| Musical fidelity M6SI problem. I missed this note. Glad to hear you are happy. It is a heck of a good amp. I do think the M6 phono stage is a big step up but if you are happy with what you have...awesome! | |
| Brighter sound then Bryston DAC I would look at the Chord Qutest. You might need to wait for one as they have been routinely out of stock but Chord is an extremely dynamic and forward DAC. | |
| Looking for CD player If you want just a CD player, the Musical Fidelity M3s CD is a nice unit and can be had for $1500. Good internal DAC and nice transport. I have one that I use as a transport at Audio Shows. This is currently out of stock at the distributor but i... | |
| Can Any Bookshelf Speaker Be Used Nearfield? I have a few folks who are building nearfield desk systems that I am working with at the moment. No, not all monitors make good near field monitors. Any speaker where dispersion or reflections are required for image to come together are bad choi... | |
| Raidho TD4.2 I have spent time with the 3.2 and 3.8, not the 4.2 and I am a Raidho dealer. The TD series is all about accuracy and massive images. They are wonderfully detailed but not grainy of fatiguing. Bass is tight and refined but not quite full range.... | |
| Amp(s) to go with Joseph Audio Pearls Josephs like power. If you want a neutral to warm sound I would look at AVM. The Ovation SA 6.3 is an incredible power amp and is on the lower end of your budget. Plenty of power and wonderful levels of detail. If you want something a touch mo... | |
| Intimate, warm and holographic alternative With your dimension and the need for flexibility in terms of near wall placement combined with your bias toward high sensitivity speakers, I would look at Avantgarde Zero XD 1s. They are comfortably in your price range. Are 104dB so very easy to... | |
| Best bang for buck phono preamp for Rega Planar 3 Turntable Vincent Pho 8 was awesome with an Elys2 and Exact2. If your budget is a touch higher, Vincent makes a nicer model with tube stage in it. Great value units. | |
| Intimate, warm and holographic alternative What is your amplification or will that be selected to work with your speakers? This is important. The amp I would pick to driver Harbeths might make your ears bleed driving Klipsch. These speakers have wildly different sound profiles and se... | |
| did you sell your PS Audio NuWave phono unit? Yes I did | |
| Woo Audio - Best headphone amps ever? Woo makes undeniably incredible headphone amps. I would like to do a side-by-side comparison between the Woos and the Angstrom Stella headphone amp. If anyone has done this, I would be curious to hear your POV. | |
| What are Your Favorite Tweeters? I love Eton's HD tweeters that are a ceramic and magnesium composite. They are surprisingly natural sounding given the hard material. My feeling is they give me the detail of beryllium but without a metallic edge that needs to be dealt with. I u... | |
| Japanese Audio It is important to note that this is not a unique thing to Japan. There happen to be several Japanese brands but there are tons of others from outside of Japan. Art Audio, Sugden, KR, Canor, Audion, First Watt, Triode Labs, Raven, Sophia, First ... | |
| preamp recommendation for bedroom set amp hey, I am the new importer for Art Audio. The Jota is a lovely amp. We encourage you to look at very low gain with a tube stage for pairing with the any of our SETs. The volume control is just a volume POT in a passive stage. The recommended p... | |
| Help in deciding between these two cartridges for an upgrade I had noise issues with a Cadenza Blue on a Rega table. There was a hum that is not present on my current AVM table and wasn't present on my Art Audio table so it is definitely not the phono stage of cartridge. Just thought I would mention this ... |
