| What speaker do you passionately want to demo? More Fyne dealers popping up everyday. Jim Smith of Get Better Sound has been a Tannoy fan and for years and had Canterbury speakers ($30k). He would also use Joseph Audio Perspectives ($18k); what I heard when I was in his detached, state of the ... | |
| Budget tower speakers that rock! Klipsch Premiere Reference. When you get a little more money and have light DIY skills, get an upgrade kit from GR Research. Now you will have a world class, budget rock speaker.My older son is a pro EDM artist (talking about loud with lots of low... | |
| Wireworld Platinum Starlight 8 USB I have the 0.6M and 1.0M in my home and can't hear a difference. I agree, outstanding product, well worth the wait. | |
| Recommendation for Class-A integrated amp +1 on the Coda. I have yet to find a speaker that it will not play well with. Why limit your speaker selection with relatively low output integrated amps when you can be set for life with the Coda.Building a system based on resale value is one of ... | |
| Tannoy Turnberry SE vs Kensington SE - Semi Review Anyone considering Tannoy should audition similarly priced products by Fyne Audio.I know one Canterbury owner that auditioned, preferred and purchased Fyne F703 speakers after an audition. | |
| Hearing Aids I wish I had gone with a Widex model; anything but the Siemens Signia aids that an audiologist talked me into.No ability to tweak the music setting at home. Must be done by audiologist, which amounts to making guesses at the office. Back and forth... | |
| Unison Research S6 or Leben CS-300F or Manley Stingray II??? I haven't heard the other two but the best sound I've had with Larsen 8.2 speakers was with a current production Stingray. Many other high quality tube and solid state amps have been in this system. Unfortunately, for loud orchestral or rock, it r... | |
| Three cheers for Keith Herron There is always Herron gear in my home. Currently driving Larsen 8.2 speakers with Herron VTSP-360 and M2 monos in my living room. Great gear from a great guy. | |
| Which cartridge for Graham 2.2 arm? Excellent choice. For fun, I put a Grado Opus3 on my Graham 2.2 mounted on a full Pedersen modified (and other mods) Michell Orbe SE. I ask folks how much they think the cartridge costs. Answers so far are $600 - $3k. The Opus3 retails for $275.Hi... | |
| Preamp for ATCSCM40A I agree with those that suggest addressing cordage issues first. I've had uniformly good experience with Wireworld products. I also agree that your best bet is staying within the Naim brand if you decide to upgrade your line stage. With that said,... | |
| Tone of Shindo I can think of at least a dozen, some for far less money. | |
| Wall shelf for VPI Super Scoutmaster? Instead of the bamboo shelf, 1.5" think hard maple butcher block shelfs can also be provided instead of the standard 1/2" bamboo. | |
| Wall shelf for VPI Super Scoutmaster? If you want longer standards and more mounting holes, that can easily be done for an up charge. | |
| Wall shelf for VPI Super Scoutmaster? BTW, I have an original Mana that has easily held much heavier turntables that yours assuming you mount it to the wall correctly. | |
| Wall shelf for VPI Super Scoutmaster? I know someone who makes an exact duplicate of the Mana wall shelf but with a bamboo shelf, not the silly glass one. Powder coated any color you want. Very close to the price Mana was charging over 20 years ago. PM me. |
