| Separates vs Integrated It’s that synergy that has me wonder about a high end integrated vs what I have. Well that’s just a total non starter. If you can’t be more specific about what specific improvements you’re looking for, even people who happen to own your pre and... | |
| Speaker Suggestions for Next Move Reasons for Changing. They do not sound harsh or bright. I'm not thinking of moving on because of that. I'd like to get a bit more depth to the soundstage and more finesse in the overall presentation. Depending on the tube amp I’d highly re... | |
| Gold coated brass speaker spades @tkrtrb125 +1 Copper: The second most conductive metal, and the most common choice for audio cables. Copper cables are perceived to have a more balanced, "warm" sound. I’ve often wondered about this. I’ve got both silver and copper and have... | |
| Gold coated brass speaker spades Chinese retailers were selling fake Harmonic Tech, Nordost, Siltech and other 4...5- figure priced wires for around $100 per pair and finding lots of success @czarivey That don’t mean squat. Anyone listening to the same cable one made of brass ... | |
| Gold coated brass speaker spades It's all about brass being same as OFC and even Silver. All three materials can be used in audio wires and all will sound nearly same. @czarivey You’re kidding, right? That’s just an absurd statement, and nobody makes cables out of brass wire... | |
| Separates vs Integrated You’ve got a nice pre and amp so begs the question what specific improvements are you looking for? Personally, and especially if you like the sound you have now, I’d look to upgrade your streamer first — something like an Aurender N200 or Innuos ... | |
| Speakers for Gryphon Diablo 120 I'm sorry to be such a disppointing person to some of you You’re not disappointing anyone here, and in fact we’re just trying to help. If you don’t agree with some of the suggestions being made that’s fine. The thing is, the KEFs aren’t dark ... | |
| Speakers low pitch humming, is it normal, or real issue with preamp? Could be a ground loop. You could try using a cheater plug to lift the ground on the preamp, amp, etc. and see if that eliminates the hum. Not a long-term solution but at least you’ll see if that’s the problem and then go from there. I suppose ... | |
| Solid State preamp Brands This completely depends on what sound characteristics you’re looking for. Also, what’s your budget and are you looking for new or used? | |
| Looking to upgrade my Goldenear Triton ones. Need help When you say “better midrange” what specifically are you looking for. Better or fuller tonality, more clarity? And are you looking for new or used? | |
| Speakers for Gryphon Diablo 120 If the Gryphon sounds dark to you, why are you trying to fix it with bright speakers? I’d look for an amp that doesn’t sound dark to you and then maybe your KEFs will sound great. Why are you bending over backwards to accommodate this amp? Just... | |
| JA Pulsars vs Harbeth 30.2 Nice! Great price!!! | |
| Best standmounts with a 7" woofer/driver Buy a used pair of Joseph Audio Pulsars (either version) and compare. It’s got a 5.5” midwoof but goes lower than the Revivals (by measurements) and by all accounts moves more air than expected for their size. The bonus is you get that magical a... | |
| JA Pulsars vs Harbeth 30.2 Congrats! I’m sure you’re gonna be thrilled and look forward to your thoughts. If you don’t mind me asking, are they the original version, how much were they, and what finish did you get? | |
| Gold coated brass speaker spades It’s how they sound to you in the end. If the Tara cables sound better than comparably priced competitors with copper connectors I say go with Tara regardless. Still surprising they’d use brass though because copper spades just can’t add all tha... |
