| Ayon Triton the best tubes amp in the market? I used to own a Cayin (probably the same model as yours, 55 wpc integrated, 4xKT88 tubes) and it was a nice piece for the money. Not in the Triton's league though: the Triton costs 4x as much and weighs twice as much, plus it puts out way more pow... | |
| Dodd preamp vs. McCormack RLD-1 preamp Just to add something to this old thread: I have a McCormack ALD-1 w/Steve's A+ revisions (separate power supply, full reworking of the internals, basically upgraded as much as possible) and on a lark, just purchased a used Dodd through the 'gon. ... | |
| Rogue vs ARC I do know there is some really nice synergy with my Tyler Decades and Rogue-several people have that system around here and elsewhere. | |
| Using McCormack amp with Vandersteen II I run a McCormack DNA-125 revision Gold, ALD-1 Revision Gold+, and although I have never tried a Vandersteen (I have Tyler Acoustics Decade D1's), I have had several people mention to me that "oh, Vandersteen sounds great with McCormack". Either t... | |
| Rogue vs ARC Agreed. I got a set of the "lowly" M150's and am blown away how good these sound. A friend, who used to sell Rogue (he has a lot of other high-end brands) had trouble selling them due to low brand awareness, but when I mentioned that I was interes... | |
| McIntosh 2102 versus 2275, which is better for LT? MA2275 is pretty unbeatable. I almost went that route, but ended up with a set of Rogue M150's instead (I liked them better when heard head to head against the MC275, and they don't cost much more-my speakers need the extra juice and I like the Tr... | |
| Budget speaker $600 or under recommendations I had a set of Europas a few years ago, and was very impressed. I hadn't thought of the 1C, but it may be a good choice as well, as I wouldn't have to spend another $200 on stands. The PSB sounds like a winner, although I haven't heard it. Walls a... | |
| Review: Modwright Sony 9100es Platinum Sig Truth modification CD Player Another follow-up: switched amps out to the Rogue M150's, and with other tubes in the system, the balance of the rig changed just a bit. Now, I find that I am getting a bit more clarity out of the VSE modded unit, and while the Modwright is still ... | |
| Rogue M-150 upgrade to M-180 Questions Mostly along the lines of "it should sound better, more open, better woofer control". I am leaning toward getting it done, but they sound so nice at the moment.... | |
| Rogue M-150 upgrade to M-180 Questions yes, I have. I was just looking for a bit more info from others who have been in my shoes. | |
| Herron & Audio Horizons Linestages haven't heard the AH stuff, but you can't go wrong with Herron's preamps. They are outstanding overall, and really outstanding considering their relatively moderate price. I had a 1a/166 and it was a sweet unit. Would love to get my hands on a 3a ... | |
| what amp will match well with Tyler acoustics I had the LSS, and tried it with several amps. It sounded very good with both Herron M1 monoblocks and the McCormack DNA-125 revision Gold. It sounded a bit flabby and flat with the Cary/AES Sixpacs and a Jolida EL34 integrated, and awesome with t... | |
| Rogue M150 vs. Conrad Johnson Premier 140 OK, thanks. Sounds like Rogue may be the winner. Keeping them and upgrading them to M180's would be about the same price as the C-J unit. I will keep it in mind! | |
| Unhappy with tubes so which transistor amp? Also second the CODA idea. I was very impressed with their stuff, and it is relatively cheap, especially used. I also love my McCormack DNA-125 with SMC's mods. It doesn't get much better, although modded gear may not impress your friends, if they... | |
| Best value amplifier under or near $6K I just got a set of Rogue M150's into my system, and they sound fabulous. It is about the 4th valve amp I have tried (Cayin AT88, Atma-Sphere M60 MK2.2, a couple of Jolidas) and by far the best with my speakers, which must be moderately power hung... |
