| Have anyone experiance with the Musical Fidelity AMS 50 ? It will be very big and very hot. I think it is about 1 ft tall and 1 1/2 ft deep? pure class A. If you can find a suitable place and the heat will not be a problem it would be a good amp (provided it was a good price??) My dealer carries Musical ... | |
| Parasound A21+ or Emotiva XPA-DR2 Parasound Halo line punches way above it’s price point. Many of the Halo Line has been designed by John Curl and I often think it is better to look not at a product brand or model but ask “who is designing and engineering” the piece I might want t... | |
| What a sad world we now live in....... I was lucky, I bought a new Subaru and it has a CD player. I stream via appleplay car app and Spotify, but I am glad I have the option to spin a disc. It is sad about how much goods are not showing up in big stores, in fact whole stores (think bo... | |
| Which 300b amplifier for Devore O/96 How about the Line Magnetic 508i or 805i. Both seem to have enough power, uses the 300 tubes and are a SET. Only reason I mention it is the fact I have the push/pull 216i and it is a stellar amp. Not in your 5 amp list, but seems you are exploring... | |
| Which 300b amplifier for Devore O/96 You stated you are interested in 4 amps, but you listed 5. Which ones are you interested in because I am not sure if it’s 4 or 5....and if 4 which ones?? | |
| Considering switching to Tubes I bought a Line Magnetic 216 integrated amp some years back. This was a very reputable Chinese made and engineered KT88 amp. It’s been fantastic, but I don’t know what the company has been doing now. I think one of the brothers passed away, so LM ... | |
| hi End Hi-end audio is in one’s own mind. Whenever one hears music on a system that begins to allow them to hear music in a way that moves them, impress them or allows them to hear things they had not before.... it is hi-end. Of course people own Gear fo... | |
| Rega Apollo I have the original Apollo not the Apollo-R. I have liked the Apollo very much, mostly the buffer which checks the signal to correct potential errors on the CD. The Rega has a digital out which gives the user the ability to upgrade to the continuo... | |
| Why Do You Love Being an Audiophile? My grandfather pieced together a synthesizer that worked with tubes and he waved his hand over it to change sounds. He kept tubes, wires, capacitors, diodes, flux, soldering irons and many interesting things in two large flat metal boxes under the... | |
| Why the fascination with subwoofers? Interesting comments from all. I see that a carefully chosen low frequency subwoofer can be potentially helpful. I have some Vandersteen speakers and I could supplement them with Vandersteen sub(s) as an experiment to see if I am missing something... | |
| I wan't the best in this price range You stated you wanted the best in a price range but did not state the range. That notwithstanding, the best is very subjective based on many, many factors. It is highly unlikely that you will get a consensus here. The first answer here is the most... | |
| Full range vs monitors with sub I think full range speakers work better if you have the room and acoustics. My take is predicated on picking from a manufacturer/engineer and designer brand that can integrate the subwoofer or low freq driver into the overall design well. Think Va... | |
| What in your mind represents real technological advancement. +1 markalarsonI would add that the 5g networks and ever increasing bandwidth/ data transfer of digital information will allow easy streaming of large volumes of information/data. MQA gets around this a bit, but once this happens full uncompressed ... | |
| What in your mind represents real technological advancement. Modern hearing aids combined with testing and the ability to help 5-15% of the human population with hearing deficiency. Of course, most audiophiles here might not want to admit they have this dreaded physical impairment. | |
| Tidal digital hi-fi vs records These kind of comparisons seem pointless and tiring to me. I think people play the audio medium or media they like...and enjoy. The more ways to play audio, the better. Give me a transistor radio, give me headphones, give me an IPod, give me a str... |
