| How to upgrade in pieces - or - tell me about your journey! Dynaudio has active and wireless speakers too. Check out the new Xeo2 and XD 200/400 with the 'connect' wireless box (if interested in wireless). No amp or dac needed. Only a digital source but I believe they also have analog inputs. That said if ... | |
| Nordost Red Dawn "Flatline" interconnect Want to replace with a more musical sounding IC. I meant tyr2. Yes they are top of the line in the Norse series and current. | |
| Possible new Audiogon phishing scam Just did a search on the deleted post of mine and they deleted the entire thread. I remember it now. It involved a member bashing a company who was very out of line since the company had offered him a choice of solutions. The member took up the co... | |
| Possible new Audiogon phishing scam Got my first one last night regarding a post from almost a year ago. I don't remember the post at all. But it could just be A'gon finally cleaning up some of the treads. In the past they have been very generous regarding posts that are downright m... | |

| Nordost Red Dawn "Flatline" interconnect Want to replace with a more musical sounding IC. I had the red dawn in my system a while back too. Not bad but a little bright like you mentioned. In the end I bought the original Frey. More body and not as bright. But when Nordost came out the the series 2 I upgraded to the try2. The series 2 c... | |
| Tube amp powered up? Nothing like hot glass | |
| I was thinking the other day about all the audio stores that were around when I was a kid Victors which was down the street from Musicraft is now Quintessence and Mick is the only owner now. He also has the BIG rooms at Axpona. Simply Stereo in Hoffman estates is still there too. | |
| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? nab2 Great decision to go to shows first. At those price levels there are so many choices just between all the different types of speakers. But I would like to add - consider the electronics. At that level speakers seem to be more picky as what i... | |
| Toslink/optical cable recommendations Thanks Kijanki too. I was looking for something to connect my cable/TV to my system and saw your post. I needed 12' and for $35 shipped it's a bargain. No possibility of ground loops. Seems to work great but I have nothing to compare it to. | |
| REL Base Line Blue I have a Rel B3 and the original cable is pure cr@p. On a lark I ordered custom a Nordost Baseline and the attack and decay really came to life. I've seen and heard the Rel Baseline but it was with a S9 with nothing to compare to. Being a copper c... | |
| Speaker help under $2,500 Eddy1 -- "I am just okay with it since my mind was set as this is not a really good speaker as I should"As Stereo5 wrote "However, if you listen to the speakers with the attitude you are heartbroken about not getting the Vandersteens, then you wil... | |
| Who are the most underground high-end companies Aavik for amps/integrateds and Ansuz for cables/power distribution and isolation.All designed by Mike B and Lars K from Raidho and pretty new | |
| Best mellow sounding 12ax7 for Thor TA-1000 preamp I have to agree with vintage Mullards (haven't heard the new Russian ones) and 5751 especially the RCA black plate. | |
| Upgrading receiver: Got a pair of Dynaudio Sapphires+NAD C740 While I agree Dyn's love lots of good clean current I had no problems driving my C1's and later C1 sigs with a 70W @4ohm Octave tube integrated. I started with a Bryston B100 sst but found the Octave to have much better 'control' of the music and ... |
