| ICs with slim RCA Barrels? I have not heard it. I used to live close (relatively) to Nashville. When first getting into upper MidFi/HiFi audio, COVID was just starting so I did not get a chance to visit any brick and mortar shops, but worked with Atelier 13 Audio. Constanti... | |
| Did I Expect too much? @langla4 @larryi Yes, there is a BD5. 36,000€. EACH If you want to go crazy, there is no BD 6, but there is a BD 7 Statement. At 160,000€ EACH, one would definitely be making a statement, lol | |
| Did I Expect too much? @larryi I own a pair of Excaliburs with the AER BD 3. Sounds great. Have you heard the AER BD 5? I would be too scared that I would get the upgrade itch, but could never see myself spending that kind of money on a speaker. Of course, perhaps I ... | |
| ICs with slim RCA Barrels? @stuartk LOL, yeah, I saw that. Mine had no wood option/RCA barrel. Mine were metal, but they attached a smaller/narrower RCA connector for my Exogal Comet, which had the RCA jacks VERY close together. Cheers David | |
| ICs with slim RCA Barrels? LOL, no. Maybe. My set was gold plated copper. I purchased in 2019. I thought, wood? I looked at their website. Looks like they cover the connector with wood. Why, I don't know. My connections are in the rear and no one would see them. They are gr... | |
| ICs with slim RCA Barrels? I used LessLoss IC before I went to XLR cabling. They made me a custom pair with narrow RCA jacks for no additional price increase. An expensive, though not outlandish, quality IC. | |
| Balanced vs RCA preamps @riie Of course, that depends on how level your shelf is LOL | |
| Balanced vs RCA preamps @inagroove noted: "With that said, both boxes have single-ended connections as well to appeal to a broader marked. Why? Many sources are single-ended (ex. my Zest phono-pre is single ended output only, so the cable going into the ARC line-pre mu... | |
| Directional wires/cables cundare2. Do Tell!! | |
| Balanced vs RCA preamps +1 maxdukecapone I own the Arik Audio Motherload XL. Balanced following the AES48 standard, also with RCA. It is a well made, beautifully sounding pre-amp. And dead quiet. I have two amps, the Atmasphere Class D (a beautiful pairing) as well as ... | |
| Beware - FedEx Drivers are forging signatures for delivery confirmation I am fortunate and know both my UPS & FedEx drivers. They do good work, and yes, have way more deliveries than they should each day. Even though, when it is a very expensive item I have found having the delivery sent to a corporate store to be... | |
| What would you save in a fire? @jond Hmmm, that would be a great thing. Of course, Audiogon has only one font lol | |
| What would you save in a fire? @grislybutter I don't know if you are on Reddit, but comments like yours are followed by an /s to indicate sarcasm. Those of us who are unsure of your meaning can see that, yes indeed, you were only joking. It spares a lot of hurt feelings by pe... | |
| Good choice for 20' XLR cable? +1 Mogami XLR cables are made for very long runs. 100' is mot a problem. Cables itself has much less effect on SQ as long as you go with a well made quality cable, like Mogami. Spending 1000s on XLR cable, IMO, is money that can be much better sp... | |
| 300B Tube Amps with 15/16 Watts Per Channel? @atmasphere said, "Put another way, if your speakers are efficient enough that the SET never needs to make more than about 25% of full power you’ll really start to hear the best of what that amp can do. In case there’s any doubt, this is part o... |
