| Solid State Preamp Under $8000 How about the Merrill Christine pre? Have heard it in a friends system and this review was spot on:https://positive-feedback.com/reviews/hardware-reviews/christine-preamplifier-merrill-audio/There’s one FS on Agon at below your budget, something t... | |
| why so many gryphon diablo 300 integrated for sale now? Never owned one or even heard one for that matter, did hear the big Gryphon system at Axpona this year and mighty impressed but as of today 4/21 there are 4 Diablo 300's for sale on Agon. | |
| If you loved the Bricasti Design room at Axpona take a look at the M15 amplifier Agree the Bricasti room was tonality spot on, one of my top 3 or 4 rooms. If you just walked in you would not have been wowed but if you sat down for 10 minutes you knew it was special. I think it is the Bricasti DAC’s. | |
| What was your favorite speaker at Axpona 2019 From all the posts from Axpona we all hear things differently which is a good thing. I personally loved the Sanders speakers, to me the top end was anything but bright as per @josh358 comment. It was very smooth and extended is what I heard. I lov... | |
| The Harbeth phenomenon Harbeth = boxy sound IMO. Not for me. | |
| Audio Doctor goes to Axpona observations so far Anyone hear the Tri-Art Audio speaker open baffle made of bamboo? I was impressed. | |
| Audio Doctor goes to Axpona observations so far Agree the new PS Audio speakers did not impress. Again the Paradigm Persona 3F were just ok if they were a $2500 speaker. Would have thought with the room correction it would have been much better. | |
| Axpona 2019 Heard the BLOCK room. It was ok but why showcase those behemoth amps with a minimonitor? Lost opportunity for BLOCK | |
| Another help me spend money thread or maybe not.... going to AXPONA @hughp3 did you get a chance to hear the Sanders? Your thoughts? | |

| Organic, musical and natural sounding speakers up to $12K Another vote for the Sanders 10e | |
| Paradigm Persona series OK just heard the Persona 3f at Axpona and nice midrange and top end BUT bass was muddy and not much definition this even with room correction. Yes it was in hotel room but didn't do anything for me. | |
| Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9 Have several friends who own Spendors and always found them lacking that midrange fullness and just to hot on top. Just not my flavor in a speaker YMMV. | |
| Phono stage recommendations Personally I've had both the JC3 and JC3+ phono stages and never thought they were anything specialNow use either a GN PH10 or NVO tube phono stage GN is very versatile. Have never heard the p-x5e so can't comment. | |
| Supratek or Don Sachs - which way to go? Agree with @steakster have always admired Ralph with his very insightful posts but I think he took this thread too far in the wrong direction. |
