| Hard Audio - Ceramic Speakers I think the Raidho's are great. I have the D3.1's. Raidho uses a particle accelerator to fuse a diamond coating on the ceramic driver. | |

| Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ? An Ansuz D-TC power cord did just what lak mentioned above with my Aavik U300. Because of that I can play almost twice as loud. I never would have believed it if I didn't hear it in my home. Not sure what percentage of improvement I got but would ... | |
| Dynaudio Contour 30 vs Confidence C2 comparisons I’ve recently auditioned the C20’s and was left underwhelmed in the lows. To me the lows sounded flubby. I didn’t audition the C30 or C60 but have heard the C60 at Axpona last year. Personally I like the S40’s a lot better (I know that’s not what ... | |
| Axpona 2018 Will you be there? I'll be there Fri and Sat. Maybe Sunday too | |
| High Quality Fuses in Amps First and foremost replace the bad fuse with a cheap on just to make sure something is not failing and causing the fuse to blow. That said I paid 130 for a SR Black and was impressed with the SQ improvement for the money. BTW the SR's have a 30 d... | |

| Question About Raidho Models C, D, XT All are very good but a bit different from each other. The XT series is more 'lively' in its presentation. But they lack the layers of resolution of the C and D series. They play a bit louder (when pushed) too. Going to the C series adds a couple ... | |
| Best tubes for my mc 275 Gordon gow +1 for the original TS 6550. Solid black plates sound slightly better than the solid grey plates. | |
| Anybody have first hand experience with Octave v110 integrated? Had one for about 3 years. I had Dyn C1 sig and Raidho D1 and D2's for speakers. I think I'm the oddball that never cared for the KT120 sound. Very forward and didn't sound balanced from top to bottom. One nice feature of the V110 is a switch on t... | |
| Conditioning/Burn-In Method Do you have a Nordost dealer with a Vidar close by? If so maybe for a small fee they will burn them in for you. Besides pushing current through them it also varies a bunch of different frequencies too. I've had my dealer burn in new cables and it ... | |
| Sister's wants music system without the hassles! May want to consider some active and or wireless speakers. Dynaudio and Kef come to mind. I'm sure there are may others to consider. | |
| Trade dynaudio focus for Sonus Faber? IMO the SF Venere 2.5 has a slightly more laid back sound. | |
