| Sonus Faber Maxima Amator next steps Sounds like you are almost there. Add a quality (even small) sub to the room and you will be very happy. | |
| Pass Aleph 0 or Mark Levinson ML29 for Wilson Watt/Puppy 5.1? I like/use the MIT Matrix 60 HD. Although I think the Matrix 38(?) would be good too. Here are some Matrix 28 for a reasonable price. ($425 USD) https://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/650277999-mit-matrix-28-speaker-cables-8-0-pair/images/599... | |
| Build a system around speakers in the $5-$7.5K Wilson W/P 7 MIT Speaker Cables | |
| Pass Aleph 0 or Mark Levinson ML29 for Wilson Watt/Puppy 5.1? You will enjoy the Alephs. Also think about power cables and speaker cables to maximize the synergy. | |
| What do you like about your integrated amp? A small word of caution from a true-crime enthusiast - make sure you can trust whoever the guy(s) are that help you move your amps or other equipment. Too many stories of somebody that saw something they wanted, or happened to later mention your ... | |
| New GR Research Magnepan 2026 Crossover upgrade I think it's too early to ask.. I wish him well, but I would also think that Magnepan owners are not really in Danny's crossover upgrade universe. | |
| Power cable for digital sources I built some diy Acrolink 7N 4020ii plus Oyaide silver P|C-037 connectors which turned out well; they were nicely detailed but very smooth. Used them on both transport and DAC. Eventually went to all silver cables on the DAC though for more dynam... | |
| Sum Total Cost Of All Cables In Your Rig? $6.5K used, probably at least double that new. Power cords and interconnects that maximize the performance of the electronics, and speaker cables that maximize the performance of high end speakers - should both be considered components themselves... | |
| My Bluesound Vault 2 died. Where to next? I have a new in box Vault 2 in white; pm if interested. | |
| Is Jay making a mistake? Amazing sound room being created @secretguy I think more people make fun of audiophiles that have invested $200K systems and live in NYC or in less than1,200 sf "homes". | |
| Fritz carbon 7SE MK 2, Upgrade Really suggest - think more about what it is you like and what else you are looking for in an upgrade. Also think about midrange driver material. I strongly prefer paper and possibly carbon fiber cones. I have heard plenty of good/pricey speakers... | |
| Revelation Audio Labs Cryoed Silver Umbilical vs Audio alehcemy OEM @tweak1 My experience was good as well, just slightly 'extended'. I was just relaying that Brad may be amenable to a little price flexibility. His flexibility is a plus and shows he is customer focused. I don't think product pricing has any rela... | |
| Revelation Audio Labs Cryoed Silver Umbilical vs Audio alehcemy OEM I have completed a set of RAL umbilical cords recently, and offer: 1. The cables are a significant improvement over stock cables. They are well made and sound great. 2. Brad can make a cable to fit your specific needs (I asked for 1.25M length) ... | |
| What exactly is critical listening? Who does it? It is at first impression a matter of semantics. Critical can obviously mean at least two things - one connotes negativity - ie a person being critical points out negative facts, [their] observations, or perceptions from a real or supposed (usuall... | |
| Looking to Develop A Short List of Amplifier Candidates For A Pair Of JBL 4367 Speakers Interesting that suggestions range in price from about $2K class D to $48K (Vinnie Rossi). Big gap there. I haven’t heard current class D; would second the suggestion for Mark Levinson. Maybe try Pass or Hegel or Musical Fidelity too, especial... |
