| Wilson Sophia III - Will spikes break if titled? Assuming your Sophias are setup correctly in your room, the Ultra SS may be too low (even together with their optional bases) compared to the spikes, which are about 2.25 inches high, I believe. I know the Ultra 5s + bases are just about the corre... | |
| Speakers 12.5" or shorter, $1K new or used Those KEFs require tall stands to get the coaxial drivers at ear level. | |
| Speakers 12.5" or shorter, $1K new or used I just saw an ad by Independent Audio Video in Delaware (don't know them) selling a mint used pair of KEF LS50s for $850. Nothing can touch those speakers at their MSRP price or maybe even at twice that. | |
| WOW; great stuff at THE Show, Newport this weekend I am an old audiophile and it's funny to hear so many people liking reel-to-reel tape! Yes, analog at its finest is the best there is! | |
| Audio Research Reference 5SE reliability To add my 2c to Bifwynne's post and unless JL Audio has changed it, the JL Audio subwoofers impedance is an extremely low 1k Ohms. | |
| My HRT Music Streamer HD DAC is a game changer Kbuzz, I can see three choices right now for getting cleaner power to a bus-powered USB DAC: a simple and cheap way is to separate the DAC from the computer by a hub as Sircom suggested (however, the hub has to get its power from the grid and won'... | |
| My HRT Music Streamer HD DAC is a game changer HRT DACs are just a few of the relatively inexpensive ways to get into computer audio. To make the fight more competitive in this segment, M2tech just came out with a new 32bit/384kHz flash-drive size DAC, the $295 HiFace.I also think that any com... | |
| My HRT Music Streamer HD DAC is a game changer Dtc, I don't hear treble emphasis or harshness of any kind, but then again I'm an old guy and perhaps my ACI Sapphire XLs soft-dome tweeters need some help there too. Now that the DAC is fully broken-in, the sense of ambience, instrument body and ... | |
| My HRT Music Streamer HD DAC is a game changer Yes, I used it by itself for about two weeks and it was better than the Dragonfly and much better than my Squeezebox. Battery power makes a lot of difference, though. I had to buy a BIX550 as a backup because the KingRex only plays for 4-5 hours a... | |
| The absolute "best" filter/conditioner for digital Zd542 is right on the money. The Cable Co. may not carry everything (who does?), but they carry Pure Power+, Silver Circle Audio, Shunyata, Audio Magic, Running Springs, Audience and Furutech. The heavy hitters, in other words. | |
| Alternative for original Wilson Sophia I Spikes I would say either Stillpoints or Track Audio isolation feet. | |
| HI, VPI Classic 4 is it a great upgrade from 1 That is a great suggestion: Classic 3 plus a linear tonearm like the Bergmann Magne. | |
| Questions about tweaking Squeezebox software Have you tried the Squeezebox forums? | |
| Best Monitor not over 1K, new ot used More suggestions: ACI Sapphire XL. When new, easily competitive with two or three times their price. | |
| Why so many JL Audio Fathom subs for sale I wonder I agree with the Thiel post. However, I understand the integrator, which could be used with any speaker, is no longer made. |
