| Eggleston Works Andra II speakers as forever speakers. At a good used price for sure! It is an excellent speaker built with high quality Dynaudio parts. The design will play very loud without distortion - a very realistic presentation. The bass is too strong and resonant like most Wilson designs but t... | |
| Which amplifier (integrated) would you recommend for Monitor Audio PL speakers Not sure how you can fix the ribbon tweeter. Ribbons suffer from compression and distortion as you increase SPL. True to form for that style transducer, the ribbon appears to be severely distorting and compressing at modest levels.http://www.sound... | |
| Directionality of wire +1 Almarg...a voice of reason in an ocean of purveyors of fanciful misinformation | |
| Journey ending speakers Discovered ATC 23 years ago. Only upgraded to the bigger models over the years...absolutely no reason to change even though I keep hoping someone will make better speaker... | |
| Is Classe AUdio no longer??? LOLMy DAC and preamp is made in New York. My power amp and speakers are made in UK.Chinese manufacturing has a achieved a well deserved reputation!!! | |
| Directionality of wire @ivan_nosnibor I don’t deny truth. However, before attaching strong beliefs to unsubstantiated claims I require something more solid than conjecture. This is why man-made global warming remains a remote and infinitesimally small possibility to me... | |
| Directionality of wire "Not everything can be measured"Exactly. Whatever experience that can be measured repeatedly and independently becomes accepted verifiable fact. What cannot or has not been successfully measured repeatedly and independently is in the realm of conj... | |
| Directionality of wire @almarg Sorry to see that common sense is all but absent on Audiogon because of those who work so hard to maintain and propagate myths.The onus is on those with wild claims to prove via repeatable measurements that their weird and uniquely bizarre... | |
| Directionality of wire @jea48 The speaker transducer moves forward and backward according to EMF acting on the voice coil - see Faraday’s law and Maxwells equations - so both +ve and -ve current direction along the speaker wire causes transducer movement.A wire with dir... | |
| What sounds best: Vinyl or CDs @mikelavigne I am not a classically trained musician so I really enjoy the narrative that Zander includes on some of his Mahler interpretations. He talks a bit about fourths, fifths and diminished and augmented chords. As a drummer (non musician L... | |
| Perfect CD to test Equipment I wonder how it compares to the long time reference Sheffield Labs Drum Record but nobody seems to recall this reference from over 40 years ago | |
| B&W 600i speaker sounds weird.. You probably burnt the voice coil. It needs a replacement woofer or re-coning but at that price point you might as well just replace the speakers.... | |
| What sounds best: Vinyl or CDs Mike,I agree - "very best vinyl" is when it all comes together - pristine wax and a great setup - and I can only comment based on what I have heard which won't be anything close to SOTA vinyl.Red Hot Chili Peppers usually sounds better on Vinyl be... | |
| What sounds best: Vinyl or CDs I have found that Benchmark DAC 3 sounds like the best I ever heard from vinyl without all the limitations of Vinyl (pops, clicks, hiss) - out of the box and with no Singer SU-1 or any other treatments. I was surprised about the not so subtle impr... | |
| Has Rel fallen out of favor with audiophiles? Dave,You have an amazing system and I agree that used together in stereo the REL subs will have enough SPL so I stand corrected by you. However, why buy 2 REL when 1 JL can do the job and even better.... |
