| Focal Maestro Utopia III vs. YG Acoustics Hailey 1.2 Completely agree with joelha. I too have owned a few different models of YG speakers. (Carmel, Kipod II sig, Anat III sig.) Before each upgrade my wife and I auditioned many speakers to see if we could find something we like more. Still using the... | |
| Lyra Etna SL vs. Transfiguration Proteus + Koetsu Urushi I had and really liked my Koetsu RSP, until I brought in both the Benz Gullwing and LPS. I preferred both of the Benz cartridges at a lower cost over the Koetsu. Between the two Benz's they were in my system for over 5 years total. IMO to get a c... | |
| Lyra Etna SL vs. Transfiguration Proteus + Koetsu Urushi tzh21y,The Air Tight Supreme is faster, more transparent, higher resolution of detail, still equally fleshed out and musical. The Opus 1 takes it up even a few more notches. I still have a new LPS for back up. | |
| Lyra Etna SL vs. Transfiguration Proteus + Koetsu Urushi I moved from the Benz LPS (4 years) to an Air Tight PC-1 Supreme. Also owned/used the Koetsu RSP for a while. I listened to a lot of cartridges and couldn't find one I liked more than the Benz, until the Air Tight Supreme. I would try and listen t... | |
| Is there any danger in leaving a class D amp on unattended for ten days? My system is on all the time. Like markalarsen, the only time the system is off is if the power goes out. | |
| Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass) BAT, Tenor Audionet. | |
| Power Cords for Parasound I 100% agree with Matt M. I use eight (either Magic or Silver Resolution) Signal cable cords in my System. Best deal for power cords I have found. The Silver Resolution add a little more top end than the Magic cords but they are both excellent cab... | |
| TW Acustic Phono Users A couple on my list for running multiple arm/cartridges are the Thoress Phono Enhancer MK.2EMT JPA66 MKII | |
| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one The Audionet WATT integrated is very good, and shouldn't be to hard to get an audition. Good luck with your purchase! | |
| Speaker cables for BAT - Dynaudio After living with either mostly or all BAT systems for over 13 years, and using many different cables, I preferred the Audioquest the best. The Mont Blanc speaker cables are very good and would probably be in your budget used. | |
| Lee Morgan Documentary That was a really good show! | |
| Wilsons are the best speakers in the world inna,Lansche, Focal, and MBL didn't make "my" top 5 or 6 speaker list. ;) | |
| Wilsons are the best speakers in the world When at their best, i think the newest Wilsons are top five or six. Along with YG Acoustics, Magico, Marten, Kharma, Vivid. | |
| Magico S5 vs KEF Blade 2 vs TAD Evo One vs YG Kipod II Sig w/pwr bass Coin toss between kipod and Magico for me. | |
| Best Budget RCA cables When comparing entry level Audioquest, Blue Jean Cables, and Signal Cables, i thought the Www.signalcable.com were the best. The analog Two's in both rca and xlr are really nice cables. |
