| What 50wpc or higher amps have a totally different sound from Pass Labs, in a good way? @erik_squires and a couple others on here have said Ayre and Luxman. I agree 100%. I just had a Pass X150.8 in my system to try. It's very, very different than the Ayre V-5xe I have. I know the Ayre isn't new by any means but I've had newer Ayre h... | |
| Entry Level Tube Preamp or Higher Quality Used Model? I would look for a used MP-3 and see if you can push the budget a little more. the Pre-amp is the heart of the audio system.Not that the OP said this is a requirement but isn't this one of the few preamps currently made without a remote? That coul... | |
| Primaluna EVO 300/400 Preamplifier owners - let's hear from you With all the great American, Canadian and European made products why would you choose to support China?Maybe because Chinese people are also humans trying to make a living and just because someone is American, Canadian or European it does not make... | |
| spend on the streamer or on the DAC ? @deep_333 Thanks for your response. I bought one of those for my son a couple years ago and tried to use it including the DAC and it was horrible. I forgot I can use it as just a streamer out to an external DAC. I'll have to give that a try. I... | |
| sharp and piercing high pitch /frequency coming out from Harbeth C7 I just had similar and, after trying a different amp, the high pitch ringing went away. I just sent the amp back to the manufacturer to check for problems. | |
| Ever Hear a Tube CD player? Jolida, before it was Black Ice Audio, made a great sounding tube CD player. It took a pair of 12AX7's and rolling tubes really changed the sound to what you liked.If I'm not mistaken, the Ah! Njoe Tjoeb mentioned above was designed by the people ... | |
| spend on the streamer or on the DAC ? @deep_333 How do you get the signal "converted" from your NAS so your DAC can receive and understand it? If the network server is isolated in a different room I believe you shouldn't run a long USB cord or coax so how does the signal get to the DA... | |
| To Roon or not I've used Roon for 2 years and think it's ok at best. Their support is horrible. You have to post on some forum and hope someone gets back to you. For $120 a year you should get phone support. If their product is so bad that they don't have enough... | |
| Are there any bookshelf speakers that sound good on a bookshelf? Vandersteen VLR as mentioned above. They also make a CT version that has a carbon tweeter similar to their high end models. | |
| You can Vote for Most Valuable Lead Vocals (Rock Groups) Jerry Garcia...No way they become what they did without Jerry. | |
| ~$15K floorstanders: opinions sought Look at T+A Talis S300. They look great and sound incredible. They only come in silver or black brushed aluminum. Huge, open sound like I've rarely heard. Vandersteen Quad or Treo would be my other suggestions for speakers that fit into a multi-us... | |
| Power amp recommendation for Harbeth 30.2s I have 30.1s and have used quite a few amps with them and never thought they ran out of juice. I used to use them with Quicksilver 40 watt monoblocks. I now use a Yamaha AS2100. Both sounded great. I'm not sure you could make them sound bad. Dyn... | |
| Main Audiogon site barely works? I've seen no new ads over the past day or so. I just went nuts thinking my refresh stopped working and went down a rabbit hole trying to find out how to "hard refresh" Chrome on a Mac. | |
| Minimonitors Since you liked the Harbeths I would try the 30.1 or 30.2. I preferred them to the SHL5. The suggestion above of the P3 could also work if you added a sub seeing as the low end was the problem. I don't notice any issues with the low end in my 30.1... | |
| Opportunity 105 US model, Can I use it in Europe? Czech Republic? There's a switch on the back. I bought my 105D when I lived in Europe and then moved to the US and changed the voltage switch. No problems. Tidal works fine. A few native apps (mine has UK specific apps like BBC) may not work but I always found th... |
