    Impressed with recent Wilson XVX audition - is there anythings that presents that kind of detail without sounding analytical?

    I got a chance to hear a pair of XVXs with Momentum Monoblocks and DCS Stack and was impressed in some aspects. While I have not heard all the top of the line brands and their flagships or near top speakers, I will say I've never heard wood instruments such as upright bass, guitar, cello sound...

    In his interview with Jeff Fritz back in 2021, Charles stated they were working on new drivers are possibly, significantly better than their current ones used in their top of the line Veyron series. He also mentioned these were coming to the whole line in the future for production. Charles...

    Pretty cool to see some nice high end equipment in a production. Scene is around 37:20 and 45:20 mark where you can see them in the background. The show has a great sound track too.

    Do Planar Magnetic Speakers Such as Alsyvox and Wisdom Audio Provide Correct Image Size?

    I'm wondering if large/tall Planar Magnetic Speakers such as Alsyvox or Wisdom Audio provide accurate image size and placement accuracy of vocals and instrument? Would the assumption that dipole versions create better soundstage, as in larger and deeper be correct? The Wisdom Planar Magnetics...

    Is it possible to get better bass in my room or do I need to change speakers?

    I really do love the sound of my EA Micro Ones. Huge soundstage, great detail, imaging and smooth highs for my ears. However, in my current room I have a significant 20-30 db drop in the 100-110hz range, depending on where they are placed in my 17'w x 13'D x 10'H. There are modest amounts of...

    NY Audio Show 2021

    Has anyone heard more about the 2021 NY Audio Show? Their website says tickets would be for sale starting in July but the link does not work and there's still no vendor list. Wonder if they are still having it this year?

    Striking difference with dedicated power outlet (Furtech GTX-D) direct from panel but tripping panel at higher volumes.

    Ran 2x 10gauge, 20amp line and installed Furtech GTX-D outlets, one dedicated for the amp and one for the source components. When comparing the standard wall outlet to the dedicated, it was night and day. It was like going from 2 dimensions to 3 and big improvement in the bass. Like many have...

    Solving acoustics on a 17' x 13'8"x 10' room for two channel

    So the attic idea was scratched and now I'm left with having the system in the office room of which the dimensions are 17' x 13'8" x 10'. I have a corner desk, bookcase, area rug chair and of course equipment rack. First I tried placing the speakers on the 13'8" width wall and it sounded...

    Advice on rooms with angled side walls in an attic space

    We are moving into a new existing home that has a 17‘x13’ living room with 9ft ceilings that I could use as my 2 channel room. The other option is to finish the attic, which is about 1,200 sqft rectangular but of course the side walls are part of the roofline at a 45 degree angle. My question...

    What's going on with Seaton Sound?

    Their website is up, but the phone number no longer connects and there have hardly been any posts recently - even before the pandemic. Wondering if anyone knows what's going on with Mark? I was looking forward to adding another HP Submersive for a stereo sub setup but it would be sad if he's...

    Power, but no sound from MSB S201 amp?

    Has anyone encountered this issue with the S201 or any of the MSB amps? Last night I was not able to get any sound from the S201. The power light is on (both green) and not in standby. Unplugged the unit, gave it some time to cool down, thinking it might have gone into thermal protection but...

    How good is the MSB S201 Amp?

    Does anyone have experience with this amplifier? How does it compare to others such as Ayre, Pass, PSAudio or some of the better Class D amps out there? My understanding it's 200w into 8 ohms but the first 100w is Class A if that is correct?

    What to upgrade next?

    After demoing a Mark Levinson 508 Integrated and Cary SLP-98 and Cary SLP-05, all with HT Bypass, I was not impressed in the minor improvements (for the cost) to the 2 channel portion of my system those three preamps made over the Cary 11a. Enter the Wyred 4 Sound STP-SE with the Stage II...

    Is it odd that the first album release from a female artist is often my favorite?

    I get excited about hearing more from that artist but then usually end up being disappointed :( It's like the magic/energy is gone after the first time... For example, I've been listening to Chantal Chamberland and have been thoroughly enjoying her first album "This is Our Time" and find it my...

    Dartzeel LHC-208 Streaming Capabilities Updates?

    Does anyone know if the LHC-208 has been updated to work with an iPad and stream Quboz or Apple Music through airplay? Haven't found much info about updates and full capabilities on line. Just how good do you think the streamer, DAC and Preamp portion of this unit is in comparison to similar...

    Would Acoustic Foam On The Ceiling Help My Room?

    I am a complete novice when it comes to room acoustics but acoustic foam is rather inexpensive so I though this might be worth a try for my flat ceiling. The room is 14ft wide x 13ft deep and 8ft high. The speakers are roughly 2.5ft from the front wall and I sit about 2ft from rear wall with a...
