| Jazz for aficionados @tyray It’s not surprising that I haven’t heard of the Milton Banana Trio, but I really am enjoying this album. Thanks for sharing. | |
| Lower power on left channel @bigred71 before you swap the wires, swap the tubes. Wires rarely go bad, but tubes often do. All the best. | |
| Hermes added, question Thanks @soix I never knew that. Which ever DDC I get, it will sit on top of the Pontus, so a short cable is all that would be needed. FYI, I’m currently using a DH Labs USB from the streamer to the Pontus ll. | |
| Hermes added, question @kingbr Thanks for the reply. It sounds easier than I had thought. | |
| Hermes added, question I’ve been thinking about getting a DDC to go with my Pontus ll and I was wondering what will I need to connect a Hermes to my system? Thanks | |

| Starting my showroom again I know several who maintained their company name, but now work out of their homes. The downstairs is the showroom and the upstairs is their living quarters. Just a thought. | |
| Doozy of an amp question I’m not a Mac fanboy, but if you are looking for a tube sound, check out PS Audio. Your ARC preamp will play well with their BHK 300’s or their new BHK 600’s. Both come with Gold Lion 6922’s in the input section and tube rolling is a snap. All th... | |
| DAC for Aurender N200 @bikeboy52 I’m in the same boat. Let me know what you find out and I’ll do the same with you. (Pontus ll to N200.) | |
| How do you decide what to listen to? Same old stuff? The Agon forums are a good place to start. For example, I listen to Jazz, so I go to the Jazz For Aficionados forum. There are several people there who are fonts of information. What’s your pleasure?? | |
| A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair. KEF Reference Ones are are 91 db I believe. And depending on your taste and space the Klispch Heritage line are very efficient and most are in your price range. All the best. |
