| Kef Blade or Kef Blade Two for bigger room Get the Blade 2s and two REL S/5 SHOs. | |
| The truth about why modern music is so awful. Agree, Pop Music is pretty awful. There are however a lot of artists and recordings that are not mainstream that are amazing. You just have to look for them. | |
| Best multi-purpose subwoofer Have a Rel S/5 SHO. This is one amazing sub. Ck out the Rel line. | |
| Recommendation on power amp I would suggest auditioning a pair of the BHK 300s. Really incredible power amps for the money. They are about 15k, so in the price range. | |
| Sophia Electric Blue glass Just replaced some Sylvania 6SN7GT circa mid 1940s NOS with the Blueglass in my Cart SLP 05 SE and I have to say I am sold. The best way I can describe it is there is some extra magic here. Expensive but I would definitely recommend. | |
| Suggestion for best stereo amp ? Happy with my BHK 250. Upgraded tubes to some NOS Telefunken. | |
| Clean Power without the drawbacks of Conditioning Filtering. Advice? CK out the new PS Audio P 15 or P 20. Super clean AC with very low impedance. I think there is a trial period. Highly recommended. If price is a consideration, there are some good deals out there on a P 10. Also a dedicated 20 amp circuit or t... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD Good CD player, mediocre analog set up. Digital has come a long way and in some respects is a much better medium than analog but in other ways not quite as good. I am surprised that the analog had better bass weight because that is one area that... | |
| PS Direct Stream latest firmware, "Snowmass" Agree, at least in my system, the DSD was the winner compared to the T+A Dac 8 DSD. Had a chance to borrow one. Nope, keeping the DSD | |
| PS Direct Stream latest firmware, "Snowmass" Upgraded to Snowmass, and there are some improvements but it isn't day and night in my system. Still like RC a lot. Never had the problem with hash or edgy vocals with RC. On some discs, still like RC better. It might be that I am just so use... | |
| What amps should I audition? Lots of options. Check out Paul's stuff at PS. Audio. Bascom did a great job on the BHK line. I am running a BHK 250 with a Cary SLP 05 SE (their upgrade mod). Really happy with the combo. Nordost Frey wires. | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) I would look for a used pair of Thiel 3.7s. or even 2.7s. A real bargain and will sound fantastic if you have the right equipment upstream. The Vandersteen Treo is also very nice. | |
| Roger Waters Amused To Death Amused to death, at least the remastered version is amazing. I don't think it is the recording. On my system and on the few others that I listened to it on, I would put it in my top 20. That said, regarding content, it is a matter of personal t... | |
| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? I don't know if what I have is super high end, I have about 75k in my system but I have to say for me it is worth every penny. I am very happy with the sound. Most of my equipment is used from Audiogon and US Audiomart so if you purchased it at ... | |
