| Great Monitors Joseph Audio Pulsar ? For what it is worth, I purchased a pair of Pulsars with the intent of using them in a second system. Initially, I put them in my main system (alongside my Revel Ultima Studios) to break them in and push them with my nicer amp and see what they co... | |
| Great Monitors Joseph Audio Pulsar ? I have owned a pair of Pulsars for several months now and have enjoyed every minute with them. The Pulsars produce a surprising amount of bass for their size. Initially, I though that I would need to supplement the bottom end with a sub. I tried t... | |
| SimAudio or Classe for Power Amplifier I purchased a Simaudio Moon W-5LE a few months ago and it continues to impress me. The 'LE' is a limited edition run of only 250 with higher quality parts. I suspect the non-LE W-5s are good as well, but I haven't had the chance to compare. Since ... | |
| What to put between a Calypso a Mini Utopias? Dizzyizzid, No, I never did get to try out the Plinius SA-102 though I would have liked to. I am certain that it would have performed very well. That being said, I have no regrets buying the Simaudio amp. | |
| What to put between a Calypso a Mini Utopias? Just to complete the story, I ended up purchasing a Simaudio Moon W-5LE and I couldn't he happier.

Not exactly short jaunt, but I understand that travel is just part of the quest ;-). I'll likely wait to see where my ne... | |
| What to put between a Calypso a Mini Utopias? My updated short list:Solid State: Plinius 102, Rowland 112, Edge G4/G6. (dropped YBA from the list because information and dealers are too sparse for my comfort level).Tube: Rogue M-150 monos, Conrad Johnson Premier 140 (a bit over the budget, bu... | |
| What to put between a Calypso a Mini Utopias? Great input on the solid state options. YBA, Plinius and the Rowland have made it to my solid state short list for sure. BTW, my sources are an MMF7 turntable (with a Living Voice Carbon Fiber record mat)going through an EAR 834P phone pre for the... | |
| What to put between a Calypso a Mini Utopias? Rlew, it certainly does make sense to give very strong consideration to an YBA separate amp given all the strong press on the YBA Passion integrated.The problem is finding a dealer anywhere in my section of the country. The YBA web site does not h... |
