| Any Cube Audio owners moving to Qualio speakers? My friend has the original version but is upgrading to the SP? version. Ozzy62, we have been down the same path with a lot of gear, like Spatial and Don Sachs. If as my classical guitar friend in Italy says, The Qualios are half the price (of his... | |
| Looking for my End Game Speaker Estelon speakers, they are in a different league. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisb834g-estelon-yb-full-range?creative=&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADQhP4qwZbdzGNK6TM0Z4-HnNIqzx&gclid=Cj0KCQiAr7C6BhDRARIsAOUKifjahwGQip8Yo7d9qPR0VDUe... | |
| Tube amp repairs in the Boston area? Good advice. Dan is taking care of my pal’s issue. | |
| Tube amp repairs in the Boston area? Thanks for the recommendations. | |
| How do you pick your gear? Tips and insights are welcome. I pick my gear only after I have consumed a lot of adult beverages, it's my cardinal rule. The darnedest gear shows up at my door step sometime later and I just shake my head... I did it again. Great gear comes and great gear goes, I am just alo... | |
| An audio component you just can't let go I ripped all my CDs onto an external hard drive, but still am super fond of my Oppo 105 CDP. Of all the components I have had over 50 years of having good gear, the Oppo DAC's are the best combination of sonic excellence vs. price. I have had ... | |
| ???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard??? Easy question... my Pass Labs First Watt J2, which makes my Cube Audio Jazzon speakers sing. It has the euphonic sound of a tube amp. | |
| Why are Harbeth speakers expensive while its drivers are not. I have heard Harbeth speakers at many audio shows and they always struck as kinda "meh", nothing that I fancied at all. Even if they were a quarter of their retail price, they wouldn't interest me. They are nice furniture, that I will admit. ... | |
| That Transformational piece of Gear We All Wish For After a variety of sub-$1K dacs that all sounded pretty much the same, for me the Ayre QB-9 dac sounded so close to vinyl that I promptly sold my SOTA Sapphire TT with vacuum platter. I have never looked back. | |
| LAIV Harmony I ordered mine about three weeks ago and see that it will be delivered to me today. It will compared to my Aqua La Voce S3. I am excited to get a shiny new toy. | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread Contemplating a move abroad, I have decided to part with my "shoe box" version of Don/Lynn's 300b monos, which were recently upgraded to the maximum extent possible. My ad is on AM. | |
| Isolation platforms for Cube Audio Jazzon speakers Heck of a deal, my Townshend rep called me just now and opined that the solution to the problem of my inability to level them can be solved by higher-capacity load cells in front Sound Bars. He is getting them out to me without a concern of payme... | |
| Isolation platforms for Cube Audio Jazzon speakers I got them today and am having a hard time trying to get my speakers levels with the adjustments with these Sound Bars under my Cube Audio Jazzon speakers. Information from Townshend has not been helpful. I sorta got them leveled and frankly ... | |
| Isolation platforms for Cube Audio Jazzon speakers I ordered the Townshend Sound Bars which are expected to arrive in a few days times. I remember when I put Iso-Acoustic GAIA footers under my Spatial Audio M4 Triode Masters whereupon the improvement in SQ was instantly apparent. I am hopeful fo... | |
| How Long Should a First Watt SIT3 Last ? The First Watt amps all have different sonic signatures. I currently have the FW J2 driving my Cube Audio Jazzon speakers in place of my 300b monos and the SQ is sensational with a tube preamp. The J2 actually yields an even broader soundstage t... |
