| Anyone with Aric Audio experience? My experiences with Aric have all been wonderful, both the man and the equipment. My Motherload pre amp is spectacular. I recently compared it to a 6h30 pre and a Benchmark, in both cases the Aric had very similar level of detail retrieval, but br... | |
| DSP Active Crossover Please keep us updated . I’m especially interested in the learning curve, flexibility, and functionality of Audio Weaver. | |
| Tube preamp options I recently compared a Benchmark pre amp to my Aric Audio Motherload 2. I wanted to try the quietest lowest distortion pre amp out there. The Aric was just as quiet and transparent, but gave a very likable tube coloration. It also gave a more spaci... | |
| Looking for warm tube preamp (should pair well with Pass power amp), budget $6000 I would also recommend Aric Audio. I have the Motherload 2. I love it, but thought “what would no preamp sound like?” I got a Benchmark and listened. The benchmark is very neutral and clean, but no more than Arics. I expected to at least hear a li... | |
| Pass XP12. Tame, Anemic? @gladmo I sent the xp12 back and replace with Aric Audio Motherload. At the same time I tried a LTA mz3. The Aric and LTA were similar sounding, the Pass just seemed to take away dynamics. Maybe those of us with extremely dynamically capable spea... | |
| Preamp match for my First Watt F-7 amp. Hi, what is the sensitivity and impedance of your speakers? At 20w@8ohm/30w@4ohm the F7 will be a problem with low sensitivity speakers, or perhaps speakers with 16ohm impedance. | |
| Speakers for string Quartets Thanks for all the perspective!!!! I’m leaning towards the “British Invation”… question…with a pretty large room, open to kitchen/dinning room, I’m hesitant to go for bookshelve/monitor size. I believe Quads would be great, but I don’t know if... | |
| Speakers for string Quartets Thanks for the perspective, suggestions. I understand the argument that speakers reproduce sound, not just specific types or instruments. currently have modified Klipsch Cornwalls,(mods make them similar to Cornwall 4) they sound great with most... | |
| Looking for warm tube preamp (should pair well with Pass power amp), budget $6000 Aric Audio Motherload 2, I pair it with FW F8, F3, and Pass XA25. Fantastic! I swapped in Odam coupling caps, smooth and very clear, fast and transparent. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Has anyone tried the Grant Fidelity globes, (the spherical ones)? Wondering if there’s any difference with the SE version? thanks, Ted | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... Just got ENO and some Supra cat 8 today, The 2 combined certainly made a difference, not huge at all, but definitely more “organic, analog” . Definitely helped the sound of violins, my audio nemesis. Took away some of the edge. Ted YMMV | |
| Questions about Ethernet Cabling I have Google mesh now. Set up just as you mention. Just wondering about the long coax cable to my modem , after that it's Ethernet. Maybe I'm overthinking. House was wired for CATV long time ago, not sure if improvement would be had removing coax... | |
| Questions about Ethernet Cabling Any thoughts on coax cable? I have about 50’ of coax before modem. Any perspectives on moving modem and running Ethernet through house to router instead? Thanks, Ted | |
| Aric Audio Super 6sn7 Linestage Aric is great to work with and his stuff is great! I have the Motherload2 and his kt88 single ended amp. Both are amazing! | |
| In house for review: AricAudio's Super 300B SET amplifier & Western Electric 300B tubes I just got a used Kt 88se amp of Aric’s to go along with my Motherload 2 preamp.Wow! This amp has a sound I would describe as exquisite. Just a beautiful sound! I did comparisons with my First Watt F3, Pass XA25, VRD kt88, and Aric’s. For me, ... |
