Thus, my inq... | |
| Boulder 866 experience? Users? I've owned the Boulder 866 with the onboard digital for about five months or so and just love it. I'll cut to the chase with my appraisal: it is the most correct and complete presentation of music that I've ever had in my room. For the relatively... | |
| Best integrated for my needs???? I have the Boulder 866 and just love it. The onboard digital is also extremely nice, making a DAC unnecessary. I'd highly recommend an audition before you make a decision. | |
| What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard? The Boulder 866 is just stunning. | |
| Member Almarg passed away last night This outpouring of love and admiration comes as no surprise. Al was both the smartest and the kindest among us. We shall not look upon his like again. | |
| Update on Audiogon Member Almarg Thanks for the update, David. This is crushing news. Everyone who has been around here for any length of time knows what Al has meant to this forum and what a friend he has been to countless audiophiles for such a long time. I never had the pleasu... | |
| Ry Cooder & V.M. Bhatt - A Meeting By The River IS AMAZING! Agreed. For another sonic treat, take a listen to Cooder's Paris, Texas soundtrack. | |
| Power Cord Upgrade for Inakustik 3500P? @rdoc We were typing our posts at the same time. Thanks for your comments on the 2404. That one is certainly on my short list and would obviously seem to be a great match. | |
| Power Cord Upgrade for Inakustik 3500P? It's a 2502, which I believe is the cord being shipped with the unit these days.If folks have experiences with the 2404, that would certainly be welcome. But I am also wondering if anyone's tried higher end cables from Shunyata, Synergistic Resear... | |
| Power Cord Upgrade for Inakustik 3500P? Not sure why this posted twice. Also not sure if I can delete one of them. Edit, yes, but is there a delete function?Mods, can you zap one of these? | |
| A wonderful gift! As a fellow lover of Coltrane, Cecil Taylor, and Sun Ra, this is my dream collection. What an incredible treasure! | |
| Name an artist that had a great debut album and a great final album Big StarVelvet Underground | |
| is this the greatest live band of all time? Jason and the Scorchers, circa 1984Los Lobos, for about thirty-three years and counting | |
| Best DAC for around $2,500 or less You might be able to snag a used Lampizator Amber 3 in your price range. Otherwise, the Audio Mirror Tubadour is an excellent suggestion. I had them both, and they are very close in performance. | |
| Audio envy cables I bought half a dozen Audio Envy power cords about six months ago on a whim, replacing cords that cost much, much more--like five or six times more--and I've been very pleased with them. Very natural and uncolored. The music just flows through the... |
