Best speaker cables for under 500$ (Euros) The gear in question is really top notch, and would definitely benefit from upgraded speaker cables. I don't want to open a can of worms here, but every single cable in that system could be upgraded with good gains made. When I did this, I immed... | |
Integrated amps on a 1,000 dollar budget Oops, and another 12 year old corpse of a thread is re-animated. | |
Suggestions for good cheap Equalizer Schiit loki. Sometimes the answer is right in front of you. | |
Tekton Double Impacts Thanks for your kind wishes, MC, hopefully you will one day take your own advice on maturity. Mofo, Sterophile measured the Enzo, and found a 6 db peak at 60-70 hz, and a 6 db dip at 2000 hz. Since many of the Tekton models do not give the freq... | |
Tekton Double Impacts Ah yes, unfortunately one can still not criticize Tekton speakers in the Tekton thread. That's kind of sad, really, the pack mentality that springs up. They are not perfect speakers. No speaker is, is that so hard to accept? The cabinets are s... | |
New high end processor The OP has mentioned that he has amplifiers sitting unused, waiting to be installed with a new prepro. I'm not clear on whether those are new amps or old ones that he's had for years. It sounds like there are several options being considered, 5.... | |
Recommended Speaker List for Atma-Sphere OTL Amplifiers. Whether the Freya supports the ’balanced line standard’ is kind of besides the point to me. I’ve had the Freya+ for about 4 months now, and it is so above the mid-fi equipment I’ve been using that it really is in a league by itself when you consid... | |
Totem Hawks - my impressions Okay, here’s the thing, At least as I see it. The Totem Hawk is priced point is $3500 or so. That’s a lot of money for most folks. I'm sure there are 10 or 12 pairs of speakers that at the $5000 level, are better than the Hawks. They better b... | |
Totem Hawks - my impressions Gosh. I just checked out these JBL 4429. What an ugly speaker. seriously. And then you look at the price, $5000? For someone looking at Hawks, that just about doubles the budget, no thank you. I'm sure they sound great, but for most the pri... | |
Which headphone sound good using the Creek 5350 SE headphone jack I became curious and looked it up, the Creek 5350 seems like a pretty decent offering. Unfortunately it has a small footprint on the internet.Grado doesn't currently have any cabled models with 100 in the model number. They made a SR100 back in... | |
Thoughts on choosing an amplifier I would also submit that the Aegirs would heat up and possibly shut down occasionally as they are not recommended for 4 ohm loads when running as monoblocks.I've been on an audio journey the last 3 or so years. I owned the C326BEE, the C356BEE an... | |
What country builds the best audio equipment? Funny question deserves a funny answer. England, followed by Great Britain, and then London. Germany was really good but got bombed out of existence in the marketplace some time ago. On a serious note, it's not the country but the gifted indivi... | |
Emotiva not so good There is no way that Emotiva is today's Adcom or Hafler. In at least Adcom's case, they were designed from the ground up by an audio god, Nelson Pass. Emotiva? Typically ordered from a factory in China, and then assembled in the US. The other ... | |
Best headphone under 10k$ I really don't think there is one single headphone that is the best at the $10k price point. One reviewer will say one thing, another will pick another, depending on their individual preferences and associated equipment.I don't think I'd ever buy... | |
Class D is just Dandy! I just replaced a Schiit Vidar with a Parasound Zonemaster 2305 and find it a great addition to my system (and I really like the Vidar!).I can’t speak to the technology points being raised however for myself Class D gives me a level of performance... |
