| Starting my showroom again @nashvillehifi I will add my 2cents even though I know little about the inside of this industry. I am a successful entrepreneur and have experience in venture capital, though. I encourage you to follow your passion, but with some hard-stop cavea... | |
| Advice on Sterling LS3/6 I might add that Andrew did a phenomenal job packing up the pair of LS3/6 that I bought. Jeff Stake was a pleasure to do business with, too. | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? OP - I, too, was prepared to climb the upgrade ladder on streamers but have creased, at least for the time being. I went from a Bluesound Node 2i using its DAC, to using the Node 2i as a streamer but a Cambridge CXA81 DAC, to a miniDSP SHD stream... | |
| Weak link +1 for Bacch4Mac, but Edgar (the inventor) will tell you that you absolutely need to treat the first reflection points. Best of luck. | |
| New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid @OP - You might want to give some thought to an alternative option, namely Theoretica's Bacch4Mac sound processing system. It is The Absolute Sound 's 2024 product of the year: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xq48klNJ8i0 Here is Steve Guttenberg'... | |
| Speaker Suggestions for Next Move OP - I'd like to respectfully suggest that before you traded in your Klipsch speakers you consider another solution for your desired "scale in presentation." I have had the Theoretica Bacch4Mac application for spacial realism and the Bacch ORC fo... | |
| Is there Tannoy Magic / Should I buy a pair of Tannoys as "accessory" speaker? At Axpona '23 and '24 the larger floor-standing Tannoy's were stand-outs. I could have listened to them all day. Best of luck. | |
| Is It Worh Modding An Amp I had Ric Schultz mod my GaN1 and it sounds terrific, but if I had to sell it I wouldn't recover any of the $500 the mod cost. It's a risk. | |
| Advice on Sterling LS3/6 Sorry, my confusion. It's Doug Sterling who is retiring and shutting down Stirling Broadcasting, not Derek Hughes. Thanks for the correction. | |
| Advice on Sterling LS3/6 @grislybutter Jeff said to email or call him and he would see if Stirling can send another pair of LS3/6. Google Jeff Stake HiFi in Bloomington, IN | |
| Advice on Sterling LS3/6 Oh, the Bacch system is very interesting. Using it in a suboptimal room now, but with well-recorded tracks the effects are terrific. Imaging and soundstage are taken to a new level. To give just one example, in Lou Reed's Walk on the Wild Side, ... | |
| Advice on Sterling LS3/6 @yogiboy The Quicksilver amps look great, and reasonably priced. Funny you should mention the Van Alstine SET amps as I had my eye on them for awhile. Will check out both. @grislybutter I will ask Jeff if he can get another pair Thanks to ever... | |
| Advice on Sterling LS3/6 @yogiboy The reason for looking for a new power amp is that I've implemented the Bacch4Mac system. Edgar recommended that I not use the Gan1 even though I upgraded the RME interface to enable a coax out. Long story. Suffice it to say, I need an... | |
| Advice on Sterling LS3/6 I am very impressed pairing my modded Peachtree Gan1 with my Spendor SP3/5R2 speakers, so I thought I'd stay with the Gan or newer class D amps - but I'm open to tubes. Any recommendations? Budget is only about $2000, though. Used is fine. | |
| Advice on Sterling LS3/6 They really appear ideal for me. I told Jeff I'll take them. Many thanks for the comments. |
