| The Aurorus Audio Quasar @goofyfoot -Aurorusaudio is arranging a listener's tour of the upgraded Quasar. The sign-up date was a week ago (if I remember correctly). Wondering if you can still sign-up to be part of the tour? I believe you get the Quasars for a week and then... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 -Thanks for the report. Really sounds like a tremendous show. Even though I'm 30+ minutes outside NYC, I've yet to see a show at Smoke. Herring, Gary Bartz and Bobby Watson recorded a fabulous Bird tribute at Smoke. https://www.youtube.... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 -How was the show? Eric Alexander and Vincent Herring are two heavy hitters! The rest of the quintet are no slouches, either. | |
| A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport @phusis -I had TWO of these. Within a year they had problems and the audio store I purchased them from graciously took them back. It was also the same place that sold me two Aurender music servers. Wanting to try my luck and possibly purchase ano... | |
| Legacy Audio Studio HD Bookshelf Speakers vs ProAc Tablette @soix -Thanks for the recommendations. I emailed Fritz (who regularly reads these boards) and his FRITZ CARRERA R looks interesting. I do remember your description of the Reference 3a. | |
| Legacy Audio Studio HD Bookshelf Speakers vs ProAc Tablette @jfrost27 - No apologies needed...you are another satisfied Legacy customer. | |
| Movie/film suggestions. @bdp24 -Just saw your post from 7/2, responding to immathewj and nonoise. We are close in age and I can relate to your recollection of the era, in addition to having a dad who was a WW 2 vet. Up until the Tet Offensive in early '68 support for tha... | |
| 20 Vintage Amps That Prove They Really Don’t Make Them Like They Used To Fun article! I owned two of the amps in the article-Harman Kardon Citation II, Dynaco Stereo 70. Compared to the amps I have now ARC, Unison, they are euphonic and transients are slower. They were also lacking in top end, but so were the speakers... | |
| Legacy Audio Studio HD Bookshelf Speakers vs ProAc Tablette @freediver -I’m not a loud listener on this rig, so what you say makes sense. That’s reserved for the bigger one in the livingroom, which BTW, has ProAc D30R floorstanders. I used a soundmeter and typically listen at 60-65 db. I "cranked-it up" an... | |
| Legacy Audio Studio HD Bookshelf Speakers vs ProAc Tablette @v-fi -good insights, giving me info I need. @freediver -I think you have described what I like about my ProAcs, and want more of-the sparkle on top. I am wondering about the power requirements-ProAc says the D2D are 30 Watts minimum. And the D2... | |
| Best and Worst customer service? @shtinkydog -Agree! It's pretty funny. I hate be ghosted. LOL. And it's too bad because the CD Box RS2T sounds awesome. I know, because I was crazy enough to purchase two of them. Thank G-d for return policies. Other users/owners report no proble... | |
| Best and Worst customer service? Best in my experience- Audio Research for technical Q/A and repairs, Upscale Audio for customer support and expertise, John Rutan at Audio Connection for customer support, expertise and repair issues for equipment they did not sell me. Worst eve... | |
| Need a tube power amp to go with Sonic Frontiers SFL-1 Signature hybrid pre-amp Sonic Frontiers Power One. Chris Johnson at Parts Connexion can help you out. He was the founder of Sonic Frontiers, and Parts Connexion is in Hamilton, Ontario. | |
| Cardas or Audioquest for this System Third vote for Audioquest. They have terrific synergy with your Pass amp/preamp combo. | |
| Shanling ET3 or Project CD RS2-T CD transport comparison @qbitstate -I will echo/agree @robshaw . The Pro-Ject is an awesome transport, IF you don't have problems with it. Rob went one step further than I did, by getting a third one. After my second RS2 had playback issues, I sent it back and went in an... |
