| Starting to get interested in tubes I have a pair of 11a Impressions with Rogue Cronus Magnum III, the combo is So ridiculously perfect !! Plenty of power in Triode mode and the sound is so 3D and smooth from top to bottom. Had a Nova300 before and sounded good, but nothing like th... | |
| Phono Cartridge for $1,000. Had the virtuoso ebony and now have the Hana SL. No contest, the Hana is much, much better to me in every way.previously had Ortofon bronze, black and some Grados. Hana is producing carts on a another level.Also, heard the ML and not sure it’s any... | |
| Can you run the HANA SL MC at 100 ohms? Compared 300 to 1k on my Hana SL and Plx-1000 with Cronus Magnum 3.For my system and ears, sounds amazing and absolutely perfect at 1k. At 300ohm sounds a little muted.This is now a dream set up for me, goose bumps with some of these top notch 45 ... | |
| What are some of the most underrated and overrated loudspeakers you’ve auditioned? Goldenear Reference are so overrated.$8500 for speakers is still ton of money (to me at least)I absolutely loved their sound, BUT I think the Triton ones are amazing and sound close enough to the TRef for most people without paying a 60% premium. ... | |
| Best speakers for max. $3000? Spatial Audio M3 Triode Masters $3000 used If you like imaging and soundstage.I have had 20 or 30 different speakers come through my room over the last 10 years including Goldenear, Maggie’s, Vandersteen, Gallo, Martin Logan, and on and on. Evalua... | |
| Considering Vandersteen 3a Signatures I have Spatial Audio M3 Triode Masters with Cronus Magnum II and Ayre codex.Absolutely amazing and much better than the Vandersteen Treo (not CT) and Goldenear Triton Reference I had before with same equipment and in same room. To me, it is next l... | |
| Anyone compared GoldenEar Triton 7 with Triton Reference? Otinkyad,My main room is 20x15x8 and both Triode Masters worked great without a sub.4 - 15” open baffle woofers was all I needed 99% of the time in that space for bass. Playing Royals from Lorde sounded pretty damn low. Some tracks sounded a hair ... | |
| Anyone compared GoldenEar Triton 7 with Triton Reference? @stereo5 I am an experienced consumer with nearly $250k worth of gear in and out of my rooms. Also, vast experience with furniture grade cabinets as well. So, yeah you could say I know a thing or two about quality parts in audiophile equipment.Alw... | |
| Anyone compared GoldenEar Triton 7 with Triton Reference? I am not sure they want me listing their name and company title. That's for them to do (if they choose) Rest assured my friends have spent many a time listening to each others gear including mine, and also at shows. Everyone has their own thought... | |
| Anyone compared GoldenEar Triton 7 with Triton Reference? I have had the References, 5s with and without proper sub, and 2s and 1s.All in same treated room and with a ton of equipment. (Yggy dac, Hegel H160, H300, Peachtree Nova300, Primaluna, Raven, and much more)To me and many of my industry buddies, t... | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) Spatial Audio Triode Masters, best speakers I have ever owned, and I have or owned most of the usual suspects. And definitely Not Goldenear References, I bought into the hype and got a pair, sound great, but not worth the $8500.Spatial Triodes or ... | |
| Goldenear Reference Vs. Focal Sopra #2.....pocket the $5k difference and don't look back? The GE references are overrated by paid magazines and overpriced. I owned the ones and loved them for what they cost me new ($4500) I heard the reference extensively and did not find them much better to warrant nearly double the price. At that pri... | |
| My review of the Spatial M3 Turbo S open baffle speaker is finally live... For what it’s worth, my Spatial sound best to me with integrated Tubes. Using a Primaluna with Mullards in the preamp and stock EL34s or I also used a Cronus Magnum II. Both amazing with these speakers and a Ayre Codex or Yggy dac.also- tried Hege... | |
| My review of the Spatial M3 Turbo S open baffle speaker is finally live... I have the Spatial M3 Triode Masters and they absolutely smoked my Vandersteen 3A signatures (with the latest carbon driver)and also handily beat Goldenear Triton ones both of which I sold. To each his own I guess, with regard to what people want ... | |
| Goldenear Triton Reference vs. One -- Review I stand by what I said about Triton ones two years ago.They were benchmark for value / price ratio at the time in my eyes.(not anymore) But for the 100th time, Today, I would not spend 70% more for the reference. You did and so, go ahead and try ... |
