| World's best small speaker? @Milimetr, have you heard he Accordos? I am thinking about upgrading my SF Auditors to perhaps some used Guarneri Mementos or the Accordos. I would love to hear your thoughts on the Accordos. | |
| Synergistic Research - NEW Element Cables Thank you Devilboy. I contacted Michael. Looking forward to this. | |
| Hard drive for Oppo 105 and Sonos Pokey77,I would suggest Sonos + NAS. As you mention the Sonos is very easy to set up, the interface is fantastic, and its reliable. I was one of the first ones to purchase it back in 2003 I think. No issues. The NAS will allow you to not need a co... | |
| Synergistic Research - NEW Element Cables Devilboy, very timely post. I am seriously considering getting some Tungsten power cables and was about to get the Gallileo Mpc. I also like the 2 leads of the Gallielo. I wonder if Michael Spallone can do that too with his mod? So how do we get i... | |
| Acoustic Arts Power I Integrated Amp jkstraw, I agree about the looks of the AA products. However, I will say that the front faceplates are not as shiny and polished as they look in the marketing pictures. The dials are definitely shiny but the faceplate is more of a matte or slight ... | |
| Hard drive for Oppo 105 and Sonos Tonyangel is right (sort of). Sonos can only play files that are on the network. Files can reside on any computer folder as long as the folder is being shared on the network. Therefore, a USB hard drive will also work so long as it is visible on t... | |
| Acoustic Arts Power I Integrated Amp I own the Mk II version of this integrated. I would say the sound is neutral with very good dynamics and clarity. It reminds me of the Ayre MX-R that I used to own. Needless to say I am very happy with powering my Sf Auditor monitors. | |
| Esoteric K-05 or K-07? Jmcgrogran2, good point about volume attenuators. A few years ago I wanted to experiment going with a pre so I purchased some attenuators that fit right on the balanced inputs of my amp. At end of the day I didn't like the thin sound but it was a ... | |
| Esoteric K-05 or K-07? @audiolabyrinth, unfortunately Luxman does not offer a CDP with volume control which is a shame because I think its one of the better sounding units available. @jmcgrogran2, I would like to listen to the K series. I do think the Esoteric can be a ... | |
| Esoteric K-05 or K-07? Maybe not relevant to this thread since I have never listened to the K series but I did have the X-03 and the P3/D5 combo. I would describe the sound I heard as very clear, detailed and dynamic. Perhaps the filters available on the K series can he... | |
| suggest an under $2000 amp to match 4ohm speakers I highly recommend the MF M6i integrated. It doesn't have the tone controls you are looking for but it's in your budget and frankly sounds incredible. It can handle your 4ohm speakers without a problem. | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Was driving Audi S5 convertible but audio gear and impending changes to "dosmetic" situation forced change to something more practical for kids so now driving Honda Odyssey Minivan and Infinity G37S sedan. Oh well, I still have my stereo system! | |
| Power cords recommendations Try auditioning through The Cable Co. By the way, it would help if the OP let us know that is deficient in his system or what he was trying to achieve. | |
| Purist Audio Design - Dominus Interconnect Cable I second what Stingreen said. I just recently auditioned the latest version of the Venustas. The sound was very smooth and the backgrounds very black. My main issue was that the music sounded a bit diffused to me. The instruments and vocals lost s... | |
| Tara Labs The One SC and Avalon Speaker Funny you say that Bo1972! A friend of mine has the Avalons (I cant remember which model) and though the sound was good I always thought the image sizes were all wrong. The vocals sounded like it was coming from a giant's mouth! |
