| Dynaudio Contour 30i or Sonus Faber Olympica II Sorry about rambling. It is interesting to trace this decision back somany years.@ghdprentice — Do NOT be sorry for rambling here for doing your homework and finding your speaker Nirvana. It’s what we’re all striving for here, and CONGRATS!!! on g... | |
| Speaker Upgrade ... Please Help Me I know all of Audiogon has been on pins and needles wondering what decision was made. You can now all relax and sleep easier :) I found a mint pair of used Sopra 2’s and couldn’t be happier. Way more balanced and a sense of depth that I didn’t hav... | |
| Joseph Audio Pulsar – Original vs. Graphene opinions? Yeah, you’re wrong. It’s a silk-dome tweeter. You’ve no idea what you’re talking about and your opinion is counter to most audiophiles in the world. And your opinion is worthless, IMO. | |
| $4000 budget for amp and preamp I'm thinking that I might get the Raven Nighthawk and keep them both for a few months and see which I prefer.Yeah, my money’s BIG on the Nighthawk. Let us know what you find. | |
| Dynaudio Contour 30i or Sonus Faber Olympica II Buy the LSA-20 Signature or Statements (available here) and save yourself $$$. No affiliation with the company BTW. They targeted Joseph Audio for performance, and IMO JA beats both SF and Dynaudio. Or, just pay more. Read the reviews — when revi... | |
| Better CD Sound: The Search I am never going to stream, not against it, just prefer hands on content@elliottbnewcombjr — Hey Elliott, I think I’m the one who clued you into the whole wonderful HT Bypass thing and I think you found that to be a bit of an epiphany, so I’m gonn... | |
| Considering adding a dedicated 2 channel preamp in setup? I'm using the 8805 and a Jc5 and will curios as to what you find.Try a JC2 and welcome to a whole new world. Preamps matter...HUGE!!! | |
| Better CD Sound: The Search Agree what you really need is a good DAC. As you’re obviously a vinyl fan I’d heavily point you to R2R DACs as they tend to have more of that organic, natural sound to them. I’m about to pull the trigger on a Musician Pegasus that’s $1100 new, a... | |
| Considering adding a dedicated 2 channel preamp in setup? I think I’d shoot a little higher than the P6 if I were you. Here’s a nice Bryston BP6 that’d certainly up your 2-channel game quite a bit (I used to own one) and is well under your $2k budget. It doesn’t have an HT Bypass, but you really don’t ... | |
| $4000 budget for amp and preamp Really depends on what sound characteristics you’re looking for and are most important to you. Why don’t we start there and I think you’ll get better and more targeted recommendations for your particular tastes. | |
| CD Player/Transport Quandary It’s also possible the Denon isn’t a great transport for your DAC. Not sure it’s worth the cost/effort, but something like a used Wyred4Sound Reclocker (if you can find one) might improve your DAC’s performance pretty significantly. Also, digita... | |
| Qobuz iPAD app and high rez We’ve all been there man and feel your pain. Congrats on sticking with it and finding the solution, and enjoy!!! | |
| Considering adding a dedicated 2 channel preamp in setup? Depending on the preamp you choose you should realize significant 2-channel improvements. What sound characteristics are most important to you and what improvements would you like to achieve? | |
| AV receiver a better bet than my current setup? Is this a joke? You’ve got some GREAT electronics and am surprised you’d even be taken in by the salesman’s BS that you should consider ANY receiver over them. If this is true, NEVER speak to that salesperson again as he/she obviously has NO ide... | |
| New speaker cables recommendations sought AZ Satori too “forceful?” A cable too forceful??? I got nuthin’. Best of luck. |
