| Integrated Amp to match with Magico A3 Luxman L-509x. | |
| Best wood under audio components? There were lots of Himalayan salt lamps in exhibitors' rooms at CAF. Was it just for atmosphere, or do they know something we don't know?(Synergistic Research, look out!) | |
| Rotel RCD-1570 cd player + RC-1572 Preamp Honestly, there's likely to be little difference. I've got to imagine the DAC in the integrated is similar to the DAC in the CD player. If that's the case, then it comes down to connections and cables. In an ideal world you'd have both balanced... | |
| Starting a second system The Fritz Carrera's were beautifully driven by 8 watts at CAF, so that Rogers integrated should work very well indeed. | |
| Dynaudio C20 vs other monitors in the 4-7k range And the Fritz Carrera 3 Be. See numerous comments in other recent threads. | |
| Paradigm Persona series The 40.2's sounded very, very good with CJ preamp and amp at CAF.The Vinnie Rossi preamp+monoblock combo is by all accounts very good (and should be, at its price), so I'm sure this is right. | |
| One speaker observation from the New York Hifi show. Almost without exception, if you pull the speakers further out, you'll get a greater depth of soundstage.(And for me that's important--I like speakers where the front plane of the soundstage is at or even a little behind the drivers, and where the... | |
| Anyone compared GoldenEar Triton 7 with Triton Reference? I know this opens a can of worms, but, why do you want to stick with GE?There's a chaotic, confusing world of myriad speakers out there. | |
| Any reviews of anticable power cables? You're not just limited to those two. There are plenty of woven power cables at different price points. See Russ Andrews, LessLoss; others will chime in with other manufacturers. | |
| Classical composers, symphonies @mamboni Pulled the Unicorn-Kanchana and Chandos off the shelf. How many other Audiogoners have 2 recordings of Gliere #3, I wonder. I checked the two Farberman CDs and visually they look OK. Haven't listened in a while, so must remedy that. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Moscheles concerto #3. The older Supraphon recording, rather than Hyperion. Surprising enjoyable. Mozart meets Romanticism. | |
| One speaker observation from the New York Hifi show. Toe-in or lack of same is also very often used to tame or heighten the treble. It all depends on the tweeter’s lateral performance and how much output drops off off-axis. To some degree this may outweigh imaging. Also, I think some speakers are sp... | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? At least that suggests (though doesn't prove) he's still in the country. Mobilize now, while you still can! | |
| What are you streaming tonight? BJH. There's a blast from the past. I actually saw them live in concert several eons ago. Must root out the LP from the archives. "Mockingbird", wasn't it? | |
| Is the NuPrime CDT 9 Pro a Best Kept Secret? Also does anyone know if this Nuprime makes the Schiit Gungnir click on Pause? |
