| Have you ever hated the sound of your system one day, and loved it the next? Last evening the world outside my home was silent with 12” of freshly fallen heavy snow. It was so quiet 🤫 I could hear my breath freezing. The evening was audio magic so I stayed up until 3:00AM listening to recordings that never sounded so good.... | |
| B&W.....Focal.....or Focal PS: Driving a few hours deciding to pull the trigger on buying $14K Speakers can be fun....and much cheaper in the long run if you get it wrong. | |
| B&W.....Focal.....or Focal Can’t comment on 1038be2 vs Sopra but I had Focal Electra 1028be2 speakers. They sounded great but I was disappointed with their stability and coupling to the floor. The anchor points for the spikes loosened on mine within a few months. To their c... | |
| Amplifier for my new Focal Sopra no2 I’ve been driving my Sopra2’s with a Simaudio 700i for the past 2 years. It loafs along with around 5 Watts staying in Class A mode except for loud (90+dB) bass peaks in my 15’x24’ room with high ceilings. It has absolutely no problem playing at 1... | |
| Cables for Focal 1008be2 Seems like everyone has their favorite cables. Ive only used the Discovery Essential and Essence cables in my system with the Sopra2 and 1029be2 speakers. Sounds good so no reason to get on the cable train. | |
| Enjoying My New Focal Sopra No2's The Sopra 2 that I own do not include any plugs. They don’t have any rear ports as the Electra series does. I had the Focal 1028be2 before my Sopra’s. They tended to have a bass boom when placed too close to the wall. I don’t have that issue with ... | |
| Best looking reel to reel The mid ‘70’s Tandberg TD 10XD was a cool looking Deck. | |
| looking for the best cd transport only, without dac A few years ago I was looking into getting a CD Transport to use with my Bryston DAC to replace an aging Oppo NewForce BluRay Player. I tried several until I read the TAS article about a Simaudio Neo260D. The transport was very nice indeed. When I... | |
| Speaker Placement - When it's perfect! Every year or so I seem to find a new “perfect” spot for my speakers. It’s like getting new speakers free. | |
| Searching for the most "accurate" speaker (below 15K) Seems like this thread has been hijacked by Audio Dealers who believe they sell the ultimate speakers. The way to decide is simply go listen for yourself. Everything sounds great to someone out there. Listen, then buy.Purchasing $15,000 Speakers i... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Thanks....I think AS enjoyed the moment too. Gawd....The YOTC still sounds great today. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Al Stewart and Marvin....excellent choices. I’m gonna que them up next. PS: Saw AS a few years ago locally. He autographed a Y/O The Cat Poster to my 2 Cats...Keela & Abby. He said it was the first time he ever sighed a Poster for a cat. Cool... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? “Peace Love Ukulele” by Jake Shimabukuro 🎶🎶very nice👍 | |
| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? I’ve got 3 audio systems to listen and compare, ranging from my car (Acura 2004 TL) to a Bose Computer setup and my home “Audiophile” System....around $40,000+/- and growing rapidly. I enjoy all 3 of them, almost equally. Music 🎶 moves me when it’... | |
| Which Snell Type A do I have? A-I or A-Original? A friend had the original Type A back in 1978 or ‘79. Shortly after I heard them I bought my pair. They looked identical except my pair had 2 rear cutouts for the woofer. His earlier pair was sealed behind the woofer cabinet. Also, his pair had fe... |
