| Why is used audio equipment so undesirable? Must be working with the wrong dealers. Many of us are happy to take trades vs. new gear. It does depend on the item as really obscure stuff is hard to sell or we take on consignment. But if it is mainstream gear, even expensive mainstream gear... | |
| Playback Edelweiss in the house I have my unit back from my customer. I have done some non-critical listening and my feeling is that it is pretty fabulous but need to sit down for some critical listening. Been delayed due to COVID. My daughter brought it home from pre-s... | |
| ADG amp I am an AGD dealer and am highly biased, obviously. I have the Tempo here and it is a very good sounding amp and handles tougher impedance speakers well. Not a hint of brightness with AGD. Agree with testrun. Alberto is a great guy and is incr... | |
| Vivid Audio Speakers I haven't seen this thread with the other customer having an issue and can't speak about the process followed. Normally, your first line of engagement with any issue should be your dealer. If you contacted your dealer and received poor support, ... | |
| Vivid Audio Speakers @daveyf You are certainly welcome to disagree. You are stating that they are low tech because you looked inside and I assume did not see the bracing you expect when looking at an expensive speaker made from wood. And, when you remove the crossov... | |
| Vivid Audio Speakers Vivid and WB are different. Borg are amazing but distinctly different sound profiles tonally. Vivid drifts a bit brighter than WB. It is usually a tougher load to drive in terms of impedance and the bass is stunningly good, as good as most othe... | |
| Jadis DAC Jadis DACs are generally highly regarded. If I recall, they use ESS chips which can be a little cold/bright and the combination of that chip with a tube stage can be really awesome. I don't know if that model is going to be dramatically better... | |
| Server/Streamer for Rockna Wavelight I am a Rockna dealer and have the Wavelight here on demo. No news on the Wavelight server. Wavedream Server would do the job quite well. I have had a lot of success with the Chord 2go/2Yu streamer as a Roon Endpoint and Roon Nucleus or Nucleu... | |
| Interested in finding a NAIM dealer on the east coast. The issue is the XS-3 and Supernait are out-of-stock with no estimated delivery date. Basically, if they don't have it in-stock or are willing to sell a floor model, I have no idea when you would be able to get one. Audiotronics in Norwalk CT ... | |
| Interested in finding a NAIM dealer on the east coast. There are oodles of Naim dealers. It is not a particularly expensive line to acquire. At the moment, stock is extremely hard to get and a large number of items have been out-of-stock for multiple months. Secondarily, unless you are above a certai... | |
| Playback Edelweiss in the house So we are starting the break-in process over again. A customer borrowed mine and is keeping it until we get enough hours on his. Should have it back just after AXPONA, obviously fully broken in. At that time I will report completely on the soun... | |
| Playback Edelweiss in the house The Merlot had been discontinued. I asked about it explicitly. I am not sure Playback is planning on introducing a new unit in that price range. | |
| Time clock sync devices I haven’t used a transport since 2019. Haven’t tested it but theoretically it should have the same sort impact. | |
| Time clock sync devices Clocking will have a very significant impact. The infinitesimal amount of jitter is the thing holding elite systems back. The stepped up clock in my server was game changing and makes very DAC I have had here sound better. | |
| DAC Merry Go 'Round- why I stopped at Weiss In the end, all that counts is what you like. Cheers to everyone who has found something they are really enjoying! |
