| New SR Orange fuse ... Black, blue, orange... I'm feeling thoroughly bruised. | |
| Paradigm 3f, KEF reference 3, Monitor Audio PL300II @verdantaudio Please elaborate on the ways in which they are "radically different". As you're a designer, I'm interested in your "take" on this issue. | |
| Harbeth Super HL5+...thoughts I heard the 40.2's at CAF 2018 in a regular sized hotel room, and they didn't sound bloated, at least on the musical fare that they played (I went back a couple of times). Vu (of Deja Vu) stated they need at least a couple of feet from side walls... | |
| Was the Snell Secret a Wide Baffle? Anyone here ever hear the Trenner and Friedl Isis? | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Elgar #2, which I definitely prefer to #1. Sinopoli recording sounds good; Larghetto movement seems at moments to be channeling some Mahler (is it Elgar or is it Sinopoli?). | |
| Focal Spectral 40th Print, I'm afraid. | |
| Anyone heard Schiit's Aegir? Help! Where's @georgehifi when you need him?! | |
| Matching Gear matter to you? Surely the important thing here is output and input impedances, and this is going to come into play most acutely between the preamp and amp. Although a great many do, not *all* preamps and amps work well together, causing premature rolloff (p.r.,... | |
| Things that make you go, "Hmmmmm...." Obviously if you buy used there won't be anything like as significant a loss in value as buying new. I agree that CD players don't become collectors' pieces (and hence appreciate in value) except for the very first original Sony, for its curiosit... | |
| Was the Snell Secret a Wide Baffle? Let's not forget the Sonus Faber Stradivari and Cremona Elipsa.@prof Both those speaker lines seem to produce a richer/fuller-than-usual sonic presentation, where instruments have more size and sense of body.You put into better words exactly the i... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados For a change from the 17C, I’ve started an Elgar survey. Kind of fascinating to go back and see what CDs I bought years and years ago, when I was guided primarily by the successive editions of the Penguin Stereo Guide and reviews in Gramophone (be... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers The best way to get "end game" speakers is to go out and buy some speakers you cannot really afford, and then promptly retire. That way you won't be able to afford to replace them even if you wanted to. | |
| cables for GUITARISTS from audio companys Just read about Audio Envy and how the Captain got his start in cable production. Then contact them... | |
| New school Or old School DAC Or Cd player? It all depends on your plans. If you're going to rip your CDs to digital files, and/or do a lot of streaming, then DAC. If you have a large collection of CDs and simply plan to continue playing them, then a player makes a lot of sense (among oth... | |
| Was the Snell Secret a Wide Baffle? Here’s a quote from Peter Comeau, the guy who designed the recent Lintons."Th[e] larger ported box, with its subsequent increased baffle size, helps solve a major problem in modern speakers, namely, the baffle step.I grew up with large speakers wi... |
