| Do I need higher quality power cords? My unfortunate experience has been that everything matters to some extent or another. To the OP, what I’m planning on doing is taking advantage of the generous risk-free trial periods offered by some direct sellers like Cullen, Triode Wire Labs, e... | |
| Holo Audio Spring Dac, At last a Stereophile review and tests I really enjoyed reading that review. It was very insightful and had a nice and honest tone about it. And I love that he compared it to other similar competitors, which makes a review so much more useful and informative -- at least to me. I didn’t... | |
| Int Amp for Thiel CS 3.7 There are a couple Vitus RI100s available here now that I'd think would sound phenomenal with your Thiels. Best of luck. | |
| Speaker recomendation Yup. Ain’t nuthin’ getting in here. I recently sent a coffee mug to a friend who works with some, um, intellectually-challenged coworkers. It said, "I can explain it to you, I just can’t understand it for you." Like I said before, I’m done so I’ll... | |
| Does anyone leave their amp and preamp on all the time? Like others I leave mine on unless I'm leaving for at least a few days. Warm-up time was definitely part of my reason, but I had another reason that may or may not be valid so maybe an engineering type or someone more knowledgeable can chime in h... | |
| Speaker recomendation @audiotroy It’s like talking to a wall. Somebody else wanna help me here? This has nothing to do with my "opinion" of you or anything else here. It has everything to do with documented facts and your unethical behavior on this site. I apologize to... | |
| Speaker recomendation @audiotroy -- No, that doesn’t help me understand "your points" at all. It’s an irrelevant and incoherent rambling -- and of course containing yet another ad for the products you carry -- that is a sorry excuse of a defense of an indefensible and ... | |
| Speakers Bought Brand New For The Cost Of A Good Night Out, That "Kick Ass". Well now completely depends on who you are, doesn't it? If I'm Alex Ovechkin I could snag new JA Perspectives or Vandy Quatro CTs. | |
| Speaker recomendation Hey @audiotroy -- It’s one thing for you to come on here and try to peddle your wares. I don’t personally like it and find it quite tiring, but okay, it is what it is and I just put up with it. But when you start disparaging honest product recomme... | |
| Speaker recomendation There's a very nice demo pair of Acoustic Zen Crescendo IIs here now for $12k. They are an easy load so should work fine with your current amp, but they will certainly reward you for upgrades down the road. Best of luck. | |
| Black Mamba CX or PS Audio AC12 I confess I have no idea which of these is better, but I do wonder why just these two when there are so many good options out there? Specifically there are direct sellers offering high-value cables with generous in-home trial periods. A couple of... | |
| Stand mount loudspeakers @tutetibiimperes, thanks for sharing re: the Pearls. Honestly that’s the first non-positive thing I’ve ever seen about these speakers, which is what interests me. Normally I’d say that it was show conditions yadda yadda yadda, but JA almost always... | |
| Stand mount loudspeakers @exfoliate maybe you can break down your math on how you came to this conclusion, including the fact that the Pulsars are sold through reputable dealers and that requisite markup. Because there are a whole crapload of audiophiles who have bought ... | |
| Never-ending Speaker Journey ($1,000 budget) Funny, I was just about to recommend Nola Boxers as they have great mids and not overly bright highs. Also Joseph Audio RM7si IIs another great speaker. Both can be found on hifishark for a little over your price range. I'd think the Revels mig... | |
| New Speakers up to $15k - The more I read the less I know! Given what you're looking for the Vandys are an obvious choice. I'll add the Joseph Audio Perspectives as worth a serious audition as well. IME B&Ws don't match the transparency or 3D imaging and soundstaging capabilities of either of these,... |
