| Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw? Ah, didn’t know such things existed but lived in Chicago for six wonderful years so I totally get it. My friend owned a boat he moored in Diversey harbor and complained about the short boating season — spent many days/evenings drinking beer looki... | |
| Sonus Faber Sonetto V’s Thoughts Requested I didn’t mention it in my prior post, but as @jbuhl found with the Sonettos I found the build quality of the Veneres to also be cheap and subpar. Sounds like that’s still an issue. | |
| Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw? Indoor golf??? I didn’t know miniature golf had leagues. Sorry — thanks for the pix. Very nice!!! Love the natural wood look mucho. | |
| Sonus Faber Sonetto V’s Thoughts Requested I'm not really looking for other options in my 4 to 5k max budget, so much as I was looking for info regarding if the Sonettos in particular, which I seemed to be fixated on, is a real step up in SQ vs. My current Q750s. Well, I may just disapp... | |
| Best Circa 90's CDP Are you also nostalgic for burnt-out lasers and failing disc drives? There are other things like speakers, amps, preamps, etc. you can more safely be nostalgic about from the 90s, but if you’re intent on rolling the dice this one would be among t... | |
| Sonus Faber Sonetto V’s Thoughts Requested I definitely do not consider myself an audiophile Yeah you are, or you wouldn’t be here asking the good questions you ask. Thanks for the nice words BTW. I’ve already put some thought into this but could use a little more info — what’s your bud... | |
| Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw? Sooooo, if ur gonna leave us hanging for a week you can leave the system playing while you’re away so they’re pretty much broken in when you get back, right? C’mon man, this ain’t all about you ya know. Ehem. Seriously though, have a great vaca... | |
| Old phones as streaming sources It's strange. While it is understandable that the perception of sound quality is subjective, it cannot deviate too much. @lanx0003 Sure it can. I’ll mention that power supplies consistently are reported to have a significant impact on the soun... | |
| Room Treatment suppliers @hilde45 Interesting and thanks for the link — it’s bookmarked. | |
| Yes, cables do make a difference -- regardless of price... “flat earther” denotes someone who disregards all scientific evidence for the earth in fact being spherical, while demanding no scientific evidence to support the belief earth is flat. @benanders In the audio world “flat earther,” and as it’s u... | |
| Floorstanding speaker experiences/recommendations in the $12-25k range Given your preferences and amp I’d give a very high recommendation to the Verity Audio Otello. Verity flies under the radar a bit, but they remain some of the best all-around speakers I’ve ever heard as they’re supremely natural and lifelike soun... | |
| Noise coming from subwoofers and centre channel I still don’t have an answer that if the power strip is plugged in via a 3-prong plug and the projector is then plugged into the strip with a cheater plug if that’s still an issue. If the power strip is grounded I don’t see why plugging a compone... | |
| Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw? @vthokie83 Congrats! Very much look forward to any pics and listening impressions once they have some hours on them. | |
| Old phones as streaming sources @lanx0003 I’ll just say my experience was way different. I thought using my iPhone into my DAC using Qobuz sounded really good. Then I brought up my old Oppo player to use as a CD transport into my DAC and playing CDs totally eclipsed the perfor... | |
| Comparing streamer/DACs between $5-10k At your price level, and unless you’re extremely space constrained, get a separate streamer and DAC. Your future upgrade potential on both counts will be much easier, and you’ll very likely get better performance. Both the DAC and streamer are cri... |
