| Down to two ? Shunyata Delta NR or Audioquest Thunder? All's I know is when I replaced the Pangea AC-9 on my tube integrated with an AQ Thunder, it was an instantaneous jaw-dropper improvement. | |
| Roon - 10 Things You Don't Know Nice job, Chris! And thanks. | |
| Tube virgin looking for tube amp under $3k You can find the Ayon Spirit III for about 3k used. I love the hell out of mine. It's even better suited to your speakers than mine. | |
| Decware: a worthwhile option? I've always had an interest in their amps, but never pulled the trigger. On various forums there is a a lot of positive chatter for Decware, and when one goes up for sale on the 'Gon, it's usually gone in a day or two. | |
| Raven Osprey vs Octave 110 with low sensitivity speakers Feliks, no reason not to try either amp. Personally I use a tube amp on speakers not meant for tube amps, and I'm in heaven every time I listen. You can do it if you're willing to accept tradeoffs. In your case you'll get "tubiness" and liquidi... | |
| TIDAL on SALE! I've had both Tidal and QOBUZ for a year, but was thinking of dropping Tidal to save a few bucks. Well you just solved my problem! Thanks Mofi. | |

| How old are you? 44. | |
| Tube integrated for Devore Super Nines @budburma I talked to another Triton owner who called it his Space Heater. The spirit's not so bad with just 4 power tubes. | |
| Tube integrated for Devore Super Nines I'm super happy with my Ayon Spirit III. You can find good deals on the Mk 4, now that the Sprit V is out. | |
| Relatively small speaker with a "big" performance: Role Audio Starship SE model For what it's worth, I used to live in NC and paid a visit to Role about 10 years ago. Erol was a super gracious host and we had a great time listening to music. He is one of the Good People, and his speakers really do accomplish the Houdini dis... | |
| What's your definition of an audiophile? I think it's about *listening.* An audiophile is a person who dedicates time to the act of listening to recorded music.If you actively listen to your Bose Wave Radio, you're an audiophile. If your Wilson Chronosonics play music only in the backg... | |
| Audio Clubs - Charlotte, NC, Lake Norman Area, Mooresville, NC In COVID times, the closest thing you're gonna get is a visit to Ron at Liquid HiFi. He's good people. | |
| Integrated Tube Amps with Subwoofer out? I use the outs on my Ayon Spirit III integrated for stereo subs. Love it. |
