| If you like Revel F208, you would love .... Spatial Audio X2's for $9600! I have the Spatial Audio M4 Triode Masters and they are the finest speakers I have ever owned in 45 years of having good gear. Many folks, like myself, who have OB speakers could never bide with box speakers again. | |
| Stll listen to Dynaco Speakers? Sound comparison with AR? I loved the A25 and A35 speakers, classic sound, but only after they have been recapped and rewired. I never had a pair of AR's to compare them to. Similar in sound are the KLH Model 6 speakers. I never understood the price the vintage AR speak... | |
| Need help with covering for Dueland speaker wire Nonoise,Thanks for contributing. I thought the Supra wire I used under the house for my Spatial Audio speakers was a noticeable upgrade from the Mogami cable I had previously. I replaced the same Mogami cable in my bedroom system with Western El... | |
| Need help with covering for Dueland speaker wire Thanks for the responses ... you wisely waved me off the idea as I am too inept/lazy to run the PVC under my house. I failed to mention that I currently use Supra Ply 3.4 wire under the house and am going to stick with it. I prefer the Ply 3.4 t... | |
| Need help with covering for Dueland speaker wire Thanks for the reply, my friends. The PVC option occurred to me, but at the ends of it, the wire is still exposed. I need a sheath of plastic to encompass the wire totally under its exposure in the crawl space. I currently have Supra Ply 3.4 ca... | |
| Tube Preamps..... I highly recommend Don Sach's 6SN7-based tube preamp. It betters any preamp I have had in my system and I have a boatload of them. Don sells the preamp directly so they are an extremely fine value. There are lots of review of the preamp on this... | |
| Spatial Audio Hologram M4 Turbo S Speakers - A Review For a single sub, the conventional wisdom is to locate the sub between the speakers, but honestly, subs are not all that much locationally sensitive so it is no really a big deal where you locate the sub. I upgraded to the Triode Master variants ... | |
| Ayre QB-9 DAC - alternative connections? Gents,The obvious solution, which I was reminded of by my pal, is simply to rip all my CD's to my external HD and then I can dispense with the need for the Oppo CDP and alleviate the need for another DAC! I have downloaded Audirvana and Apple XL... | |
| Spatial Audio Hologram M4 Turbo S Speakers - A Review That is a great amp for the speakers. I used a REL T7 sub with high-level outputs and it worked very well. Honestly, since I got the upgrade to the Triode Master, I haven't felt the need to hook up the sub. | |
| Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass) I had a stock McCormack DNA .05 Deluxe it was my favorite of all time, including tube amps. I recently got a TOTL upgrade to the same amp (Platinum) and can attest to it be much better than the stock amp, a purely stunning amp. There are always ... | |
| Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz? Both are quite good, but clearly not "reference" players. Jez sayin', and I run an Oppo CDP. | |
| Diana Krall Hifiman5,You made my day with your post about getting into Karen Souza. Her music is in constant rotation in my system. I lament the negative posts in response to the OP's perfectly honest question. He digs her and simply wanted to share that a... | |
| Ayre QB-9...listening impressions Mr M,That is just what the fellas at Ayre said. Better than the QB-9 and a much lower price. That is amazing. | |
| TV gives me a headache when its on; any suggestions? I'd suggest you get a copy of "Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television" by Jerry Mander and you will have your solution. But wait until the Winter Olympics have concluded! :-) Cheers. | |
| Diana Krall I am a huge fan of DK, no question. She has an evocative voice and such wonderful phasing... and she plays the piano at the same time. I have all her recordings. My pal loves Patty Barber and she is excellent, but to my ears, she is too analyti... |
