| Stupid Asking Prices- Why Don't Sellers Read Audiogon The Blue Book First? this... Who cares what price a seller lists their item for? Their price, their business. If you don’t like the price, counter-offer with your price or move on. | |
| Premium Power Cable Survey: The Results Are IN Thanks for the effort - interesting results. My responses were closer to the majority or 2nd ranking more so than I expected. I.e., I don't have a higher-end PC for every component nor have I spent a fortune. | |
| Any Raven Audio Reflection Owners? Thanks for the assist @arafiq - I don't have the ability to message members so hopefully he'll see that you and I tagged him. @willgolf I would appreciate your opinion if you own/owned one. | |
| Wilson Sasha DAW - Ideal Integrated Amp For Streaming This doesn't answer your question but I heard the Sasha's yesterday at my local dealer with a BAT 90 pre-amp & amp and they sounded truly amazing. Source was a $30K SME TT (dont know which one) / Koetsu Jade / ARC phono stage. Congrats - ho... | |
| speaker cables under 1k for Harbeth 30.2XD? I have 30.2XDs. I've used a few different speaker cables including Nordost and landed with Zavfino OCC cables (a Canadian company). Their conductor cleaning and break in process is unique, and they sound great right off the bat. I use their Nov... | |
| Tubes, Tubes and more Tubes... Also, most tubes were made for TVs, not audio. Maybe, maybe not, but some of the most sought after tubes are military & medical grade, which I'm guessing we not used for TVs. | |
| Cartridge Advice Please dhite71 If interested, talk to Erik @ Solypsa. He is the US distributor for Aidas - they start at around $4K so maybe a bit more than your budget though. (I went from a Hana ML to Aidas so a big jump in $$$$) - fully detailed in my virtual system.... | |
| Cartridge Advice Please Maybe look at Aidas (which I own and love). Not well known but a beautiful, bespoke instrument IMHO, warm, detailed, great bass. 0.4mv output. My GN PS is set to 62dB gain, 65 was tad too much. | |
| Questions about Resolving Systems $7K DACs and $6K min on cables... If you got it, spend it - but I'm sorry but this is not good advice. You can achieve system synergy that works for you in your environment for a lot less but more importantly, just throwing big bucks at it won't... | |
| Are Harbeth Super HL5 XD right for me? I also find that they are very sensitive to toe in. @arafiq Me too. Jdougs - while mine sound best at higher volumes 10-12ft away, at lower listing levels they also sound great at 6-8ft. A good place to start is point them 2-3 ft behind your ... | |
| Questions about Resolving Systems There are a lot of great answers here. But for me, in a nutshell, it's a balance of detail and warmth. @vonhelmholtz I get what you are saying. I don’t know the answer, but the first thing I thought of when reading your post was the album Frid... | |
| Recommendation for sub with high level inputs +1 for REL X 2. I own 2 T9x with a hybrid Yamaha 5.1 / Raven 2 channel system in a relatively large room and they kick. | |
| Are Harbeth Super HL5 XD right for me? I think you'll be surprised by the bass response especially in a small room. I brought in a few records to play when I auditioned my 30.2 XDs. One of them was an older MOFI Dark Side of the Moon. Even the shop owner was somewhat surprised at how ... | |
| Budget re-cabling +1 @lak A lot of bang for the buck with the Raven brand of cables: https://ravenaudio.com/shop/ | |
| isonic CS6.1-PRO ultrasonic record cleaner Very interesting, thanks for posting. I just acquired a used Audio Desk and so far I am very impressed with the sonic results. Cleaning 10 at a time seems like a great feature, but I like the roller-brush feature of the Audio Desk - it has to hel... |
