| i am starting to think Audiogon profits off the spam... To Audiogon:As someone who comes to Audiogon late at night when I work the spam makes your site unreadable. This is a world wide site so imagine the people reading this 12 hours time difference from the USA. You guys know which accounts are creati... | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels The Treo were a little more mellow on the top end than the Vivid Kaya 90. I go into auditioning audio gear with the mindset of "one good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain". I am looking for an emotional experience. I am not rea... | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels The new less goofy looking one. They still look rather odd but there is an audio reason for that so I can live with it. They sound great but are very expensive.https://vividaudio.com/loud-speakers/kaya/I heard the Kaya 90 the same day I heard the ... | |

| Help me choose an integrated amp to pair with Anthem MRX 520 receiver @ron1264 I saw you had previously commented on purchasing the Lyngdorf 3400 on the Lyngdorf thread. Did you switch to the Anthem STR from the Lyngdorf?I am also considering the Persona 3F for a small room and trying to figure out which DSP system ... | |
| Krell XD gear in the House Initial Impressions @pokey It would be useful for A'gon to have an IGNORE user feature. It would eliminate at ton of self-righteous BS from the threads I read. | |
| Luxman Integrated - What do they sound like @tomcy6 https://onahighernote.com/blog/2018/12/08/luxman-amplifiers-class-a-power-clarified-m-600a-vs-m-700u...Luxman Amplifiers Class A Power Clarified: M-600A vs M-700u & M-800A vs M-900uEx distributer. | |
| Most Recent ROON Upgrade Quite Nice @cymbop How is the selection on Qobuz compared to Tidal?@douglas_Schroeder I imagine you have heard a lot of dedicated music servers. I am of the opinion that an Ethernet-2-USB device connected to even a noisy computer should sound good as a dedi... | |
| good hifi store in Bay Area The 2 shops mentioned are good and I have been to both. If you are near the South Bay then there is also a very good store at the Mountain View train station. I forgot the name but it is on Castro across from Central (beside Thai restaurant). You... | |
| capacitores en potencia krell @ebm It looks like the OP was asking a question in Spanish. I doubt he understood your response. I am not fluent in the great Spanish language but I will ask my wife tonight, who speaks a few languages, if this was Spanish. | |
| Luxman Integrated - What do they sound like @builder3 I have actually heard that amp with Vivid Giya Spirit 2. Sounded great but I have some suspicion that the m900u is the best Luxman today. I think I read it somewhere on the internet, so it must be true. I have been interested in this m9... | |
| BUY Bryston!!!!! Bryston are great folks. I think it was James Tanner (Bryston VP) who hand delivered my first 3B-ST to Whitby Audio when he was driving home to Peterborough. I have bought and sold a lot of Bryston gear and it was always with full confidence that ... | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. If anyone is interested on Lyngdorf's feedback to my question. Here it is:1. If I were to use the XLR analog output of the 3400 and then input the analog signal to a external amplifier, would I be loosing out on the capabilities of the 3400. I un... | |
| Are DAC's overpriced? @mzkmxcv I have learned that in audio more money is not always an indicator of the best performance. However, I sold the Benchmark because it did not sound as good on the new speakers I want to buy as compared with the ML If you go by spec alone t... | |
| Are DAC's overpriced? I owned the Benchmark DAC3L + AHB2 amp for about a year. I took both to an audio store and compared them to Mark Levinson 585 (and also some ML separates) with the Magico A3. The ML gear sounded a heck of a lot better. I did not play the volume to... |
