"Succulent" is a marvelous descriptor for (midrange) sound. I'm surprised I've never heard it before. Bravo, Rpfef.
Help me emulate the best speakers I've heard
Spent last summer subletted a flat in Berlin all summer, and had the best listening experience of my life. Emailed the guy who owns it and it was:
-James T Lansing energizer (amp) 460 from 1968
-Pair of Shahinian Compass speakers
-Plus a Pro-Ject DAC dock for the iPhone.
My understanding would be that buying a setup like this would be 4-6k, and I haven't been able to find Shahinians for sale at any price, so:
Can anyone recommend something similar for someone who loved this sound? Ideally on the cheaper (2-4k) end.
Most music will be played from iPhone or computer, mostly mp3 and Rdio streaming, plus a decent amount of vinyl. So basically a DAC, Phono Pre-amp, Amp, Speakers.
