| Tube Integrated With Clarity I had a Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II and with upgraded NOS small tubes it sounded incredible, smooth, clear, atmospheric sound stage and plenty of power. The kicker for me happened when I traded it in. The dealer had been playing a set of HE s... | |
| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? @ibisghost Depends on your speakers and your amplifier. In my case it was worth the effort in a previous system. I had floorstanders with dual 6-3/4 inch woofers that had their own set of speaker termminals. They had another set of termin... | |
| Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD Pass Labs INT-60 Integrated Amplifier (moon-audio.com) Better sounding than the Luxman IMHO with the Harbeths. Better match tonally- the Pass has such a clean and clear midrange and low end authority. Class A gives on-demand dynamics and woo... | |
| Midrange Increasingly Harsh Try switching the output taps on the speaker connections - If you are using the 8-ohm taps try the 4-ohm and 2-ohm. | |
| Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum - Worth spending $700+ for Mk.III version? The new IIIs are shipping with KT 88 tubes. Do NOT get that amp with KT-88s. If you can find a nice CM- II with low hour KT-120 tubes go for it. The CM II is a winner. | |
| Luxman L-509X as a preamp since you do not already own the Luxman integrated what possible advantages could it have compared to a standalone preamp? the idea of manufacturer to manufacturer synergy is not necessarily going to give you the best sound for the dollar. I... | |
| new First Watt SIT-4 Heard it at AXPONA driving cube audio speakers. The system sounded disconnected for lack of a better description. Too much bass and midrange- booming and glaring at the same time. There are likely much better speakers for this amp. | |

| Are higher end preamps worth the investment when you are only streaming Tidal & Spotify ? I am also a preamp first audio fan. brings everything to life. yes. don't underestimate the quality of your streams. | |
| Class A integrated amp recommendations Pass INT-25. Best sound for the money and perfect for higher sensitivity speakers. More dynamic and transparent than the Luxman models. | |
| New KEF R11 META : The Real Giant Killers ! No they are not. | |
| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? Even with a manufacturer with a stellar reputation there is the room size, acoustics and supporting system to match with. Not easy to do if you have demanding preferences. | |
| Crossing Left and Right Speakers does the reversed image sound the same if the amps are non-reversed and you turn your head away from the speakers? | |
| Superconducting speakers, are they on the way? Would you be first? Not without an amplifier that is .0000000002 ohm stable. | |
| Crossing Left and Right Speakers There sound should be no different other than reversing the channels of the recorded output left to right and vice versa. Unless- 1) Something was inadvertently wired out of phase. 2) The room acoustics affect the sound of the left and right ... |
