| Tubes most likely to improve SQ? Misspelled Willsenton in the previous post. | |
| Tubes most likely to improve SQ? The amp is a Willsonton 35i. Same company as the well reviewed Willsonten R8 and also purchased from Yong Lee. I went with the 35i because it weighs a lot less, costs a couple of hundred less, and, I believe, uses more common tubes.I am amazed at... | |
| Tidal MQA vs Qobuz hi-res Tidal may it easy for me. They give a 40% military discount. | |
| Should I raise these Acoustic Panels? Thank for the recommendations. As a first step I moved the speakers out with the rear about 3 feet from the wall. Of course, I also moved out the listening position and made sure the speakers were toed in to aim just outside my shoulders. The s... | |
| Schitt Freya+ Preamp into Intregrated Amp (no preamp inputs) ???? I don't know much about matching preamps and amps. I thought the output of the Freya+ into the preamp stage of the Ex-M1 might be a bad match for reasons that I don't understand. I expect the question is "Do I have much to gain from using a tube ... | |
| Floorstanding speakers - $2-3K Thank you to all for you recommendations. This was a very difficult process. I read (and listened to) every review I could find and in the end it came down to reviews and recommendations, combined with availability and price. Tekton had, in stock,... | |
| Floorstanding speakers - $2-3K Thank you for the recommendations. I will continue checking them all out later today.Note that the Kinki is a Class A/B amp and seems to be quite different and more likeable than the Class D Classe AMP2 which also has its strengths.I will work on... | |

The AMP2 seems fast and precise while at the same time a tad bright. The A21 on the other hand is the op... | |
| Parasound A21 and A21+: Significant Improvements in SQ? Thank you George. What I'm looking for is refinement. Its not good that it now weighs 70+lbs. I'll have to think about that. | |
| Amplifier for B&W 705 S2 "Tidal Premium" of course. My old age is showing.....more every day. | |
| Wanted: Lightweight Krell KSA-100 Clone???? Thank you all for your input. After doing a lot of online shopping and reading reviews I went back and tried my other amplifiers with the Thiels. The Parasound A21 sounds very good and so I am going to stick with that. My wife only listens to CD... | |
| Wanted: Lightweight Krell KSA-100 Clone???? tweak1, Thank you for the mention of the GaN based amps. I am really intrigued by Class D amps and will follow the development of amps using this module. I like the Classe AMP2 but it may be a bit bright. It appears that Classe did a lot of wor... | |
| Wanted: Lightweight Krell KSA-100 Clone???? Thank you all for your response..Actually Roxy54, I would prefer to be able to move it. The last couple of years I have started trying some different components and I expect to keep on doing so for a while. As good as the KSA-100 is, it takes up ... | |
