| Valve amplification vs Pass labs @neilco Almost a year has passed and just curious if you made a move away from the VAC amps to a solid state one? I previously had a VAC phi200 and reluctantly made the change due to many factors. Ultimately I ended up with a Gryphon Diablo 300 ... | |
| Is my amp good enough? I think the Monitor Audio Gold 300 speakers will allow you to hear the quality of your current NAD amp. If at a point in the future you find an itch to upgrade the amplifier I believe the speakers will be capable of performing at the level of you... | |
| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? I acquired two Zu Mother power cords for my Shanling EL34 based monoblocks years ago and the improvement over the original factory cords was audible. I have never forgiven Zu… 🤣 | |
| Looking for an all-in-one just-add-speakers streamer for my son to take to college Look at the self powered Vanatoo speakers. Worked well in my son’s dorm and they are blue tooth capable so he just used his phone or a USB from his computer. Simple and had excellent sound. The Vanatoo Zeros or Model One depending on size needed... | |
| Need help with a fuse Also I believe the fuse is possibly in a small pull out drawer where the power cord plugs in… | |

I have compared with external DACs in my system and continue to employ the Gryphon DAC for its performance in m... | |

| Anybody using tube amps to drive Thiel CS 3.7's ? A few years ago I used a VAC 100 watt per channel stereo amp to drive Thiel CS2.4s This combination worked well in a small room, but in my larger room (16’ x 23’) the 2.4s performed better with my Ayre VX 5/20 amp. VAC Renaissance preamp was emp... | |
| Integrated Amp ideas for a very young audiophile I will second the Vanatoo suggestion. The Vanatoo Zero is a full system in two powered speakers with Bluetooth for streaming or can be feed by analogue or usb. I use the Vanatoo One system in my office and the Zero around the house as it is smal... | |
| Will Origin Live Conqueror tonearm fit my Rega RP10's skeletal plinth? Glad you are starting to get things situated. I am currently using a Conqueror Mk4 and an Enterprise Mk4 and my dual arm Origin Live Sovereign TT. In the past I have also owned the OL Silver Mk2, OL Encounter Mk3c, OL Illustrious Mk3c so have a ... | |
| DACs with switchable high/low gain (output) settings The new Weiss DAC204 has four possible outputs from it base output to plus 10db, 20db and 30db options. | |
| Recommend me a DAC under 3k Currently have a Weiss DAC204 in my system on a trial. It is a basic DAC without a lot of extra features, but the sound and detail is exceptional at its price point. Full retail is above your desired price level, but I recommend you try to find ... | |

| Help me select few vinyl LPs Search Amazon for any of the Blue Note “Tone Poet” series Jazz reissues. Have not been disappointed in any selection from this series and you could receive them quickly. | |
| My turntable sounds like the speed is too slow If the speed is consistent and correct then focus needs to shift to the cartridge setup. Has it always had this “muffled vocals” presentation or is this a recent change? Check VTF, and alignment of the cartridge as your next steps. |
