| greeting ,some advice from the masters please.. I'll put forth my usual suspects - based on somewhat similar listening conditions and your price point.Reference 3A de Capo monitorsAcoustic Zen Adagio floorstandersThe ProAcs will also always be a standbyAs will, truthfully, Maggie 1.7's. You MF... | |
| Reference 3A or Mark & Daniel or... I loved my de Capo BE's for about three years until we moved to a bigger space. I replaced them with AZ Adagios. However, I really didn't have to; the de Capos throw a HUGE soundstage and they resolve in a way that's detailed without being clinica... | |
| Acarian Alon II verse Triangle Celeus 202? Triangles are much easier on the eye compared to the Acarians, if that matters much to you at all. | |
| Jolida FX Tube DAC Hey all,I'm resurrecting this thread before I get in touch with Jolida to see if anyone else can help me with it. I have a new FX Tube DAC III and tried out the USB/toslink connection from my MacBook pro the other night. However, though I configur... | |
| Acarian Alon II verse Triangle Celeus 202? I've owned a variety of Triangles over the years - Celius, Zerius, and Titus. They've all out-performed their price point. I think the Celius was Stereophile Class A-rated at one point. I've no experience with the Acarian, but Triangles are sensit... | |
| Hum in speakers Dimmers are notorious in terms of dirtying up AC. Do you have a hum with the dimmer switch completely off (or, conversely, all the way up)? If not, then it's the dimmer switch. If you still have a hum, troubleshoot as the posts above advise and tr... | |
| Speaker Cable trial @srosenberg Interesting. I'm finding the opposite to be true. My Satoris are outperforming the CD shotguns. However, as @nonoise pointed out, the Satoris may be a better match for the Adagios and LSA Statement I have. Now, if Paul and Mr. Lee team... | |
| Speaker Cable trial I’m currently comparing Clear Day Silver Shotgun (which I've had for several years) with Acoustic Zen Satori (which arrived earlier this week).. The latter are breaking in, but preliminary indications are that they are better, but not by much. The... | |
| Ghost repeats during vinyl playback Awesome; thank you all for the clarification | |
| Suggest affordable cable options @arafiq Just pm'd you with contact info in AZ and Clear Day. | |
| Suggest affordable cable options I'm going to put in another plug for Clear Day cables. I've been running a set of 8' Clear Day Shotgun cables ($270/8ft pair) on both Reference 3a de Capo's and Acoustic Zen Adagios. I just now put in a pair of Acoustic Zen Satori's ($800/6ft pair... | |
| WARNING - USE UPS FOR SHIPPING RATHER THAN FEDEX @blackjack616 I imagine the vast majority of UPS employees love and excel at their job - and there's a certain amount of social foundation in seeing that big brown truck pull up outside one's house with a box of good news! Still, it wasn't the ra... | |
| WARNING - USE UPS FOR SHIPPING RATHER THAN FEDEX Screw that. I'll never use UPS again after how they botched shipping a pair of really good monitors. They denied all culpability and washed their hands of the matter, even though the box and contents were plainly damaged because of shipping, not b... | |
| LSA-1 ?? These are quite good for the price. That doesn't mean they're not good compared with other speakers, just that they sound fantastic for what you pay. Wally could charge twice as much based on their sound. | |
| Where to go from here... Having owned a pair of Maggie 3.6R's for a while before life swung Reference 3A de Capo BE's my way, followed by Acoustic Zen Adagios, I can say the Maggies presented such a beautiful and deep soundstage. Well produced and well-mic'd recordings we... |
