| binding posts @mazian I think if you’re bi-wiring (2 sets of speaker cables, one amp) or bi- amping (2 sets of speaker cables, two amps) you’re right, you don’t need jumpers. That said, I had good luck to my ears replacing my stock brass plates (~$4K pair o... | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? I have to imagine most of those who are considering spending $40K on an amp (not me) would take the time to compare and determine their answer to that question? My experience listening to $40K+ amps (not sure what you mean by ‘when someone tells ... | |
| Recommendations for HiFi Listening Room @brewerslaw - marginally more than a newb myself, so take the following with the appropriate dose of salt. You’ve rec’d a ton of great advice already - lots to consider there. I would also endorse the Harley and Smith books mentioned, if you’... | |
| Streaming with the Hegel H390 The 120 and 190 got the Roon ready update early March, but unfortunately nothing yet for the 390 or 590. Hopefully soon. | |
| Best Phono Stage I think you’re getting some great rec’s here. Another +1 for the Modwright 9.0x. I love mine and expect to stick with it for a long time. Admittedly have not had the chance to A/B it with many of those mentioned here - I suspect many are great. | |
| Dunlavy SC IV Speaker- Any Good??? Could email these guys with any specific questions on them. https://www.thehifipodcast.net/ They seem to know their stuff, each own the Dunlavy’s (one a III and one a IV I think) and they’re over the moon on them. I believe they’ve talked about re... | |
| $100K system build - % breakdown of spend Thanks @petaluman and all others. Fair point about the room. The room now (and in the future) is not a TV room. I think windows will be the main obstacle. Similar to my room now, I’m probably destined for a main floor room, mostly dedicated to hif... | |
| $100K system build - % breakdown of spend I suppose the benefit of subs depends on how low your speakers go, at any price. Granted, the Sonetto’s only go to 42 Hz, but I think the Rel’s (19 Hz) would be additive to many very nice speakers. They make an enormous difference in my room at hi... | |
| $100K system build - % breakdown of spend Thanks for the replies. A little color: The current room is multi-use and has more glass than ideal, but all in all could be a lot worse. Irregular shape, about 15x20’, with 18’ ceilings. Setup takes a little dialing in with an opening on one sid... | |
| Audio Research I/50 No meters, I don’t believe. | |
| Audio Research I/50 Ah - maybe it was there (lbtech link) all along and I missed it the second time through somehow. Thanks @stone1 | |
| Audio Research I/50 @rsfphil i had linked to a preview above that, at the time, said something along the lines of “like all Audio Research’s recent offerings, the I/50 will have auto bias…”. Curiously, the article has been changed and no longer references that. Can’t... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A vs ModWright PH 9.0 Thanks @thiefoflight - much appreciated. | |
| Herron VTPH-2A vs ModWright PH 9.0 I just posted in the Analog section wondering about Modwright, Luxman and Allnic phono pre’s for use with an AT Art9XI. Anyone have any experience with Allnic’s newish H-5500? Or care to project based on experience with a 1202? Thanks. | |
| Audio Research I/50 Curious to hear reviews here and to learn what’s next for ARC. |
