| Recommend a Cable/Interconnect Set Yo. Another Joysey boy here. Agree with Inna that spending $600 likely won't help you much and may even hurt. I've had lots of cables and interconnects over the years, but the ones I've stuck with are Acoustic Zens. Are they the best out there... | |
| Speaker - Room/size dilemma There's a pair of Joseph Audio Prisms for sale here now in your price range that would be worth a look. A lot of the Pulsar's performance for half the price. | |
| Recommendation for Improvement over McCormack DNA-225 There's a DNA 500 for sale here now for just under three grand. Might be worth asking Steve what he thinks of the 500 versus a modded 225 given your speakers and priorities. Best of luck. | |
| Speaker - Room/size dilemma 1-2 feet from the back wall and near the corners is a tough ask of most audiophile speakers. I'd skew toward speakers made to be placed in or near corners and near or against the wall. Two that come to mind are Sjofn (the clue) and Von Schweiker... | |
| Need Small Bookshelf Speakers With a Big Sound Just curious if Holm had the Joseph Audio Prisms there? I know they're a bit above your price range, but they may be worth a listen just for reference if nothing else. Be interested in your thoughts if you ever get to hear them. Also, if they h... | |
| Problems with Audio Engine Support Recently bought a B2 for my brother and it's really very good. But I had a question and when I called the message said they no longer support phone calls. I got a fairly quick response from the email I sent, but when you're doing business primar... | |
| Best Interconnects from DAC to Integrated-under 300 used What are you using now and what are you looking to improve upon with the new interconnect? Best bang for the buck doesn't really give us anything to go on. | |
| Looking for my first tube amplifier, help appreciated. If you're going to upgrade your whole system you should start with the speakers as they will largely dictate what your amp choices are. | |
| Speakers with warm treble and good bass I'm very surprised at your impression of the Vandys. I'd seriously question the setup and associated equipment if it was at a dealer. Not what I associatiate with the Vandy 2s at all, although I'm sure you heard what you heard. I'd give them an... | |
| Speakers with warm treble and good bass Would’ve thought the Vandys would check all your boxes. What didn’t you like about them? Others to check out would be Silverline Prelude and Nola Boxer or a used pair of Joseph Audio RM7s if you can find them (my personal pick of the bunch FWIW). ... | |
| Need Suggestions for speakers up to $15K new/used Although I agree with others that show conditions have tons of variables, the fact that you couldn't get the sound of the Raidhos out of your head I think carries a lot of weight. That said, in your price range there are lots of other great optio... | |
| Best interconnects used for around $500 +? What interconnects are you using currently and what specifically are you looking to improve upon? | |
| What happened to Berkeley Audio Design If you have a question about a given audio manufacturer in the future, I'd have a couple suggestions:1. Don't make your headline sound like the company's dead. Most audio manufacturers -- even the good ones -- are operating on a very low margin ... | |
| Looking for an upgrate from Cronus Magnum I was going to recommend the Dialogue HP but you beat me to it. Interesting comparison to the CM and awesome that you had a dealer nearby with such great choices and that you got to try it at home. Congrats and enjoy! | |
| Best Small Floorstanding Speaker under $2K Couple pairs of Soliloquy 5.3s for sale here now. Small footprint, attractive, great imaging, and enough bass that you won't miss a sub. And they're under $900/pr. Best of luck. |
