| Teo Game-Changer IC's - get on the bus! I use the Teo GC IC in a hybrid system, where my DAC (ExaSound E12) and amp (Red Dragon S500) are SS, and my preamp (Decware CSP2+) is all tube.... right now, it's between the DAC and preamp. | |

| Teo Game-Changer IC's - get on the bus! @waltersalas Good to see you here as well Chris! It's been quite a long time since we've chatted audio, but here we are again! I am with you! Adding the Teo GC upstream has resulted in the best sound my system has attained! Coupled with a pair of ... | |
| Teo Game-Changer IC's - get on the bus! Hey Chris, I agree with Wig as well!! I am getting / hearing the same sonic qualities as he describes, in my system. Well described Wig!The question I have is..... with two pair of GC in the mix, are they additive, complimentary, or will they beco... | |
| Best speakers under $500? Fire away! You'll get as many opinions as there are Agonners here..... I will put my 2 cents in... without a doubt a used pair of Omega Super 3i monitors! | |
| Class D Technology @uberwaltz..... try a Red Dragon S500. I've had mine for nearly a year, and have no itch to go back to SET or any other tubed or SS amps. There's one listed in us audio mart. No affiliation. Put a tube preamp in front of it, and off you go. 6Moons... | |
| Class D Technology I am going to chime in here in favor of current class D amps, with a big thumbs up! I have been in the tube amp camp (both SET and others) for 20+ years, and now I am happy as can be with my Red Dragon S500 amp. No, it's not like a tube amp, but i... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz @Romazicon..... I would love to know your impressions as well! I also run a pair of the Omega Super Alnico monitors. | |
| SET amps (almarro vs decware) I agree with Evank above. I hardly ever have to rebias my A318b. I run it at a lower bias (.170) to get a slightly warmer, more laid back perspective (also very easy on the tubes) to a higher bias (.190 or slightly higher) to get more power and mo... | |
| Transcendent "The Masterpiece" Preamp feedback? Thanks for the snippet of your experience with the Masterpiece, Jay. I am not too worried about the complexity of the build, but thats good to know. Can you give us an idea of how the Masterpiece sounds? I don't know how the GG sounds since I neve... | |
| Is the Almarro 318B For Me?Any Others? I agree with that PF review as well.... just note that was a stock Almarro amp. I am happy to report that my modded A318b has none of the shortcomings described. It excels in the soundstage and imaging arenas, while keeping the intoxicating tonali... | |
| Is the Almarro 318B For Me?Any Others? To Swamps point, yes, they do run hot! I am using a maple butcher block cutting board under the amp. I cut a hole into the middle of it, and installed a quiet computer fan in it so that it blows cooler air up into the amp, and keeps the amp runnin... | |
| Is the Almarro 318B For Me?Any Others? I am running the Almarro A318B in my current setup, and having had a ton of other amps (SET, SS, Tube PP), this one really sings and really gets out of the way of the music as much or more than the others! While it was decent out of the box and ce... | |
| Where to get Arizona Capacitor's Green Cactus Caps Thanks! | |
| Running subwoofer off Dodd preamp Swamp is correct. I have run my ML sub off of the second set of outputs of my Dodd preamp, and I also ran it off my amplifier. I prefer to run the ML off the amp. |
