| Looking for speakers in a large vaulted great room sure, 901 series 4; i got a pair; black ash; almost free....they sound nice in a room like that; you'd be hard pressed to really pressurize that room into a suitable reference listening room; possibly even AK6 Klipschorns....i have Wilson Audio Sa... | |
| Sum Total Cost Of All Cables In Your Rig? way way to much; but it gives peace or mind....just say Shunyata Omega and call me crazy.......no way Jose'......i stick at SigmaX or Theta....at twice the price, i can still eat if i stay away from Omega....cables....on a $100K system, probably a... | |
| Reel to Reel Options as long as we are discussing this: i have a very nice reel to reel; been all fixed up to latest specs and such...not a $10K unit, but about $2K in it; worked nice 20 years ago and with the updates, expect it still will...HOWEVER...isnt a R2R only... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? i know many have their favorites; and i discovered, only recently, a two person brother and sister group from Australia...who if you have not heard of them or "listened" to their music, it's worth the effort....they have over a dozen album release... | |
| Quboz cuts off beginning of songs i am playing with my Rose150B network streamer; i know, it's a piece of junk and no one likes them, but for now as i build toward my reference system (i will replace the Rose with a Studio Player by WADAX) my simple Rose does not have any problems... | |
| Open Reel Curious For sure; reel to reel is something us baby boomers sort of got sucked into; high end on tape formats that were better than 8 track or cassette. So as a young 20 something i bought a Pioneer RT909; it was cool; ok; and groovy....got rid of it to ... | |
| Informed/Insightful information requested on Tannoy GRF loudspeakers thanks all for your comments and insights....it is all worth while when considering what I was going to do....spend over $13K/US on a pair of Tannoy speakers that I have never heard....not knowing what they sound like or anything about them other ... | |
| Informed/Insightful information requested on Tannoy GRF loudspeakers thanks so much for all the information thus far......it's memorial day weekend here in the USA and it gives me time to reflect back on what has been stated thus far..and maybe new info as it seeps in.....reading what owners have to say is so much ... | |
| Informed/Insightful information requested on Tannoy GRF loudspeakers this is exactly the inputs/information i am seeking; it's all going into account before i go with Tannoys "unheard/not listened" too ever...it's owning a little piece of UK/Scottish history and coming up on the 100th year of Tannoy, albeit no long... | |
| Tin Pan Alley and Thanks to You- which speakers play the tap on the snares the best? i have a pair of rel S812s bringing out the bass that my Wilson Audio SashaV's need "very little help" with...but it does sound differently, and i think, better...but the wilsons sound perfect w/out the RELS....but, i've been told the wilsons woul... | |
| What is a "reference" system? i didnt read any of the post prior; i did not want a bias...reference is what our ears tell it is to each of us....and our wallets....we all know of the multimillion dollar systems that some have...that is their reference...then there are those of... | |
| Im going to regret my cable question with your budget and your equipment i bet you would just be fine staying in the Audio Quest line of cables and inner connects. They have good stuff at various price points and have exceptional build quality. For sure, if you buy something and do... | |
| Primaluna? the auto bias protection fuse circuit works great; sure, the red led lights up for the bad tube; pretty easy to see when a kt120 archs and the system shuts down...the quick blow fuses saved the auto bias board from any damage; simply replaced the ... | |
| Question for those who use REL subs with Wilson speakers i purchased new SashaV's and integrated my REL S812 models (two of them) and could not ask for a better set up; i think they out perform Wilsons Loke'....but due to price point and power, i went with Rels and very very pleased with it.... | |
| Im going to regret my cable question if you want a significant upgrade with exceptional performance at really fare market value price, try the THETA line of Shunyata cable products....i went with SigmaX for my speaker cables (@ $12500.00) but for a 30 foot run of XLR from my tube pre... |
