| Need recommendation for amplifier @cscrutinizer Take another look at Rogue. A Cronus Magnum II knocked my Ayre AX-7 off its perch. And if you have the $$, RP-5 + Stereo 100. | |
| HOW TO POSITION 2 PAIRS OF SPEAKER FOR ALTERNATE LISTENING We've all seen those crowded demo rooms in stores, with 4 or 5 speakers x2 lined up like soldiers on parade. Unless there's free space to both sides, there's going to be some deleterious effects. I'd rather put some of some furniture sliding pad... | |
| 20 Year Old Amplifiers compared to 2017 If they haven't had a set of new capacitors installed, the 20-year-olds will be at a distinct disadvantage in any listening comparisons... | |
| Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 1) @guidocorona I assumed (and still believe) that @clearthink's posts were pure parody. | |
| Need recommendation for amplifier If you want class D, I'd look at whatever you can afford in the Bel Canto range.For something more conventional, yet excellent for the price, check out the different stereo and mono offerings from Odyssey. Again you can tailor to price, or you mi... | |
| Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 1) @jond he'll never tell you, because the wonders of 3D Tru-Fi are strictly limited to a few, a very few, initiates, who know how to take the right micro-steps to implement the electronic dimensionality correctly. | |
| Biggest impact: moving from integrated to separates @asp307 Agreed that moving from a 2.5K integrated to a 3.5k pre-amp connected to a 3.5K amp *should* make a considerable difference, but in this "hobby" I’ve found that dollar-based logic doesn’t always work out the way you’d expect it to. Still, ... | |
| Tube preamp recommendations $3K-$7K range Rogue RP-5. | |
| Biggest impact: moving from integrated to separates I tend to agree with @helomech. As a CMII owner, I have inevitably wondered what it would be like to replace it with an RP-5 and Stereo 100, but until I get a chance to hear that combo, I’ve concluded that the difference would in all likelihood b... | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? What we need is an informant from inside the company to spill the beans to the Washington Post. | |
| Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 1) How envious I am of those initiates of Tru-Fi and 3D listening--those "happy few", from what I can see those very, very few. It's a shame that one needs more than Statement Audio Pro measurement, 24k golden ears, a sixth sense, and a micrometer i... | |
| Analog integrated amp recommendation Sim 600i or Ayre AX-5 [not Twenty]--used. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados I've been plugging through the Hyperion 19C piano concerto series, with many worthy but ultimately forgettable pieces. Last night listened to some Scharwenka concertos, that were surprisingly good. On Collins, though I see he's on Hyperion as we... | |
| Why does unplugging/replugging TT leads from tube phono pre-amp reset dead channel? As others have said, clearly the movement (wiggling) caused when you attach or detach RCA plugs to the sockets is causing something to touch and hence reconnect. | |
| Set me straight, don't pull punches For starters, it sounds to me as if the Peachtree is faulty. You've swopped in a different integrated, and it's louder? Have you tried the same line-source through the several different line-source inputs? Process of elimination is the only way... |
