| Recommendation for Class-A integrated amp Let me give some more props for the CODA. I now have the latest CODA 07x preamp and CODA #8 amp. I moved up from the CSiB integrated which I bought on A'gon used. This gear is stuff I will never be selling. I think this 07x + #8 combo is good as t... | |
| Paradigm Persona series @milkdud Before you spend any money on speakers you should evaluate the room. electronics, speakers, and wires and decide if everything is optimized. The room being the most important in my view. You can put an incredible speaker in a bad room and... | |
| I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s. I am GenX. My work collogue and good friend is 22-ish. He knows more about RECORDED music than I ever did when I was his age. I listened to a ton of music when I was his age and younger. Way more than my friend listens to now. However, my knowledg... | |
| Who are GenX'ers music icons? @michaelsherry59 Let me guess, you likely have not heard of most of those above mentioned bands and musicians. Listening to Classic Rock radio can do that. It also leads to the death of Rock music. | |
| All Things Must Pass 50th Anniversary sets due to be announced tomorrow @jafant My freak out that my COAX driver on my Thiel CS3.7 was damaged after listening to ATMP the last 2 days may have been too quick to judgement. Yesterday, after I listened to the song HEAR ME LORD on disk 2 of the 50th anniversary release on ... | |
| I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s. I am Gen X and discovered the 50 year old George Harrison's - ALL THINGS MUST PASS only this year. I am so happy I was not spinning disks when that album first came out. Discovering this today works perfectly for me.I actually feel sorry for peopl... | |
| Paradigm Persona series Your KEF dealer will tell you that there is no word on any META release. It is likely the case that there is no news on this upgrade but your dealer will also prefer to make a sale today.I would wait at least till the end of this year. The KEF LS5... | |
| Very new to high end audio - Recomendations With the LS50 you can easily add a KEF KC62 sub in the future. I run a 10 year old LS50s (can guy these for $900 today) driven by 380 watts of Benchmark AHB2 mono power in a second system. It is pretty amazing sound, especially now with the sub. ... | |
| Does anyone make a preamp with a subwoofer output? My Topping pre90 has RCA and XLR outputs. I run a KEF KC62 sub with the RCA outputs. The XLR’s go to Benchmark AHB2 monos. The Topping pre90 is a very neutral preamp. My Benchmark HPA4 preamp which the Topping replaced also has the same RCA + XLR ... | |
| Thiel Owners @jafant I was streaming this on TIDAL or Qobuz though I assume the CD or LP should be the same. It is very nice sounding release. I listened to it late last night on my headphones and loved it. The passage that is giving my CS3.7’s a hard time is ... | |
| Thiel Owners I would like at ask the help of anyone that has the same COAX driver as on the Thiel CS3.7. Today when I was listening to the new George Harrison's ALL THINGS MUST PASS (50th Anniversary / Super Deluxe) I heard something from my RIGHT COAX driver ... | |
| Paradigm Persona series I was never moved by Dynaudio. I heard they top of the line stuff about a decade ago. Very expensive back then. I have not heard Canton. | |
| Paradigm Persona series I recently called the dealer where I demoed the TAD ME-1 and after I heard they are no longer distributed in the USA I crossed them off my list.The Yamaha and Persona 5F (naked) would be too much for such a room. I have the same room and I have an... | |
| Best Integrated Amp for Thiel CS 2.4 Speakers My 2021 KRELL K-300i sounded great on my Thiel CS3.7. Smooth as butter with great bass. I am getting it back from KRELL next Wednesday after a front faceplate replacement. Send me a DM if interested in the unit. I may sell it because it is now a ... | |
| New Topping D90SE DAC Sounds like my Benchmark DAC3B. I use the Topping pre90 and D90SE with Benchmark AHB2, The DAC3B is used in another system.The Topping D90SE is a clear, detailed, and a neutral DAC. It will not add any flavour to the sound. My Gustard X26 Pro is u... |
