I tested siltech 380 usb compare shunyata alpha .. 100% Shunyata is the choice

Distributor / retailers of high-end audio equipment keep lying to patrons by saying they can’t give them a discount and want to sell stuff at full price. But then again you can find them shelling products let’s say, for example speakers at thousands of dollars off if it has a little bit of a blemish. So now we know they have the capabilities of discounting the product, but they won’t do it unless there’s a blemish on it. Profit margins are extremely high for AUDIO gear and yet they act like they’re not gonna make any money if they give you a discount.

One man's interesting and inciteful take into the world of Hi-Fi. Of course, it would have been...naive of we consumers to think that the Hi-Fi industry could lay claim to any a higher level of altruism than a myraid of other business activites. So for me, I think your full disclosure, "this is my opinion" based approach is a refeshingly honest one. And is to be encouraged. What then elevates an opinion to that of a review? It is the simple inclusion of the relevant measurable data! The relevant measurable data that presumably goes some way towards justifying the 'reviewers' expressed, honest opinion. Opinions and reviews aside, I think the Hi-Fi industry has to face up to the challenge of generations of up and coming kids who entirely eschew the idea of Hi-Fi ownership in favour of the convenience of portable media and near field computer setups. Thanks for your piece.

I appreciate your videos and enjoy your channel I think the ego category is often commensurate with the person’s wealth A Venn diagram would get close to or wholly over-lapping and concentric based on wealth But I see nothing wrong with that and I don’t see it as negative just more money more ego I am more of a HiFi hobbyist and a value purchaser The most valuable part of all this for me is knowing what I want for the best value proposition Then there are the objectivist versus the subjectivist camps, or hybrids, which is a simple way to divide audio people and far too many just don’t seem very happy and are spiky/prickly/touchy Like the Joker said….Why So Serious ? People are either enthusiastic or not by nature and this personality trait is unrelated to things Knowing what I know now, I could have saved a bundle but I chalk it up to a learning curve If I lose everything I could get another “budget” end-game (for me) system in fairly short order Thankfully I found that I just love low-powered SE tube amplifiers and building speakers From a content HiFi hobbyist Hope everyone finds what they are looking for

Really love the theme of this video. It really resonates, thanks. Liked, subscribed (already).

Thanks for your kind words regarding the Florida International Audio Expo - we have the passion!

Well said sir, and I truly hope the same for this hobby (passion really). Happy Listening!

15:08 I have a saying in my line of work…. I can teach you production skills..but I can’t teach you to care ….

Good afternoon☕️🍩..listening at work 🙂

I believe Fyne audio was borne from design/engineering staff from Tannoy. The concentric driver design is widely used by Tannoy in their Prestige range of speakers.

This sounds amazing!

Is it always better to plug into a switch rather than into my router say with a long run of ethernet cable? My router when in my listening room does add noise heard when I listen to my turntable. Can I ameliorate things by putting my router in a room upstairs and plugging a switch into the wall in my listening room?

ODD...take that big pharma...all we need is stereo hear.

Audio Excellence Canada says the E-5000 is bigger than the E-4000 in all sound aspects. Unfortunately E-4000 is clearer in the midrange. Now I am confused...

they look stubby to me

I am Alex I am Greek, I love audio too....NAD!😊 Great review, thanks!

Do you like the accuphase? Cheers from New Zealand

I heard these at Axpona Audio Show with tube equipment (CAT gear) and sounded amazing! they were played in a gigantic room ( 60’ x 30’ ?). Electronics make a HUGE difference with Clarisys speakers. imo

Dummy load can do the job

What about using stramers built in wifi? Is there benefit of using cable? I am usin bluesound

Nice! I am considering these 💥 hate ugly amateur stuff. These look amazing 🎶

Sounds Great! ❤

Got the 280 a month ago with the option to upgrade it to a 4000 or 5000 in a couple of months when they get stock. The 280 is all I need but I might upgrade anyway.

I agree with your take on “detail”. Well articulated. 👍 Subscribed!

Fantastic sound Are these your favorite speakers?

Wonderful styling and great sound even with such a difficult track.

What are they like playing heavy low end electronic stuff? How fast are the bass drivers?

They sound amazing!!

Outstanding!!!

Wow very nice speaker ❤

Has someone who tried both Stillpoints and Franc Fat Foots under both my speakers and components did very little to my Gryphon Audio system. Recently ironically on the Antipodes forum I noticed a few people mentioning Stack Audio products being very good so decided to order some EQ’s for under my Antipodes server- have to say seriously impressed with the improvement of just sounding more open and transparent but in a very natural way. For the money I personally think they are a steal especially when comparing with Stillpoints which are simply insanely priced considering the lack of improvement. Ive just ordered another set for my DAC plus having read the AUVA’s speaker option reviews will add later as my speakers are on spikes on wood floor which is not idea I’m sure.

No good synergy with your integrated VAC ?

I still think Diptyque brings the same level of performance but at a better price point. I will have a listen to both at capital audio fest( I know diptyque will be there not sure about clarysis. )Diptyque our my favorite speaker that I’ve heard sorry I am a bit partial.

How are horn speakers unboxy?

How does the Accuphase compare to the Soulution when driving the Clarysis? Did you try the VAC with them?

Oh may, those speakers look splendid. I have two pairs of speakers. I love them both.

The Toronto Audiofest had the big brother being driven on a CH -Precision source chain 👍👍👍👍

6:54 Track Day Car vs. A Cross Country Touring Car…Bentley…Rolls 🤷🏽‍♂️

4:52 Chill’n and powerful..yup..Scintillas 🥲

I’m getting an aApogee stage vibe 🤣 As an Apogee Scintilla owner from back in the day 😊

Curious, couldn’t you just use a load box or something?

Have you considered using fiber optic converters?

The problem is that the thumbnail was not clickbait? Perhaps, Tannoy qualities are (were) optimized for Scottish ears. Even they are (were) pretty much aligned to British (at large) ears, too. Now, sadly, it seems that fine-tune is diluted. What is next? Scottish whisky made in Sri Lanka? Loch Ness monster converted into an Oriental Dragon?

Interesting. Does the amp really need to be deliver sound or can you just play the a music signal with no speaker attached?

Isn’t the E-800 their current “top” integrated? It’s pure class A, 50W at 8ohms. Their class A amps have always presented their top of the line.

TANNOY is not a household name. They never advertised enough to earn that kind of recognition. However, they built the finest, most accurate loudspeakers since the fifties on. Fyne Audio was the right purchase decision. TANNOY is extinct. They are a buried brand name. It’s tragic. You have spoken the truth.

Great video. I am in the process of getting two AGS. I am already using some diffusors and also some dampening. What really did a lot for me are sound mirrors of @arakas_akustische_spiegel. Quite spectacular. Looking forward to try the AGS.

“I can’t afford nice watches…” That’s because you’ve dropped $50-100k on audio! Watches are a luxury. Hi-end audio a necessity! Enjoy!

OMG I hate you!!!! I work in IT and have a pile of old switches and gear in boxes.. Like I dont have enough to do without spending days slowly driving myself insane trying to hear minute differnces to find the best setup 😧😣😵‍💫
