| Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West? @attila7 Most people think a stand alone DAC is better but I think it depends on the level of the component the DAC is in. The DAC in my Boulder 866 is fantastic. The one thing the stand alone does is let you try different ones until you find on... | |
| My Major System Upgrades in 2022 and Impact of Each @nyev I highly recommend a consultation from Jeff at HDacoustics. He is very good and would point you in the right direction. Duke Lejune (I hope I spelled it right ) of Audiokinesis recommended him to design my rooom and it turned out fantastic... | |
| My Major System Upgrades in 2022 and Impact of Each Nice posts urbie. I don’t see your system listed. Perhaps you are jealous of the excellent systems Nyev and gjohns have? | |
| Boulder 866 vs Gryphon Diablo 300 @wheelndeal1099 The Boulder 866 is a neutral amp so if you heard it with magico speakers I can see how it may be fatiguing. It sounds superb with my Rockport Avior ii speakers though. The internal DAC is fantastic as well. Happy listening! R... | |
| Speaker Placement and Toe-In I’ve read and use in my system a triangle ratio of tweeter to tweeter =1 and tweeter to ear should be about 1.2. Sounded better than an equilateral triangle. No toe in for me either. Cheers! | |
| Bowers and Wilkins, 801 D4 I also thought the B&W sounded great at Axpona but it would be well worth your time to audition the Rockport Avior ii as well. Superb build quality and amazing sound. You will have a new front runner. Good luck! Ron | |
| Recommendation on speakers for listening to live music +1 gerrie ! 😂😂 | |
| Pair of Rel S510’s or Carbon Special’s? @nyev I saw your post about listening to other high end speakers. Did your listen to any Rockport speakers ? I understand they pair extremely well with your Diablo 300. | |
| Pair of Rel S510’s or Carbon Special’s? @nyev The reason subs next to the speakers may or may not work is the wavelength of say a fifty hertz note is much longer than the higher frequency notes so given the average room size you won’t even hear the note until it has bounced off a wall... | |
| How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music? I graduated high school in 1982. Love 80s music. The energy of the hair bands was amazing. I also enjoy music from the 60s,70s,90s and 2000s. I don’t know how a person could only like one or two genres. Happy listening ! | |
| What Power Cords for Rel S510 Subs? @nyev What other speaker brands did you audition before you bought your B&W s? | |
| Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ? @esarhaddon What places have you visited in Denver ? Soundings Fine Audio and Crescendo both are high end and have very knowledgeable sales people. | |
| Kanta No.1 vs Olympica Nova 1? We have all focal speakers in our home theatre. Kanta 3 mains Kanta center channel and Kanta 1 surrounds. I think you would be very happy with the Kanta 1s. The beryllium tweeter is not too bright with our MC 8207 amp. Definitely give them a liste... | |
| Bookshelf speakers on a bookshelf (Sad) @mduffy18d Focal makes some wall mount speakers that sounded fantastic at Axpona. Maybe they could work for you. Good luck ! | |
| What Is Most Important? The ROOM and closing your eyes when listening to rid all distractions. |
