| Stillpoints Aperture or Synergistic UEF panels Which one? I've never used any Synergistic products but use 4 Stillpoints Apertures behind the listening position. They are wonderful! They don't make the room too dead or too reflective...just right. I have had them for 4 years so not sure which version ... | |
| Tara Labs Muse or Nordost Valhalla 2 @kimurastanleyI have to disagree with audiolabyrinth's post. The original Valhallas can definitely be bright on some systems but not Valhalla 2. I have Valhalla 2 power cords and speaker cables with YG Carmel 2 speakers (which can be very reveal... | |
| A queston of Classe', or other amps I've owned several Classe amps but never the monos. A good friend just bought a CA-2300 on the used market and absolutely loves it. 300 wpc stereo amp that runs cool to very light warm. I see one on Agon now listed for 3499.00....That's where I... | |
| Innuos - New Re-Clocker @thynameThank you for your report on the Phoenix in your system. So did you use an aftermarket PC, footers and a high quality USB cable or did you keep it basic for the demo? Can you elaborate more on what you heard?I might have to re think my s... | |
| Yg carmel 2 owners I bought a pair around a year ago and just love them. Very detailed, great soundstage, refined etc... As far as deep bass goes, there is none. If you look at Stereophile's measurements, they are flat down to 50hz, down 5db @ 40hz and down 10db @... | |
| PROAC D48R Bass Booming I had Proac Response 5's and D30 R's and had similar problems with too much bass and my room was much bigger than yours. The two things I did that helped were 1, run the speaker cables to the top binding posts (of the speaker) and jump the bottom... | |
| Innuos - New Re-Clocker @thynameI agree with you. And someone with a less costly server might benefit from from adding the Phoenix and make more sense/cents. For me the total cost each way (my ZENith mk2 SE + Phoenix vs Statement) is too close.As far as availability, I... | |
| Innuos - New Re-Clocker How I did the math.....I have a ZENith mk2 SE (4TB) that retailed for $9k. The Phoenix Reclocker retails for $3150.00. The Phoenix would require an additional power cord + footers + another USB cable. Let's say you spend $1.5k on the additional... | |
| Amps for Proac D48R Around 10 years ago I had a pair of Proac Response 5's, BAT VK 50se, BAT VK 500 and Nordost Valhalla cables. Neutral preamp, warm amp, lean detailed cables.....the bass was deep and controlled and overall sound was very good. | |
| Innuos - New Re-Clocker @spookyfoot Thank you for your thoughts on the Phoenix reclocker. I have an Innuos ZENith mk2 SE and have been considering the Statement or adding the Phoenix to my mk2 SE. After doing the math ie... cost of the ZENith mk2 SE + Phoenix + an add... | |
| Extravagant shipping charge +1 lowrider57It's not just about size and weight....insurance (the item's value) could be a big part of the total cost. | |
| Mola Mola Makua and Kartugas or Preamp and Merrill Veritas? I own the Makua preamp/DAC and absolutely love it. I have it paired with a Simaudio 870a amp (Class A/B). The detailed, neutral sound of the Makua paired with the warm, refined sound of the Simaudio amp is a wonderful match. If you read the rev... | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k I would also recommend a Simaudio amp. I have the 870A (300wpc) but you could probably get a 860A (200wpc) on the used market for around 7k. They are very refined, great bass, smooth yet detailed top end....also runs cool , so kid friendly. | |
| which to buy? Aurendern N100H vs Innuos Zen MK II I owned the Aurender N100h for 3 years then upgraded to the Innuos Zenith mk2 SE. As far as operating and ripping CD's there's no comparison. The Zenith is way easier to use. Everything with the Innuos is automatic, but with the Aurender it's a... | |
| Tammy Holt ......She's what holds it all together.......Never gives up And I thought it was just me she was being so nice and helpful to, but I guess it's everybody.....my feelings are hurt. |
