| 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 | |
| Better DAC or better Streamer @eddy1 - I suspect the Aurender streamers were actually just doing a better job of showing what the components sound like. It’s my understanding Focal speakers have a reputation for being bright. | |
| New Fischer & Fischer Audio 670 Speakers : Made Out Of SLATE.. @mikepowellaudio - I’m glad you represent these speakers in the USA, Mikey. I came across them from a guy down under in Australia who has them paired with a SoulNote Dac and Amp. Yes, over YouTube, but they sounded amazing. | |
| Linear Tube Audio version 3 of the MicroZOTL pre @tkukielk - Unfortunately, I’ve not had the opportunity to hear the Primaluna. I’d suspect the pass XA-25 with the LTA would be spectacular though. | |
| Looking for a new DAC @ice812 - Everyone is going to want to know what sort of sound signature you want. Are you looking for hyper clarity? Or something possibly less detailed but some would say more musical in its warmth and flow? in my own journey, I’ve found I b... |
