| Sonus Faber Olympica III or Vienna Acoustics Lists Interesting that those are three of the same speakers that I listened to at different hi end shops in the summer of 2019. All of them have appeal and certain strengths, but the Olympica III and the B&W left me wanting more, just didn't feel th... | |
| Best DAC for around $2,500 or less I am sure you could find a used Bryston BDA 3 at your upper limit and the performance and versatility that this dac provides is very hard to beat in that price range. I bought one last summer and have really enjoyed it in the 12 months that I have... | |
| Are Zesto Preamplifiers in the same league as VAC? I would think the Zesto would be a better buy if you tend to change amps more frequently because of its output impedance and the fact that it has the selectable gain settings available at your fingertips makes it a very versatile unit. The VAC is ... | |
| Planned to upgrade to DeVore Gibbon X, but concerned about comment of base leanness I have a set of the Devore Gibbon X in a 19 x 20 x 9 foot room and have no issues with the bass control in the room. If anything I will say that a lot of people don't realize how much of an affect an amplifier can have in this regard. I went from ... | |
| Why are there no Reviews of the Pass Labs XP-22. Is there anyone with strong feelings? I was just wondering if anybody out there has tried the new Pass Labs XP 12 or XP 22 with class D amplification? Something like the Merrill Veritas/Thors or the Bel Canto 600M mono amps? Just curious as hell if this is something that could lead to... | |
| Would switching amps make a big difference? I would try a pair of Merrill Audio Veritas with your tube preamp and then buy the 11a's or better yet the 13a's down the road. | |
| Upgrade advice (from Paradigm signature s8v2 + aria 948s to... ??) Personally I really think that most of those speakers on your list would simply overpower your room. I think that you would be overspending to get something that is really made for a much bigger room. Maybe try looking at a GoldenEar Triton 1r or ... | |
| What are the top 3 dream speakers you wanna buy next regardless of price? For me personally something that is the ultimate has to sound and look exquisite at the same time. I really can't have something that sound beautiful but is ugly as hell to look at.Kharma Enigma VeyronEgglestonWorks Ivy Signature SERaidho 3.1Any o... | |
| 3 great tube preamps. Which would you purchase? I am also on a very narrow path to find the right tube preamplifier for my class D monos from Merrill Audio that I just purchased a couple of months ago. The funny thing is every person I talk to gives a different response or direction to go, but ... |
