| Sonus Faber Electa Amator III vs. the Bowers and Wilkins 805 D4? ...So does S. Faber even make a stand-mount with their older, "traditional" presentation??? @stuartk Unfortunately I have no idea. I think @ghdprentice might be able to give you some helpful insights on that if he wants to chime in here. | |
| What are your thoughts/opinions on the Orchard Audio Starkrimson Mono Ultra Premium I had the AGD Audions V2 in my system as reference. The orchard audio made me sell the AGD audions. I did a shootout between these amps on a number I speakers like magnepan LRS+, Harbeth 40.3, 30.3, zU Audio Soul 6, b&w 805d3 etc and found th... | |
| Sonus Faber Electa Amator III vs. the Bowers and Wilkins 805 D4? Those are very different sounding speakers so I’m a bit surprised you didn’t clearly prefer one sonically over the other even in different systems. I’ll just say I got to compare the original Joseph Audio Pulsars to the 805 D3s and to my ears the... | |
| Help with high end bookshelf speakers I’ll echo others — what speakers do you have now, what sound characteristics are you looking for, what’s your budget, and are you looking for new or used? Need more to go on here. Also, is divorce an option? That could potentially solve all your... | |
| Illumination Obviously it’s easier to critique a recommendation than to take the time to look things up like I did. Obviously it’s even easier if the OP just gives more sufficient info upfront rather than everyone else then having to go through the same sea... | |
| Recommendations for really well-recorded music for high-end audio system demo I should mention I can’t currently play vinyl for this application (but feel free to make recommendations) and my main source is Qobuz but can buy/play CDs if necessary. | |
| Illumination Took some time but found him and for anyone that is wondering - he is back with a tour de force. Good for you! Since he’s so hard to find it’d be nice to know how we could find him too. When you start a thread it’s most helpful if you give the ... | |
| Morrow Audio Speaker Cables How’d the SP-6es work out? | |
| Recommendations for really well-recorded music for high-end audio system demo Your list should be full now. @boxcarman Never. Keep’em coming! I’m enjoying them all and hoping others are benefitting from this as well. | |
| New preamp or up grade my cartridge and or phono amp? Preamps matter, and they matter a lot. They are often called the heart of a system for a reason, so dismiss it at your own risk. A good stereo preamp should significantly outperform your prepro in any mode and would probably be the first thing I... | |
| Buchardt A10 Review in Hi-Fi+ Magazine The speakers sound very interesting, but the review is flyover garbage as per usual from Hifi+ as it lacks how the speakers perform with specific songs or how they compare to anything else so isn’t very informative except for very broad and basic ... | |
| The Horror You should throw a quilt or blanket over the TV — it won’t solve your problem but may provide a meaningful improvement. | |
| Eversolo DMP-A8 vs iPhone plugged directly to integrated amp - why no difference? Hey, goodonya for trusting your ears and not convincing yourself the Eversolo sounds better just because it’s more expensive or because it “should” sound better. Maybe try your phone as a source at the dealer and see what happens there. Best of ... | |
| Eversolo DMP-A8 vs iPhone plugged directly to integrated amp - why no difference? Nonetheless, there’s no doubt that the iPhone is a fine streamer. @lanx0003 Yeah there sure is doubt. I know what I heard and when I ran my iPhone with an upgraded lightning to USB adapter from LavriCables into my DAC and it sounded worse than ... | |
| Eversolo DMP-A8 vs iPhone plugged directly to integrated amp - why no difference? Something’s wrong somewhere. I compared my iPad into my DAC (using Qobuz) bypassing its internal DAC, and my relatively modest iFi Zen Stream sounded much better as a streaming source. I can only imagine the iPad being even worse if I was using it... |
