50-100 watts. Something like a VAC Signature 200iQ would be amazing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

How big of a tube amp would the 704's need in a 14 x 18 room? How about the 703's?

How interesting. These stories are eye opening. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

You were a skeptic! Glad you got to experience “the real deal”! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Congrats! We love our Aqua LaScala. It’s seriously the best DAC I’ve heard under $10k. R2R + Tubes = yummy. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

I’ve owned both and for me, the 703’s hit way above their price point. They play bigger, more bass and smoother than Sopra 2. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Yes, MSL is the most underrated family of cartridges around. People don’t know how many cartridges they make for other companies - like Air Tight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

704’s are great. I bet they sounded nice with tubes! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

@speedskater a. Yes - 2 sets of RCA and one XLR. RCA to VAC amp, XLR to Legacy Focus XD. b. No, just RCA c. Just XLR

Anything from Shunyata - Venom X and above. Alpha NR v2 is what we use on our N200. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Thank you. I had a very excited Euro dealer friend call me and rave about them. We started communicating early in 2022. We had evaluation pairs throughout 2022 and countless discussions. We inked the deal for Jan 1, 2023. Sent from my...

I think I will just stick to keeping Wireworld Eclipse 8 in the system. I may buy some cheap Magomi to try and compare.

OK thanks, so I should get the best level of same brand XLR's I can for this application then?

No hybrid here. Could be a browser setting I’m guessing? Try something else. We will bring the forum up to the 21st century (LOL) later this year. I’m still looking at options. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

True. A few things. They kept asking me and Irv is a great guy. They will have some new things coming - nudge, nudge, wink, wink and we are showing together at Axpona and their stuff sounds GREAT! The funny story is that Irv has been asking me...

Congrats! Good moves. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

It sure is. When another dealer told me his nightmare stories with them, I honestly thought it was him. Nope. It’s not. Nobody is perfect, but I will defend our customers to the end when I know there is not an ounce of wrong doing. David...

One of the stupidest accusations deserves an appropriate response. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

When you accuse our customer of plugging RCA cables into a wall outlet (the stupidest thing I’ve heard in 40 years of audio), rather than look at the likely real cause - your tech likely touched the circuit board with a soldering gun with the unit...

Barry, the Opera is being redesigned at this time and hence why we don’t even have it on our price sheet. It’s the last to get the redesign and Neo treatment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Thank you @SCAudiophile. Yes the rear corners of the room are open I have a back wall about 3.5 feet behind listening position with 12" deep diffusers, so 3 feet open at each the corners into a very large open space. (Basement dedicated room) I...

I am interested in the Focus XD in my very well treated 14 x 18 dedicated listening room. I have a fear that they can be too big? I really don't want to settle for the Signature XD's and have remorse. My amp is the VAC renaissance 70/70 Signature...

Apologies for not responding sooner. It’s been a quite crazy since the Florida show and all the planning now for our three rooms at Axpona. 8 pairs of Clarisys sold and Block systems has also kept us busy! Anyway, to answer your question: with...
