| To Equalize or Not to Equalize OP, don’t buy Schitt. Ask @dgarretson about his Manley Massive Passive in his very high end system. Or @bigwave1 , who I mentioned previously. Don’t take my word for it. There are others here who know what magic you are missing with Schitt vs pro ... | |
| To Equalize or Not to Equalize Google “cello palette Stereophile,” read the subsection “to equalize or not to equalize, a sound philosophy “ and you will get a great discussion from this 2004 review on why what the artist intended you to hear likely is not translated to your ea... | |
| To Equalize or Not to Equalize BTW, best studio analog EQ with excellent cabling (both pc and interconnects) has been game changing for me. And NO degradation when used appropriately and not over dialed. Also, have heard my CO inserted into a 60K system between Mac tube pre and... | |
| To Equalize or Not to Equalize +1, @rbrannen couldn’t agree more! | |
| To Equalize or Not to Equalize +1 for a studio analog EQ. Have one and it’s the most important component in my two audio chains. Cannot live without it! I have stated all this before elsewhere here, but briefly, I have also owned Loki Max. It’s extremely transparent and a good... | |
| AC power cables that are not rigid? Audience Forte F3. Own them throughout both my systems. Very dynamic and balanced sound. Highly recommend. | |
| IsoAcoustics GAIA Another one for the Gaias. Just bought a set and instant improvement in focus, clarity, tight bass. | |
| Ø Audio anyone? Thanks the detailed response! Much appreciated | |
| Ø Audio anyone? @gtb75 what do you think re my potential pairing them w Bryston? | |
| Ø Audio anyone? Any idea how well they’d pair with Bryston B135 SST2 Integrated? A.I. says it would be a good pairing, for what it’s worth (LOL) | |
| Ø Audio anyone? I was quite smitten when listening to them render piano absolutely tone rich, timbre right, essentially flawless, and with giant stage as well, at House of Stereo room at Florida Expo. I am seriously thinking about these for my home. Agree they ca... | |
| O Audio Icon 12 Oh thanks. Will check there. 😊 | |
| O Audio Icon 12 My gear is Bryson B135 SST2 Integrated Amp with respectable onboard DAC (see Mike Lavorgna of Twittering Machines comments), Auralic Aries Dual Femto streamer connected to integrated with Shunyata Theta digital cable, Martin Logan Montage with Tra... | |
| Sting and his Dagostino momentum preamplifier - very cool I had the privilege of being able to hear that amp driving Sonus Faber, as well as my modest Martin Logan Montage. My dealer let me do that to hear what the amp can do. It was eye opening. That’s the best amplifier I’ve heard. Love it. Apparently ... | |
| 2026 Florida International Audio Expo Feb 20-22 Anyone from Space Coast Audio Society attending, and if so what day? I’m going Friday. Also, is there any kind of meeting place for said group? |
