| power cord for pass 250.8 I am always intrigued by the small companies that could very well be turning out great products at a fraction of the cost of the big-name products. I don't see where anyone has acknowledged piebaldpython's post about NRGCustomCables I went to th... | |
| dCS Bartok vs Aurender A20 @tcbrinkley Did you ever get any more info? I ended up with an A20 and it is great but still want to try a Bartok APEX. Let us know if you get the chance to compare or get any intel | |
| How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you? This sounds like Wilson Audio, which I have. Do not assume everything you read. I recently auditioned a pair of Alexia 1 that are supposed to require lots of SS power. The sounded better and more musical at the same output with an Audio Researc... | |
| Let the best be your guide @rvpiano I just posted to your records and CDs thread This one is connected and so relevant to my day. I upgraded speakers a few days ago. My previous were so consistent where most everything sounded good. My new ones are much more revealing... | |
| Records and CDs This is all 100% personal preference and I still much prefer my records over streaming. I should probably go separate DAC/streamer to compete with my analog but the Aurender A20 is so easy to own and use. My analog is a Rega P10/Koetsu Rosewood Si... | |
| Transparent Audio is anything but Transparent @marshinski15 I feel your pain on both points! I don't start posts much anymore as so many people pick up on one aspect and start off on a tangent and the actual question is ignored. This lead to others responding to their topic and the OP is ... | |
| Need Guidance for Next/Last Pair of Speakers @seadweller I scanned the posts and don't see what amplification you are using to know your flexibility on efficiency level. I have been loving my Wilson Sophia 1 for about 5 years. They do everything right with a very natural, musical and eas... | |
| Vinyl Records - Shipping, max/min temperatures We’re talking about a few days of transit here not 10 years of storage. I cannot imagine anything under controlled conditions across the US is going to cause a problem….like people said retailers ship every day. I understand the concern, but you’r... | |
| Best Options For A Tubed Preamp - $2500 Or Less, Preferably Used To Maximize Value @nightfall +1 for ARC I have went through many line stages over the past 5 years that included the LS 26 & 27. I would not recommend simply looking at them in the sense of the number as your sequential options. I would stay within a gener... | |
| Does it bother you when you see inflated MSRP’s for used gear on AG? I’ve messaged sellers that do this and said with the MSRP you have listed and asking price you’re about 40% of retail; the actual MSRP is this so at 40% I’ll offer this lol I guess you can imagine that doesn’t go anywhere | |
| Searching For Gear Here On Audiogon Thank you….I am good i had another question but decided to delete as sometimes it isn’t worth the effort. I can’t delete the thread so deleted the question Sorry for the confusion | |
| Is Aurender N10 still a good option @saulh I have been using the Bluesound Node 2i for a few years as a streamer only. About a year ago I tried the N10 and was just not impressed. I really tried to love it and got a great deal used. I kept going back and forth and could just not a... | |
| Is it worth it? DAC question +1 kmcong I have had a similar path with my Node 2i I have moved through 4 different external DACs. Going RCA out of the Node to my Preamp makes my system sound so dry, dark and without detail. My progression of DACs all gave an improvement. ... | |
| Corner base trap- to the ceiling? I doubt there is any blanket strategy as all rooms are different. I worked with GIK and made aesthetics a top criteria. I have a bench with windows behind my speakers that creates two corners. I had custom trianglular bass traps made to come up... | |
| ARC REF 150SE vs REF 160S Great....it surely seems like a fabulous amp. Have any other differences stood out since your last post about the improved soundstaging? Sometimes it takes a while for our brain and ears to fully appreciate a change. Why would anyone hate you... |
