| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? I'm also a big believer that when you hear the right speaker for you, you just know. Given your words about the Sabrina it sounds like you may indeed have found your boy. That said, there's nothing wrong with hearing some other candidates just t... | |
| Affordable Processor with Fabulous 2 Channel ? "But high end pre pros like the Classe SSP 800, Classe Sigma SSP, Bryston SP3, Meridian Ref 861 v8 are great for both stereo and surrounds (HT) and can function as high end stereo preamps."Yup. I completely agree. But as multichannel formats and... | |
| Backert Labs Rhumba preamp As someone in the same boat as you -- solid state guy looking to add a tubed pre for the first time -- thought I'd chime in FWIW. My goal is to introduce some of that tube magic into my system with as little or no sense of a loss of transparency ... | |
| Speaker cables There is no best, but I think a used pair of Acoustic Zen Satori shotgun biwire cables is a very good all-around cable that would be a great start. Best of luck. | |
| Affordable Processor with Fabulous 2 Channel ? Well, if 2-channel is your top priority I'd do it a little differently in an effort to put more of your budget toward stereo and less on the multichannel electronics. If this sounds like you, read on. And if not, just disregard.With your budget ... | |
| do i need a new DAC "i have a NAD D1050 which is now 5 years old but still sounds fantastic." Relative to what other DACs you’ve heard???"what has happen in the last 5 years? have their really been such great strides in digital playback made? i think SS is evolving f... | |
| YG Acoustics, Raihdo? Plenty of love for them, but I think you nailed it with expensive. I’d argue not too expensive for the level of sound quality and engineering, but just expensive period. That said, as much as I may love’em, I wouldn’t touch Raidho now. The guys wh... | |
| Mytek Brooklyn DAC+ or Schiit Yggdrasil? Why just these two? The Metrum Onyx is in that price range and has more than a little technology trickled down from their upscale Pavane. Non-upsampling, no filters, FPGA technology, and proprietary DACs. Just another option to ponder. Best of... | |
| New Speakers up to $15k - The more I read the less I know! Congrats!!! Awesome speakers. | |
| Tube Preamp When was the last time you auditioned speakers? | |
| LOUNDSPEAKER FOR $10,000.00 PER PAIR Forgot to mention the Nola KO, in case the very tall Carver ALS don't work for your room. Upscale Audio has the KO and KO2 discounted below $10k. | |
| LOUNDSPEAKER FOR $10,000.00 PER PAIR +1 Carver ALS. Ozzy beat me to it -- exactly what I was thinking. | |
| LOUNDSPEAKER FOR $10,000.00 PER PAIR Can you be more specific obout what you're looking to improve upon over your Triton 5s and what aspects of sound reproduction are most important to you? | |
| Which DAC as a preamp? Haven't heard the ones you mentioned, but I had a Bel Canto DAC3VB in my system and in addition to being a great sounding DAC I found its preamp section to be indistinguishable from my Bryston BP6 preamp. There are a couple 3.5VBs for sale here n... | |
| Have l become unstable? @celtic66 -- yeah, I'm a Merlin fan too. Still sad about Bobby. I have to say active ATCs will blow you away. Literally. They are like nothing else IME when it comes to effortless and undistorted dynamics. Now, will they portray that almost s... |
