| Very small room! Help me with monitor speakers I always recommend omnidirectional speakers for small and problematic rooms. Speakers featuring off-axis drivers work with the room better and off-axis reflections make the room sound larger. An additional benefit is that many of these speakers pr... | |
| If you listen to anything other than Classic Jazz, don't read this. @atmasphere I have not heard the Classic audio speakers in years and I couldn't describe their sound accurately now. I do remember them being very good horn speakers.I have had some Sound Labs in for an extended period when I had my dealership. Go... | |
| If you listen to anything other than Classic Jazz, don't read this. @atmasphere: If you have a means of designing a speaker to favor a certain genre of music, its likely that you also have derived a new branch of physics. Ralph, I believe I agreed with you in my last post regarding speaker design.I will simply sa... | |

| Yet another Integrated vs Separates advice post I love Luxman gear but I wanted an integrated amp that could drive my stupidly inefficient (down to 2Ω) Shahinian Obelisks. I also prefer tube preamps and balanced inputs. I found a clean, used BAT VK-300x (6922 tube version) for a song on fleabay... | |
| Not much talk about Yamaha turntables. ...the PF-1000 and 800 are great turntables.I would say good turntables IMO, not great. The main problem is that the integrated tonearms for these decks were designed for very high compliance cartridges that were all the rage on Japanese consumer ... | |
| Why no interest in reel to reel if you're looking for the ultimate sound? Just a casual survey: how many of you that want to own RTR decks do or would own a preamp withour a remote control? Just curious... | |
| Why no interest in reel to reel if you're looking for the ultimate sound? You guys crack me up. Sure, RTR sounds great, when it does. But what does it take to get there? Lots of work, parts and mostly $$$. It's like golf - it's supposed to be fun. Until the day you realize that you will probably never get to your perfor... | |
| What is the average dealer mark up? @badgerms4Have you ever imported a product into the U.S. from another country for the purpose of resale? No, I didn't think so. Please review this: USITC Harmonized Tariff Information. Some import tariffs that importers (distributors) have to pay ... | |
| Recommended SET amp and speakers to 20k There are too many possibilities and variations to list. I would suggest starting by choosing a pair of speakers. Preferably by actual extended opportunity to listen or demo. If that's impossible (damned coronavirus!) then by specs/design/size/WAF... | |
| Heresy IVs I believe what you are hearing is the difference between the ported H IV vs the unported H III. Ported speakers have deeper but often looser bass extension than ported designs. The original Heresy's were unported for a reason. | |
| Mag-Lev Turntables There have been several posts on Audiogon previously about this turntable. Rather than regurgitating previous replies, I suggest that you start by searching on the Analog discussion forum. | |
| High Output Preamp for First Watt SIT-3? IMO, sell the ,7s and find a pair or refurbished Quad 57s. That would be magical | |
| Leben CS600 or Atmasphere or ARC @ quanghuy147 - the amps you listed all sound very different because of different power tubes, different designs and different power output. Do you know what you are specifically looking to hear, or will you be happy with any tube amp that "sound... | |
| Triode Lab 2A3S - Any Insights? @joeinid The answer to your question depends on your ears. Some guys like the 300b. I'm not a fan. I like 45 tubes. Others don't. The 2A3 is somewhere in between. If I had to pick the best sounding SET amp I ever heard it would probably be an AD1 ... |
