| Buchardt e50 reviews @dwest1023 - Congrats on the new speakers. It’s sounds like they are a home run. How would you compare them to the Buchardt 400 mkii speakers? What would you describe as the nuanced or stark differences? @artistx - Those Wharfedale Linton speake... | |
| Upgrade to sound quality of Dynaudio Heritage speakers @jmascian - Congrats. I suspect you’ll be pleased with that amp paired with the Dynaudio speakers. I use a Solid Steel amp stand in my office system. They’re made in Italy and are high quality and, in my opinion, aesthetically pleasing. They come ... | |
| Selling collection directly in the pacific northwest? @lizardloungerecords - I’m also in Portland. I second Echo Audio as a worthy option if you want to streamline and simplify the sale of those audio components. You’d make more money selling yourself, but if time and expediency is important, Echo is... | |
| Linear Tube Audio - Micro ZOTL - version -3 Update on upgrades I understand where AudioMan58 is coming from comparing these components. Why? Because I have the LTA preamp on one system and a Gryphon Diablo 120 paired with another speaker. They are both outstanding performers. Unfortunately, both of these syst... | |
| Linear Tube Audio - Micro ZOTL - version -3 Update on upgrades @audioman58 - Thank you for the extensive write up! Out of curiosity, what do you think are the top 1-2 improvements with the level 3 upgrade in your system? Let’s say with the new Rays tubes and your Telefunken tube? Image depth? Sound st... | |
| Buchardt e50 reviews @stevehuff - Steve - which Luxman amp are you using the e50? | |
| Your Favorite Room at AXPONA 2025? I would love to have been able to attend. Out of curiosity, can anyone share, and report on, the SoulNote room? Specifically, I am wondering if anyone heard the A3 SoulNote integrated amp? | |
| Matching a amplifier to speakers @twangy57 - As a fellow owner of Dynaudio speakers, I strongly encourage you to find a higher wattage amp with high current. I think Dynaudio voices them to sound their best that way. I have run them with a lower wattage amp and they’re anemic tha... | |
| Linear Tube Audio Micro ZOTL - Version -3 in-depth upgrade information @audioman58 - Have you received the level 3 preamp yet? I’m very curious to hear your thoughts once you’ve heard it in your system. Any updates to share? | |
| Buchardt e50 reviews @artistx - Are you planning on picking up a pair of the e50 speakers? | |
| Buchardt e50 reviews @drubin - It’s been awhile since I auditioned Harbeth speakers, so take my comparison with a grain of salt. On a side note, how would you compare the qualities of your Class A amps? Specifically, how would you compare the Sugden to the Luxman? | |
| Buchardt e50 reviews @drubin - I’ve demoed Harbeth speakers but have never owned a pair. I’d say the Buchardt have more bass than the Harbeth. To my ears, Buchardt speakers are a little more rich and warm sounding. I recommend driving them with a more powerful amp tho... | |
| Where Next? (Streaming Rig) @lurch-uk - I’m also contemplating some upgrades which includes moving components to different systems in my home and office. I also have the Zenith mkiii streamer/music server. In the future, I’d love to hear the pulsar and potentially upgrade t... | |
| Have you been enjoying your Gryphon Diablo 120 integrated ? @ryder - I’d be curious to hear how the Gryphon settled into your system. What was your journey like listening and discoverying what it sounded like in your system? I think it’s one of the subtle things that makes us all so intrigued by the gear a... | |
| Seeking a Tube preamplifier @kjl1065 - Another vote for the Linear Tube Audio preamp. It’s really good. I believe they have a return policy. But after hearing it in your system, I doubt you’ll want to return it |
