| Vapor Audio - Dagogo- Nimbus White speaker review As someone who has now heard both the Nimbus Black and the White, I can report that they both sound fabulous. Not having them side-by-side and listening to them over a month apart, I cannot give much account of the differences. I can say that I wa... | |
| KEF LS50 How big is the room? What kind of volumes are we looking at? At first blush, I think 50W might be a bit low for these monitors. | |
| Best beer Yeah, Hopslam is in a different league than 2 Hearted. But it is certainly getting harder to find.For other beers in that neighborhood, look for Sixpoint Hi-Res or Dark Horse Double Crooked Tree. | |
| I have just bought a used Well Tempered Classic Get a refund. | |
| What turntable next? I am a huge fan of my Townshend Rock 7, which I have paired with a Moerch DP-8 arm. Great stuff. Robert Greene's reviews capture the sound of these nicely. | |
| Speakers First? While I very much appreciate John and Charles thoughtful input in their posts on this forum, consider this another vote in the speaker camp. Not that amp speaker synergy shouldn't be a consideration, and the appeal of the SET sound they love is co... | |
| Linn Basik LVX vs. Rega RB 303 You might also want to consider a modded Rega. I really liked the Audiomods arm that replaced my Rega 301. Extensively modified. You can get a modded arm, or a kit to mod it yourself. Or get the Rega now, then buy an upgrade kit or have it upgrade... | |
| Vinyl ratings for audiophiles Steve Hoffman Forum is a superb resource on vinyl pressings. The community there is very knowledgeable and can speak to how well recorded an LP is, as well as which versions to seek out and, just as important, which to avoid (a tip: Learn to spot ... | |
| Origin live encounter/illustrious vs Morch UP-4? You may also be able to get a good trade-in deal on the UP-4 if you upgrade to a DP-6 with Mehran at Sorasound. | |
| PS Audio Humbuster 3 or equivalent wanted Van Alstine sells something like this. For less than the PS Audio's price. Think it is called something like Humdinger. | |
| ZYX R100 Yatra Note that Jack Roberts' review is of the gold, which I would think will lead to the softest, least exciting sound. Most folks seem to prefer the Silver or Copper 4Ds IIRC. | |
| Who did hear the new Pass Labs .8 series amps? Apologies, I saw that you said you'd sold a Pass to a client and assumed you were a dealer. Think I confused you with someone else who was not revealing being a dealer when endorsing gear he sold. Sorry about that. Shouldn't have posted so hastily. | |
| Who did hear the new Pass Labs .8 series amps? Bo1972, Funny you ask the question "And sold by who?" above. Because, IIRC you are a Pass dealer. That might be worth mentioning at the bottom of your posts when commenting in these forums. One often sees "dealer disclaimer" at the bottom of a pos... | |
| Dragonfly 1.2 Feedback/Impressions ? iFi also has the recently released iDSD, again if you are OK with a larger sized DAC. Its list price is $189. Not sure about the iDAC, but the iDSD can even be used with an iPhone or certain Android phones with the proper adaptor. But IIRC, the Dr... | |
| $5k Upgrade If you are referring to reviews of the Rock 7 with the Rega 301 arm, note that this is a quite modest arm. The Rock certainly benefits from a better arm which distances it further from the Amadeus. And arm switching gives you a further upgrade pat... |
