| YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics. Audiophilia will probably not be much like the present going forward. It is fairly obvious that the retail model will be reduced to small, relatively rare specialists and a few larger entities like Magnolia relying on a presence within a larger en... | |
| YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics. Jay Iyagi addresses a very specific audience, younger people already into hifi with a fair amount of money to spend on audio. His reference gear is esoteric and expensive. It would even be difficult to find a dealer who carried the things he revie... | |
| YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics. He offers information about new ChiFi gear and some other things.

| YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics. The novelty isn't there. Most of the 50 yo and older group still came up in the time when good 2 channel gear was stepping out of the tube era where stereophonic recording was still a novelty. A stereo was prized possession of many young persons. ... | |
| Integrated Amps The Heaven 11 offers a compelling value and feature proposition: integrated with good power, tube preamp, DAC, headphone amp, phono preamp. Peachtree used to offer a similar integrated, but in a less visually-appealing package. Vincent Audio also ... | |
| No More Fake Reviews - So Who’s Gonna Tell Us What To Buy? The last thing the FTC will care about is audio. At least buyers can hear a product themselves and decide it it is good or not. Youtubers who get equipment samples to keep or flip are not their concern. Reviewers who get gear to review who require... | |
| Margules integrated The amp is class-A, 25W, using EL34 tubes, push-pull. I have listened to it for short periods and it sounds very nice. It is simple, features-wise, for its price class. but it is beautifully made. (For comparison, the Audio-Research i/50 has 50W... | |
| Recommend me a tube integrated amplifier Audio research i/50 can be had used in your budget. Margules 240i harder to find, but possibly similar price. A Willsenton R8 will be cheaper even with tube rolling if you are looking for transmitter tube integrateds (211s, 845s, 805s) you migh... | |

| How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound? I have a pair of Q Acoustics M20s. I bought them because I had seen reviews about how remarkably good they sounded. They were not expensive by today's standards, a pair of 2-way ported active speakers for about $500. I connected them to a streamer... | |
| Amps that don’t impersonate space heaters. Class A done well has special qualities that seem to come at a price. Only tubes seem to extract a similar price, thermally. I can suggest a couple of options: Combine a tube section preamp with a well-designed Class D (e.g., a ProJect Pre Box RS... | |

| Need A 10-30 watt Tube Power Amp, Lower Heat Output, Which Sounds Great, Under $1500 Used For a power amp, the NAD C298 I have found mates well with a tube preamp. It is class-D using the Purify module. It runs cool. Used, it is at your price range. I am using one now with a Pro-Ject Pre Box RS2 Digital preamp (which has a tube gain s... | |
