| New room needs new speakers, I need your help Have to agree with the Clayton Shaw Caladans, being open baffle they need more room. I had them in a small room for a month or so, but really started to shine in a larger space.....and soften up. Otherwise I LOVE my Caladans. ++1 Joseph Audio Pul... | |
| Speaker List narrowed down… aj523 I heard them at Upscale in L.A. while on a business trip, I was there to listen to the Vintage 10s....they were driven with Manley electronics, not sure which one but I think it had EL84s. I fell in love with the Vintage 10s, and decided t... | |
| Help me find my ideal Stereo Integrated Amp I know they don't have phone inputs, but if I were in your shoes, I'd strongly look at the new Hegel H400 and H600 integrated amps. I've heard the H390 a lot at a client's house, and just got to hear the new H600 which he upgraded to. Speakers wer... | |
| Speaker List narrowed down… Which Fyne 10s are you considering? The F1 series and the Vintage series are both brilliant, but are very different.....I do lust after a pair of VIntage 10s The Classic series is really really good as well, but I did not get to hear them side by... | |
| NOS Amperex 211 vacuum tube I'm in a similar boat, I've got a large tube selection of hard to find/rare 12AU7 and 6DJ8 families. I hate to get rid of them, but it's probably the better part of an Aurender streamer in value | |
| ???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard??? Though not an integrated amplifier, I'd throw in the CODA S5.5. 50 WPC pure class A, and more in A/B; 100 amp current capable. An end game solid state amp for me, drives all of my speakers easily (even vintage Infinity RS Kappa 7s). Doug Dale at ... | |
| 6SN7GT VT231 TUBES Brent Jessee, great source of information, huge selection, good guy to deal with.....he doesn't give his stuff away, but he has the inventory | |
| An audio component you just can't let go Infinity RS Kappa 7 speakers, bought new off a dealer's showroom floor in 1989ish.They have managed to survive 30 plus years of my life, but with some wear. These were my first audiophile purchase, and are incredibly important to me. I had the fo... | |
| Help Deciding On New Speakers For Small Room, $10k budget ++++1 for Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene if you choose stand mounts, they have been stellar every time I have heard them (dealer demo, audio show, or friends home)....and they seem to be a little more forgiving of electronics If you like horns or h... | |
| New Electrical Circuit OP I ran a years long test using a bunch of high end receptacles, and came out with a few winners: Furutech GTX-D(G gold) or GTX-D(R rhodium) depending on your tastes, Oyaide R-1 which has platinum and palladium coating)......these stood out amo... | |
| Power cord Yet another post from an OP to get engagement up, and all of us talking. This is happening a lot on Agon lately. This same poster has done the same with another thread he started about receivers for SF speakers | |
| CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports Don Certainly sorry to hear about your health, and here's to a positive outcome. That is amazing news on the Jay's transport, and great timing. Please let us know your thoughts when it arrives! | |
| Reasonably priced preamplifier gopaljeen $7K to $8K will buy a brilliant preamp, and some of these are as good as you will find anywhere. They are definitely "different from the herd", stunningly hand built point to point wired, and use the highest quality components available... | |
| What is your favorite budget streamer? Used Bluesound Node 130 (I currently own), or the new Bluesound Nano.....though I don't have any experience with it. | |
| 30 yr old speakers- time to replace drivers? I wouldn't spend money upgrading the drivers and crossovers unless the speakers have a real special place in your heart.....it's just not cost smart in my opinion. I did that on my original 1980s Infinity RS Kappa 7s, but I've owned them since ne... |
