| SPL Phonos Phono Preamp Managed to find one used for a $1250. Looking forward to giving it a listen. Kind of stumbled upon this and a few other threads reviewing it favorably after getting pushed into needing a separate phono due to buying a faulty Ambrosia 2000 (non-SE)... | |
| SST Ampzilla 2000 v2 vs Son of Ampzilla II Noticed I never followed up. The buzzing ended up being from a Roku I had plugged into the same electrical circuit. Seems to be a common issue with Rokus. They really need to be grounded and just aren't. Just found an Ambrosia 2000 PreAmp to go al... | |
| SST Ampzilla 2000 v2 vs Son of Ampzilla II I ended up getting the Son of Ampzilla II from Underwood, but there is a faint buzzing. It is on both channels regardless of what preamp or input source. :-( | |
| Dunlavy SC-IVas speaker grill reupholstering Honestly. Yes. I did them one at a time so I could test the difference. Both the original fabric and the new impacted the sound. Both before and now, I'll remove them when listening. If I can find a fabric that doesn't, I'd definitely switch, but ... | |

| SST Ampzilla 2000 v2 vs Son of Ampzilla II I just see a biamp option on the back of the new 2000 v2.@jackd thanks for the heads up. I reached out to him and it looks like I could get better bang for my buck trade wise on a pair of Ampzilla 2000s than for the SOA2. The holidays are making i... | |
| Dunlavy SC-IVas speaker grill reupholstering @celander thanks. I think so too. I figured with the white walls, they'd be a bit less obtrusive dressed in tan. | |
| SST Ampzilla 2000 v2 vs Son of Ampzilla II @roberjerman aren't the 2000s the Monoblocks? | |
| Dunlavy SC-IVas speaker grill reupholstering Did them in Osnaburg. Basically like burlap but not as coarse (read: less "fuzzy"). I've read that the fuzz of burlap could dampen highs so I went with the Osnaburg instead. | |
| How did I do on this Amp? @Shakeydeal: I am wondering what you mean by "lifeless sounding" - are you saying that it doesn't flavor the music? By all I've read they reportedly do a pretty decent job at recreating the original sound of recordings without flavoring them.@No-m... | |
| Speaker Recommendation for AR SP-3 pre w/ ML 332 I didn't have a lot of time, so I had to act on the ML ReQuests. Ended up getting them and the Logos Center for 2k, but by what I have managed to dig up, it seems like these should work well with my space and setup. |
