| B&W 802D1 - How can I tame the brightness? I fought a brightness battle with my B&W 801 Matrix speakers. I then fought a similar battle with my Wilson Sasha 2s. I now love my Rockports. Save yourself the battles. Sell them and find a sound you love. | |
| Does the Gryphon Antileon EVO stereo amplifier go for sale on the used market? Yes they do as I just sold mine. I bought mine gray market from the far East. Its a great amp and during my two years with it, it never even thought about an issue. It's a beast of an amp and too big for me at this point. It gives a feeling of unl... | |
| Audiogon Support Service .......not responding and is Tammy Holt still there ? Not only is Tammy super efficient, but never makes me feel "less than" for needing her help. I was in Medical IT for most of my career and we would have loved to have here in support, install or sales support! Thanks for your competence and help o... | |
| Speakers for leading edge, transients, speed and big sound I have the Rockport Cygnus, but I also have acute FOMO. I read about all the new speakers and I get worked up. Then I listen to my system and it sounds phenomenal when fed via my curated signal path. The Rockport's are not a flashy speaker except ... | |
| Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000? Late to the party fthompson251, but that's a very important point. I made the assumption that the rest of the system would be highly resolving, but it's certainly possible with a system of less resolving components even an audiophile with develope... | |
| Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000? +1 ghdprentice. Based on the comments about members not being able to hear the difference between a $1500 or a $50,000 DAC I would suggest you get a new hobby. | |
| Do You Unplug Equipment During Thunderstorms? Yes, whenever I can. Has anyone looked into Environmental Potentials protection products as sold by VH Audio? I may be thinking like a caveman about strike/surges, but I have a whole house surge protector, and whatever surge capabilities the Shuny... | |
| Has it all been worth it? About five years ago I renewed my interest in my system. I have swapped out a lot of gear and had both FOMO and frustration big time along the way, but as my knowledge improved so did my satisfaction. That said, I have recently turned a corner whe... | |
| Getting a Divorce and can now buy floor standing speakers +1 on Rockport Cygnus. Only available used now but they are a great well balanced speaker that purchased used is a great buy. I added a 6 pack of REL Carbon specials and they make quite a visual and sonic statement. These 8 speakers are within you... | |
| Townshend Audio Seismic Podiums Review I sold my first set of Townshend Podiums with my Sasha 2s. I didn't have the same floor issues as the OP as my system is on stone on concrete. My gains we not as much in the bass area. All frequencies tightened up increasing resolution and focus. ... | |
| Subwoofers are a superlative room treatment I recently added a six pack of REL Carbon Specials to my Rockport Cygnus. I was very nervous to add that much expense to my system, but what a reward. I intend to do a second "tune" but they already add so much to my listening experience that I ha... | |
| Do you have a perfect digital marriage? Fiber optic to an Afterdark Netone, to a Gimm Mu1 streamer, via Shunyata Omega AES to a Lampizator Horizon 360 DAC with TP adaptors for NOS tubes. There is both a Roon server and a media storage server. within the Mu1. I also have a $300 CD tran... | |
| New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid +1 for Rockports. I had the (daughter won't let me sell them) B and W 801 Matrix anniversary model powered by a Krell KSA 150 for 30 years. I then moved to Wilson Sasha 2s, but could never get them to a sound I could live with. I now have Rockpo... | |
| Any real experiences with a Luxman C900u and C10x? Plus 2 @ghdprentice, I bought a C900 amp as Jay and others were all about it 4 years ago. I burned it in, and in and in, but the sound was exactly as GHD reports. I had Wilson Sasha 2s at the time. I sold it within a few weeks and bought ARC 160m ... | |
| Has a Power Conditioner Improved Your Sound? Lalitk, you are so correct. Getting foundational stuff correct makes everything in the system perform its best, but it is very unglamorous. It's like getting underwear and socks for your birthday instead of a new bike! I am learning that power, is... |
