| two way v. three way speakers So Bo, I missed your response to my question about whether or not you have heard the X350.8 in your system before buying it or whether or not you buy other equipment without first auditioning it.I have directly compared the XA160.5 to the XA160.8 ... | |
| two way v. three way speakers Bo, I don't mind you denigrating the Pass XP-20. I've directly compared it to the XP30 in my system for two weeks. The 30 is better and once that becomes a priority for me in my system, I will probably upgrade.What I'm curious about is that you se... | |
| two way v. three way speakers Thank you for your advice Bo. You don't have to believe me, but everything you have described in your systems from the blacks, to the 3D to every great adjective I have read you use in your many posts, I have that in my system. But also a few thin... | |
| two way v. three way speakers Bo, I have found that the 2D versus 3D experience can be very dependent on how the speakers and listener are placed within, and interact with, the room. I have heard very good 2D systems be completely transformed into 3D when someone comes in and ... | |
| Tidal Piano Cera or Magico S3 The OP was asking about the S3 which is so new that I have not had a chance to hear it yet. Audiolabyrinth, I have heard the Q3 though and it is one of the great speakers available today. It is extremely well balanced and neutral sounding. It is m... | |
| spring loaded platform non-suspended turntable There is no question that your SP10 would benefit from some kind of isolation. Minus K has the advantage that it is mechanical and does not need a compressor. However, as was mentioned earlier, the load need to be centered and the unit needs to be... | |
| Tidal Piano Cera or Magico S3 Now that you mention it, Audiooracle, I have heard the KEF Blade. I was underwhelmed and left wondering what all the fuss is about.Audiooracle should disclose his KEF dealer status. | |
| SME 20/2 w SME V arm- Cartridge recommendations I owned an SME Model 10 and now the 30/12. I used the Sumiko Celebration and AirTight PC-1 on the 10 and now have a Supreme on the 30/12. I believe the AirTights are designed partially on SME arms as are the Sumiko cartridges. They are an excellen... | |
| two way v. three way speakers I own the Mini 2. In the right room, the right system and properly set up, this two-way can astonish. I chose it over the 2 1/2 way V2 and the 3 way V3, primarily because of its coherence and neutrality. In my system, the Mini 2 provides a very bi... | |
| Tidal Piano Cera or Magico S3 Audiooracle, have you compared the Blade to the S3 in the same system? The S3 is very new and not many people have heard it yet? I'm also wondering if you are a KEF dealer. The OP was not asking about KEF speakers and you jumped right in in the fi... | |
| What's a good alternative to Pass Labs? How confident are you that your speakers and listening seat are in the right places? The tonal balance issues you describe can be altered by addressing how the speakers are reacting to the room and where you are sitting.Start with sitting in the s... | |
| Pass Labs XP-20 or Audio Research Ref 3? Bo, You should start your own system thread to share news and views of your audio world. | |
| Pass Labs XP-20 or Audio Research Ref 3? I have two questions: Do you listen to analog? What speakers do you have in your system? | |
| Pass Labs XP-20 or Audio Research Ref 3? Do you use room correction to get a 3D soundstage and imaging or do you use it to address frequency issues in poorly designed rooms? Or is it for something else? And why do you think you are the only person who understands this and can use that Au... | |
| Pass Labs XP-20 or Audio Research Ref 3? Bo, I was interested in what you think is a "stunning" pre amp. It is now clear that you don't really want to share your opinion. That's fine.I'd still like to see a system description and some photographs though. |
