| Solo streamer @aldnorab The N200 should be a better streamer than the streamer in the A200. These units are basically the same price and the A200 has a DAC also. They had to cut some corners. | |
| Your thoughts on best audiophile speakers in $10,000 neighborhood? @mglik I know this is an older thread but you claimed to have already purchased the Quad ESL-2812X in April yet even today the X version of this speaker is not available and has not even been announced by Quad yet. I have spoken to the distributer... | |
| I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do? @incorrigable Can you explain this belief in greater detail? | |
| Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions Aren't the latest Harbeth 40.x speakers like twice the price of the Borresen X3 speakers? Is this even a fair comparison? | |
| Solo streamer Good choice! I also have an N200. I was tired of the constant upgrade game and wanted to get more of an end game streamer. I didn't care about the OCXO of the N20 since it wouldn't benefit me. I only stream USB. | |
| Preamp or DAC I have a similar type of system. Coda #8 amp, Holo Audio May KTE DAC, Holo Audio Serene KTE preamp and Aurender N200. I also have dual REL subs. I ordered a new BAT VK-80 tube preamp a few days ago. I’m also trying to integrate some tubes into my ... | |
| Vibration Control I saw a demo at AXPONA years ago with a company selling antivibration products and platforms. They had an A/B switch of some kind hooked up that let you do comparisons. This was not a demo of turntables. I was shocked that I did actually hear a di... | |
| A Better Way to Buy Gear - Help Needed I would NEVER do PayPal Friends and Family with an unknown person! Even if it was someone I know I would have to trust them. You are on the losing side if anything goes wrong, and the protection is all one-sided. | |
| Racks, equipment and footers Very happy with my Quadraspire SV2T rack. | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @aolmrd1241 I agree with you. I'm pretty sure colors aren't patented. It might not have been a threat and may just have been a friendly request, I'm not sure of those details. | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @yyzsantabarbara As you know I have the #8 with the LRS+ and they sound amazing. Funny story, when I was at AXPONA this year, I noticed one of the rooms had the #8 and #16 amps with some electrostatic speakers. The #8 they were using had GREEN fro... | |
| Seeking Bookshelf Recommendations @bubinga I've never heard of REL T10X. I have dual T/9X. Are those an older model? | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? @jperry Look at this as an opportunity to educate people and don't assume everyone is a longtime seasoned audiophile. If the person is just trolling and has a history of that in these forums that's a different story! | |
| Axpona 2024 who is going and why? @noromance The last two years I stayed at the Hyatt Regency. This year for some reason they wouldn't accept Hyatt points for their rooms, so I decided to stay at the Hyatt Place that is only about a block away from the Regency. I book these reserv... | |
| Axpona 2024 who is going and why? I'm flying in tomorrow. Just got back from Hawaii last night so I have a fast turn-around. This will be my 3rd year straight at attending this show. I'm on a hunt for new speakers and possibly a tube preamp. Some rooms I'm interested in attending ... |
