| The SHOW 2021 Long Beach, CA - Anyone going? I was going to go but looked at the list of exhibitors and it is a rather weak line-up so I am not going to go. | |
| Gryphon Diable 300 DAC vs. Lumin X1 DAC I can't speak to Gryphon but I have had 4 different Lumin Dac's including the X-1. I think the Lumin X-1 is the best sounding DAC under $19k. I also love the simplicity of the APP and accessibility to Tidal and Qobuz. I am really anxious to hea... | |
| Who here has a Raven amplifier and what speakers do you have paired with it @james1911 --if you do not have a lot of experience with audio components then you did a great job starting off. Some low cost things you can do in addition to what Millercarbon said....SR orange fuse / duplex, 1260 contact enhancer and tube swap... | |
| To horn or not to horn @larryi i went to Deja Vu in San Diego as part of my horn speakers search and even had them provide me a few designs. I liked them but super happy with my Viking Acoustic Grande Voix's | |
| To horn or not to horn @larryjWhat was the name of the horn shop that made those speakers? | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? @b_limo Did you talk to Raven about changing your power tubes? I went from KT 88's to KT 150's on my Reflection to increase the power. | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? My Raven Reflection did not give off much heat. | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? arafit"A friend of mine recently switched from Blackhawk MK3 to Qualiton A50i. According to him, there is no comparison. The Qualiton is at an entirely different level".Your post intrigued me. You are right there is no comparison. Class A vs A/B... | |
| Any audiophiles in Israel or Europe here? You probably don't want to hear this but I would sell everything and start from scratch. What's Best Audio Forum puts Audiogon to shame. It is a great place to research products and is heavily influenced by Europeans. Poland has some some great... | |
| Lumin X1 dont see many virtual audiogon systems with this? I have owned the D-2, A-1 and then upgraded to the X-1. I also own a U_1 mini. When I purchased the X-1 I sold my Emm Lab DAC and Laufer Teknik memory player. The X-1 is the best DAC under $19k period. I loved the Lumin App ( no need for Roon ... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? Mozart - my Grande Voix speakers are the black ones with wood tone horns on the Viking Website. | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? I never thought I would ever consider a horn until I went on a 1 year speaker hunt. After listening to 30-40 different speakers around the country ( Magico, YG, Vivid, Meridien, SF, Wilson, Eggleston, Stenhiem), I heard an AvantGarde Horn and lov... | |
| Beginner looking for guidance into tube sound. Johnfritter - good luck , it will be really hard to do at the budget. $2-3k is the hotspot for number of good integrated entry level tube amps. You might be better served to research various brands and save your money to step up to that price po... | |
| Millercarbon's Mega Moab Mod Meander MC - I was one of those GUYS who would put their ear up to the 98db speakers and hear a slight hum and get pissed. Now, After changing all of my cables, Power cords, adding the Lampi Pacific it is pretty much quiet. I wonder, can you really comp... | |
