| Merry Christmas! Already done with Roman Saturnalia/winter solstice. The Fathers of the Church were 3-4 days off, but calendars back then weren't super reliable. | |
| Tannoy Prestige Stirling You could also take a look at the newer Fyne brand, which has been getting a lot of new press. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Listening to the relatively recent Bruckner 8 with Remy Ballot and the Upper Austrian Youth Symphony Orchestra on Gramola (on SACD). So far so good. Very natural sound. I have Wand and Haitink on hand if I feel like a comparison.@newbee The Vie... | |
| My stereo receiver is a little too bright. Can a cable help me out? Excellent advice to run it for a few hundred hours before you make any decisions.But in answer to your question: the "usual suspects" would be Cardas Cross, Golden Cross, Golden Reference, Acoustic Zen Matrix, Triode Wire Labs, mid-range Wireworld... | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? I keep telling you guys, any riser made of any material (ceramic, acrylic, wood, plastic, paper, etc.) that touches the floor, whether it's carpet, wood, tile, concrete, whatever, is not going to be as effective as suspending the cables from the c... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Up to Bruckner 7 and clearly my favorite so far.I know this is backwards, but those opening bars of the slow movement sound so Mahler-esque.I have the Chailly; thinking about getting the Giuliani/Vienna. Any other strong recommendations? | |
| Considering the option of "DSP speakers" Has anyone listened to the Dutch & Dutch speaker? | |

| Seating height and bass Or: move the couch back into position, and using the regular stands turn the speakers upside down. See what that sounds like. Might be horrible, but.... | |

| Upgrading a CD/SACD player with integral DAC Marantz is an excellent recommendation. I'd love to hear from someone who's heard the Ruby K1 and SA-10 side by side; the Ruby may be the sweet spot.Don't overlook Luxman, excellent machines plus again SACD. Luxman is about to introduce new mode... | |
| Is it a good idea to buy CD players over 10 years old even it is a reliable brand? For 3K you can get a very nice brand new or gently used CD player, whose sound will be very competitive and which will be guaranteed to keep playing a good deal longer. | |
| New to audio. Is there a good DAC that can produce layers of sound? You probably want an R2R tube-based DAC. MHDT and Audio Mirror are two distinct possibilities; Border Patrol would be another. Search the forum for various threads on these DACs--you'll find other relevant ones named there also. |
