A friend of mine has had LS50s for a few years and loves them. The only other speaker she’s considering replacing them with are the Metas.

Perhaps a bookshelf? 😉

I was looking at these speakers. I didn’t realize they are considered bookshelf speakers.

And how are they working out?

Just built this monster of a cable to replace the standard one on the Jolida 801ARC I bought from @kvetcha. It needs about 100-200 hours of burn-in time.

Echo Audio and The Music Room are the ones I check regularly. Hifi Shark is a good aggregator. If you’re looking for something specific you can setup alerts, see historical pricing, etc.

One thing I would add is don’t overlook the secondhand market. Upgrade-itis is real and, once you know what you want, you can stretch your dollar there. Nearly my entire system is secondhand. It’s saved me literally thousands of dollars.

Thanks, I’ll check them out. I’ve been keeping an eye on the Zu auctions as well, but I don’t have much experience with speaker cables. I’m not really sure how much of an improvement or change I can expect from one to another.

Any recommendations on speaker cables? Zu Audio? Analysis Plus? Kimber? Coat hangers? I’m currently using bulk cable.

Slee also gives a discount to people who are active on his forum. I demoed the Accession and the Reflex. I actually preferred the Reflex in my system. I thought the soundstage was bigger with more separation between the instruments. It gave the music more dimension. The Accession is more capable...

The Graham Slee phonos are pretty great. I especially liked the Reflex. If you check out the GS forum, they have a loaner program if you want to see how it sounds in your system.

It took a while for them to ship out, but I've gotten everything I ordered.

Fruit cake?

No luck on the Decware forum?

Thanks for the update. It looks like a fun project, but I was curious if it actually turned into a main component in your system or, as you describe, became something that mainly piqued interest in their top dollar amps.

Do you still have this amp? How do you like it now? What are you using it with (if you still have it)?

I ended up getting an extra copy of Magic and Loss. Let me know if you’re looking for one.

I think Newbury goes online at 1pm. What others? I really want to get my hands on a copy of Lou Reed’s Magic and Loss.

The beauty of a Soundsmith is that, not only do they sound great, a retip will only cost you 20% of the original value.

Why does Zu auction them for so much less on eBay? Is it b stock or something?
