| Budget Chinese Tube amps - any good? I totally agree with Atmasphere, the thing to waych out for with the chinese gear is the transformers...I doubt they are reliable. I will purchase either the Tri TRV-35se or rogue tempest III. One made in Japan, the other USA...You get what you pa... | |
| Budget Chinese Tube amps - any good? I just did a demo of 2 tube amps from Tri of Japan, the dealer also had prima luna...the dealer sold way more of the Tri amps (made in Japan). To my ears they sounded better. Build quality was first rate. | |
| Best tube integrated? anyone know? Just auditioned the Tri TRV-35se in Montreal and was very impressed. Bass was excellent and the little amp filled up quite a large room with sound and energy. Its on my short-list. Build quality was top-notch. vocals were stunning. | |
| Best tube integrated? anyone know? Unfortunately price at some point is an issue. I found dealers for Tri of Japan, Mystère and Rogue. I think I will pass On Jolida. Thanks again to all!! | |
| Best tube integrated? anyone know? Funny, I friend of mine said to audition the tempest III integrated...maybe you are onto something! | |
| Best tube integrated? anyone know? Thanks for the responses...does anyone know which would be the most quiet..i.e. the lowest noise floor? Also, do tube amps suffer what sometimes is called white noise in High-powered SS amps? | |
| Suggestions for a tube integrated under $3000 What about Tri of japan TRV35SE, Jolida 801, and Prima Luna prologue? | |
| Raysonic CD228 I have an Exposure 2010S and I am extremely happy with it. I got it on discount as it was the dealers demo. The 3010S is even better. I would buy from this company again. Made in UK. Esoteric is world class, I know it well. | |
| Raysonic CD228 Funny, I have read several complaints about service when it comes to Raysonic. Also heard they have a new distributor for North America. I wonder if this is a brand that can compete against the likes of Rega, Linn, Simaudio ect. for reliability. T... | |
| Review: Purist Audio Design Proteus Interconnect what if I can not afford The proteus? What about Venustas? | |
| Purist Audio Design Character and tone Venustas is as high as I have auditioned and is not cheap. I question the need to go beyond it...its that good all around. | |
| Purist Audio Design Character and tone I am a purist owner and to be honest, with your Krell/Totem combo my first choice would be to try Kimber cables. If you dont like those and wanted to give Purist a shot...try either the new elementa advance praesto or the more expensive venustas. ... | |
| Purist Audio, Venustas or Aqueous interesting...I own a pair Elac FS 68 speakers, using Musaeus praesto speaker cable and Elementa Advance IC's. Musaeus power cords on amp and cdp. I would not change anything at the moment. I made a short video of my system on Youtube. I know you ... | |
| ? about oppo I dont have an ayre palyer...I have a Thule audio DVA 120 universal. I got it from the last distributor when Thule went under. For the record, cd playback on it is great. I am only looking around for better video performance as it does not have hd... | |
| What's the bottom line on Oppo 980 for CD playback I can recommend 3 as universal players...the atoll dv200, new NAD M56, and arcam DV139 or later. all are very good at CD playback. None of these are cheap, but not as expensive as Mcintosh, Krell or Esoteric. You could try and find a used Linn uni... |
