| Dac: Does anyhting beat the Schiit Gungnir Multibit (Gumby) in the same price range? You’re welcome Mr. House:) (and gdnrbob!) So as to your questions, La Voce is probably in the 3000.00 US range retail and if you get a 15 percent discount or so, that means maybe 2650.00 US. As for the Gungnir Multibit, I bought mine new from Schi... | |
| Dac: Does anyhting beat the Schiit Gungnir Multibit (Gumby) in the same price range? As an addendum, for the past few days I’ve left both DACs fired up and have continued to switch periodically from Schiit to Aqua, Aqua to Schiit and so forth (I’m currently listening to the Beethoven Cello and Piano sonatas with Simone Dinnerstein... | |
| Dac: Does anyhting beat the Schiit Gungnir Multibit (Gumby) in the same price range? If this helps at all (maybe not?), I spent a few hours just now (okay 5 or 6 hours) listening to my Gumby vs. my Aqua HiFi La Voce S2 (with the Gumby having been on for a day and La Voce likewise). I listened to lots of string quartets, Mozart’s p... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne JTinn-- one deep question:Do any of your speakers come in black?All I see is that same exact wood finish on every picture of every model Evo I've ever seen. Black would be so sleek what with the silvery drivers and all...Just my Manhattan metrosex... | |
| Skywire's cables... experiences? Scarcity thereof? Interesting, Agisthos. I do love the SE's but the 1400 and the 2020 have seriously impressed me. Sooooo quiet yet so detailed and as always the tone is right on. What sonic signature do you hear with the stranded silver plated copper? So far--espe... | |
| great bookshelf speakers vs 12-18 k floor speakers You know-- recently I was listening to a small pair of active speakers (the Audioengine speakers at about 350 bucks a pair) in my girlfriend's studio apartment here in Manhattan. The bookshelves behind them serve as diffusion and the lumber planks... | |
| Best speaker value between $1800-$2100 you know-- agree with the poster above that the Response 2.5 from Proac is a lovely thing-- owned a pair for several years. But prior to them I owned the 1.5's and felt them to actually have the more upfront present midrange of the two. The profil... | |
| Speakers in 10-15K price range for Classical music As an opera and classical music lover whom has been through many a speaker, several stand out for me--1. Living Voice OBX-RW (newer- more refined version)- perhaps with a sub if you like (a damn good one or two though like a high-end Rel)2. Daedal... | |
| Need preamp recommendation I wouldnt mind recommending my current fave preamp, the Red Wine Audio Isabella. In your price range, quiet as the proverbial church mouse- in fact quieter what with the battery power and all- and small/reliable/simple. Can come with a head amp an... | |
| Which speaker for 30 watts amplification at $1000? A used pair of Proac Response twos perhaps? Many rockers enjoy the ballsy capabilities of a used pair of Response twos. They are definitely not 'prissy' high-end speakers and would likely respond well to the Pass. | |
| You know you have "it" bad when................... you buy amps and preamps in 'twos' so you can sell the one that 'loses'... | |
| Daedalus LOL!!! I know it's 'glowing'-- I wrote it ;) | |
| Daedalus NGlazer, sorry if I implied you were dissing anyone - I didnt mean to! I was just wanting a bit of a preview about the Daedalus review before I get home and check it out. I agree with Lou that the Daedaluses are either 'sensitive' to cabling or 'r... | |
| Daedalus As I haven't read Marty's Daedalus review yet (I will- I'm a subscriber but im out of state right now so cant get to the mailbox)- Nglazer, if you have, could you tell me his 'reservations' about the Ulysses? What made the review less than 'glowin... | |
| Daedalus No-- unfortunately I have never heard the 1.1 or the 2.1 or for that matter, the Ulysses. Of course, I would love to-- and if they are any 'better' than the DA-RMa- well-- that would be amazing. I will certainly try to hear the Ulysses in the fut... |
