| Will you be going to see YES or YES this summer? I have center orchestra seats seventh row to see YES in September at the Fraze Pavilion! Very excited to see them one more time. | |
| Skogrand Cables? No experience, but I agree, they look and sound very good from my demo at Axpona last week! Eager to see what others have to say who have used them for some time. | |
| Ryan 610,Sonus Faber Veneer 2.0 & Fritz Carbon The Ryan is excellent. Meet him at AXPONA last week. He knows his stuff. Cannot comment on the other two. In general I find Sonus Faber to be too polite (laid back and warm), for my tastes. | |
| Best Class A Amp under $2,000 used? How much power you looking for? Is weight a factor, age, color? | |
| Revel Ultima Salon 2 I have listened to them on several occasions. I agree with mofojo. They are very good. Best when paired with a great amp with large transformer, high current and slightly to the warm side of neutral. Think CODA, SimAudio, Pass Labs, Audio Research... | |
| Speakers Stands for the PSB Synchrony One B (bookshelfs) You can also experiment with tipping them up or down a few degrees. Notice how the soundstage changes for better or worse. Also check toe in for soundstage width and depth. Use music that you are very familiar with that has good spatial cues for h... | |
| Sonus Faber vs Focal and maybe even Dynaudio or PSB I have owned several pairs of Dynaudio speakers in the past 15 years. Take a good listen to the Contour 1.4s, Special 25 and C1.SonusFaber would be my second choice. The SF are less dynamic and much warmer than the Dynaudios, IMO.I also recommend ... | |
| My Dog Broke-in My New Purist Audio Bi-Wired Cables I am sorry for your loss 😩 Lesson learned I guess. How much you want for the dog??? | |
| Best amp pairing with Aerial Acoustics Speakers? Stick with Class "A" topography and a toroidal power supply. The Plinius 301 is a great amp! You could likely keep it forever. | |
| Axpona Show Music Demos Whatever happened to the AXPONA Show music demo's and pictures from 2009-2012??? I cannot find them on the current site. There were some great demos that I would like to use the app Shazam on to find out the title and artist. | |
| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? +1 for IsoAcoustics monitor stands. I have also had great success with using 100% clear silicone to fill various hollow steel speaker stands 60-75% full. Start listening when you get to fifty plus percent. Once the bass tightens up and the soundst... | |
| Looking at sub $200 power cables. +1 on the above. IME you should use 10 awg on the amp and from the wall to the Furman. 12 or 14 awg should be fine for your pre and source as they draw low amounts of current. Read up on what people have to say about different brands of cable so t... | |
| Is there a reliable CD that is safe and works?? Also a CD laser cleaner?? Follow the above suggestions. I have had great success using eye glass cleaner on a Q tip or soft eye glass cloth. Been using a Memorex CD lens cleaner with little brushes on the disc for years along with compressed air. Good luck 😀 | |
| CD Copy Nero Could be better, worse or the same. It all depends upon a myriad of factors relating to your gear, your hearing, the media being burned, the Codec chosen and  the playback mechanism. If you can tell a difference in a blind study with 55% accuracy ... | |
