| 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... | |
| Have l become unstable? @celtic66 -- can you be more specific about what you mean by "too polite," and what parameters would you most like to improve upon over what you have now? Thanks. | |
| Speakers for aging audiophiles - What's with today bass emphasis ? How close do you have your speakers to the back wall? Do you have flexibility to try pulling them out further into the room? That usually helps a lot if you haven't already tried it, and it's free!!!You might also consider some kind of bass mana... | |
| Pre and Amp Suggestions Wow. Just wow. That was very interesting and informative Ralph. Thank you! I don’t mean to pump your stock here, but given what you said and my limited knowledge of electronics, there seems to be little or no downside to employing a Circlotron-typ... | |
| Peep hole thumbnail pictures in listed items Agreed. Looks like somebody at A'gon found a new toy on their computer and ran amok with it to the benefit of no one. @dill thanks for the tip. | |
| Pre and Amp Suggestions Ralph, I was pretty shocked a while back when I read one of your posts that asserted that if components were properly designed to the balanced standard there would be no difference between interconnects. Since then I've wanted to ask the obvious ... | |
| Preamps better than Parasound JC-2 ? If I'm you I'd buy a used BP26 and save a couple grand over the BP17. If you read the Stereophile review I think you'll see there doesn't seem to be a night and day difference between the newer and older models. If you don't love it you can sell... | |
| Upgrade? What specifically are you looking to improve upon? | |
| TV ROOM Get this book. It's the best resource for not only keeping sound from getting out of a room, but also for optimizing the sound in it. Given your constraints it sounds like resilient channels in your ceilings and walls may be your best option. A... | |
| Upgrade from Classe SSP 800 processor I heard the TaCT preamp in a private system about 18 years ago and what that relatively prehistoric room correction did for that $80k high-end stereo system was flat out amazing. I also got to hear his system work on a system at a NYC show versus... | |
| Bryston preamps @blueranger -- my apologies. I've never heard a bad word about Ohm speakers and unfortunately haven't heard them myself. I'm sure they punch way above their price from everything I've read. Shame on me. No way to move up in the Ohm line?Having... | |
| First impression: Herron VTPH-2A phono preamp @dweller -- a while back there was a thread on the Chinook, and I distinctly remember more than one responder saying the Allnic H1201 and Herron VTPH (sorry, can't remember version) were significantly preferred in comparison. Not surprisingly, th... | |
| Need power amp recommendations for system What amp are you using currently? What would you like to improve upon and/or what's most important to you from a sound reproduction standpoint? Image/soundstage, detail, tonality, PRaT, etc.? |
