| KT 170 I asked Ayon USA about the 170 and they said:So yes we tested the KT 170’s and as with anything new they are quite unstable. Same thing happened with the 150s when they first came out and over time Tingsol fix them right up.Our recommendation defi... | |
| KT 170 I'm super happy with my Ayon KT150 amp. 15 months on same power tubes and I haven't noticed any degradation. But it's tantalizing to think about trying this new 170. Doesn't look much more expensive than the 150! | |
| amazing video about listening, in a very special heartfelt way. It made my day to watch that. Thanks @mikelavigne . | |
| Amplifier brand/designer with the most unique and consistent “house sound?” +1 on Ayre. At audio shows, they are the rare solid-state company that always pleases my tube-lovin' ears. | |
| If you don't have a wide sweet spot, are you really an audiophile? Just to poke fun, I'll say you're merely a casual listener if your sweet spot is any wider than your head. :-)I hear ya, Erik. Unfussy is a virtue. But I totally don't mind sitting just where it's best to sit for the best sound experience I can... | |
| SGC vs Roon Nucleus For what it's worth, my SGC i5 went in for a repair, which Andrew turned around in less than a day. Astonishing customer service.While it was gone I had to run Roon core on a Macbook Air. My sound quality tanked and died. It was grimy and full ... | |
| I bought some Owens Corning 703. Now what? I had trouble finding the 703. Not carried by big-box stores, and I called all the HVAC installers in the area to no avail.Ebay was the answer. | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Mine'r almost 30 years old. They've been in my room for a mere nine.No itch to change out. | |
| Roon ready Music Streamer with I2S digital output? As a DS owner, I'm biding my time 'til the new PS Audio server comes out. They are hyping their own software to compete with Roon, but the unit is said to be Roon-compatible for those who prefer it. | |
| Greatest Audiogon Audiophiles ever and the GOAT The only answer is Al. Almarg. | |
| Who else is using old cables/interconnects, and is happy? I had an audio dealer over here for a listen. Of course, he was looking for things he thought he could sell me to improve my system. When he walked over and saw my 19 year-old speaker cables, he kinda stepped back in reverence. "Those.... thos... | |
| Canine Listeners? Oh Bam Bam! I'm sorry for your loss, mapman. Your story gives me hope that little Steve might retain his audio interest into adulthood. | |
| Canine Listeners? @tomic601 , what a sweet girl Esperanza was! 17+ is an unbelievable run to enjoy with a Lab.@mapman , this is what I'm talkin' about! In your case, did the effect fade as he aged, or did he keep with it? I'm still guessing for me this is a Pupp... | |
| I bought some Owens Corning 703. Now what? Hilde, I went the 703 route and tuned by ear as well. For aesthetics, you can frame with wood; or in my case, I just wrapped them like Christmas presents in fabric and used a 3M spray adhesive to secure fabric to fiberglass. I am definitely not ... | |
| Audiophile Fuses: Helpful or "Snake Oil"? Popcorn time! At the end of the day, they're neither and they're both. |
