| Why does Spectral have such a cult following One of the best sounding systems I've heard was spectral and Wilson at a show. The sound was so crisp and you would almost hear the imaging and soundstage as you walked though the door. I hated the music they were playing but on more than a few oc... | |
| DAC Recommendation around 2.5K How about the ps audio perfect wave II? They can be had brand new at your price if you look. | |
| Why is Dynaudio so much cheaper in Europe? I bought some Avantgarde speakers years ago directly from Europe. There was an Audiogon seller who could get them and he had great feedback. I saved 4000 from what my friend who dealt them was able to get them for. They were like 1/2 price from US... | |
| Dynavector DV20x2H cart for MM phono stage ? For that amount you could get a pretty great phono stage that should offer both MC and MM inputs and you can see what works best for that cart. You will also not be locked into only playing with MM carts, you could upgrade to the even the next ste... | |
| Dynavector DV20x2H cart for MM phono stage ? I had the 20XH and 20XL and I tried them both with the whest 2.0 phono stage. It offers MM and MC at I believe 70DB gain. With either the L or H version I preferred the MC input. It has always sounded weak and light with the MM input. So I don't k... | |
| Focus 160 w/2 JL f113s vs. Focus 380 or C2 II I've tried subs probably 5 different times and 4 of those 5 were pretty frustrating. I have a REL sub sitting in corner right now next to my C4s turned off. I feel your pain. Personally if it were me I would go for full range speakers. It's so eas... | |
| What speakers should I consider around $5000? I think you should consider the dynaudio C1 in your list of contenders. | |
| Arcam r-Cube Portable Cosed box at list price? Your shop won't even take it out and let you hear it first? If so I'd stay away from that place for good. I've gotten similar treatment from dealers I've dealt with and now my motto is do my own research and all I care abo... | |
| what are the Best Direct to amps Digital Players ? It's seems crazy that someone who's system is outfitted with Tara labs zero gold would be limited to 13k retail for their source component. I think the other suggestion that you consider a transport is the right one. There is hardly a choice avail... | |
| Aleph 3 - Its 2013, are they still awesome ? I thought the aleph p was a real boring sound personally I didn't like it much. I would go for the BAT that is a much better preamp and may even give a nice flavor to the aleph 3 | |
| Need advice on how to dip a toe into digital If you are looking to see if digital can sound as good as vinyl I think you will be disappointed if you only Budget a few hundred for a DaC. You have a nice system and a nice vinyl playback rig that might be near impossible to better with digital ... | |
| Bands where U say Def talk talk. Made their masterpiece and then quit | |
| Aleph 3 - Its 2013, are they still awesome ? It's kind of a soft sound very tubelike weak sounding too with weak bass but also very magical with certain music if you love a tube like sound and don't need to crank it up it might be just right. It's gets super hot too. Though it does seem to d... | |
| What should I upgrade first amp or preamp? Since you say you can't listen loud its a no brainier the preamp. | |
| Any Audirvana Plus enthusiasts out there? Yes I agree I was overwhelmed by it when I first heard it. Like all things it has settled in my system but at the time I was thinking this is the best bang for the buck of all time. My only problem with it is the quirks and bugs. I use my iTunes t... |
