| Rogue Audio. Reliability issues? Anyone? @nickrobotron what was the bias reading the last time you checked, and how long ago was that? Hey, it's a tube amp. Output tubes wear out and get replaced. I run KT120s in my tube monoblocks, and the new pricing is high right now, and for the... | |
| Care to offer comparisons? Wilson, YG, Magico, Stenheim, Rockport, Audio Note @hilde45 i.e. if you read over the Axpona report here on the other Agon thread, you might note that well known amplifiers and well known speakers that sound warm and good were paired up, and reportedly did not sound good for unconfirmed reasons ot... | |
| Care to offer comparisons? Wilson, YG, Magico, Stenheim, Rockport, Audio Note @audphile1 ...to tune it more towards warmth and musicality. Yup. Some amp/speaker designers strive for this, and know how to, which I prefer. While others push for fast, transparent, hyper-detail which can be quite fatiguing. | |
| Describe the "new HiFi sound"? @overthemoon "My interpretation is detail without coloration." That about sums it up in the fewest words. This is what the OP was about, initially. After a few decades of messing with caps and cables, and too many different amplifiers and t... | |
| Upgrade video of Ascend Acoustics Sierra Towers, V1 to ELX (easy and effective) Hats off to Ascend for offering such a nice upgrade option rather than coming out with another speaker version - only. A helpful and creative solution for their customers. | |
| Goodbye Everyone @elliottbnewcombjr some times I jump to other forums and disappear for a while when clusters of unhelpful posts by the same nimrods show up here. All The Best to You. | |
| Does anybody pay a pro to dial their system in? @thomastrouble I have owned two pairs of Totem Model One’s, and a pair of Totem Model One Signatures, both. Along with a good friend who owned both non and signature version too. Hundreds and hundreds of hours of listening to all. Between the four... | |
| Best monoblocks for Tannoy Legacy Arden @knighttodd "With the right music and recording they sound fantastic.". You may have answered your own question. Nice amps, nice Preamp. Decent tubes in stock form. Your PL EVO400s with EL34s are fairly smooth. EL34s, no? Some early Aerosm... | |
| Describe the "new HiFi sound"? Hey @kota1 I did not mean to confuse Was referring to the lower priced AN gear, and the idea of visiting a friendly dealer to just go for a fun demo listen. Did not mean to imply to go buy it. No, I don’t own any of the higher $ AN units. There ar... | |
| 2023 AXPONA Show Report @erik_squires I personally would like to hear back from those visiting the ScansSpeak room. They are demonstrating their Ellipticor midrange domes and I’d like to know if in fact it is the best midrange you’ve ever heard or not. Thank you. :)... | |
| un-becoming an audiophile @lanx0003 Be content with what you have and just listen to the music. Funny you mention this. Just replied on another thread about this same topic. Trying to get back to this. Kinda done searching for different quality recordings and trying... | |
| Describe the "new HiFi sound"? @decooney Whatever floats your boat, personally I couldn’t git ’er done with just 50% of the SQ I get from an immersive setup but whatever. Yep. Was born mid-60s, still listen to old rock bands 60s, 70s, and some 80s stuff. My former a... | |
| Describe the "new HiFi sound"? @kota1 no, had not before, and just checked it out, thanks. Nice. You enjoy it and that's what matters. As noted "on well recorded material". Gotcha. I listen to all sorts of different and inferior recordings, so that rules me out for immersive ... | |
| The problem with PLC @loomisjohnson So the purported clown idiot has generated 39 (now 40) responses to his nonsense. Which, I must admit, means he wins (LOSES) again. An act that fails. Failure to pass the test. |
