| Sad songs- We love them- We need them “New Favorite” by Alison Krause | |
| Power Cables - Stock vs. Budget Audience Forte-3 👍 | |
| What are/were the best sounding cheap components you have ever had? The NuForce STA-200 was a nice inexpensive amp that audio advisor sold for around $500.00. | |
| Power cords or power conditioner When I was getting back into Audio a few years ago, I purchased a $100 Silnote power cord for a NuForce STA-200. The change was HUGE! My deaf mother and father could have probably heard the difference. Pass Labs and First Watt includes a very sub... | |
| Looking for Speaker Recommendations @wast314 - Why no Klipsch? Have you heard Cornwall lV’s? | |
| Recommendation for low to normal level listening a 13.5' x 21' x 8' room I 3rd the horn recommendation, also @glennewdick expresses a lot of good options. Also remember the Cornwall 4’s are a different animal compared to their predecessors. I use a First Watt Sit 3 that is also popular among Cube Audio fans. | |
| tube pre & ss amp integrated You might consider one of the Nelson Pass amps. First Watt SIT - 3, or the Pass XA-25. My favorite is the SIT-3. I understand the F-8 is very good also, but don’t own one. | |
| Looking for a preamp with XLR connections I have 4 preamps a MicroZOTL MZ2, Cary SLP 98, Coincident Statement Line Stage Mk1, and a Supratek Sauvignon. The Latter 2 have XLR connections. If you've never heard of Supratek, you should look into them. The Coincident is very good but, uses th... | |
| My experience with the First Watt F7 It seems to me that if one has issues with a First Watt or Pass products performance it might be worth a shot to send Nelson an email (or Pass Labs) and discuss SQ expectations to determine whether or not the amplifier is sounding out of character. | |
| My experience with the First Watt F7 I have 2 Nelson Pass amps, the XA-25 and the SIT-3. To simplify, the XA-25 is very transparent and to borrow from @wolf_garcia, clear, sweet, coherent, revealing, and powerful, the SIT-3 has warm tone and texture and gives music body and weight. ... | |
| Is there a strategy in preamp tube placement? @curiousjim - A buddy came over yesterday and we installed 4 of his olderTelefunken's in the phono stage in place of the Electro Harmonics. It was really really nice. @lowrider57- I bought my Linlai's from Vivatubes, so I'm on the fence about buy... | |
| Is there a strategy in preamp tube placement? mulveling- I very much appreciate your response. I have a Tung-sol 6sn7gtb in the gain stage and the Linlai E 6sn7 in the buffer spot. Down stream I have a SIT-3 and Cornwall lV’s and it is amazing how swapping the few tubes I have, affects the s... | |
| worth the jump to Cornwall IV's from Forte IV's? Better bass and soundstage. I would buy Cornwalls again for sure. I like the combo of the lumin u1 mini, BorderPatrol, Cary SLP 98 and SIT 3. I really enjoy the organic tone and texture along with detail this combination produces. I would love to ... | |

| worth the jump to Cornwall IV's from Forte IV's? As to the comment, “they’re not Bass machines”. Mine are very good in that regards, but I also have a well treated room, with very little cancellation. |
