    Re: Pre amp for ATC active + Lumin X1

    I have tried a number of line stages with my ATC SCM100ASLT speakers. My balanced solid state favorite is the Coda 07x (used with the Coda 06x phono stage). My balanced vacuum tube favorite is the...

    Re: Legacy Audio?

    Although I love my ATC SCM100ASLT active speakers ($41K), the veneer work, even on Legacy's entry level Studio HD speakers is far superior to the ATCs.

    Re: How to position your speakers perfectly

    "But it's also perhaps the most difficult thing to accompish as it can take weeks, months, or even years."

    Or an afternoon by hiring Jim Smith for a RoomPlay session.

    Re: Legacy Audio?

    I've heard several Legacy models. Long story short, one of the best speaker values in audio. Pick the right one for your room/budget and your speaker search will end. Excellent customer service. Made...

    You or many others will find Jim Smith's Get Better Sound book to contain the best speaker/listening position set up methodology along with all kinds of other useful system set up information.

  9. Re: AV RoomService-EVP (Equipment Vibration Protectors)

    I thought EVPs offered good value at $45. They priced themselves out of the market at $89 each. As commodity prices come back down, I guessing the $89 price will remain the same.

    Re: Any Keith Herron Audio fans here?

    Big fan. I've had Keith's gear in my systems non-stop since the late 1990s.

    Re: Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Isolation

    Try the less expensive AV Room Service EVP footers. Jim Smith of Get Better Sound reported a significant improvement, primarily with his subs but also speakers and other components.

    There is a...
  14. Re: AV RoomService-EVP (Equipment Vibration Protectors)

    The construction and materials are very different. As to the sound, I have not tried the Amazon product.
  15. Re: AV RoomService-EVP (Equipment Vibration Protectors)

    Retail for the 2" models is $39 each and the 4" models $105 each unless there has been a very recent price increase I'm not aware of.
  16. Re: AV RoomService-EVP (Equipment Vibration Protectors)

    Tremendous products, tremendous value. I now use them under all components and speakers. In addition, I've worked with a metal worker to design custom equipment racks with butcher block shelves, each...

    Re: Active Speakers - would you consider?

    ATC have been leaders in active speakers for decades. That would be my first choice.

    BTW, I have never heard a class D amp I would want to own. Some that I've heard are highly regarded.
  18. Re: 5 best power amps for $5000 to $12,500...including integrated.

    Herron M2 mono blocks and Coda Continuum No. 8 stereo amplifier. Nothing else I've heard in that price range comes to mind.

    Re: Which Schiit headphone amp?

    To answer your original question, I really like the Schiit Lyr 3 (most recent model). It works well with all my headphones. Reading the various forums, a lot of folks consider this their best...
  20. Re: 5 best power amps for $5000 to $12,500...including integrated.

    Thank you Joe. This group was recommended by Jim Smith and I'm really liking it so far. I miss my Avantgarde Duos.
  21. Re: 5 best power amps for $5000 to $12,500...including integrated.

    Of all the ones I've heard, an older version of the Herron Audio monos. I suspect the latest revision M2 monos are even better.

    Re: Top brands that have no respect

    I'm surprised no one mentioned Herron Audio. I've had various iterations of their phono and line stages in my main system for decades. I have not found anything better for the money. Yes, there are...
