| Recommend speakers for a large living room Most of the money in multi-driver large speakers goes into cabinetry. HUGE savings are had when it is eliminated, like Magnepan, Sound Lab, etc I too have a large room 38 x 19 x 11 with open stairwells. In decades past I had Accoustat 2 + 2s, and... | |
| Sell your $$$ cables and conditioners... affordable LITHIUM is here! someone suggested a AC/DC switch. Doesn’t the Yeti’s have one already?what about the Delta? Any files buy it, if yes, what's your experience? | |
| Time to buy a class D amp? Over the decades I have owned tube, SS (Class A, AB): I have also owned 2 different older generation W4S amps, Emerald Physics 100.2SE monos, Audio Alchemy DPA-1 (UcD), and PS Audio M700 monos prior to the EVS 1200; it’s an entirely different soni... | |
| Mapleshade...where's the love? I have 6 of them. Datavic, Afterglow, Songs of Love and Death and Single Petal of a Rose are all VG | |
| Parasound Halo a23 I had one on my then Magnepan 3.5R ribbons. It was so hot, even at idle, that I sold itIf you’re looking for a great amp in that price range check out the EVS 1200. I have a AG thread if you’re interested | |
| Amps I Like +1 for the EVS 1200, a dual mono module design in an Italian chassis, with lots of tweaks to the newest IcePower modules and the internal wiring. I probably have 200 listening hours by now, and keep getting blown away as I spin old discs that I am... | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k Does the amp need to have full page 4 color ads in all the magazines and does it NEED to look expensive and be expensive? If your answer to these questions is ’no’, then contact Ric Schultz (Tweakaudio), he is in Soquel, CA. His EVS 1200 is amazin... | |
| Open Baffle vs Box First, my room is volumetrically large with no discernible backwall reinforcement. My box speaker experience includes; Genesis Vs, Usher 6371s, Nearfield Pipedream Accoustics (sans sub woofers), Swan Diva 6s. For OBs; Accoustat 2+2s (2 close frien... | |
| How important is a preamp for purely digital sources? Underwood hifi is offering the Lotus DAC at a great price, including VC | |
| High value, giant killer speakers? HelomI had the same issue when I had 3.5Rs. I tried biamping, then active XO, using a Parasound A23 on the ribbons helped a lot, but it stayed really hot even at idle. I think if my current amp (EVS 1200) was available then, I MIGHT still own them... | |
| $40,000: What 2-channel system would you build? I agree, and so does Ric. He uses 2 independent 600 watt modules and includes 2 IECs, but only connects one. Further, RCA is NOT standardI am not a paid employee, just a very happy customer, so if you want to hear it, then you're coming hereDo a s... | |
| $40,000: What 2-channel system would you build? MrDMy bad, but that only makes the absurd price even more absurdWhat's the old saying? "A fool and his money are soon partedFool is probably a bit to harsh, but certainly an uneducated consumer (with money) is an easy mark, but then again, they go... | |
| $40,000: What 2-channel system would you build? yyZ...The new Nova would be a vg choice, but the new Elac amp and dac/pre, plus Emerald Physics KC II Pros (open baffle) would be an excellent backbone | |
| Maggie owners (past, present, future) what do (did) you love and or dislike about them? I owned 3.5Rs for 2 frustrating years. I tried biamping with W4S MC 250/500 + active XO and subs but could never get what I wanted from them. I replaced them with Emerald Physics KCIIs with Clarity cap and WireWorld XO wiring (which I still have).... | |
| $40,000: What 2-channel system would you build? I’ve been in this hobby for 4+ decades, even owned my own shop. I’ve learned to seek out products that fly under the radar, preferring products without dealer markup (sold direct)Cables WireWorld Series 8, which step below the most expensive is up... |
