| Ayon Triton Evo Integrated Everyone concerned about heat? It’s wintertime. Let’s PARTY! Congratulations on your acquisition of a piece of stellar gear! Aren’t those OB’s?! Why so do you need so much power? Most OB’s I know only require a small tube amp to drive them. | |
| New York City Audio/Hifi Bars and Cafes Audio bars?! It’s NYC! Go out and listen to some live jazz at the Village Vanguard, or the Blue Note. It’s one of the few places in the USA that features live jazz every night. Well, that’s what I’d do. Dress up, and go out! | |
| Are new Mark Levinson Preamps better than old? More Primaluna gear. Yes! | |
| Any regrets in selling gear? I’ve probably sold more gear than the average person here. But I do miss my Class A A/B Plinius amp. They don’t make them like that anymore. | |
| Seeking speakers under $3K for 10x12 ft room and driven by 20wpc tube amp These! And solid wood, no MDF. | |
| Open baffle speakers @yyzsantabarbara You should be able to acquire an OB for the price of a used Coda 16. I paid $3k for these with a 15” woofer and sub designed specifically for OB’s. And they were made with zero MDF. They’re solid Sapale, commonly used as a Rosewoo... | |
| FYI There is no "Upgraded" or "V2" Willsenton R8 Regardless, Willsenton created the R8. They’re not obliged to advise anyone about updates. Many of us purchased this amplifier brand new for $800.

| Whats on your turntable tonight? | |
| PrimaLuna EVO 100 tube DAC I’d not go with a Primaluna Dac. Amp, preamp, or integrated amp, absolutely yes. I had Primaluna monoblocks and used them for years to great effect with electrostatic speakers. I’d start with building a system, whether that be with an integrated, ... | |
| Adding tubes to integrated setup For a new tube user I’d recommend Primaluna, or any other manufacturer that has self boasting. It’s zero fuss. There are plenty of used Primaluna integrated’s on the use market at affordable prices. If a tube goes bad a light goes on and the amp g... | |

| 55” or 65” TV Screen Size and Your Speakers: Please Join Survey I’m barely 8’ from my 65” screen. My best tv is a 55” Oled in the bedroom. I don’t do surround sound anymore because the living room size has gotten much smaller. I miss the days of having a 20x25’ room. Those days are long gone. I wouldn’t bu... |
