| Cables for Audio Mirror Tubadour III @jayctoy I'm using the P2 with my DAC | |
| Versatile, non-fatiguing speakers for a small room under $1500 used or new: advice needed! I bought a two-year old P3esr (non-anniversary) for $1300 a couple of years ago, so I think $1500 budget is doable. I agree that they are not that difficult to drive, but they are a good investment in the sense that they scale with better equipmen... | |
| Devore Fidelity Orangutan O/96 So after a lot of hemming and hawing, I finally decided to pull the trigger on a used pair of Sonus Faber Olympica II. I compared the Olympica Nova II with the old ones, although not in the same location, and honestly couldn't tell much of a diffe... | |
| Cables for Audio Mirror Tubadour III @mesch You can also email them. They were pretty quick to reply. | |
| Thinking about getting a R2R DAC I had similar issues with my Audio Mirror Tubadour III and started bitching about it too soon. After about 50 hours or so, the change in sound was so dramatic that it could have won an oscar. Hang in there! | |
| Cables for Audio Mirror Tubadour III @pastorbob is always right :)I ordered the AE power cord 2P and have been playing it since yesterday. Wow, what a difference! It's like everything opened up a bit further. More details even at whisper low volumes, guitars have more bite, piano has... | |
| Versatile, non-fatiguing speakers for a small room under $1500 used or new: advice needed! I’m using Harbeth P3esr’s in my study/home office which is 15 x 12 x 12. Prior to this I had LS50 wireless in the same room. Let me say this, there’s no contest. The P3esr’s are a winner, hands down. If you want non-fatiguing, these are your ticke... | |
| Devore Fidelity Orangutan O/96 @jjss49 Thanks, man. I'm really intrigued by the Proac D48Rs. Despite the less than stellar audition today, the clarity and vocals were actually very impressive. I agree that tubes are probably going to make a big impact.I'm also considering a use... | |
| Devore Fidelity Orangutan O/96 No one with Proac D484Rs? | |
| Devore Fidelity Orangutan O/96 @jjss49 Thanks, and yes I am quit aware that Harbeth's don't excel at rock and roll, which is absolutely not a requirement for me :)BTW, I saw a local ad for Proac D48R and figured I should check it out. So I went to his house a few hours ago to s... | |
| Devore Fidelity Orangutan O/96 @bjesien Thank you for the recommendation. I had actually never heard of Verity Audio before this. Went to their website but there's no mention of the price. For now, I'm planning to use Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II but will be getting another tub... | |
| Devore Fidelity Orangutan O/96 @big_greg: Thank you for reminding me how great the KEF Ref 1 are. Let me ask you this ... is there anything about the SHL5+ that you miss, any regrets?I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on SHL5+ but wondering how the might perform in my media ... | |
| Devore Fidelity Orangutan O/96 @bjesien So far I've listened to Harbeth SHL5+, Focal Kanta, Devore O96, KEF Reference 1, Sonus Faber Olympica Nova II, Proac (can't remember the exact model), and B&W 802D.I have already crossed out Kanta, Proac and B&W 802D from my list.... | |
| Devore Fidelity Orangutan O/96 @chrisoshea ... well, thank you for the fantastic advice. I can't believe I never thought of doing it this way, especially the last point. Pure genius! | |
| Devore Fidelity Orangutan O/96 The numbers I posted were for the SHL5+ by the way. |
