| Do I have to spend $4000 plus to get a better sounding speaker than GET model 7 ? Yes you do have to spend much more. Basically mid to entry level tower speakers can be pretty good and you are soon reach diminishing returns. I could never be happy with GET 7 but since it works for you for 3 years I don't think you will find muc... | |
| Devor - KEF - Vienna Acoustic – Wilson? Blade or Wilson gets my vote. Sound wise - do you like British or American? Wilson have big bold warm bass hump or resonance whereas Blade will be tight precise and flat in the bass. Both have good mid range which is the first thing I would consid... | |
| Wilsons are the best speakers in the world Wilson make excellent speakers with extremely high quality build and finishes. They are widely available. A sort of Rolex of audio. They sound excellent and although they may not be of great value they are solid well built and keep their resale va... | |

| Most Important, Unloved Cable... @knownothing Absolutely agree with you that there are many possible sources of contamination of the audio signal. Designers need to worry about and test for a variety of configurations to ensure noise or any form of contamination/distortion never ... | |

| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! @jaybe I meant no offence. Just making an observation. Have a good day. | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... @knownothing Yes of course any differences with digital ethernet cables might be related to a failure of the audio component to screen out interference. It doesn’t really matter how the exact source of contamination or corruption of the audio sign... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! @jaybe I saw electrical ties used to anchor large caps and a lot of heavy parts soldered together on their legs rather than mounted neatly on boards and anchored with clips. I would think this build would be fragile and not easily to be entrusted ... | |
| Question for cable/wire naysayers..... I felt this thread was trolling but it seems to have life. Good to see some healthy skeptics providing balance to the tin foilers who think the Holy Grail in audio are interconnects and speaker wire.It is obvious that excellent audio equipment des... | |
| Subwoofer advice please @willemj Subwoofers are hard to do well and 8 inch woofers are rather small for that application. Room modes are certainly part of the usual problem. If you have a chance - try a JL subwoofer before buying another PV1D - you may find it integrates... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! Oh dear. Another failure might begin to suggest a possible design fault. This thread got me interested in the build quality and I have watched online videos showing how the inside is built. I would call it scary. Sorry but I don't much like the wa... | |

| External DAC Benchmark DAC 3 is excellent - exceptional measured performance. | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... @geoffkait I don’t recall ever seeing you apologize. And you probably hold the record on audiogon for belittling folks and calling them sarcastic names. Your standard tactic being to insult the person rather than address the points in a discussion... |
