| Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor? Thank you all for your suggestions. Going to take some time to find these speakers. I have ruled out the snail-looking speakers just because I don't like the look. I got a few people talking about Monitor Audio - that will be my first one to au... | |
| Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor? @ronboco How did the FR30's sound? Did you buy them? If not, why? I can't answer why PS Audio requires "proof of booster", but that is what Chris said over the phone less than a week ago. | |
| Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor? @misstl I had a salesman once tell me that the good thing about avanteguarde is that whatever song is played sounds great. I listened to the Wilson Master WAMM Chromosonics a couple months ago - and I wanted to play a favorite Dylan song, so they... | |
| Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor? @emaillists I was also pretty excited about the FR30 - just not excited that they force me to get a booster to hear their speaker - especially since my doc advised against getting the booster - I actually want to sell my direct stream and be done ... | |
| Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor? Thank you for the suggestions Soix and Tomic - I never considered JBL because i thought it was old tech and not very resolving - kind of like Klipsch - but I will go check it out. I got a private email from a gentleman who sold his Sasha 1's beca... | |
| Schiit Audio I cannot speak to the Loki, but I do have the Mani which blew away EVERYTHING in its price class, and even some in more expensive units. I would feel confident with their warranty and that the company is not sleazy like some dealers/manufacturers... | |
| B.S. Node 2i brick (yet another one) I had node 2i no problems. The DAC was lamo, but good value for the money. NAD must not advertise with Audiogon or this thread would have been deleted. | |
| New PrimaLuna versus used Audio Research preamp? I have never owned a PL, but have heard them, I think I would go with a Rogue before I did a PL. I had an LS-27, loved it, but upgraded to REF 6. With SS amplifiers, it has tight bass, soundstage, and clarity. I do not see a need to upgrade aga... | |
| Quest for an external Dac has resulted in me way down the rabbit hole You may want to go to Crescendo Fine Audio. Among others, they have the Chord Qutest. I really liked it when they let me audition it at home. I have a PS Audio Direct Stream and the Chord was almost there. My son has the iFi and it sounds real... | |
| Looks like PS Audio has a hit on their hands with the new speaker I really like PS Audio, their group is very very helpful. I have a piece of their equipment and I think the support is superior. I wanted to go hear these, but they said I could not come because of "covid", which makes me nervous - you could sti... | |
| Totally overwhelmed (speakers under $5k) If you like the Martin Logan Motion series, I don't think you would be happy with Dynaudio (I had the special 40 and returned them) or Focal. If you got Motion 40 or 60xti (or their bookshelves) and put lots of power on them they sound great. Yo... | |
| How much of High End Audio is Horn Speakers? I have Wilson's for two-channel and Klipsch for Home Theater. I had the K-Horns and felt that they were super harsh (could have been the volumes we played them at too). I got the Chorus II's, love em. They are still fun to listen to. I heard A... | |
| Your Favorite Christmas Song-One only Please- Bob Dylan - Here Comes Santa | |
| What song have you played the most? Dire Straits - Where do you think you're going. | |
| Audio Research Ref 6 vs 6SE I have the Ref 6, and have heard the Ref 6SE at the dealer - now I did not do a true A/B, but I can’t say as I can hear any difference. The Ref 6E did use that cheesy plastic remote (thanks McIntosh group). The 6 has a nice aluminum remote - and w... |
