| Open Baffle Experience Oh boy oh boy. Can’t wait to hear the impending beat down coming to kenjit from someone who actually knows what the hell he’s talking about. Hee hee. | |
| To upgrade, or not to upgrade, that is the question +1 @ghdprentice any decent Ethernet cable is gonna cost $$$ for 70’, so I’d get something like a good TP Link extender and the DH Labs cable is likely a solid choice as well. Also, I was recently made aware of these Ethernet filters that seem to ... | |
| Budget friendly receiver choice I think the MRX 710 is a good choice for $600 and will be a step up in sound quality over the mass market AVRs. Here’s another one on eBay for $600 that may already have the software and also with no mic but you’d need to pay shipping from Michig... | |
| Ethernet cables @audphile1 Good question. Unfortunately in the place I’m staying now I’m unable to use my extender so the cable, sadly, still sits in the box. This will change soon, and when it does I fully plan on comparing the WW cable to a generic cable and ... | |
| What should be mandatory in every professional published review- If a reviewer has some sort of a relationship with a company whose product they have reviewed (eg, they were allowed to buy the review sample at a discount) I just want to know. @patrickdowns I’ll save you the suspense — all reviewers who write... | |
| For Vandersteen owners & lovers: Which other brands do you like? Uh, as a big Vandy fan I’d never point you in another direction as I find it highly unlikely you’ll find something that’ll unseat them. That said, if it was me and you have access to any of these other makes I’d highly recommend you listen to Jose... | |
| Open Baffle Experience You can't be serious. 99% of high end speaker designs are NOT open baffle they are boxes. They are all on my side. I have already named many of them. B&W, KEF, FOCAL, DYNAUDIO, MAGICO, WILSON @kenjit So, I’d love to hear you tell Richard Va... | |
| You had Theta in the past, what did you move onto? Maybe I’m just a purist snob, but if 2-channel is very important to me I’m gonna use a stereo amp/pre or integrated and supplement with a good AVR to power the center and do the processing (I assume people here know how easily that’s doable). Put... | |
| Mesh network versus a simple Wi-Fi extender Ok, what I’m getting here is that if distance from the router is involved a Mesh system is the preferred setup. But, in my situation I’ll be fairly close to my router but just not in a way to make it convenient to run hardwired directly from the r... | |
| Ethernet cables Thanks guys! Mucho helpful. | |
| Neutral Dac? The two most uncolored components I’ve had in my system was a Bryston BP-6 stereo preamp and my current Musician Pegasus R2R DAC. The Pegasus does a superb job of maintaining tonality and fluidity but without truncating upper treble detail that so... | |
| What should be mandatory in every professional published review- @patrickdowns I totally understand your skepticism and concern, and I can only speak from my own 16 years of reviewing, but I honestly think the corruption you’re alluding to is the exception rather than the rule — or at least I sincerely hope it ... | |
| Valve Amp for Sonus Faber Sonetto IIIs It’s doable, but if you’re going a pure tube amp it’ll cost some $$$ because you don’t wanna push an amp to near its power limits as you won’t get optimal performance. Good, higher-power tube amps cost $$$. You might get by with a Rogue Chronus Ma... | |
| Open Baffle Experience Let’s see here — on the dipole side we have Nola, Vandersteen, Spatial, Magnepan, Martin Logan, SoundLabs, etc, and on the other side we have…kenjit. Hmmm. I for one would love to see kenjit debate the great minds behind all these very successfu... | |
| The big Gensis are back, but what about Arion? I immediately bookmarked these when I first learned of them a couple weeks ago, and I don’t do that a lot. The three best systems I’ve ever heard involved Nola, Genesis, and Pipedream speakers, all of which were tall, line-array designs. If these... |
