Re: My Stereo System Plans and The Perfect Analog-Only Duo
No doubt, my audio desires are evolving during this process. Most likely I’ll purchase the Harbeth 30.2 XD bookshelf speakers for Harbeth’s unique sound qualities. And the Harbeth 30.2 XD is fairly...

Re: My Stereo System Plans and The Perfect Analog-Only Duo
Thanks for the wise advise everyone. I’m keeping my Focal Stellia headphones and I’ll mate them with an portable DAC headphone amplifier. I canceled the expensive Luxman P-750U for now. Next I’ll...

Re: My Stereo System Plans and The Perfect Analog-Only Duo
Good to know about the NAD M50.2. That’s exactly why I created this thread so I can find out things to avoid, get solid advice, ETC. Admittedly, I’ve done an excessive amount of reading and lusting....

Re: 2020 Stereo Floor-Standing Speakers To Consider For $7,500 To $15,000
For now I had to put the flagship speakers to the back burner as I just got a Chord TT2 and Focal Stellia headphones. They are on the way and I’m super excited. Next I’m shopping around for a power...

Re: 2020 Stereo Floor-Standing Speakers To Consider For $7,500 To $15,000
That is too funny. But what a great price. I would jump on $10K for just nearly new black gloss Sopra No 2 speakers nowadays.
I can not see me purchasing below the Focal Sopra series. I am... -

Re: 2020 Stereo Floor-Standing Speakers To Consider For $7,500 To $15,000
I did some ballpark math against the Focal Sopra series recommended room sizes. And I considered a comfortable want to need guesstimate. I did this by taking the max square footage recommendation,...

Re: 2020 Stereo Floor-Standing Speakers To Consider For $7,500 To $15,000
From my research and inquires I have found that the Focal Sopra No 3 is noted to be a step better than the Focal Sopra No 2. A step better that is well worth the added cost. I also have found that...

Re: Who are the Kings of amplifier technology?
I was considering several integrated purchases around $5K to $10K. The Mark Levinson No. 5805, the McIntosh MC9000, and the Marantz PM-10, or the NAD M33. Leaning towards the McIntosh despite the...

Re: 2020 Stereo Floor-Standing Speakers To Consider For $7,500 To $15,000

I upgraded the power supply on my Gigafoil v4 to a Weiss PSU 102. It’s very nice step up. But with the new model, you’re looking at $2000 before even investing in a SOTA linear power supply.
