| Hapa Audio I don't believe the reviews are orchestrated. They seem authentic as some reviews are not as enthusiastic as others. Generally- they are very positive.. Easiest way to find out about the product is to try it for yourself. | |
| USB cable I have a mint used Acoustic BBQ "Double Smoked" USB Cablelisted on the other main audio website for under your budget.Detailed and very natural sounding. I don't know of any cable in itsprice range that could get near its sound quality. | |
| Acoustic BBQ “Doubled Smoked” USB cable I, too, am a big fan of Bill's(Grannyring) Double Smoked USB cable.It bettered the excellent Curious I had and even the Cerious Matrix cable (Although I have and love all the other Cerious Matrix cables).. All were good cables- Bill's just sounde... | |
| Suggestions for Best Complete System -$1,000 or less??? Vanatoo Encore Ones. $599. Add a pair of Monoprice speakers stands. About $120. Truly audiophile wireless speakers with built in amps and dac. But you MUST stream Tidal or something similar quality. Not MP3’s or Spotify. Easily the best barg... | |
| Review:Nu Force Ref9V3 with TDSS Level 3 Mods Flat4,I'm glad things worked out for you with the TDSS mods. And you started out with a very good amp to begin with! I don't know how Bob Smith does it . He makes your system sound great at a very reasonable price. I rarely post on Audiogon, bu... | |
| Y No YG ? I heard the YG Sonja 2.2($76K) with modestly priced Auralic equipment at Axpona. Really the best sound I heard at the entire show. Super transparent but an extremely involving sound. I could probably afford the Auralic equipment(even though 6 a... | |
| Innuos and Roon I heard the Innuous Statement at Axpona. It's supposed to be around $15k. I can't afford it or even the $7500 Zenith Se. The $7500 model was very good but the Statement-Holy Moly!!! Why isn't everyone talking about this product? Best digital I... | |
| Worst In Show I was at Axpona 2 out of the 3 days. There were several overpriced speakers that were not to my liking. Why bash them? Someone must like them or they would be out of business. Let's concentrate on what you thought was good or good for the mone... | |
| Opinions: Joseph Audio Pulsar vs Dynaudio Conficence C1 vs Totem Element Fire vs ????? A couple years back at Axpona , the Pulsars were teamed with a Hegel H20 amp. Very, very nice sounding. Very open sound.The H20 Hegel is not an integrated like the H360. It's a very underrated amp. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Gentlemen, I need your help. I can't tell if I need a slo-blo or fast blo fuse for my Line Magnetic Dac and 518i integrated amp. I had previously replaced the originals with Chinese AMR fuses. Very cheap but quite effective. I bought slo-blo f... | |
| The New Western Electric 845 Replicas Thanks for the tip. I will give them a try. I know good tubes make all the difference. $450 is very reasonable compared to the ever increasing prices of NOS. My problem with buying Chinese tubes is I never know the website to buy them at. I ... | |
| The New Western Electric 845 Replicas I own a Line Magnetic 518 integrated amp. I'm using the Psvane T Mark II 845 tubes. I was going to upgrade to the Psvane WE845's. Are you telling me the Shugang WE845's are better? In what way? What are the sonic differences? If this is true... | |
| Need Tube Preamp Warmth There is an Emotive Sira listed on here now that fits your budget. I heard my friends- really nice sound. | |
| Hagel H200 with Magico Mini II's? Auditioned the Hegel H200 and the H20 Amp. Liked the H200; LOVED the H20. If the Magico's need power, get the H20. A couple of used ones on Audiogon now. That's what you want. | |
| Hegel Separates vs Integrated amp I've heard both the H200 and the H20 with a separate pre-amp(not the Hegel). Although the H200 was good, the H20 is a keeper amp. Just powerful and smooth. If you could spring for it I would go with separates. Another consideration is the Hegel H3... |
