| Doge 8 Clarity with tube upgrade or Primaluna EVO 300 About 6 years ago I contacted Doge asking why their kit isn't true balanced (which IMHO is where True Hi-end audio begins) . His answer was pathetic, more of an excuse for his mental lazinessIf you've paid any attention, over the last decade more ... | |
| Speakers for Manley amps Emerald Physics open baffle speakers should be an awesome match. They are very efficient and an easy load to amplifiers. They should sound magical with Manleyshth | |
| Emerald Physics CS2.3 My room is large 20+ x 35+ x 12ft peak. I started with KCIIs with both Clarity cap and WireWorld internal wiring upgrades. While they sounded really good I need more speaker in this room. I came across a fantastic close out on the EP 3.4s and was ... | |

| Oppo's gone, now what dvd/bluray to buy (Oppo BDP-105d) Most expensive SACD players start with the 105 guts then use better power supplies. I found a bunch of LPMs on Ebay. One company had very helpful how to photos. I also replaced the IEC with a Rhodium IEC which came with a pure silver jumper to th... | |
| I think is time for new speakers.. check with GR Research. He bought a container of speakers and is selling them for a great price, though I don't recall if they are < $800 | |
| Preamp suggestions again with size considerations I had a Hattor passive (no buffer) and LOVED it, but had impedance mismatch issues with my amp. Wish I could have kept it.I replaced it with an Audio Alchemy DDP-1 and PS 5 (outboard PS) which I am no longer using. If interested, see my ad in AA o... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report mofi SACD Carly Simon. I listened to it a couple times before moving my speakers 4 ft farther apart and was not impressed. Last night I decided to try it again, and was blown away | |

| Versatile, non-fatiguing speakers for a small room under $1500 used or new: advice needed! All speakers sound best a couple feet out from the wall. I resolve this using cheap wood dollys from Harbor Freight. Move them in/out. Helps a ton with finding best placement in the room. Go to Underwood HiFi and see his specials LSA 10 Signature,... | |
| Classical music, symphony AND planar speakers Reclusewhere in SE are you? I live in Ft Lauderdale. You’re welcome to come hear for yourself. I have owned Magnepan 3.5Rs, had a long in-home audition of MLs, also owned Accoustat 2+2s. Aside from the 2+2s the others simply lacked the foundation ... | |
| Pondering a change after 30 odd years... What makes the 1 +1s so attractive is they are slim almost disappear, but Maggies are both wide and tall, they look more like doors | |
| Power Conditioners To those who say PLCs don’t work, I say, you haven’t heard really good ones. Many that I have owned obscured the music; PS Audio Power Plant, Furman; my BPT was pretty good thoughI have a 20amp dedicated line to my system outlet, but still benefi... | |
| $1500 to spend... Here you go. Looking at his pictures, the OEM jumpers SUCK. I replaced them with easy to terminate bulk OCC from WireWorld. Also, I moved the XOs off the base which vibrates like crazy. Additionally, no telling how he has them positioned, and ... |
