| Need Advice on Amplifiers @mike4597 I had the original ST100 and am not familiar with the Dark version. I can tell you that I’ve not experienced lack of definition with that amp, driving it with Rogue RP1, RP5 and Pass XP12. Indud upgrade the tubes in the Rogue preamps as ... | |
| Wall outlets @digsmithd I actually just replaced FI-28R on my FP-S32n power cord that’s on my DAC with FI-50 R and the improvement is beyond what I anticipated. Really nice across the board how it just opened everything up. | |
| Wall outlets @celtic66 very nice! | |
| Wall outlets @celtic66 what connectors are you using on your dps-4.1 cables? | |
| Finding a Power Amplifier for Luxman C-900U I would pair that luxman preamp with the luxman m900u amplifier. Magico speakers love power and sound somewhat warm, if not a bit dark. Luxman amp would be a good match. If you want Pass amps, the X250.8 would do the trick. The Pass XA60.5 are Cla... | |
| All ARC vs All Pass Labs vs All CJ system compare Is a national GPS day? As far as all ARC and all Pass Labs, different sound. I assume we’re talking about modern ARC and latest Pass gear. So it’s tubes vs. solid state. It’ll boil down to your personal preference. ARC, especially their Ref serie... | |
| Base trap spacing @wolf_garcia GPS? | |
| Wall outlets @vthokie83 that’s a smart move to keep the R outlet for potential future use. As your system evolves and improves, you will find the high frequencies get more refined. At that point there’s no longer a need to warm things up with a gold plated out... | |
| Wall outlets To amend my earlier post, the outlets I have are the Furutech GTX-D NCF, not the regular GTX-D. | |
| Wall outlets @erik_squires I had a Leviton hospital grade outlet from HD. It stripped the plating off the AQ Tornado AC plug, plugging and unplugging that cord several times. I sold the cable (not because of stripped plating) and replaced the outlet with Furut... | |
| Wall outlets @shtr74sims Furutech GTX-D Rhodium outlet is where it’s at. I installed one before I ran two dedicated lines and the improvement was immediate. It goes thru some insane break in until about 250-300 hours. It starts out sounding amazing then takes ... | |
| Am I broken? Am I stuck? Do I have to return my audiophile card now? I own the original Sabrina and love the sound. However, every component upgrade, be it amp, preamp, DAC or cables, brought further improvements to the overall presentation. You can upgrade your DAC and possibly cables to start with. Yes, you won’t... | |
| Base trap spacing @shtr74sims I’ll tell you why I think moving the outlet to behind the system is a better strategy - it allows you to retain your current power conditioner and the cord feeding it it gives you an opportunity to use a much better, high quality... | |
| Help me choose an Audio Research preamp/line stage (Please?) I’ve owned LS-15, LS-16, LS-25 and Ref1. Based on your requirements, I’d go with Ref1, 2 and 3. Also LS-25 (original, not MkII) would fit the bill. The Ref series preamps sound big and dynamic. The LS-25 is a touch leaner sounding compare to Ref ... | |
| Recommendation Request for Tube Power Amplifier @mazian +1 the Rogue ST100 should do the trick It is a clean and quiet for a tube amp but in triode mode it should give you more of that tube sound you seek. |
