Think Its Possible To Order Tubes From the Ukraine?
@teo_audio If you were looking for a way to lose credibility, you've certainly found it. Please take your nonsense political BS elsewhere.  
A warm natural sounding preamp
Warm and natural are mutually exclusive terms.  'Warm' suggests a 2nd harmonic which is innocuous otherwise to the ear. Such a preamp can sound quite natural as long as the 2nd isn't too pronounced and the preamp is otherwise lacking higher ord... 
Think Its Possible To Order Tubes From the Ukraine?
^^ 😁 We ordered some tubes from Ukraine and got them all. We just did it to support but it was nice to see the tubes too.  
Your sub experience: Easy or hard?
When you play the system as loud as you are comfortable with, something with a decent bass line and a bass drum, can you see the excursions? There are two 15" woofers per cabinet. You never see them move.  
Balanced versus single ended
Then there is the argument that the AES48, as an application is a sonic limitation in itself, and is part and parcel and core to the idea that all AES48 applications have little noted differences in their sonic signatures. You might try it. But... 
Atma-Sphere M60 monoblocks + ML ESL 11 = Inferior combo
@andy_wonderwall You've gotten good advice here. Martin Logans are traditionally hard to drive for any tube amp due to the 0.5 Ohm impedance at high frequencies- so an amp like the M-60 will sound muffled. You can fix this by using a set of ZEROs ... 
For classical music lovers best amp for large orchestral forces?
@roxy1927 I hope you've sorted out by now that the mismatch between the amp and speaker is the problem and not any of the components otherwise. If you like the sound of the amp at lower volumes, If I were you I would consider a speaker that is eas... 
Your sub experience: Easy or hard?
you put your listening position in a null spot! Yes: 'Nulls' are caused by standing waves. It was exactly the only spot in the room the listening position could be located. Move three feet in any direction and no problem. I am very lucky in tha... 
Your sub experience: Easy or hard?
I forgot to mention we are talking about two different buzzes. I mean the vibration you feel as if you feel the string moving. @mijostyn  My main speakers use dual 15" drivers each. They can shake the house pretty well; everywhere except the l... 
Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno
@gavman Alternatively how about 'Sensory' by Symbiosis? On the original vinyl, the speed was specified at 33 1/3 which was incorrect. But that is how I always played it...    
Your sub experience: Easy or hard?
nice article and very correct. A sub not only has to match the mains in frequency response but also in time. This is the problem with DBA's. They do a great job of evening out the bass response throughout the room. But, they are not necessarily a... 
Balanced versus single ended
But this is a condition that is vertically nonexistent in high end audio.   The reality is that the quality of the interconnect usually trumps single ended versus balanced for the vast majority of actual systems. I have never heard a system whe... 
amp for ZU Audio Druid V speakers
IME the speaker needs a bit of power; 60 Watts/channel is nice. But its very good for tube amps so you have a lot of options.  
Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno
It most certainly isn't a myth that many speakers, most even, don't provide sufficiently extended bass to do justice to electronica. That is true and those same speakers don't do justice to classical music either! Classical music can have some ... 
Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno
it is about which speakers (not design processes, not designs, but finished speakers) may make certain genres sound better or worse to listeners using them Such a speaker might make a certain recording sound better but its impossible for it to ...
