| Looking for a CD / SACD player. Also, tell me about Esoteric You have some great advice here. I would urge caution with Marantz. Its a very nice sounding player and the build quality is up to par. However if anything goes wrong, Marantz customer support is horrible. My SA-10 has been in service for almost 5... | |
| Conrad Johnson preamp used with Pass Labs amplifiers I ran my CJ CT-5 with a Pass XA30.8 for a while and the combo worked well. The Pass/CJ combo is known to have a good synergy,. Hope this helps. Thanks | |
| Marantz SA-10 arriving Monday! I purchased a refurbished SA-10 from Music Direct last year. I got a three year warranty with it. Unfortunately its been in the shop twice since then. Frustrating to say the least but I'm hoping Marantz will eventually sort this out. Its a wonder... | |
| Audio Note Cobra and Cambridge Audio MXN10 Thank you all for your input. That's what I was thinking the issue was as well but wanted to check to make sure. I will reach out to CA and see if there are any options. In the meantime is there a streamer that you could recommend for less than $4... | |
| power cord for pass 250.8 I'm using a SR Galileo UEF on my Pass XA30.8. Very happy with changes it brings. Bass is smoother and more defined with a much more refined top end. Noise floor is lower too. Lots of options out there. Good luck | |
| Thinking of upgrading speakers from ProAc 3.8 I have enjoyed in my system for 23 years. You won't go wrong with either speakers. From some of the reviews I read the D-48R's are more euphonic whereas the K series is more detailed and neutral. I think it does come down to personal preference. Personally a big fan of the D-48R when I he... | |
| Marantz SA-10 Hi Jafant, I'm going to put it up for sale, most likely next week. Let me know if your interested. Thanks | |
| Marantz SA-10 Goose, congratulations on the D-07X! I think your going to be thrilled with it. I’ve heard nothing but great things about Luxman. Keep us updated please! Jafant, my system consists of a Pass Labs XA30.8, Aric Audio Super 6SN7 (with upgrades done ... | |
| Marantz SA-10 Just thought I would circle back and answer my own question. I pulled the trigger on a Marantz SA-10 from Music Direct last week. Its been breaking in since Thursday and it has about 30 hours on it. More time is needed but I can give some early im... | |
| What's been your experience with New Chinese 6SN7 tube options? Running the Linlai 6SN7 in my Aric Audio preamp. They match or better many of the NOS tubes I have tried. They are my "go to" tube for the Aric. | |
| Which preamp to go with pass labs x150.8 +1 for Aric Audio. I'm using his Super 6SN7 (with upgraded PS and volume control) with my Pass X30.8. A great combo and big step up from my previous preamp, CJ CT-5. Aric has great customer service and can taylor his preamp to your needs. Good... | |
| 6SN7 and 6SL7 tubes recomendations (Cayin A88T integrated) +1 on the Linlai's. I have a pair of Global Elites in my Aric Audio preamp and have to say they are really nice. As good or better than some of the NOS one's I have tried. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes I'll throw my hat into the ring as well. I received my Linlai Global Elite 6SN7 a couple of days ago. Got less than 10 hours on them but I have to say I'm impressed. Very open and transparent without any harshness or edginess. Some of the best bas... | |
| Finally, I´ve got the Proac D48R speakers !!! Congratulations on the D-48R. They are wonderful speakers. | |
| Looking for warm tube preamp (should pair well with Pass power amp), budget $6000 I'm running an Aric Audio Super 6SN7 right now on my Pass Labs XA30.8. Its a wonderful match. I would look into the Aric's Motherload II as its in your price range and might be worth your consideration. Good luck |
