| AR Ref 160s or Luxman M10x @lldd I own the ARC REF 160M's and love them. Delicate, nuanced and beautiful. I listen mainly in triode mode to acoustic, folk, singer songwriter. The only thing they don't have is the slam of the best solid state amps, but I don't miss it. | |
| Holo May KTE vs. Lampizator Atlantic 3 TRP vs. Mola Mola Tambaqui @rikkipuu I have the same assumption that a Lampi w/o VC should be equivalent Lampi w/ VC set to -0dB, but results indicate otherwise. You make good points and I will likely reach out to Rob. I’m beginning to think the preamp section is defective... | |
| Holo May KTE vs. Lampizator Atlantic 3 TRP vs. Mola Mola Tambaqui @designsfx hundreds of pages of posts on tube rolling... this has become one of my least favorite parts of being an audiophile. Could you pretty please give me the TL;DR summary of some of the top output tubes you've found for the Atlantic? As wel... | |
| Holo May KTE vs. Lampizator Atlantic 3 TRP vs. Mola Mola Tambaqui @rikkipuu That's what folks do, set the Lampi DAC volume to 0 dB to effectively bypass the internal preamp. Indeed, that's what Rob told me to do. When doing this into PrimaLuna EVO400 preamp, the bass falls apart and sounds like a blown woofer, h... | |
| Holo May KTE vs. Lampizator Atlantic 3 TRP vs. Mola Mola Tambaqui @gregjacob Just google F2a to el34 adapter. Some pop up on eBay for $24 each. I got mine from tubeadapter.com which is a reputable Chinese site. | |
| Holo May KTE vs. Lampizator Atlantic 3 TRP vs. Mola Mola Tambaqui @audioman58 a friend of mine had Mola Mola and T+A, he ended up selling the T+A. To each his own. @gregjacob Siemens F2A goes in the output section, you would need 2 of them, I'm running 4 because I have a balanced unit (they're super expensive i... | |
| Holo May KTE vs. Lampizator Atlantic 3 TRP vs. Mola Mola Tambaqui @carlsbad2 have heard great things about GG3. I’m very happy with the sound of the Atlantic 3, just need to sort out the connectivity issues. If I go anywhere it will definitely be up the Lampi line. So glad you weighed in on streamers. I had my ... | |
| Solid State Power Amps I've owned the PrimaLuna EVO 400 and a couple different Pass amps. While perfectly sufficient I prefer the all ARC REF system I'm running now. Speakers have been Wilson Sasha and now Harbeth M40.1. | |
| DSD coming to Qobuz streaming? DSD files are significantly larger than high res PCM, so this is quite the achievement! Thanks for letting us know! | |
| Harbeth M40.1 vs. M40.2 vs. M40.2 Anniversary Edition vs. M40.3XD UPDATE! @pdreher @jjss49 I picked up a pair of M40.1 in cherry. Not the rosewood I preferred but still nice. I’m loving them! They give me that familiar glorious midrange that my P3ESRs have. Vocals and acoustic instruments just make me fall... | |
| Harbeth 30.1 or 40.1 @snackeyp Interested to know if you still own the Harbeth M40.2 Anniversary. I'm debating on this speaker or 40.1. My preference is a warm, smooth sound with beautiful midrange. I've loved my P3ESRs (not the Anniversary or XD version) for 10+ year... | |
| Harbeth M40.1 vs. M40.2 vs. M40.2 Anniversary Edition vs. M40.3XD @donquichotte it seems from your assessment, I’d likely be safe with any iteration of M40. @jjss49 i can’t thank you enough for the comprehensive comparison. I scoured forums for days and I’m glad I asked. I read in one review of the XD, that th... | |
| Harbeth M40.1 vs. M40.2 vs. M40.2 Anniversary Edition vs. M40.3XD @jjss49 You don't think I'll be put off by the upper frequencies of the Anniversary & XD editions? That's the primary reason I want move away from the Sasha, I've tried, with some success, to tame the top end. Tube amps, room treatment, R2R DA... | |
| Rega Planar 3: Is the Exact a significant upgrade from the Elys 2? I lived with the P3 w/ Elys 2 for 5 years and thought vinyl was a cool hobby. It wasn’t until I upgraded to the Exact that I understood why analog playback is so beloved. It’s significantly better, I wish I would have purchased it originally. | |
| Wilson Sasha W/P amplifier pairing @macg19 Harbeth P3ESR. Love them. Will never sell. |
