| used speaker recommendations You can find the Harbeth P3ESR used at a little over $2k, which would be a great option if you can stretch a little. Not British, but there’s a pair of Nola Boxer 3s for $2k at Seattle HiFi that would also be worth considering. Best of luck. | |
| IPhone/IPad - why do I need camera adapter to connect to DAC? My understanding is you can use any lightening to USB cable, but I’ve only used a camera adapter so not sure if they all work or provide sufficient data transfer rates. I have also heard the Apple Camera Adapter with the power port sounds a bit b... | |
| I have atcsm40 want possible alternative Budget? | |
| Looking for some new floor standing speakers I’m gonna reiterate that you can try the LSA-20 Statements at home for 30 days and think you should strongly consider doing so. I believe at only $3300 they’ll give you everything you’re looking for and quite a bit more and highly doubt you’d send... | |
| Do speaker wires matter Yup. Mismatch of amp capabilities and speaker needs. Speaker cables aren’t even a rounding error at this point. You need either a new amp or new speakers. | |
| B&W 702 Signature vs The original B&W 702 S2 Sorry I apparently wasted my time. | |
| Near field monitor advice please Agree with pro speaker recommendation. I’d go ATC for their excellent sound and sealed-box design. Best of luck. | |
| Speaker upgrade Rockports, Joseph Audio, Vivid Audio measure in around the same as the Aerial acoustics 7T and may perhaps be a lateral step rather than a significant step forward. HA! I think not. I’d take a $35k speaker from any of those manufacturers over the ... | |
| Ayre Codex vs. ESS SABRE ES9010K2M (Yamaha AS801) There’s a NuPrime IDA-8 available here now for $600 I’d take over the 801 (not sure if it has all the same features though). You can read the reviews. | |
| Ayre Codex vs. ESS SABRE ES9010K2M (Yamaha AS801) Keep the Codex and put the funds into a better integrated. | |
| HiFi Man TWS600 Hey Erik, what’s your take on the TWS600 from an audiophile perspective? Compared to airpods? | |
| Eleven digital cable audition. Yeah that’s exactly why I brought it up. I installed the Wyde Eye backwards by mistake once and it sent me into a panic until I realized what I did — it sounded so bad. | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? He’s talking about the module that can be used in various amps, not a particular amp. | |
| B&W 702 Signature vs The original B&W 702 S2 That review of the 702s is an absolute useless and misleading pile of garbage, as are most reviews that don’t bother to make direct comparisons to another competitive model. The highly resolving carbon dome tweeter of the Bowers & Wilkins 702 ... | |
| Recommendation for a replacement speaker cable $600? Better than AZ Satori??? Uh, good luck with that one. Try Audio Envy I guess. What specifically are you looking to improve upon over what the AZs do? “Upgrade” and “Magic” don’t mean anything, at least not to me. |
