| Can You Beat Simple? There is now way to remove overtones/harmonics of instruments as long as amplifier/pre/DAC has adequate bandwidth. The only thing good gear can remove is coloration, noise and distortion. In the audio vernacular there is what’s described as "si... | |
| Recommend a good tube power amp in the 100 wpc range for under $4k @mike4597 And I have NOT been disappointed, and, at even just first listening, I am far from disappointed. The switch from the Benchmark AHB2–an excellent amplifier—is astounding. The sounds is so much more “musical,” open, airy, “real.” The mus... | |

| Amp pairing with Tannoy Turnberry? @jond I have had the pleasure to hear Tron Audio amplifiers on a number of occasions and they’re excellent across the board. You must have heard their Atlantis 300b. I’ve not heard that but have heard their 211 based amplifier. Very high quality ... | |

| Is it worth upgrading a CD player? Hi @acresverde If there is one consistent aspect to high end audio, it’s differing opinions and impressions of audio products. It does not matter how much praise or accolades are heaped on a product, invariably there will be someone with a contr... | |
| Denafrips 12 anniversary @jl1ny The Lampi sounded gorgeous but for the money I cannot get past the DIY build quality. The Dave left me scratching my head, how it has attained stardom is beyond my comprehension. In this scenario I’ll opt for “sounded gorgeous “ ever... | |
| Can You Beat Simple? @lalitk It appears you may have stumbled upon one of those ‘accurate’ sounding DAC’s that are everything but musical :-) +1 You have identified a common theme. It seems whenever an audio component is described as lean/clean/hyper detailed, it... | |
| Is it worth upgrading a CD player? Stream Unlimited does manufacturer top loaders and tray loaders. I was just referencing the top loading CD Pro-8 drive unit specifically as it’s also selected by Gryphon and others. I have no doubt that the well respected Bryston utilizing the St... | |
| Is it worth upgrading a CD player? @fleschler could you provide a link? I didn’t know that Bryston had a top loader CD transport. I see their BCD-3 dedicated tray mechanism transport. The Stream Unlimited CD Pro-8 drive is a top loading unit. If Bryston has adapted this, that’s t... | |

| Amp pairing with Tannoy Turnberry? @mmcgill829 I’m just not sure that a solid state will give me what I am looking for, at this price point at least I understand. Your budget range allows many fine options new or used.More than one path to an excellent amplifier for your Tannoy... |
