| Experiences With Costly Balanced XLR Interconnects Above $3,000 Because there is no need to follow those standards, and having to buy expensive cables is not a problem for most audiophiles. | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? Musical means it sounds right. Isn't it obvious ? | |
| Has buying and/or selling audio gear changed? As a seller, I don't accept F&F either. But I always kind of absorb paypal fees and shipping charges and insurance, I might just slightly increase the price I would agree to. Shipping before even depositing a check would be great in ideal wor... | |
| Experiences With Costly Balanced XLR Interconnects Above $3,000 OP, I suggest you try every cable above $3k retail. That's the only way to be sure. But since I tried their entire line, I will mention Wywires cables. Yes, every step gave a serious improvement, the biggest one - the last step. But I am talking a... | |
| Has buying and/or selling audio gear changed? Walk away from those who don't take 'normal' Paypal and don't fully insure. Price doesn't matter, no business period. | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system Gryphon also makes speakers, though they are less known than their electronics. Yeah, you meant Diablo 300. If possible, you might be interested in auditioning Kharma and Lansche speakers. They are different from Magico and Wilson. I think, thei... | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system I can tell why not. Because the man has a different idea. He invited us to participate in his idea, not to suggest other possible ways of money management. | |
| Do people tire of audio forums? Yes, positive outweighs negative. This is a very nice and peaceful thread, so I won't mention any negatives, as perceived by me. Good to see many old-timers in one place. | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system Mike, Diablo 333 is a new Gryphon integrated. The previous Diablo 300's DAC and phono stage were both considered excellent. Gryphon is really worth auditioning, especially if you like clarity and power. This is a very solid and reputable brand. | |
| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. One album on a desert island ? I'd go with tribal ambient music. Suspended Memories - Forgotten Gods. | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system He doesn't want to deal with tubes. Another point, after choosing speakers, is whether to go with integrated or separates. Boulder 866 is about $16k, I think, and Gryphon Diablo 333 about $25k without optional dac and phono stage. DartZeel is prob... | |
| Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ? Good tube gear does not calm things down, it is very revealing. So much nonsense in this and other threads. Well, thanks to Mike, there is at least one person to talk to. | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system skysraper, there really are almost infinite possibilities, and $100k can buy truly excellent sound. Choose your speakers first, something that you wouldn’t want to replace for the next 20 years. Take your time with that. The rest will be easier if... | |
| Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ? Now, that’s the spirit. Mike, if you wanted to upgrade something what could it be ? Continuum turntable ? Further improve the wall current ? I did hear the word that DartZeel was the best alternative to tube equipment. | |
| Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ? Mike, unless I missed it, you need a custom tube playback head outboard preamp for your Ampexes. |
