| Top 3 songs to evaluate a system A lot of interesting choices. When I check out a system, I generally try to play songs in a few categories: 1. Lots of chiming or shimmering guitars and I'm looking for whether that grates on me or sounds beautiful. 2. Songs with significant ba... | |
| Cambridge Audio CXA81 Review and Thoughts? I have the Cambridge Audio CXA81 and I think it's a pretty good amp especially when played at louder volumes. I do agree it is a bit thin but my main issue is that it lacks in imaging. I've just replaced it in my secondary system (medium small ro... | |
| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? I'm 64 and got very interested in music which was called punk or new wave. I played in some bands. I love indie rock/dream pop etc. I am constantly on the lookout for new music and sometimes it is older stuff I had never heard of before. I've al... | |
| Galion TS120 @avanti1960 Thanks for the clarification. | |
| Galion TS120 @avanti1960 The $4495 is for the special edition. The standard model Galion is $3495. Having looked at the website, I think the only model Doge they are selling is the Doge 7 not the Doge 10 and it is a special anniversary sale for cash only. ... | |
| Galion TS120 Well my infernal dialogue is over. I'm getting a Don Sachs Valhalla amp. Very excited. Appreciate all of the posts in this amp. Still very curious to hear the Galion TS120 in person or read reviews from anyone who buys/tries it. | |
| Galion TS120 @clarke10925 Thanks for the information. Not the Cayin A88T however but the relatively newer Cayin CS-88a. I'm still going back and forth on several options in my head. | |
| Galion TS120 Just a bit of more information. The DAC module on the ARC i50 just came out. Story is here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1dKFaoo5Xs&t=202s | |
| Cayin CS-55a integrated... which speakers? One day. | |
| Galion TS120 @jjss49 I'm not trying to inflict brain damage but I do agonize over decisions like this. You are correct "entry level" is relative to the manufacturer but "entry level" do tend to be more basic in functions. I actually took that term vis a vis th... | |
| Galion TS120 @dman1974 Thanks for posting your experience. What speakers were you driving? | |
| Galion TS120 @jjss49 Is this an amp you’ve actually heard? Why is this, in your opinion, the answer to everything? I've been trying to investigate it and there are a few things bothering me. First, the optional modular phono stage is MM and high output MC car... | |
| Cayin CS-55a integrated... which speakers? @audiofilo123 Sorry, I missed the part about Portugal. Btw, how is Portugal? I have some dreams about moving there for retirement. | |
| Cayin CS-55a integrated... which speakers? Carlos Marchisotto told me his customers reported that the Nola Boxer speakers sound great with the Cayin CS-A88. I don't know if the CS-55a sounds the same as the bigger brother. | |
| Galion TS120 Thanks @turbotan for the lowdown. I don't think most of the posts are negative. Many, like me, are just trying to figure stuff out with the limited information. |
