have them under tannoy Ardens.... As you amazed by difference. Bass seems much deeper and loudspeaker seems to respond better... Less smudging of transients... Also even loud there is not even a tremble underfoot... Neighbours happier | |
| Best custom photo acoustic panels I use GIF acoustic panel. Didn’t fancy family or landscape or bits of musical instruments so chose 3 images from a shoot in rwanda My happy place | |
| Tannoy Everyone?! with Leben CS600 or Pass XA25/30.5? And I'm very happy with luxman.... Think the tannoys give some of that accuphase style themselves so the combo may be too warm. But also to e Controls on amp and crossover tone control on speakers can tweak. Saying that I tried but prefer flat on ... | |
| Tannoy Everyone?! with Leben CS600 or Pass XA25/30.5? There are some 590 on the ex demo side that would be in budget but was always curious of first watt myself but more expensive in UK | |
| Tannoy Everyone?! with Leben CS600 or Pass XA25/30.5? I'm surprised the leben not cutting it... I have the luxman class a 550ax2 with only 25watts and my ardens are more than happy... I tried my cs300xs before but the 18w on that was a bit uncontrolled on the bass..... The luxman 590 would be great... | |
| Speaker positioning: why do audiophiles neglect this so much? Not sure why @mahgister is trolling... I said I used the cardas method and then experimented from that. I use Acoustic treatment to improve sound. My speakers are placed on isoacoustic feet to further improve bass and imaging... I'm happy that a ... | |
| The panic selling of tube audio had begun. Everybody should get rid of their tube gear.... I can pay $1000 for your audio research 160monoblocks .... Incl shipping... 😁 Happy to help | |
| Speaker positioning: why do audiophiles neglect this so much? The cardas system of speaker placement worked great for my tannoy.. Room biggish for UK 7mx5m and 3.5m tall. Used absorbtion rear and side, scatter panels side and bass corner traps. Thick carpets between speaker and sofa... I'm pretty happy | |
| Most beautiful turntable under $5k Mitchel gyro was so pretty... Mesmerised when I first saw one |
