| High End Repair in Phoenix James is the only guy I would trust my system with. His business moved from their Phx Location and I am not sure where the new location is | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system Consider better cable, especially the speaker cables. Two of the best I have testred Are Hijiri and QSA Lanedri. Your system is already very nice. | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? @calvinj I have to agree at least on Audiogon. I attended the launch of the Lampi Horizon DAC in Feb 2022. After the launch, I posted my review of what I heard. The hate and negative comments caused me to ask Audiogon to take down the thread ... | |
| 聖HIJIRI Users thread @kclone So now that you experienced the Takumi....what's next? LOL | |
| Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!! Aries Cerat Aurora speakers are my end game and final speaker purchase after going down the B&W, Wilson, Sonus Faber and Vliking route. I should receive them in the next 4o days from Greece. | |

| Horns with good timbre and tonality? Op Did I miss what your budget is for your horn speakers? That makes a big difference in what we may recommend. I went through a whole year process which I chronicled on Audiogon and WBF before buying my horn speakers. i love them. | |
| DAC DIRECT IN TO AMPLIFIER OR TO PREAMPLIFIER I had Canary Audio 300B Mono amps with a Canary 1800 Dual Preamp. I had a Lampizator Pacific DAC. People kept telling me I should try the Pacific direct to the 300B's but I wouldn't. Then one day, just for the hell of it I did try going DAC to... | |
| Horn speakers with Imaging? Does everyone have the same definition of imaging? In audio terms, what doe that word mean? | |
| QSA FUSES I am a big QSA fan. I would forget the LPS. Put the best one you can afford in the Dac followed by the amp. Another suggestion is to go with a QSA Jitter plug. I had great results with a used crystal silver QSA Jitter plug that I used at the e... | |
| Best USB cable upgrade for around $1000 Op Did you buy a new USB cable yet? I had the FTA Callisto. It was a very good cable and then upgraded to the FTA Sinope for my Lampi Horizon DAC. Send me a private email and I can explain better. I have since gone to a SPDIF cable ilo of USB... | |
| What new gear have you just bought? $39k worth of QSA Lanedrie cables and cords and one Silver Horn outlet. | |
| Audio / Stereo Rack Call Paul at Adona. Great racks and custom to your needs. They hold two Aries Cerat Mono amps at 176 lbs a piece with ease. I then was able to sell of all of my isolation pods. Great value for the money! | |
| Who has been an "Insider" with Audiogon? I had it for a year. I got absolutely nothing our of it. Even the Bluebook was not helpful. But that was just my experience. |
