| Picking speakers 3000-5000 budget The speakers you say you like are literally all over the place sonically so would help if you could narrow down what specific improvements you’re looking for. In addition to that, what sound characteristics are most important to you? Are you loo... | |
| Cryo treatment? I demoed Voodoo cables, and I found them to be very smooth especially for silver cables. Not sure how much the cryo treatment contributed but it sure didn’t hurt, and I was impressed with them. Just my experience FWIW. | |
| New buy, no return policy @gano Yeah, nothing says French cars like Nissan. 🙄 Relatively few Nissans are even made in France, and none of those are sold in the US so your argument is bogus. Bugatti is registered, headquartered, and built in France regardless of who owns ... | |
| New buy, no return policy they still sold more than US sold American made cars in France. @gano No. There are no French cars sold in the US except for a few Bugattis. That’s it. Renault, Citroen, and Peugeot are non existent in the US. Then there’s that the EU slap... | |
| Chesky Audio LC1 bookshelf speakers - a sonic bargain! As I listened, Sandy Gross (founder Polk Audio, GoldenEar..) walked by and remarked they sounded great. Should be mentioned he was involved in the development of the speakers. | |
| New buy, no return policy French don’t like to service even each other, to put it mildly, let alone foreigners. This attitude coupled with poor reliability goes a long way toward explaining why France utterly failed at selling cars in the US. | |
| Picking a power amp The reason I was thinking of getting the power amp first is that to me it will be a factor in which speaker I get. No. As others have said find the speakers that really “do it” for you first and then find an amp that synergizes sonically and c... | |
| New buy, no return policy we should go back to the 20th. century and start doing things the right way again. Internet commerce is good for cables and used equipment. Stop buying new equipment on-line, no matter the price, just stop it. I believe in the equality of dealer... | |
| Joseph Audio RM-33LE vs DeVore Gibbon 8, my experience. @ozzy62 Congrats! Heard nothing but great things about the IQs so would be very interested in your thoughts if you could share. | |
| HiFi Rose 250A issues with app & setting up Personally I don’t have patience for stuff like this and hope you find a solution, but several others here have been underwhelmed by the Rose software, and that their support for a unit at this price level is basically nonexistent is inexcusable I... | |
| Bryston BDA-3 / Benchmark DAC3B You could try this. It’s transparent with very good detail but as an R2R DAC it’s not sterile sounding (I own it BTW) so may be the best of both worlds for you, and I believe the seller accepts returns if it doesn’t work out. Best of luck. htt... | |
| Bowers & Wilkins HTM4 vs Klipsch P-27c Klipsch. The horn thing is just ugly IMO. | |
| Bowers & Wilkins HTM4 vs Klipsch P-27c I’m not a big B&W fan, but I think their center speakers are excellent. Couldn’t find any reviews of the Klipsch but doubt it’s any better and personally think it’s ugly, but that’s me. FWIW, and best of luck. | |
| Krell Moves to new location It’s pretty amazing they’ve been able to keep any staff at all at this point and must be bleeding cash and racking up debt. I for one am rooting hard for them, but it’s gonna be a tough road back both financially and with the significant damage d... | |
| Joseph Audio RM-33LE vs DeVore Gibbon 8, my experience. @ozzy62 As I recall that Stereophile review was very positive and may have even earned a Class A rating for whatever that’s worth. I’d expect the LE to be an improvement over the model they reviewed if maybe only marginal. Hard to see going wro... |
