| Integrated that blew you away Audio Research GSi 75 It is a wonderful integrated that I only gave up as my Wilson Sophia 1s needed more power in my large space. with the beautiful KT150 sound and the excellent on board DAC and phono, you are all set | |
| B&W 802D1 - How can I tame the brightness? @onehorsepony I know the feeling. I had the opposite experience of what everyone said I should have with a bright sound. I have Wilson Sophia 1 that everyone, friend, dealers and Wilson say have a brighter presentation with the titanium invert... | |
| Favorite Tribute Albums? Here's a favorite of mine in each category Petty Country - A country music celebration of Tom Petty Ryan Adam's cover of Taylor Swift's 1989 album | |
| Soft-dome tweeter damage - NBD or permanently compromised? I am with everyone else here....very odd!! Unclear description of used speakers being purchased but not wanting to name the mfg....doesn't seem to be a mfg issue. Also, any speaker I have ever had from cheap to expensive would have had to suffer... | |
| Integrated Amp Pairing for Harbeth 30.2 @layton64 Here you go. I had an ARC GSi75 for a couple years and it is a fantastic integrated with a superb phono and DAC. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650164993-audio-research-gsi75/ | |
| Sonus Faber Amati Tradition or Serafino G2 @rock112 the toe-in appears good in your picture; I think the optimal position strategy varies by manufacturer but I would think it would be similar...not sure about that; Regardless, with Wilsons they toe-in quite a bit. They have mostly flat... | |
| Sonus Faber Amati Tradition or Serafino G2 @rock112 Glad they are working out so well! Having speakers you truly love as the hub of your system makes this journey so much more enjoyable. As you experienced with the upgraded streamer the possibilities for improvements are endless and aw... | |
| Sonus Faber Amati Tradition or Serafino G2 @rock112 How are the Amatis sounding? I have been considering some SF speakers and just read through your thread. | |
| Anyone wear gloves to handle vacuum tubes? I think back to my first tube amp and how naive and ignorant I was. I was afraid to touch them from the halogen era as well. I quickly gained confidence and have never used gloves. I still love my halogen pendant lights in the kitchen. I have ... | |
| Seeking a Tube preamplifier @kjl1065 Not sure if an Audio Research REF 6 would have enough of the tube flavor you seek but it may. With some patience you should be able to pick one up within your budget. If it is not for you, they typically sell easily. | |
| Why do tube amps often subjectively sound more powerful than SS ? When I bought some Alexia 1 a couple years ago, I took my Audio Research REF 75SE with me to pick up the speakers and to listen to them with my amp. There was much written about those speakers being hard on amps due to the impedance dips. That g... | |
| Comparing speakers at home questions I have been searching for my next speaker for about 5 years to replace speakers I have had for 7. I know my system's sound so well so I have not had the need to A-B speakers. When I have purchased components like DACs and streamers I do a LOT of... | |
| I’m considering upgrading my speakers internal wiring @bobbyloans This may have already been said so apologies if redundant....I didn't have the patience to read through the thread but if you do this, you should also accept that these are now your speakers as their resale value will be lowered. Re... | |
| Why did you purchase the equipment you have and what do you like most about it? I have always loved music and worked on improving my car systems in high school and had my LXI Series all in one floor standing system that I lusted over for quite a while in the ol Sears catalog. I had my Bose period in my 20s when I had the AM-... | |
| PrimaLuna EVO 400 v Cary SLI-100 @mattsca I owned an Audio Research GSi 75 a few years ago. It is a fantastic piece with phono and DAC standard on all units. I needed more power as I have Wilson Audio that are a bit power hungry. There is one on USAM now for $6000. |
