| Classical Music for Aficionados Field 3, 4, 5. Now he seems to be channelling a little bit of Beethoven mixed in with the Chopin. I like O'Conor as a pianist a lot (on the Telarc label), but I don't think I really like the Onyx recordings very much. Perhaps O'Rourke is better. | |
| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K How far away are you from Ferndale, WA? It would be fantastic to audition all Daedalus speakers on site. | |
| full-scale orchestral music—best test of speakers’ potential? @mamboni Very interesting observations. I wish my preamp had a phase button so I could switch back and forth easily. | |
| I admit it, I get skin orgasms. frisson ~ “escalofrío” in Spanish, which captures the idea of cold shivers down your back. Goosebumps, neckhair, and backshivers all together (rare) are the big 3-0. | |
| Best building material for vibration free shelving I don't think of Daedalus as a tweaky company, but he does purvey these.https://www.daedalusaudio.com/accessories The wood insert sits on 3 ball bearings inside. | |
| Anybody have experience with using Iso-Acoustics Iso-pucks under Maggies? If this is ithttps://www.psaudio.com/askpaul/rmaf-2018-and-isolation-demo/ they were using Gaia's. | |
| Power Conditioners: Audioquest Niagara 5000 or Shunyata Denali 6000S I too was put off by not infrequent reports of transformer hum in several models, including Equitech and Torus, who are another industry staple. I was able to try out (with full return privileges) a Furman IT Ref 15, and it was completely quiet, ... | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) The Super Nines have incredible bass extension for their size, but when driven at high volume--as they were at CAF--individual instruments and musical lines tend to get lost in the overall wall of sound. | |

| full-scale orchestral music—best test of speakers’ potential? Sure, voice is crucial, and a speaker that can't do voice, well...But there are speakers that do voice very well that struggle with full orchestra. I've yet to come across a speaker where the reverse is true. | |
| Power Conditioners: Audioquest Niagara 5000 or Shunyata Denali 6000S For me it came down to a choice between the Isotek and an Audience Adept Response AR6, and the Isotek won out. Still, I'm surprised to see no recommendations of the Audience here. | |
| Anyone used these audio ceramic slow blow fuses from Littlefuse? Little fuss when you use Littlefuse fuses. | |
| Need Preamp and Amp to Match Vandersteen 3A Signature Speakers @darmento If you don't think it's confusing in here, you haven't been here long enough.Another recommendation then: Rogue Cronus Magnum II. | |
| ... what is Settling Time in cables and interconnects... Once upon a time this thread was about settling time (rather than burn-in), i.e. time a fully burned-in cable needed to settle after it was disconnected and/or moved. | |
| Devore Nines vs. 0/93's What reason for the move? Other than the O-series is more geared to lower-powered tubes.Remember too that there is now a Super Nine, with incredible bass for the size, but a presentation, when loud, that tends to smoosh everything together. |
