| Racks - what’s awesome without impacting my kids college plans? It was mentioned above but I've been very pleased with my Timbernation rack. It was custom made to my specs and was approx $2k-ish. Anytime I sell something here I'm always asked about the rack in the photo. | |
| Recommendation Amplifier to match with Shindo Aurieges for Devore Fidelity Nines The Shindo magic comes from a system approach. By using a different amp you lose out on some of the flavor it has to offer, that's not to say there haven't been some nice amps already recommended. My 2 cents - coming from a guy who has a Montrach... | |
| How old are your speakers Jond - "Guesstimating here but I traded a pair of Alon Lotus's for my current JMlabs Micro-Utopias back in 2006. The speakers were definitely used at that point, if I had to guess 3-5 years old so built somewhere between 2001-2003. I love them and... | |
| First Watt vs McIntosh vs Ampzilla Any of the three would be nice. That said, the 3 times I've seen Sean demo Zu's it's always been with Pass gear. That would be a strong endorsement for the First Watt. | |
| Why are so many people trying to sell Harbeths? Mapman - you are correct that was Vu's "budget" room and I (and JOND) both left quite impressed with the new version of the 30.2's. They were the speaker to beat at tat price point. That said, they or anything else I heard at CAP-fest couldn't com... | |
| Did you know....? Mo Tucker of Velvet Underground Fame went on to be.... a greeter at Walmart. Ouch. | |
| Best Audio Writing of 2017? There aren't any that I dislike. Herb is a great writer but I don't necessarily trust his opinion as he never has a bad thing to say about anything. In writing and also gear I identify most with Art Dudley. He played a small part in making me the ... | |
| Amp recommendation for KEF LS50 I second robr45. Having owned both the wireless is vastly superior in every regard. | |
| KEF LS50 Wireless -- wow!!! I stream it from my mac in the other room via Bluetooth. | |
| KEF LS50 Wireless -- wow!!! I had a pair of the original LS 50's which were merely ok. I now have the powered wireless versions and they rock. I use them as background music about the house. They're in a living room that's 30'x20" with 20 foot ceilings and they will shake wi... | |
| Shindo Labs Amps and Preamps Muzikat - I can't speak your experiences but that's not entirely true. I bought my Montrachet amp here on A-Gon and it arrived DOA. Johnathan H. the importer worked with me via phone and email trying numerous different things. When all failed he a... | |
| Magic Moments in listening Eva Cassidy "People Get Ready" from Live at Blues Alley. Recorded shortly after she was diagnosed with terminal cancer. When she sings "I'm getting ready" I lose it every time on cue. | |
| How to identify an mondial aragon 8008 amp from an 8008BB Easy, the BB version is heavier due to the dual transformers and has rca in's as well as balanced. It's also the version you want unless you jump up to the palladiums. | |
| What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience? Fentanyl when I listen to Prince or Michael Jackson otherwise 1990 Latour. | |
| Entry Level Interconnect Reccomendations In that price range Kimber Kable Hero's are pretty hard to beat and used ones pop up frequently. |
