| Suggest Transports that can be Demo'd at home @stuartk -- I'm not familiar with the syncromesh vs. the Offramp, but my impression is the Offramp could make the transport a non issue. Personally, I'd get an Offramp and not have to pay or worry so much about the transport going forward. And y... | |
| Suggest Transports that can be Demo'd at home If you're using an Empiracle Audio Offramp I'm not sure you'll hear all that much difference between transports, no? I'd just buy this Bel Canto CD2 and be done with it. Built like a tank...https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649501384-bel-canto... | |
| Review: Silverline SR17 Supreme speakers Would be interesting to hear how these compare to JA Pulsars. Both excellent speakers in the same price range. | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 I dunno. You guys seem to be implying that this is a 2nd order crossover that's crossed over relatively low in the high frequencies, and that this is what creates the magic. That seems like an over-simplification to me, and I don't know if it's ... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 There is magic in that crossover. | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 But the only difference between these $9000 speakers and $1000 speakers is that it uses a $200 woofer vs a $50 woofer. @kenjit -- What are you talking about??? The cost of speakers has a lot more to it than just drivers. The original Pulsars are... | |
| Supratek or Don Sachs - which way to go? Nice response @ | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 @kenjit - Manufacturers generally have to charge 4x the cost of the product to make money if selling through a dealer network. I'd bet Joseph loosely follows this. Those drivers alone aren't cheap. | |
| Image/soundstage and punch/bass IMO you're asking for a lot at $2500. Subs are the obvious choice, but if that's not your bag these Nola Vipers might be a good choice. Bass down to 28 Hz and mids and tweets are dipoles like the Maggies that may appeal to you from an imaging pe... | |
| corner speakers Get speakers made for corner placement. Without a doubt, in your situation I'd buy Sjofn "the clue" speakers. Do NOT go by the Stereophile review -- the guy totally screwed it up. I and many others have heard these at shows and have been absolu... | |
| Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9 Maybe the D30 would be the best of all worlds for you? | |
| High End SS Preamplifier Ayre, EMM Labs, ML, or Pass Looking for that neutral, transparent, accurate tonal harmonic musical reproduction that isn't analytical, dry, lean, or fatiguing.You've got some great Class-A amps. Was thinking maybe a preamp from another manufacturer who also makes Class-A am... | |
| Looking for my first DAC @markcdaniel - Yeah, given all the positive reviews on both it doesn’t surprise me that they sound pretty similar. Good point on the features though. Someone once posted here that Mytek’s customer responsiveness was a bit lacking, but that was a w... | |
| Looking for my first DAC Lots of good info here. Just to revisit some of them, it would be helpful to know what aspects of sound reproduction are important to you and/or what things are you looking improve upon. I had an Oppo transport fail on me, so u know where I stand... | |
