| Inexpensive Streamer for Office System I've been very pleased with my Holo Audio Red. It has excellent clocking. The imaging is great. The sound is not colored. | |
| I haven't been this excited in a while! I've had second thoughts about my comment that you might be going in the wrong direction. I apologize. The bottom line is this: We all have our personal preferences. Some like chocolate ice cream, some prefer vanilla. Some like bright and lean, so... | |
| I haven't been this excited in a while! In my opinion, you're going the wrong direction. I've been through a dozen speakers and ultimately settled on the Harbeth SHL5plus speakers. I loved and enjoyed them for 5 years, but a year ago I purchased a used pair of Wilson Sabrinas and found ... | |
| Chuck Negron has passed away. 3DN was my favorite band back in the day, and Chuck was my idol. What a voice!!! I saw them at least three times and their concerts were spectacular. I played in a band through high school and college and we covered several 3DN songs, but couldn'... | |
| What speaker is the most musical, one you never want to sell? I've been through 20 pairs of speakers over the years -- Klipschorns, Maggies, Spatial Audio,Tektons, Harbeths, etc., etc. I thought the Harbeth SHL5plus were as good as things get musically, but 18 months ago I purchased a used pair of Wilson A... | |
| Stereophile - Sabrina 5 Such a lot of dissonance, distortion, and high noise to signal ratio in this thread. Please excuse me while I slip away into sonic bliss listening to my Sabrinas, which took me twenty years to finally acquire. The journey has been extremely well r... | |
| Your first concert was to see who and when? Credence Clearwater Revival, 1968, I believe, in the old Salt Palace, SLC. The warmup act -- Ike and Tina Turner. A strange paring of bands indeed. Tina was more than I could get my 16 year old head around at the time. Wild! | |
| Wilson Sabrina X ... oh my God! and Jadis... or? For a limited budget, my Wilson dealer recommends the Michi amps (Rotel's high-end amps). The list includes the S5 (500 wpc) and the X5 and X3. I heard the X3 with the Sabrinas last week and it sounded very nice. Just to make everyone jealous, I... | |
| All Hail the meek --yet mighty – NODE 2i I should have mentioned that I use the NODE 2i as a streamer only -- into a stand-alone Dac. The other gear in my system costs in the range of $15k, but I've never felt the Node was a weak link in any way. I haven't tried a LPS but have been tempt... | |
| Eversolo or Aurender: Options and Opinions I bought into the Eversolo A6 hype early on, but when the product arrived it was very disappointing. While it delivered lots of high-end detail, it was due to an overly hot – and bright – top end. Other aspects of the spectrum were mediocre in my ... | |
| My Caladan Impressons mofojo The Caladans have pretty good visceral impact. I've owned a couple of different pairs of Magnepans and it's true, their visceral impact is minimal. But the Caladans aren't like that at all. They are quite comparable to a box speaker in that... | |
| My Caladan Impressons Bigkidz: Fair question I suppose. Here’s a list of most of the speakers I have actually owned over the years: Klipschorns, Harbeth SHL5plus, the original Spatial Audio M3s, Tekton Impact Monitors, Magnepan 1.7i, Spatial Audio M3 Sapphires, SVS Ult... | |
| My Caladan Impressons Clayton Shaw designed the Caladans and all of the Spatial Audio speakers. Clayton recently sold Spatial and I understand they will be coming out with their own designs soon. They already have a high-end tube power amp and pre-amp on the market. A... | |
| Caladan Rumors and Insights My number was 85, and I went through the same PayPal hassles as you. They are now at full production so you should be getting yours soon. I received mine on Monday of this week. Be patient and give them lots of break-in time and you will be reward... | |
| Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw? Advisory to Caladan Owners!!! If you have ordered or received a pair of Caladans, please know that they require a lot of break-in time. Mine sounded rather lame, with almost no bass, until I reached about 45 to 50 hours of run-in time. At that po... |
