| Upgrade Spendor A4 to D7.2? @wqgq_641 I have the D7.2 and they might surprise you with your Rega Elex amp. They are quite a bit more efficient than the A4. I drove them with a tube amp for a while and they were spectacular. Great for piano and drums. | |
| Warmer class D amps for magnepan? I just heard the LRS+ at the AXPONA audio show driven by a pair of Rogue Audio DragoN hybrid mono block amps. The sound was excellent, rich, very full and smooth. The DragoN mono blocks are not out yet but they use the same topology in the DragoN... | |
| Galion TS120 @dz13 Thanks for the info. The use of the term ChiFi is not derogatory in any way. It is used to describe decent quality hifi, made in China, that are of extremely high value. The key is high value. Spending amounts of money that are near o... | |
| Galion TS120 1- The Gallion lists for $4495. The Doge listed for $1999. $4495 for a piece of ChiFi? 2- The NRD video makes them sound more alike than different. Having owned one of these amps and heard another extensively they are as different as night an... | |
| Are Harbeth Super HL5 XD right for me? 12 inches from the wall and 8 feet away is much too close for the second largest lossy cabinet Harbeths. Even 24 inches from the wall is too close- you will get bass peaks. Try the P3ESR and (2) REL T7X subwoofers. | |
| New Audio Technica ART9XA Up and Running..... congrats ! | |
| What are the audio differences you hear with turntable Mats. I selected my current mat by amplifying the weak spot of turntables and listening for which mat did the best job of reducing the audible effects of that weakness. When you know what to listen for and how to do it, selecting a mat becomes easy if... | |
| Why so much love for Mcintosh? Mac are as good as anything out there if they are matched with the right speakers. | |
| Western Electric 12AX7 coming this summer. W/E also said they were going to make 6SN7 tubes too, in fact a Candaian dealer and some customers have samples. | |
| Describe the "new HiFi sound"? I associate it with a flat, neutral response in speakers. A flat response even to the sound's detriment. | |
| Tubes for a pre stage... matched NEW or unmatched identical NOS? I always buy a matched pair when there is one per each left / right channel as in this case. Also for preamp tubes I request them to be screened for low noise. | |
| Cary Audio SLP-05 First Impression @dger1979 definitely a noticeable sonic difference with different rectifiers. Stock Sovtek- kind of bland overall, nothing offensive but nothing great New production Gold Lion- improved dynamics but thick and veiled sound. NOS Amperex- Pun... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @danmar123 thanks. did you get the Linlai global or global elite? | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @pinwa When I first goy my SLP-05 I asked Cary if 1,2 and 4,5 need to be a matched quad. The answer was no, but they do need to be the same tube. Meaning 1,2 need to be a matched pair and 4,5 also need to be a matched pair of the same tube bran... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Does the global elite model sound any better than the global? I have an SLP-05 too, currently using Sylvania 50's GTA. Thanks. |
