| Need recommendation for a CD player Bryston is about to release the BCD-3, which I expect to be excellent. Or find a used Ayre. Or go Marantz SA8005. | |
| Shopping for new speakers Joseph AudioPMCVienna AcousticsDynaudioProAcI heard a couple of the SF Venere's last year, and frankly--this is just my personal opinion--I thought them engineered down to sound big and technicolor for a "bargain" price. SF has changed a lot over... | |
| Help Choosing Speakers For many years I drove the ProAc Response 2.5s very nicely indeed with an 11 watt amp from Cary. | |
| Harbeth C7es3 vs PMC Twenty.22 comparisons? I know these aren't the same models, but FWIW here's a comparison of Harbeths and PMCs excerpted from a post of mine from April 2015.The Harbeth Super HL5 Plus were a real surprise. I don’t want to use the word bright, so let’s just say that they ... | |
| GoldenEar Triton One Stereo5: you miss my point.At the audition that I was describing, the B&Ws just happened to be in the same room (so easy to hook up), and the CM10s were--of the selection there--the closest in price to the Tritons.I wasn't recommending the B&a... | |
| GoldenEar Triton One Whatever you decide, be sure to audition the T1s beside at least one other brand of speaker under the same conditions.I listened to some T2s at a local dealer a while ago, and was impressed. Then we moved to B&W CM10, and there was no comparis... | |
| record weight .... correct weight? Surely this would depend, at least to some extent, on what kind of platter bearing the turntable uses. I'm no engineer, but I would have thought that some of the heavier weights might negatively affect some designs of bearing. | |
| Luxman Class A Integrated Slight Buzzing Noise Deedo--I have found your posts very interesting and illuminating. Transformer hum and buzz has, off and on, bothered me for years. All the way back to when I owned an Adcom 535 (long time ago). I had a big Nackamichi for about a day (re-badged Thr... | |
| How NOT to sell an item on Audiogon When listing cables of any type, be sure to describe how mellifluous they are, but omit any reference to their length either in the title or the description. Based on the photos alone (coiled only, please), audiophiles like a good guessing-game.Wh... | |
| How NOT to sell an item on Audiogon Use generic pictures lifted from the manufacturer's website and/or only a picture of the shipping box. At all costs be sure not to specify which of the three factory colors the item you're selling comes in.Rate the item a 7/10 but be entirely sile... | |
| power amp watt range is for the Proac Response 2.5 If you look at the label on the back, ProAc specifies 25-200W.I drove mine for years with 14W SET from Cary. | |
| Audio and Vinyl Shops in Charlottesville VA There is one audio store. Stereotypes. Their main brands are B&W, Macintosh, Classe. Really esoteric stuff! Their used section is worth a glance.At Crutchfields, in their new store, you don't even listen to components any more, you listen to a... | |
| Better 2-channel music 851C review here.http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/cambridge-audio-azur-851c-cd-playerdac/Just jump to the section on "Listening" and see what you think. | |
| Sonus Faber Liuto Or Vienna Acoustics Mozart Gran As others will no doubt say, this is very far from the ideal way of buying expensive loudspeakers.That being said, if it's any help, I listed to Liutos and VA Beethoven Baby Grands in same room with same equipment. It was a close run thing, but ul... | |
| Chapman Speakers? "Twoleftears, What other speakers drew you into the music better than the T-5s?"Top of the list would be the Vienna Acoustic Beethoven Baby Grand Symphony Edition, and the PMC twenty.24. If you're looking higher, a used pair of the VA Liszts would... |
