| Naim and Elac Adante, Wow @Audiotroy,I always look forward to your posts. When I saw that you started this thread I took the time to read it because I knew I would learn something. The Elac Adante are not something that will fit my needs but I knew there would be something... | |
| Opinions on best integrated under 10k? The Hegel 360 is rather good but not great. I could live with it. However, the integrated I want to hear is the new Luxman 509x. The new top of the line for them. It has most of the specs you want except digital inputs. It is also rated at 125 wat... | |
| Bryston 4B Cubed vs Hegel H360 vs Benchmark AHB2 I thought I would update this thread if anyone was curious how the AHB2 system went.I have had the following new system setup now for 3 days with about 30 hours on it. It is still breaking in but I can already conclude I love this system.I wanted ... | |
| Any Spendor D9 owners out there? @1extreme I must admit "you people" do have a good sense of humour. | |
| Benchmark DAC1 or Ah Reference Tjoeb 4000 I was just catching up on my posts yesterday. I am still on 2007 but making good progress. | |
| Small room electrostat/ planar speaker? Since I was in a generous spending mood, and the fact I will have to wait another 6 months+ until I move to the bigger office, I decided to give another speaker on this thread a shot. I just bought the Audience ClairAudient 1+1 Loudspeaker ($2345)... | |
| High End DAC's compared I own Benchmark DAC3 but the best sounding DAC I have heard is the Resonessence MIrrus. There are new variants of the MIrrus that I have not heard yet. Supposed to sound even better. | |
| Benchmark DAC1 or Ah Reference Tjoeb 4000 The Benchmark DAC1 is not a good choice. I have owned both the DAC1 and DAC2. I just bought a DAC3 and Benchmark AHB2 amp (have not powered up the last 2 yet). The DAC1 requires a pre-amp with some softness in it or you will have fatigue. The DAC... | |
| Just bought Kef reference 1, now to choose speaker wires I like AudioQuest and Audience. Audience is very flexible. Try the Audience Ohno III line on a budget or Au24 SE or SX. You can get these cables at a decent price at usedcables.com or A'Gon. I used these with KEF LS50's. I will use Audience with a... | |
| Small room electrostat/ planar speaker? Thanks guys for the great info. I called a local dealer this afternoon in Los Angeles that carries the E.T. but they do not have it in the demo rooms. It is not a big seller for them and they like to show Magico's.If my next room is close to accom... | |
| Small room electrostat/ planar speaker? @aniwolfe , @bdp24,Can you guys give a recommendation to the room size for the LFT-8b (the smallest acceptable size). I was reading about it after your recommendation above and it looks like a good candidate for my office system. I am currently us... | |
| From KEF 103.2 to Harbeth 30.1 and back....Your advice sought. If you could save a few more pennies I would look at the KEF Ref 1. A standout speaker. You can get it used in 9/10+ condition for about $5K. | |
| Briscati M12 | PS Audio Direct Stream | Mola Mola Makua I actually decided to get a pre-amp for the more expensive system that I am building later in the year. I am undecided on which of the 3 expensive DAC's from my list to get but it may come down to cost (maybe used). I will be getting the Luxman C9... | |
| Briscati M12 | PS Audio Direct Stream | Mola Mola Makua Thanks. We conversed on Coumteraudiophile forum on this issue. I have put the shopping for the big rig on hold while I am currently shopping for my office system. I am going to take another look at the speakers you mentioned to me last time on the... | |
| Class D options Why not buy a new amp the day after your tube gear fails? Are you far from an urban area or hifi stores? You can also buy all of these items on A'Gon from online dealers. I was considering the Mola and Theta and found a few dealers and private sel... |
