| What sort of upgrade from Rega Brio to go with my Dynaudio's X12? I’d have to agree your Dyns would appreciate more power, but all amps sound different so it really depends on what improvements and sound characteristics you’re looking for beyond just more power. Also, what’s your budget, and are you looking for... | |
| Need recommendations on 15ft speaker cables I am expecting that with a better cable I will get more tonal density, perhaps openness and sound staging. With B&W I am planning just copper since I have heard silver can increase harshness. Ultimate goal is to get warmer yet detailed and pu... | |
| What is the Current Guidance on Stereo and AV Configurations If I had to guess, it was an asertion that being forced to manually rebalance the volume level of a front-ch amp every time you change the volume of a multichannel processor is no big deal @cundare2 Once again, this is simply false and very mis... | |
| What is the Current Guidance on Stereo and AV Configurations Without HT bypass, the two go out of sync every time you change either one. This gets even more complicated when the FL/FR receiver/speaker combination responds differently to numeric volume-dial changes than do the other channels. That is, you u... | |
| Need recommendations on 15ft speaker cables Well, these Acoustic Zen Satori cables should be a substantial improvement, and a 15’ pair along with their matching jumpers to replace the 805’s stock jumpers would still be well below your max price at $1910. Best of luck. https://www.thecable... | |
| Dirty little secret of Pedigreed, decades old Speaker line - no one will address Magico, Rockport & many speakers with ceramic drivers show how it should be done. A lot of AG forum contributors are so bright they feel they can get away with beautifully reasoned but too theoretical opinion, that may sound like it OUGHT to... | |
| Need recommendations on 15ft speaker cables Would be most helpful to know what cables you’re using now, what specific improvements/sound characteristics you’re looking for, and your budget. But just for one idea, these Pine Tree Audio cables have gotten very good feedback here and are very... | |
| What is the Current Guidance on Stereo and AV Configurations Respectfully disagree. Maybe you got lucky, maybe you’re just BS’ing. But either way, I hope the OP doesn’t fall into a booby trap. @cundare2 You can respectfully disagree all you want but you’re wrong, and the only booby trap is the one y... | |
| Paradigm 120h vs Goldenear Reference Got it. That’s interesting. Thanks, and glad you like what you’re hearing now. | |
| What is the Current Guidance on Stereo and AV Configurations using an integrated that doesn’t have HT bypass is far from a "simple" inconvenience. It means that whenever you adjust the volume level of the MC receiver, you also have to manually match the level of the integrated. Without HT bypass, the two g... | |
| Paradigm 120h vs Goldenear Reference Now just need a dac and streamer. I’m vinyl only since I sold my Lyngdorf. Ouchee!!! Couldn’t imagine being without streaming anymore. Out of curiosity, what made you sell the Lyngdorf? | |
| What is the Current Guidance on Stereo and AV Configurations I had absolutely zero idea bout HT Bypass. Does the AVR power the center channel? That’s why along with what speakers I asked what specific amp you’re using. You can do this with or without a HT bypass, but it’s a little easier with it. And t... | |
| Dirty little secret of Pedigreed, decades old Speaker line - no one will address So, you’ve been here 18 years and have started four discussions, half of which are critical of YG. Why? What’s your beef with them? Have you ever even heard YG speakers? At least YG has the capability to design and manufacture their own driver... | |
| Looking for cable recommendations for sennheiser HD800s Yeah, I forgot that. My bad. I’d listen to the new cables for a while exclusively to let your ears/brain burn in on the new sound and then switch back to the originals and see what you think. That should be interesting. | |
| Looking for cable recommendations for sennheiser HD800s Whew! I’m always a bit nervous recommending cables, but when you mentioned you were looking for better detail and soundstage I thought you’d like these so very glad to hear it’s been positive thus far. I’d give them at least 100 hours before mak... |
