| Audioquest Golden Gate or Big Sur mini-to-mini cable for my car use? So, today I received the Golden Gate mini-to-mini interconnect cable. Immediately upon connecting them, they don't sound any better than the el cheapo Griffin cable I've been using. Actually, it may sound worse at this point, seemingly making vo... | |
| Audioquest Golden Gate or Big Sur mini-to-mini cable for my car use? @ akg_caThanks, very interesting. So, in addition to the analog signal that comes out of my Galaxy S8 cell phone, is there also a digital signal? BTW, the content that I'm playing on my phone is SiriusXM and Amazon Music. | |
| Another help me spend money thread or maybe not.... going to AXPONA @ hughp3Yes, that is an issue with a lot of these newer speaker systems. They have all sorts of room correction technology involved with them. Kii and Eikon sound great at shows, but that is not going to work for me. Personally, I'm just intere... | |
| Thinking to upgrade speakers At that price range, I would also hear the Dali Epicon 8. Sopra No 3 sounded great at RMAF, driven by the newly reborn Classe mono amps. Legacy Audio Aeris should also be considered. If you can get to $29k, run, don't walk, to hear the Vimberg ... | |
| Audioquest Golden Gate or Big Sur mini-to-mini cable for my car use? Thanks, I went with the cheaper Golden Gate, and I had an Amazon gift card my kids had given me, so it didn't cost me much. | |
| Audioquest Golden Gate or Big Sur mini-to-mini cable for my car use? I'm currently using a cable that might be considered the cheapest option -- a Griffin 1 meter cable. It doesn't sound bad, but you never know if a higher quality cable will make a difference until you try it. So, I was going to try one of the AQ... | |

| Another "Help me choose my speakers" thread The new DALI Oberon 5 at $1,100 would sound fantastic for that music! I heard the Oberon 7 at Rocky Mountain Audio Fest and they blew me and my buddies away for the price($1,400). BTW, you can get them on Amazon. | |
| Another help me spend money thread or maybe not.... going to AXPONA @ hughp3Correction: It was actually at RMAF last October that I heard the Vimberg Mino.Vimberg is part of Tidal Speakers. Looks like Tidal will be at AXPONA, and demonstrated in the Bricasti and/or Bel Canto rooms. If Vimberg is at AXPONA, it will... | |
| Full Range under $5k-ish I would say this set of DALI Euphonia MS-5 here on Agon for under $5k should sound spectacular with your vinyl! https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9c0ac-dali-euphonia-ms-5-full-range | |
| Another help me spend money thread or maybe not.... going to AXPONA At the $29K price point, proceed directly to the Vimberg Mino room. They were simply amazing last year at AXPONA. | |
| Time to look at newer speakers? These should sound awesome for your pop/rock music! These are 8 ohm, and 91.5 dB sensitive, so your amp should drive them ok. Hard to beat at the price. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9bcaa-focal-1028be-ii-black-ash-locally-traded-full-r... | |
| Time to look at newer speakers? Hard to give any sort of useful speaker recommendation without a budget. | |
| Paradigm Persona series @ yyzsantabarbara Well, I am not going to buy a set of speakers just to be able to use this offer. My speakers are in excellent condition, but certainly not of the value of the Kef LS50s. I think the original MSRP on them was $800/pair, but they a... | |
| Paradigm Persona series Interesting. I called a dealer in Dallas, and they were not well informed about the Paradigm Persona Trade Up program. The guy with whom I spoke thought that the amount was UP TO 20%, and was at the discretion of the dealer. This is not correct... |
