| Best Integrated, period. Audiozen, do you sell both Magico and Simaudio? | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? I think all of the last several posts are on target, namely that people have different tastes and passions. I guess this gets back to the question of why fewer are involved in high end audio reproduction. I expect several things are going on. One ... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Focalfan, I think many of the Sunrays available are the result of changes in the US importer and Tidal dealers. I have heard these speakers and all that deters me is their price and size. Your characterization of their sound was true in my hearing... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Maceear, at the 2010 CES Jörn told me he uses the Contriva Diacera SEs, not that this matters much to me. The Sunrays are just too damn big! | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Ojdeteos, I know it complicates things for you, but my room is 18 x 24 x 11.5 feet. The Contrivas Diacera SEs work very well here. I think my room and yours could take the Sunrays. I would advise getting lots of power for either as I doubt they ar... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Ojdeteos, not that I could afford the Sunrays, but I have had the Contriva Diacera SEs for about a year and a half and have heard the Sunrays sound both great and poor with the BAlabo amps in two CES shows. I would imagine that in a large room the... | |
| Best Speakers at RMAF 2011...? Rebbi, I didn't recall hearing it so I looked them up. I don't think I heard them, sorry. | |
| Best Speakers at RMAF 2011...? I thought the Ventures were clearly the best, but also too expensive. Considering price the little $800/pair LSA.5s were the clear winner, IMHO. | |
| Are Headphone amps worth the expense? Preamps can drive headphones. I had one of mine modified to do so. It is great but I cannot stand headphones. They put me to sleep. | |
| world's best preamp closest to real sound stage Pedrillo, I think many factors influence your sound stage realism, such as room treatments, speaker placement, and even clean power, but the best linestage for realism I have heard thus far is the H-Cat P12R X9. I'm not even sure this company is s... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne Tawa, Are they being shipped yet? | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? Lrsky, having several times participated in single and double blind experiments, I have no further interest in them. I could not hear which was the same versus different in 30 sec. listenings. Even one experiment long ago where we did longer liste... | |
| Power Cords--Your Preference? I wonder what percentage of all power cords available the most experienced user has heard. Perhaps 5%. Many that are mentioned on the forums, I have never heard of. It is probably worse than speakers, where again there are thousands of brands. At ... | |
| Magico Room at RAMF How good did it sound I too found nothing much to listen to in the Magico room. I suspect that the LSA1 Statement speakers are their equal. | |
| Gamut vs Tidal I tried to drive my Contrivas with a Rhemo 300B amp. Eight watts don't cut it. |
