| The Horror Yes I have heard the W5s at Alma Audio, 2 miles from my house. @grislybutter Good for you, and you’re certainly entitled to your opinion. | |
| The Horror And I would avoid the Boenickes for sure. Lot better choices in the W5 price range @grislybutter Have you even heard Boenicke speakers? I highly doubt it. | |
| The Horror I hear what you’re saying, and you have my deepest sympathy because I know exactly how I’d feel in the same situation. Then I started thinking, my system isn’t anything special, but I never came home from a show feeling disappointed with my syste... | |
| Recommendations for really well-recorded music for high-end audio system demo Lotsa great suggestions here, and I’m going through every one so thanks! Keep’em coming cause you can’t have too many of these, and no I’ve no plans to go to a high school (although prob not a bad idea to infect them with our disease while they’r... | |
| Help needed - Only one channel playing! I don’t understand — how are you driving the amps with the Terminator? That doesn’t seem possible. Is there no preamp in your system? Something’s missing here. | |
| Unintended PC Comparison Interesting, and goodonya for trusting your ears and being honest about what you heard — never anything wrong with that, and even better if it can save you big $$$ on PCs, amps, etc. BTW, gotta ask what cables from Amazon you were using? | |
| revel f208 This would seem to require alterations to the crossover as well, but I could be wrong. I’d just buy a good used pair of 228Bes if that’s what you really want. | |
| What is your front end ? No question, my favorite and most enjoyable source now overall is my streamer. It sounds plenty good, and constantly discovering great new music — and much of it in hi res — has me more excited about this hobby than I’ve ever been. Playing my ow... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? I think you’ve identified some good candidates with the possible exception of the A3s that may trigger your treble sensitivity especially with the music you listen to. Given what you’re looking for I immediately thought Legacy or used Acoustic Ze... | |
| All Hail the meek --yet mighty – NODE 2i Have you added an external LPS already? | |
| Denafrips Pontus *15th* ? @audiostick I’ve read that some people prefer the Pontus with a DDC over the Venus and allows use of the i2S connection. Just another (and maybe cheaper) option to consider. FWIW. | |
| Ethernet cables Agree with the above. I’d probably just replace the cable to the Node as many say that’s the most important. Here’s a link to the cable @lalitk mentioned along with another that has gotten good feedback. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VV... | |
| Zavfino prima mk2 speaker cables @painter24 Thanks for the info and look forward to your thoughts once they settle in more. What cables were you using before? | |
| What is the Current Guidance on Stereo and AV Configurations The one bit that I’m chewing on is that the AV Receiver is heavily underutilized if it’s only driving the center speaker. So, I looked at monoblocks but that just adds so many pieces to the solution. You need the AVR both to do the processing f... | |
| Streaming solution help - Dynaudio X12 + Hegel H95. Any advice would be appreciated! I’m a self proclaimed soundstage addict. I’m after that “3-d” sound with as much width and depth as possible, and prefer a warmer sound over a hyper detailed analytic one. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate detail but some liquidity and “soul” is n... |
