    Re: Axpona 2023 Photos

    This was the best sounding of the big rooms IMO. Very nice.

    Re: Best Pure Musical Amplifiers (power not important)

    Don’t want to put words in Ralph’s mouth, but he has described the Class D’s as having nearly identical distortion spectra as his OTL’s.

    He can pick up mine as well. I purchased the Atma-Sphere Class D’s and they are outstanding. Replaced Class A and I’m not looking back.

    Re: Anyone own KEF Blades - either version? Thoughts?

    No surprise as a former Blade owner. They love lots of juice. I tried the Hegel H590 on mine and it simply wasn’t enough horsepower to make them shine. Congrats!

    Re: Ethernet switch test

    I made the exact same transition on the hardware side and couldn’t be more pleased. My ethernet cable is a Wireworld Starlight 8 and I2S is Ghent. Haven’t taken the time to compare to anything else....
  11. Re: Has Jim Smith discovered a magic formula for placing speakers correctly?

    Jim definitely recommends pulling the speakers out into the room. I used the 5’ minimum suggestion as a basic starting point.
  12. Re: Has Jim Smith discovered a magic formula for placing speakers correctly?

    I think if audiophiles did three things as a start to their system setup, they would be in very good shape.

    1. Pull speakers 5’ or more from the front wall
    2. Choose the listening position that...
  13. Re: Has Jim Smith discovered a magic formula for placing speakers correctly?

    Determining the correct listening position is the first step and often the most misunderstood. The use of the ratio Jim has found to be effective works only after listening position is determined...

  15. Re: Has Jim Smith discovered a magic formula for placing speakers correctly?

    What amazes me is that discussions about system setup get very little love on audio forums. Working with the room is the most important aspect of getting great sound but all people want to talk...

    Re: Shunyata Launches - ALTAIRA GROUNDING SYSTEM!!

    Keep us informed on how the Fyne test goes. Very interested to hear the results.
  19. Re: The help of measurements allowed me to take my system to another level

    Did you measure different listening positions to determine which position had the smoothest bass? I didn’t see any mention of it and it really should be the first step in the setup process.

    Re: DAC's $5k - $11k

    Aqua La Scala is fantastic. Pairing with a LinQ (thanks Mike!) takes it to another level. Also agree on the NOS tubes. I added some Telefunkens to great effect.

    Re: Magico M9

    The problem with all of this is that it is so gear focused. A big reason why some of these elite systems sound the way they do is that they are in dedicated, treated listening rooms that have been...
