| Tekton Impact Monitors I'm getting closer to pulling the trigger on the Impact Monitors. I'll have a couple of options for amplification, but I'm curious what folks are using "in the field" and whether folks with "real world" experience with them might opine on whether... | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? Kosst should move for a directed verdict.Mr. Paul. I apologize if I missed it. How are you testing the "perfection?" By looking at measurements, or by listening through speakers, which, by any objective standard, are imperfect? If the latter, ... | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? @willemj. From my cold, dead hands. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts +1 on Dennis Had's stuff. Have the 17 watt KT88 SEP and two pres. Great values, imo. Got outbid on a 2a3 SET a few days ago....@aricaudio. might be calling you soon. | |
| Advantages of beryllium? Any chance hipsters and headphone folks save some of it?I'm front end of "Gen X." There's a few of us...maybe waiting for estate sales and Goodwill drops when the heirs look at those ancient lightbulb radio thingies and giant speakers that don't ... | |
| Looking for a monitor with great midrange Depending on gear and music/listening preferences, perhaps lightly used Spendor. Could certainly do much worse in the $1k range. | |
| Denafrips Ares DAC has arrived... need help with Oppo connectivity @whitestix. Thanks. Another example of us folks hearing things (or not) differently. That's great on the Don Sach's pre. At some point, I might upgrade one of the Dennis Had Inspire pres. If I ever do, Don Sach's pre is on the short list.@dav... | |
| Directionality of wire Mr. Kait has 1194 positive feedback v. 2 neutrals from the same person several years ago and 0 negatives. Many seem to include Machina Dynamica items.Just throwing that out there. | |
| The SLP-05 Ultimate Upgrade For those who've done the upgrade, does it still sound like a Cary SLP-05, just better? I haven't sent mine in. My biggest concern is doing the upgrade and it sounding like something else and losing what I think is wonderful about the SLP05. | |
| Denafrips Ares DAC has arrived... need help with Oppo connectivity @whitestix. sounds like a very nice setup and probably at least as "resolving" as any of mine. do you hear differences in cables? particularly power and digital? I generally don't.btw, how do you like that don sachs pre? | |
| Denafrips Ares DAC has arrived... need help with Oppo connectivity Agree it seems odd. As much as I think many DACs sound more alike than different (at least in comparison to speakers, preamps, and amps), the Ares was the most "different" sounding from the others I've recently tried/owned. Not necessarily bette... | |
| Dealers hijacking the discussions Bo has avoided this one? Wow. | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? Mr. Paul. I have an ancient Sony strd1011s in the closet that kind of does what you suggest a perfect amp does. There's a bunch of goofy low-fi surround/reverb effects that allows one to approximate what different seating positions and distances... | |
| Advantages of beryllium? The Focal Utopia cans are sublime. Hope my ears don't fall off or whatever Be does to you. | |
| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? @gdhal What! No steampunk .01%er Audiogoners? |
