| Clarus Crimson - Dealers? As you know I have Clarus Crimson speaker cables. I prefer the Clarus over several speaker cables that I've heard in my system. I wouldn't use the word "better", but "preferred" based on my system and my preferences. No absolutes in Audio, only pr... | |
| Speaker upgrade question - Wilson vs Focal "Excellent drivers, beautiful cabinets, so apart from the cost what is there to dislike about Wilson speakers?" It isn't about disliking, it's preference. Some will prefer Wilson's over Focal and others will prefer Focal over Wilson. | |
| Why do contributors delete their own posts? I've deleted several threads. I create a thread when I'm looking for component suggestions to listen to or when I think it will benefit the Audiogon community as a whole. When my thread turns into senseless arguing in lieu of stating opinions and ... | |
| Home Demo Faceoff: Nordost / Audioquest / Transparent I had AQ Firebird Zero a month ago for a home audition. Despite the cost of the Firebird, I found the Clarus Crimson to be a better fit in my system. The Firebird was ever so slightly cleaner, but the Crimson has better separation, bass, and overa... | |
| Why is the high end stratospheric? Why is the high end stratospheric? It's my understanding that many in the audio industry believe that some audiophiles don't/won't take a component seriously unless it's at a certain price point. When we routinely talk about $30-$40K speakers, amp... | |

After many mistakes purchasing equipment based on others opinions, including reading magazines, I realized this hobby is about how much I want to spend and my preferences.

| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. Just to put it into perspective, I compared the $14K Audioquest FireBird Zero to the Clarus Crimson and overall preferred the Clarus. My wife and I actually listened to it with our own ears. If price was the only criteria I would have preferred th... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. nyev," I've yet to read a single review, from a forum poster or pro reviewer, who had anything bad to say about the Clarus Crimson." I don't have anything bad to say about them either. I have a decent system that I've posted on Audiogon and have ... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. nyev,Is the price they quoted for an eight foot pair? I would never recommend anyone purchasing any cable without hearing it in their system, unless there was a 30 day money back guarantee. | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. " I am going to be patient with cables and invest time to test carefully, including well-reviewed cables that are less expensive like the Clarus. I'm also thinking it may make sense to wait until my streamer finally arrives (it is back-ordered)... | |
