| Have you ever met another audiogon member in person? I’ve had several members come to my house to listen to my system. Every visit went well. We talked about our different experiences as audiophiles and different equipment. | |
| Anyone Had Extended Listening Experience With MBL? I’ve listened to MBL 101E with a variety of components: Jeff Rowland 725 amps, McIntosh amps, and now they’re connected to PS Audio BHK 300 mono-amps. The MBL preamp was used every time I heard them.. All cables are Wireworld Platinum Series 7. Th... | |
| Not Enough Options for Auditioning Speakers pokey77,". And I've heard some gear, in the next price range up that I would really like to own. When you go to a show it will help you to narrow down the sound you like and then from there you can visit dealers with products you know you had good... | |
| Not Enough Options for Auditioning Speakers A few years ago I attended RMAF and loved my experience. I submit shows can be a good place to get a general feel for the "potential" of a speaker. | |
| Wilson Audio Sasha Mk I So, back to the OP's question. My answer is only your can decide what sounds good to you. If possible try to get a home audition. If not, see if it's possible to take your amp to wherever the speakers are located. | |
| Wilson Audio Sasha Mk I I should add that I'm very lucky to have a very, very good friend that's a dealer. He's different than the guy that sold me the Wilson's. I can listen to components that I want to try in his system or in my own system. That's how I buy components ... | |
| Wilson Audio Sasha Mk I When you're buying stuff to fit in, or be part of a club, as opposed to listening to components with you own ears, it's easy to understand why I started over. I purchased every Wilson speaker without listening to them on the advice of a friend th... | |
| Wilson Audio Sasha Mk I tooblue,Now let me tell you the rest of the story. The Sophia 2s I had developed a small crack a couple months after I purchased them. The Sophia 3s were just coming out and Wilson decided to give me 100% for my Sophia 2s towards Sophia 3s. That w... | |
| Wilson Audio Sasha Mk I I've owned several Wilson speakers: Sophia 2s, 3s, and Sasha 1s. Maybe it was my room or the "system", but Wilson's are fatiguing to "my ears" over the long haul. As already mentioned they are very, very good with dynamics! I've had Aerial, Revel,... | |
| Deciphering Shunyata chronological history for upgrade paths I'm debating between getting the Denali power conditioner or new power cords. I even have a debate about which power cord to get. Is there a significant difference between Sigma and Alpha power cords? Does the Alpha offer more value for the money? | |
| Rowland versus ARC tdimler,You make a good point about ARC preamps and their inability to drive a sub. Al(on Audiogon) told me that before and that’s why I ruled ARC preamps out...I have a JL Audio F112 sub. | |
| Rowland versus ARC I've tried to listen to the PSU, but my local dealer doesn't have one and has no plans of getting one. He seems to prefer the Chord Dave and Berkeley DACs to the Aeris. | |
| Rowland versus ARC gareneau,No, I never tried the PSU. I already sold my Aeris DAC and I'm waiting for the Chord Dave DAC. I'm keeping my Corus for now, so I'll see how I feel after I receive the Dave and have some hours on it. | |
| Rowland versus ARC 4425,I tried the Aeris direct and preferred the sound with the Corus. I sold my Aeris DAC to replace it with the Chord Dave DAC. My plans are to go from the Dave direct into my Rowland 625 S2 amplifier. Just in case I don't like it direct, I'm loo... | |
| Rowland versus ARC I have a Jeff Rowland Corus preamp and I'm looking to replace it with something below 20K. I thought about ARC, but haven't had the chance to compare them. I hear a lot of people say, Rowland makes better amplifiers than preamps. Can anyone recomm... |
