| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) The best stands come from this firm in Britain. They make a wide range of dedicated and non-specific stands. https://www.customdesign.co.uk/speaker-stands-acoustic-steel-hifi-isolation-platform-speaker-stand-supports-hifi-stands-hifi-isolation-s... | |
| Classical piano solo—Your one favorite performance and recording There's a rather good movie out there called Eroica, made by Simon Cellan Jones. As you might suspect, it features among other things a performance of that symphony. For those just starting out with classical music, it demonstrates very well, I ... | |
| Recommend a good tube power amp in the 100 wpc range for under $4k ICON AUDIO. Very well reviewed. And reasonably priced. https://www.musicdirect.com/search/?query=icon#/icon/0/score/desc/?tab=product&category_names_na_str=Equipment,Amplification | |
| Digital is far better than vinyl One of the major DAC manufacturers (I can't reveal which) is currently working on a little add-on box that will introduce subtle pops and ticks and barely perceptible needle-in-groove surface noise into the digital signal, so that streamers can ha... | |
| Open Baffle Experience @soix They were almost certainly the X4's, which is what Spatial has been using recently at shows, coupled with the LTA ZOTL40+ integrated. Earlier in this thread I posted a video of that same combo at the Pacific show. Because of supply issues ... | |

So I wonder if technically it is an AOC cable, though I’ve also read great things about it. The WIreworld Stellar uses purely fiber optic conductors and is also rated 2.1. There... | |
| What exactly is a speaker box sound? Some designers remain, errr, heretical. | |
| Does an Audioquest Niagra 1200 limit amplifier dynamics? I have the Puritan 156 and the Isotek Sigmas EVO3, and while the Isotek is good, the Puritan is better (and less expensive). | |
| Integrated amp for Proac D2 Try the Belles Signature integrated. Call Johnny at Audio Connection. He knows Belles and Proac very well. | |
| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) I wonder if it was Fyne. Fyne provides competition to the Mofi both below and above their price point. | |
| Open Baffle Experience @mwatsme The recordings were made by Audiogon member @shkong78 at the Pacific Audio Show. I don't know what he used to make them. To me the Spatials sound very good and are at the very least competitive with the Voxativs. | |
| Classical piano solo—Your one favorite performance and recording John O'Conor's traversal of the Beethoven sonatas on Telarc is very good. As are plenty of other recordings. | |
| Open Baffle Experience Then compare same track on 3x more expensive Voxativ. | |
| Open Baffle Experience How does this sound to you guys? | |
| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) Tannoy may have nothing at that price point, but Fyne certainly does, below and just above. |
