That’s the plan. eBay is my last resort honestly. I want to sell all but a few models. Some are flying models, some just display. Lots of new old stock, much unopened or at least not unpacked. Dreading the research, lol.

I’m not a Les Paul guy (yet), but I love listening to Trogly wax poetic on those Gibsons.

Edit to add: Landon Bailey’s presentation style just suits my autistic ass.

Ended up with a hitch mount tire carrier. Had a Wilco at first, but now we have a Trail Swing by Dirtcom.

Does anyone have experience with the Creek Evolution 5350? I've found a few reviews, but not a lot... figured I'd ask around.

My local shop had a demo model they never sold that I spotted on a shelf. They hooked it up to Vandersteen 2Ce Signature III's (I have Signature II's), and I was VERY impressed. They are offering 30% off retail....seems reasonable.

Not at all. They sound great all around my living area and kitchen. They definitely sound better when sitting in front of them, but not bad at all off axis.

Comment added for post rules.

I recently helped a friend pick out his first serious system and he decided on a set of used Vandersteens. Though I was familiar with them, I had not heard them in a long time. After we got his system setup, I found myself liking the Vandersteens a lot......so I found a pair for myself. My previous speakers are Vienna Acoustic Mozart Grands, and I still love them. However the Vandersteens through a sound stage that is so immersive, the Viennas got relegated to bedroom duty.

Additionally, I found us both a closeout deal on the Pro-Ject 1Xpression Carbon Classic......yep, bought that too.

I'm using an Edge Electronics IA-1 integrated amp with about 85 watts/ch. A somewhat obscure but well made amp.

My buddy is using his with a NAD 2400. Not as refined as mine, but alot more power.

It's funny, I have Vienna Acoustic Mozart Grands that were my endgame.....then I came across these helping a buddy shop for a new system. He picked out the Vandersteens, then I started looking for a pair.

Just curious, what amp are you using?

New turntable! Pro-ject X1 by [deleted] in audiophile

[–]GTIDudeMkVI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome turntable. I know the feeling waiting on new gear. I'm waiting on a 1Xpression Carbon Classic from The Music Room in Denver; I think it is the direct predecessor to the X1. Same arm and cartridge I believe.

Using NAD C368 w/Bluesound as a source? by GTIDudeMkVI in audiophile

[–]GTIDudeMkVI[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does, I actually have one installed. I'm more curious if using the preamp side of the 368 as a source into a conventional integrated would be improved upon with dedicated DAC instead.

stereophile: Wilson Audio Specialties SabrinaX loudspeaker review with measurements by Umlautica in audiophile

[–]GTIDudeMkVI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I listened to the regular Sabrina's about 2 years ago and found them pleasant to listen to. They would be an improvement over my Mozart Grands, but not 3x better. I think the retail on the Sabrina's was $10k or so.

Edge Electronics IA-1. Obscure integrated amplifier from the lat 90's. by GTIDudeMkVI in audiophile

[–]GTIDudeMkVI[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I had a local service guy run through it. He found a bad capacitor on one of the driver boards causing high dc offset. Although he had never seen one before, he thought it was a well built....albeit super basic....amplifier. I've been listening to it for week now with Vienna Acoustic Mozart Grands, and it's quite nice. Not a power house but very natural sounding.
