| Casters for Wilson Sophia 2 Get those plastic discs that you put under furniture to slide it around. When you find a spot for your speakers, remove the discs. | |
| Best Preamp for me Do you need the preamp to fix any type of problems like a harsh tweeter or do you just need something more neutral. I ask because so many people find the highs on those speakers to be very fatiguing, myself included. | |
| Starting out Audiophile separates? It may be a better option for you to get a good quality receiver to start off with. Pretty much all of them have pre amp outs for all of the channels, so later on you can add separate power amps and still use the receiver as a preamp. If you go to... | |
| Bryston BDP-2 Ricred1,Sorry. I didn't look carefully enough. I thought you had the Bryston DAC. Also, you are correct about me not knowing how much you paid for your cables. I was just going by list price. Given that, the reason I brought it up to begin with is... | |
| In defense of ABX testing "Probably I shouldn't have used the word 'science', which seems to get people in an uproar. Perhaps a better word would have been 'logic'. It is logical to assume that by using standard ABX testing, one can determine with certainty which of two te... | |
| What speakers for 10k? "01-17-15: JugheadI'm going to go with the stiff breeze for now and if I feel the need to upgrade I'll take a more serious look at their higher offerings. I think at some point I'll end up with the Nimbus just love the looks of that speaker, and t... | |
| Bryston BDP-2 "For some reason, the BDP-2 is the only item I ever received and thought the look and feel didn't justify the cost."I sometimes say things that get me in trouble, and this is probably no exception. But, the DAC you're talking about here is $2300. ... | |
| Difference in B&W sound "01-17-15: Jimmy2615Speculating here, but having owned both Matrix 802s, 804s and Diamond 804s, to include both at the same time (804s), this may be very simply a matter of synergy with your electronics."He's right. The 804's may be revealing more... | |
| Amp frequency requirements for super tweeters? The Whest Audio DAP.10 is the component I mentioned in my last post. Looks like its been discontinued. I'm pretty sure Stereophile reviewed it, but I couldn't it on their web site. | |
| New Bookshelf speakers u love 3k to 6k "01-17-15: Nyaudio98I started this thread to see what other thought of speakers costing more and which ones. The ref 3 a de capo's have gotten sensational feedback from many many many people. "Thats really not the best way to go about this. Depend... | |
| Infinity Primus P363 TAS review "I was amazed at how terrible they were. Boxy sounding and like they were out of phase."They probably were out of phase. Did you do any troubleshooting to be sure? | |
| Prima Luna Premium Pre or Conrad Johnson ET3 SE "Would a Prima Luna Premium Preamp be an upgrade?"Anythings possible, but I would say that its not likely to be an upgrade. Unless you have the chance to hear the Prima Luna in your system first, I wouldn't even consider it. | |
| Amp frequency requirements for super tweeters? "01-16-15: AtmasphereHow could another component open up the bandwidth of an amplifier??"If I remember correctly, it was a box that went between a CD player and the preamp. Redbook specs call for the CD's highest frequency to be 20k, and then it c... | |
| AQ Earth interconnects..echo? "01-17-15: SheilalagroI spoke w/Allister @ AudioquestI consider him rude & patronising"I love AQ cables, but if that's how he was, make sure he can say the same about you. I'm pretty sure I know who you are talking about. He has an English, if... | |
| In defense of ABX testing "01-17-15: GeoffkaitJudging from the AES paper by Olive the listening tests are, in fact, excessively complicated, a criticism he dismisses. Furthermore the listening tests apparently involved only frequency response. What happened to other audiop... |
