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

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

If you ever access this site via an phone or a iPad, you can try the following : Go to settings, then under accessibility, go to display/text, and then enable Smart Invert. Your screen will invert colors and where you normally have black text on a...

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

Make a list of the rooms you want to hit, starting with 352 and 602. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Suggestions: 1. Buy ticket online 2. Be there before it opens the doors 3. Start at top floor. Take the elevator all the way up. 4. Take stairs down stopping at every floor 5. Try to go the first day it opens (Friday?) because it is less busy...

Many HT preamps have adjustable output volume for each speaker. If yours allow for that, then without making changes to the sub itself, you can set the subwoofer volume in the HT preamp so that it plays lower or higher when playing movies only.

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

You might want to consider purchasing a home that has an unfinished room above the garage where you can build your own listening room to your own requirements. Your wife can decide on anything else about the house; but you will have full control of...

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 use custom lengths XLR cables from Blue Jean Cables made with Canare wiring and Neutrik adaptors.

Congratulations Randy! I am sure that the first listen is much anticipated. I just wen't through a move myself and had exactly the same feelings. Enjoy the new house!

For the objectivists, the difference between different AES/EBU cables comes down to the quality of the materials and connectors. Belden, Canare and Mogami make excellent cables; Neutrik is recognized as producing excellent connectors. If you are...

The Smart Invert looks good enough to me considering that this forum is mostly text.

You already have “dark mode” on your phone and tablet. For example, if using an iPhone, go to settings, accessibility, display/text, and enable smart invert.

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

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...
