| One off my Audiopax 88s has gone up in smoke. You are one patient individual. I think most people would have gotten rid of the Audiopax amps months ago. I refuse to purchase any products from companies with a poor service track record. You might want to consider moving on to another amp. Good... | |
| Amp to match Avantgarde Uno G2 horn speakers Hi Jtein,I owned Avantgarde Duos for four years and have owned Duo Primos for the past four years. I must have owned and/or demoed a couple of dozen amplifiers with Avantgarde loudspeakers. Amplifer noise is the main issue with Avantgarde loudspea... | |
| One off my Audiopax 88s has gone up in smoke. Hi Charles,Edward De Silva refused to help you? Fill us in on what happened. I have a good friend who has the Audiopax Model 88's and is interested in hearing the outcome of your problem. This isn't the first time I've heard horror stories about A... | |
| Opus 21 Hi,I agree with the comments made by Casaross. I've owned and demoed many of the top digital front-ends on the market. As far as I'm concerned, the Opus 21 is a "Giant-Killer". I initially owned a Opus 21 and sold it to purchase an Audionote trans... | |
| Integrateds: Warm sounding SS vs Hybrid Hey John,A fellow skeptic I see. After reading your response my first thought was that you were a shill for some company competing with Red Wine Audio (RWA). Why else would you be trying discredit or silence the RWA crowd? How's that for a conspir... | |
| Integrateds: Warm sounding SS vs Hybrid Hi,"1) Has anyone who had owned tubed gear heard a SS integrated that sounds like tubes?"Yes, the Red Wine Audio Signature 30.2 or 70.2 are the closest to tubes that your going to get from a solid-state piece. Another warm/tubey sounding solid-sta... | |
| LFD mkIII vs Red Wine Audio 30.2 I owned the RWA Sig 30 for six months and then upgraded it to the RWA Sig 30.2, which I owned for six months. I was using them with Avantgarde Meta Primo (107 db efficient) horn loudspeakers. RWA's products were the best sounding solid-state ampli... | |
| SET amp for high efficiency horn speaker Hi,I've owned 104 db sensitive and now own 107 db sensitive horn loudspeakers for the past 8 years. In that time, I've owned or demoed the following amps that were exceptional with them: Art Audio PX-25, Wyetech Sapphires, Cyrus Brenneman Cavalier... | |
| Which Cardas cable is the warmest? I've owned almost all of Cardas' cables at some point. The Cardas Cross is their warmest sounding cable. | |
| Audio Note DAC 5 Having owned the Audionote DAC 4.1X balanced for 18 months, IMHO Audionote gear is grossly overpiced here in the U.S. IMHO most of Audionote gear is euphonically colored. Here are some other issues I have with Audionote:1. Dealer/distribution netw... | |
| Amplifiers and Horn Loudspeakers I own Avanatgarde Horn loudspeakers and have used primarily tube amplifers to drive them. However, I recently purchased Avantgarde's Model 5+ solid-state integrated amplifer that sounds very good. It runs in Class A for the first 1.1 watts. Other ... | |
| Best 300b single-ended Tube amp. for the $ Having heard quite a few 300B based amps, IMHO the Wyetech Sapphire Monoblocks can compete with pretty much anything out there. They have three gain adjustments and are extremely quiet with horns. Build quality is pretty amazing as well. They are ... | |
| How's the First Watt F3 I owned Avantgarde Duos for three years and have owned Avantgarde Meta Primos for the past 15 months. I owned and demoed many of highly touted tube amplifers (Audiopax, Art Audio, BAT, Cary, Wyetech, Audionote and etc.)that are known to sound good... | |
| Hales Design Group speakers....how good were they? He was working for a pro audio company in southern Califiornia for the past several years. However, I heard that he recently left that company. It would be interesting if he ever came back to the high-end audio world. Before Hales went under he wa... | |
| Hales Design Group speakers....how good were they? From 1998 through 2001, I owned both the Hales T-5's and T-8's. They were fantastic sounding speakers. Image density and bass quality was fanatstic! In 1999, Paul Hales made a prototype speaker called the Alexandria. It used a ribbon tweeter. It w... |
