| Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+ Those stands look great. Love your amp BTW. Jeff Joseph has told me his speakers do well with tubes (except obviously the flea-watt type) so I guess I’m not surprised. Glad you’re so happy! Color me jealous. | |
| Subwoofer RCA Cable It will depend on who you ask, but most people who believe in investing in quality cables including me will say yes. I say it like this because any cable thread is bound to go south on this forum. Wait for it… | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+ Nice!!! How’s the Qualiton do driving the JAs, and what are the speakers sitting on? I’m thinking with those Rels you’re probably not far off from a pair of Pearls performance wise. | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+ @prof Those are beauties! Thanks for sharing. | |
| looking for a more efficient speaker..... soix also i talked with dr lee at acoustic zenn, ask if there could be a problem with the wow II's since i got rid of the tara labs for the same reason. he told me not to tighten the interconnects to tight this will alter the headroom and clari... | |
| looking for a more efficient speaker..... I think you’re making up an amp problem where there is none. The McCormack DNA-500 is a beast, and your amp almost doubles power to 900Wpc into 4 Ohms. You’ve gotta be kidding me if you think that’s not enough power. Look elsewhere for whatever... | |
| DAC comparison Indeed. Audi makes a fine car (my wife drives Audi Allroads after years in BMW's) but they are FWD biased, even if power is being delivered to all four wheels. @ghasley I agree totally. Audi makes a fine performance car for the masses (R8 o... | |
| Advice Needed deciding new Phones Given your tastes and other equipment I’d highly recommend the Hifiman Arya v3 Stealths. I have them and they retail for $1700 but there’s a nice used pair on USAM for $950 you might be able to negotiate on since he’s the second owner. They are ve... | |
| DAC comparison I've been test driving cars. The Audi S5 and S6 are illustrative / representative of the same. Uber competent. Yet missing more than something [for me]. : ) It’s called Porsche. That’s what you’re missing. | |
| Euro Tumble While I appreciate the thought as a finance guy, I think you’re gonna find a lot of your savings eaten up by higher shipping costs to be worth the effort depending on how much you’re spending of course — think squeezing two ends of the same balloo... | |
| Interconnect or USB cable Me’all? Neither. I’d get another sub first. I think that will give you the most significant improvement. | |
| Upgrade from Kimber D60 Digital Coax cable I have Stereovox XVll that is the next gen D60 from the same maker and you can get this on Amazon for 60 bucks that beats it IMHO… https://smile.amazon.com/Geistnotes-Apogee-Wyde-Cable-WE-RR/dp/B01N5VXVA1/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=apogee+wyde+eye&q... | |
| Has anyone herd the Hegel h390 What preamp are you using with the Bryston? What improvements would you like to achieve over what you have now. What turntable/cartridge do you have? | |
| After the thrill is gone Appears that hanging around for 65 years still hasn’t dissuaded me from hunting unicorns. Other than possibly age I don’t think that makes you any different from 95% of the people here. Spoiled by rooms I had in past houses with no real cons... | |
| Weird Not sure if this will make any difference, but if the passive radiators are only on one side of the cabinet you might try just switching the speakers to the other side and see what happens. Just spitballing here. |
