| Avalon Time vs Avalon ISIS ? Don't give up your day job dude. | |
| Will power cable work well as speaker cable? Agreed. He's very knowledgeable and generous with that knowledge. | |
| Focal Scala Utopia V1 vs Competition in 2017 Go for it then. Price is fair and it's an excellent speaker. | |
| Focal Scala Utopia V1 vs Competition in 2017 I haven't heard the Sopras, but had the Focal Scala V1 from release until recently. From the reports that I have read, I have not seen a single person prefer the Sopra 3 to the Scala. Note that the only difference between Scala V1 and V2 is a tu... | |
| Avalon Time vs Avalon ISIS ? It would really depend upon your room and whether your components are of sufficient quality that they will show what the Isis is capable of. If your room is small you probably don’t have a choice, but make no mistake the Isis is a vastly superior ... | |
| John Atkinson's thoughts on the New Vandersteen System Nine from LA Show A more hyped treble only does one thing to someone with no hearing loss - make them run out of a room. | |
| John Atkinson's thoughts on the New Vandersteen System Nine from LA Show @erik_squires From what I can tell a lot of (if not most) reviewers (including JA) have significant hearing loss in the high frequencies.

| Preamp - Ayre vs. Audio Research You can't extrapolate anything about the KX-R Twenty from the regular KX-R - they're completely different units with performance that is miles apart. | |
| DCS Puccini internal wire 'upgrade' Still. Unless you're never planning on reselling it and know that you'll like the change, that's not a good idea. | |
| I'm selling speakers for the first time and concerned about fraud It's a big problem that there's really no safe way to do it. You just have to rely on the buyer being a good person and the only way you can get an inkling of that is based upon feedback but that's no guarantee. For very high value items, the on... | |
| DO NOT SELL OR BUY FROM THAILAND So, you had a bad experience with someone in Thailand and thus, the next logical step is to issue a warning against the country as a whole? If there's a pattern of behavior from a country's residents, I can see being more cautious when dealing wi... | |
| Ayre owners and preamp options: seeking advice The Twenty is the only choice. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD @ksattic That’s the way to do it - listen. I was just pointing out that FPGA DACs are not a Chord exclusive - several other manufacturers use FPGAs for the heavy lifting in their DACs (such as by EMM Labs in my digital gear and also MSB and dcs ... |
