| MSB vs dCS Bartok I haven’t received the Bartok I have ordered but it’s received universal high praise in all the audio journals. From what I gather it’s darn near a Rossini but lacking the more sophisticated power supply. I would love to hear of a blind test compa... | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars daveyf is all over it. the silk tweeter is a great upgrade sonically. the latest tweeter is very smooth and extended. | |
| I wouod like a power cord recomendation that's in the budget category Shunyata’s venom series look attractive and well built. fwiw | |
| new preamp I would seriously recommend the Luxman C900u. I also think the ML 523 is outstanding. I doubt that spending more will yield meaningfully better sonics. I’ll get beat up but I can’t imagine that you’ll think Mcintosh is in the same league. In addit... | |
| dCS Ltd. now has a US Service Center congrats to DCS. they seem to be on a roll. the Bartok is quite hot. | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars class envy running amok. i doubt that most wealthy people are dumb and if money was not an object a very expensive audio system would be on my list for sure. how could it not be? | |
| Hunt for new floor standers wonder what jbl reissues sound like. the concept is cool | |
| Audioquest vs. Others in my humble opinion the AQ silver cables are phenomenal. i’d buy used even back to niagara which will be better in every way than any of their copper cables. although cable models by all companies tend to change a lot i can’t imagine that true ‘b... | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars what i meant is that in my experience expecting a monumental jump in sound quality from a well chosen 25k amp to a 50k amp that ‘may’ sound incrementally better can be disappointing in that the improvement is not more meaningful. this would apply ... | |
| Hunt for new floor standers fwiw the b&w will hold value as well. | |
| Hunt for new floor standers just looked and i think the b&w 704s2 floorstander would make you very happy. list is 3k new so w a 15% or so discount you’d be in budget. | |
| Hunt for new floor standers i highly recommend buying used. i can suggest the following . also don’t diss a subwoofer. i very much like b&w smallish subs. i think that you can purchase the following used in your price range.magnepan 1.7i if you have enough juice but tha... | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars in my experience the more that you spend on uber high end gear the more likely that you’ll be disappointed. that said if i had big bucks to spend and was inclined to keep things a very long time, i’d put it in speakers. fwiw | |
| Upsampling mr millercarbon... you’re so cynical. why do you post here? i don’t think you’re having fun with audio. how is advertising for golf or cars any different than audio? both have new and improved merchandise every year in order to move more product. ... | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars also... have to wonder why anyone would be concerned how wilson or any other speaker manufacturer wires their drivers. they are simply putting forward their idea of how they think their product should sound. each manufacturer has their own recipe.... |
