| Looking for my End Game Speaker Calgarian5355 That is a great list of speakers, and a great idea to spend time at Axpona.....I live in Chicago and go every year. Definitely spend a good amount of time with the Joseph Audio speakers, they almost always demo well. I would also p... | |
| A brief review of GR Research Bully I've not heard the Bully speakers, so can't comment on them. I did have Danny upgrade the crossover on a pair of vintage Infinity RS Kappa 7s, and in the end they were expensive. Part of that cost was my choice, Danny offered me a couple of level... | |
| Phono preamp for a Denon 103R cartridge. You seem to be familiar with Aric Audio, why don't you give Aric Kimball a call to see if his Super Phono preamp might fit the bill for you. At $2,500 it's more than your stated budget | |
| Holographic DAC With Air And Decay ++++++1 Denafrips Pontus II (latest edition). I have had mine for a few years, and it is still one of the most musical and enjoyable DACs I've ever heard.....and for the $2,000 cost, is a ridiculous deal. I run mine out of a Denafrips Iris DDC (an... | |
| ???YOUR Personal Favorite???Why??? ++++1 for Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene speakers, have been thrilled each and every time I've listened to them......seem to be a little less sensitive to electronics. | |
| XLO Signature and Reference Interconnects I did order a set of the XLO Reference 3.1 RCAs from Parts Connexion (thank you mclinguy), I'll test them and see if I want to order another set | |
| XLO Signature and Reference Interconnects mclinnguy Thank you for the input, much appreciated | |
| New Radiant Acoustics Clarity 6.2’s Wow, they do look interesting. They seem to use the same Purifi woofer (or close to) that Buchardt Audio uses in their Anniversary 10, which I am quite familiar with; and really do like a lot.....and is also Danish. I have the Buchardt Audio S400... | |
| Eversolo or Aurender: Options and Opinions tony1954 Thank you for the update, and great that the repair was minimal......many times the surprise is the other direction | |
| Preamp upgrade tom2441 And my opinion is not to dismiss great preamps from AR, CJ, BAT, Atmosphere, Backert Labs, or the like. There is just something magical about obsessive creators, who use the highest quality components, in a hand made format. Vishay and T... | |
| power cable tryout High fidelity cables has me wondering..... need suggestions now glennewdick I could not fault anyone for going with Snake River cables, their reputation is stellar and deserved. I'd also consider having a top of the line Furutech cable built by VH Audio (I bought the components, and will be building a couple... | |
| ??? How Much Would You Spend ??? If I didn't already have extra components, and I was starting from scratch? I would look HEAVILY at the Dutch & Dutch 8C speaker system. They are an all in one solution with streamer, DAC, room correction DSP, amplifiers, all built into the s... | |
| Integrated amp for 2500-3000 Consider the Heaven 11 Billie amplifier, and watch videos of their reviews. Tube preamp section, 120 WPC 8 ohms, 215 WPC 4 ohms......$2,000 new. I set up an affordable system for a friend using the Billie amp, and it really is excellent | |
| New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid I'd certainly look at Joseph Audio, Pulsar 2 Graphene for standmounts $10,000, or Perspective 2 Graphene for floorstanders $17,000. The only brand of speakers that most will agree are amazing speakers for their price point. Sonus Faber, but I can... | |
| Preamp upgrade jelliott78 I would highly recommend you look at these tube preamps. All are hand made, point to point wired, using the highest quality components: Aric Audio Motherlode II (RCA only $5,475), Aric Audio Motherlode XL (RCA & XLR $6,475), Don S... |
