| Looking for Suggestions for IC's What improvements are you looking for over your current IC? What sound characteristics are most important to you? | |
| Bryston 3B-ST and tubes4hifi SP11 Pairing I had both the ST and SST series in my system, and in my opinion the SST is more refined and worth paying more for. FWIW. | |
| Best speakers out there for Midrange and Highs @jmarshak — Yes the Anti-Mode 2.0 is also a DAC and preamp, but you need not use those functions. It also does room correction and sub integration, which is where it may have significant value for you. Like I said, for a relatively modest investme... | |
| CD player with R2R DAC and headphone output I think that’s a unicorn. The Metrum Amethyst is a good R2R NOS DAC with a decent headphone amp built in, but you’d need a transport. | |
| Best speakers out there for Midrange and Highs I disagree that you are wasting the bass capabilities of the subs with the Salons. Heck, people add subs to Wilson Alexandrias, so that should tell you something.I still think before making any drastic changes, especially since you seem to like y... | |
| Are the really pricey HT Pre Amps worth it? I think the only reason to pony up for the higher-end prepros is if 2-channel is important. But then, at those prices I’d rather get a decent prepro and a good stereo pre. To me, the only reason to not do this is if for some reason you can only ha... | |
| Sonus fabre Venere s My bad. You are correct. They are made in Italy. Color me surprised. | |
| Need advice @mormark — My deepest apologies. After years of being here I get a little frustrated when certain information isn’t provided, and I failed to realize you’re new here. Welcome, by the way. I’m honestly trying to help here and hopefully get you bett... | |
| Best speakers out there for Midrange and Highs Wait. You’re crossing over the subs at 90Hz with the Salons? Why??? That makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever. First, you can probably crossover the subs at 40Hz or less with those speakers, and second the sub becomes more directional an... | |
| What’s the most badass $2k amp I can get? There’s a McCormack DNA-2 Deluxe available on EBay for $2100. Puts out 300Wpc into 8 Ohms and 600Wpc into 4 Ohms. Is that badass enough? Oh, and it’s an awesome amp too. | |
| Stand-mount speaker/monitor recommendation It’s possible the Joseph Audio Prism could work. They don’t specify sensitivity, but minimum impedance is stated to be 7Ohms. | |
| Sonus fabre Venere s You want a real speaker? There is a pair of Usher Audio CP- 8571 II Dancers available here now for $2700 (list $7500). They’re gorgeous and their sound will literally astound you. They’re a steal at this price. You can read a review of them at Ab... | |
| Sonus fabre Venere s @georgehifi — I think you’re confusing the Venere line with SF’s “normal” speakers. The Venere sound is much more bright and forward than the rest of the SF line — it was made to fit a lower price point and attract a different type of customer. ... | |
| Sonus fabre Venere s You are wrong, the Venere 3 Signature being the top of the Venere line is made in Italy and has a very beautiful and heavy cabinet.No, you are wrong. They’re not made in Italy, and their cabinets are still crap. Here’s a quote from Soundstage Acce... | |
| Need advice Blah blah blah? You know why it’s blah blah blah? Because you haven’t even bothered to give us any information about what sound and speaker characteristics are most important to you. Do you think maybe that might be some good information to have f... |
