| TANNOY will stop Hi-FI ? I respectably disagree. I know at least one person with good ears that went from Tannoy to Fyne after an audition. In most cases the Fyne choice was about half the price of the similar spec Tannoy. So if you have money to burn, ignore Fyne and bu... | |
| TANNOY will stop Hi-FI ? Thank you. BTW, my direct experience tells me that most of what Kevin Deal says should be taken with a grain of salt. He is first and foremost a marketing genius (I'm your super hip, foul mouthed buddy Uncle Kevin) along with Jason Stoddard (I cr... | |
| TANNOY will stop Hi-FI ? Anyone considering Tannoy should audition Fyne as well. I have a pair of Fyne Audio F703 speakers, made in Scotland. Incredible to listen to and beautiful to look at. Jim Smith of Get Better Sound and RoomPlay Reference uses Fyne F703 speakers in... | |
| Adding a Herron VTSP 3A/360 Preamplifier to the system. That's correct. Keith told me it's his last line stage revision. For those that haven't seen this, here's a great, recent interview from Keith's home: Keith Herron Interview | |
| Ideon No. You can add the REF10 or REF10 SE120 for better performance but I haven't tried either. | |
| Ideon Instead of paying $3900 for an "audiophile approved" clock, go with a better and less expensive pro audio solution. For example: Mutec MC3+ Smart Clock USB | |
| You own a store, you sell 2 brands, which? @cdc Exactly!!! | |
| Joseph vs Legacy in 7K range? Two different design philosophies and sound. Only you can know which you prefer through a proper audition. Picking speakers based on the opinions on this site is a recipe for disaster since speaker choice is your most important decision; it will d... | |
| New Kid on the Block Hardly new, been around for several years. I owned one and like others that came to the same conclusion, ifi is trying to fit too many things in one box. Crappy, second party interface. Mine failed within a month and I had to return it for a repla... | |
| Different R2R DACs I had the Sonnet Morpheus. I ended up selling it. A friend came to the same conclusion with his. Plenty of better sounding DACs for the same or less. | |
| Best Phono You've Heard Under $2200 Black Ice Audio F159. Includes electronic azimuth adjustment for for arms that don't allow for that (Rega, SME). | |
| Anyone Get a Degritter for Xmas? Go Estonia! Home of the Degritter. Small but very invovative country. I wish I could afford a Degritter. | |
| RCA interconnect recommendation "The rule of thumb is 10 - 15% of total budget." Nothing more than markeing nonsense. Sheesh... | |
| Best light weight full range speaker recommendation. If you have carpets, furniture moving carpet sliders make adjusting heavy speakers easy. Once you find the ideal position, replace the sliders with Iso Acoustic Gaia isolation footers and Bob's your uncle. Speaker/Furniture Carpet Sliders | |
| Tube Line Stage around $5k +1 Herron Audio. |
