| 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... | |
| Austin Texas area Audio folks? I live in Cibolo, TX. | |
| Lesson Learned Sometimes I feel like "we" are partly responsible for hyping the differences between components. As I mature in this hobby, I'm trying hard to identify differences without exaggerating them. After all, small improvements can equate to thousands of... | |
| B&W D3 vs. Monitor Audio Platinum II auxinput,I really enjoy them, but one man's medicine is another man's poison! We have a crazy, crazy hobby! | |
| B&W D3 vs. Monitor Audio Platinum II I own Monitor Audio PL500 IIs, after owning Wilson Audio Sophia 2s, 3s, Sasha Is, Revel F52s, Revel F208s, Aerial 7Ts, and many more. To "my" ears the PL500 IIs are the most chameleon like speakers I've ever owned. They provide what the recording ... | |
| Lesson Learned bigkidz,I'm 100% positive the dealer was the only one of the four that actually heard the Jeff Rowland 625 S2. That shouldn't surprise anyone. I would guess that upwards of 75%, give or take a few percentage points, have never listened to the comp... | |
| Lesson Learned I agree that we are limited to what we have access to. I'm lucky to have a very good friend that happens to be a dealer. That being said, he doesn't carry much of what I prefer, but it still gives me an opportunity to hear a lot more gear that mos... | |
| Lesson Learned G.You would be right to post: I TOLD YOU DON'T DO IT OR I TOLD YOU SO! I really appreciate all of your advice, but it's reassuring to hear something and let your own ears determine the outcome. I'm looking at a few options regarding power cords an... |
