| Next Upgrade? It might be helpful to draw a sketch or share some photos of the space as the amount of detail is really hard to envision. There are two challenges I’m seeing with this. One is that your listening chair is towards a corner, subjecting it to refle... | |
| A Note For LS50 Owners I don’t own the LS50, though I have heard them and have high regard for them at their price points. I’m only writing to share my appreciation for your post and sharing your findings. Many people come across these types of learnings and don’t share... | |
| Prima Luna evo300 owners @tablejockey I have highly regarded and appreciated your posts and responses over the years, but you are misconstruing my statements above. I also did not say “it’s only an amp you buy if you spend on tubes.” I am very favorable towards the PL abo... | |
| DSP vs. active analog crossover vs. passive analog crossover. What is your take? It will depend on the quality of the electronics that you use as well as the portion of the frequency spectrum you are processing (e.g. just bass frequencies or full spectrum). Personally, I can always tell when a full frequency signal has been r... | |
| What I really hate about some music “I Like to Move It” by Reel 2 Real is probably your favorite song then, right? | |
| To all of the Wilson Audio owners: I would say that the Yvette needed at least five feet behind the speaker to sound its best, but it did sound very good in my space. I only had it about 4ft from the back of the speakers to the wall. Without the extra foot, or maybe even two, there... | |
| LPS Umbilical Cords +1 Everything matters. I’ve experienced huge improvements by building my own umbilicals. The last one I built was to connect the two units of the Aurender N30SA using sixteen 23awg pure silver solid core conductors. While not cost effective. the... | |
| To all of the Wilson Audio owners: I replaced my Wilson Yvette for Scansonic MB-6B, which I did prefer to the Wilson, but with an endgame plan to upgrade from those to a Borresen Z3 Cryo. The Yvettes were a wonderful speaker, but I could not give them the optimal amount of room for... | |
| Prima Luna evo300 owners @tablejockey - What you are saying does not negate my statement, and none of my statements are false. Yes, that one in particular is subjective. I don’t disagree when you say “the stock tubes can be just fine to some ears”, but I do think upgradin... | |
| Prima Luna evo300 owners @thecarpathian I would agree with most of what @yakbob says, though I’ve never really had issues with KT-150s being noisy or dying. Below are my additions. Overall, the EVO series is a very modern tube amp design and sound. This means that the am... | |
| Solid state or Tubes preamp phono stage. @bkeske His review was also not the only one. Just came across this one which coincidentally also classifies the unit as a “classic” tube stage. FWIW, though the unit may reveal more than a listener had heard before, it doesn’t mean the unit is f... | |
| Solid state or Tubes preamp phono stage. I don’t know what to say, @bkeske. I had the same experience as the review. I didn’t even know the review existed until after I tried the unit. For context, I borrowed a friend’s trumpet in stock form to compare for a few days against the Modwri... | |
| Solid state or Tubes preamp phono stage. @bigmac1963 Thank you for sharing your appreciation. Hopefully I did not say anything in my guidance that biased either or, and you made the decision given the considerations that were shared. As with most gear selection, there is usually a tradeo... | |
| Prima Luna evo300 owners @stereo5 Thank you for the kind words. My goal is to keep being an audiophile and serve the community first and hope my business will be successful as a result. It hasn't been easy considering I have limited capital and only a handful of brands th... | |
| Solid state or Tubes preamp phono stage. Agree with you as well tablejockey and it was never my intent to go there. |
