| How do you pick your gear? Tips and insights are welcome. I pick my gear only after I have consumed a lot of adult beverages, it's my cardinal rule. The darnedest gear shows up at my door step sometime later and I just shake my head... I did it again. Great gear comes and great gear goes, I am just alo... | |
| An audio component you just can't let go I ripped all my CDs onto an external hard drive, but still am super fond of my Oppo 105 CDP. Of all the components I have had over 50 years of having good gear, the Oppo DAC's are the best combination of sonic excellence vs. price. I have had ... | |
| ???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard??? Easy question... my Pass Labs First Watt J2, which makes my Cube Audio Jazzon speakers sing. It has the euphonic sound of a tube amp. | |
| Why are Harbeth speakers expensive while its drivers are not. I have heard Harbeth speakers at many audio shows and they always struck as kinda "meh", nothing that I fancied at all. Even if they were a quarter of their retail price, they wouldn't interest me. They are nice furniture, that I will admit. ... | |
| That Transformational piece of Gear We All Wish For After a variety of sub-$1K dacs that all sounded pretty much the same, for me the Ayre QB-9 dac sounded so close to vinyl that I promptly sold my SOTA Sapphire TT with vacuum platter. I have never looked back. | |
| LAIV Harmony I ordered mine about three weeks ago and see that it will be delivered to me today. It will compared to my Aqua La Voce S3. I am excited to get a shiny new toy. | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread Contemplating a move abroad, I have decided to part with my "shoe box" version of Don/Lynn's 300b monos, which were recently upgraded to the maximum extent possible. My ad is on AM. | |
| Isolation platforms for Cube Audio Jazzon speakers Heck of a deal, my Townshend rep called me just now and opined that the solution to the problem of my inability to level them can be solved by higher-capacity load cells in front Sound Bars. He is getting them out to me without a concern of payme... | |
| Isolation platforms for Cube Audio Jazzon speakers I got them today and am having a hard time trying to get my speakers levels with the adjustments with these Sound Bars under my Cube Audio Jazzon speakers. Information from Townshend has not been helpful. I sorta got them leveled and frankly ... | |
| Isolation platforms for Cube Audio Jazzon speakers I ordered the Townshend Sound Bars which are expected to arrive in a few days times. I remember when I put Iso-Acoustic GAIA footers under my Spatial Audio M4 Triode Masters whereupon the improvement in SQ was instantly apparent. I am hopeful fo... | |
| How Long Should a First Watt SIT3 Last ? The First Watt amps all have different sonic signatures. I currently have the FW J2 driving my Cube Audio Jazzon speakers in place of my 300b monos and the SQ is sensational with a tube preamp. The J2 actually yields an even broader soundstage t... | |
| Isolation platforms for Cube Audio Jazzon speakers Thanks Ozzy, these seem quite affordable and effective, but there is no way to attach them to the bottom of the Cubes, so the Townshend Platforms or Sound Bars are the best alternative. This comment from the company seems very dubious: Here ... | |
| Isolation platforms for Cube Audio Jazzon speakers Gents, I ordered the Townshend Seismic Sound Bars today for my speakers. They are less than half the price of the Seismic Platforms and might be nearly as efficacious. I am sure that they will be a nice improvement. My Italian friend with upgra... | |
| Mood Great topic you teed up. Some days my system sounds awesome and some days it doesn't quite get there. As noted above, "ear lube" helps my system and "swing lube" helps my golf game. I embrace lubricants for a variety of enhancements in my life. ... | |
