| Who to trust when buying vintage ss ? What speakers will he be using? | |
| Need Advice on Amplifiers Sounds like you’re not totally happy with either. I don’t think adding another Benchmark amp makes a whole lotta sense because it clearly doesn’t give you the soul of the music you get with the Rogue, so why double down on that? More Watts won’t... | |
| First Tube amp suggestions Not to muddy the waters here, but a lot of the 3D magic you heard with the SET amp and RM7si speakers was probably not in small part due to the excellent imaging/soundstage capabilities of the speakers as it’s just a core strength of the brand (al... | |
| Who to trust when buying vintage ss ? Really need to know what speakers he’ll be driving to make any meaningful recommendations here, but I agree with the recommendation above that for not much more $ I’d avoid vintage and consider the Schiit Vidar or Aegir (sweet Class A) depending o... | |
| Cullen Cable He sold his company to Wyred4Sound so maybe you’ve got outdated contact info? I know I’m reaching here, but other people are getting cables so not sure what else could be going on here. And you’re right — that delay is absolutely absurd and you’... | |
| Bad news for home theater enthusiasts Well, at least they got the Women’s World Cup to help cushion the blow. | |
| All ARC vs All Pass Labs vs All CJ system compare @oldrooney It’s “manufacturers,” not “manufactures.” Manufactures is a verb and manufacturers is a noun. Sorry, I couldn’t resist either — heh heh. @roxy54 This one’s for you. | |
| First Tube amp suggestions Great info and thanks for sharing. I think the recommendations for Black Ice and LSA amps would be well worth looking into given your price target and what you’re looking for. My best advice would be to read all the reviews you can, and best of ... | |
| First Tube amp suggestions What amp do you have now, what sound characteristics are most important to you and what specific improvements are you looking for, and what’s your budget? | |
| Need for high quality powered center We could argue that making it bass limited is a limitation, but to me that’s an enabling feature. Well, it always comes down to trade offs doesn’t it? I for one think you’ve chosen very wisely. | |
| Need for high quality powered center It looks great! I love that you use a tweeter over a dedicated midrange as almost all the best centers do IMHO. I’m no speaker designer, but the best center speakers I’ve ever heard have used that configuration. If you design a passive version ... | |
| Need for high quality powered center I’m just wondering who’s your target market and what’s your price point (sorry if I just missed this info somewhere)? Knowing you I’d have to think this is a higher-performance — and likely an excellent — product, but at that level people tend to ... | |
| Streaming Headphone Amp The easiest choice would be the ubiquitous Bluesound Node although not sure how good its headphone amp is but I assume it’s not great. If you can get by with only Bluetooth the PS Audio Sprout100 could work. My choice if sound quality is important... | |
| dacs that I have had in my system - a listing I honestly don’t think speaker choice is the most important thing here although using the very transparent Maggies seems to be a very good choice. In these comparisons the most interesting info to me are the relative differences between the DACs r... | |
| DAC contest: Border Patrol Sei or Chord Qutest? I just think when a person relatively new to the hobby asks a question and a member inevitably comes on as all knowing, at least he should post pictures of his system so the noobie has an idea of his frame of reference. @jetter First, I never s... |
