| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one smoffatt I have not heard the vitus SIA-025 but one of the concerns I have is that in some of the reviews I read is that the reviewers hint that the magic disappears running the amp in the higher output mode. Can you or anyone else comment on this? | |
| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one This is one of the more enjoyable threads I've read in years. DEnon1 there is currently an Aavik integrated that is being offered at a very reasonable price. TAS went Gaga over the unit if I recall. I have the gryphon, Aavik, T&A, and th e ... | |
| dinosaur ISO player... 24phun:. A LOT of us have Cary 306's. I' m very interested to see what direction you ultimately end up taking. The option I'm looking at is to upgrade with a separate dac. It sounds like your really beholden to hdcds. You may want to look at ... | |
| Upgrade for Cary 306? HI George,I realize I' a little bit late with this but I'm using an Cary 306/200.Russell | |
| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? Agree with Stringreen. Have you ever seen anyone list an ad for someone selling a Vandersteen Model 7? Must be a lot of happy owners... | |
| Audioengine B1 Bluetooth - Really Surprised Just curious if anyone tried upgrading the interconnects that came with the unit to something more robust (for lack of a better term) and what were the results. Heavy interconnects obviously won't work due to the size / weight of the unit. | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? Gslone: how does the 1738 compare with other cognacs at that price point? The best I've found to date is Pierre Fernand Reserve ($55 - $65). The Delamain Pale and Dry is the next step up but trying to find it for less than $100 is challenging and ... | |
| Audioengine B1 Bluetooth - Really Surprised Mattmiller: all I can say is "Lighten up Francis" ;) | |
| Audioengine B1 Bluetooth - Really Surprised Bcgator, I smiled when I read your review. I've had it for about 5 or 6 months now and been using it to stream Pandora and have been impressed with the results. The next step is to try it with some high resolution files. Stay tuned. | |
| Any alternatives to Astell & Kern DAP's? I'm leaning towards a fiio x5 which supposedly supports24 bit /192. It can be had for about $300 new or $250 used.....stay tuned. | |
| Redbook CD Is Not Dead I really like the quality of HDCD but has anyone noticed that the title releases are geared towards Baby Boomers? If they're like me (with failing hearing), don't you think from a marketing strategy it would make sense to introduce more current mu... | |
| Hot Tuna "S/T" Fjn04, Too Hot To Handle is better than any so called audiophile record I have and Jorma's playing is nothing less than phenomenal. I also agree that blue country heart is also superbly recorded. I'd like to pick up something more recent but hones... | |
| Anti-cable purchase $500 for two meters. | |
| Why does Spectral have such a cult following I think part of the mystique has to do with the fact that certain models could only be used with MIT cables. I don't agree with the early comments in this thread about the sonic characteristics. Some of the best sound I have ever heard was with Sp... |
