| Question about wpc on tube amps While I agree that 10 watts of tube amp does not equal 100 watts of SS power, I'm not sure about the idea that tube amps won't work with Magnepan speakers though the small budget would be a problem unless something used can be found. Here is ano... | |
| Danny Richie on loudspeaker design. Danny’s video was a response to Jay’s Iyagi’s video and clarified or corrected things Jay was saying. I think Danny made it very clear that when people send in a speaker to him, they are doing so because there is something that needs fixing and he... | |
| Hidden Gems in Classic Rock Albums @tonykay I saw Romeo Void live back in the day and it was one of the best concerts I remember seeing. The guitar, bass and drums were just locked in and could create incredible tension just with dynamics since there really wasn't any solos played ... | |
| What's your picks @grislybutter I like your chart as I own 2 of the 5 boutique speakers (Nola and Spatial). Plus I've listened to and like the Buchardt and Totem speakers. I haven't seen or heard Fritz speakers. | |
| Sachs owners near me? Don is somewhere in California I think. | |
| Suggestions for Phono Preamp Thanks for the update. Many of the phono preamps mentioned in this thread have received excellent reviews and remarks from their owners. I found that the PS Audio Stellar ticked all the boxes I had laid out with excellent reviews and remarks from ... | |
| Unique Piano Peaceful Beauty Try Chopin. My favorite is Prélude No. 4 in E minor, Op. 28/4 | |
| Anybody try the new Heaven 11 Billie Mk 2? My two cents but not about the Billie. There is a lot of good stuff out there and the price points seem to be dropping for better stuff. However, the other factor with the reviewers is that they are getting products to review from some manufactu... | |
| Thinking about another amplifier (Galion) @veerossi Just doing a quick look, the "bankruptcy" isn't filed under Federal law, it is in Minnesota under state law. Companies use these reorganization statutes to deal with debt that they can't handle sometimes to slow things down. Creditors ha... | |
| Songs with excellent advice? A couple more: Nilsson: Lime in the Coconut Lowe: Cruel to be Kind Dury: Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick Mann: Wise Up Alvvays: Ones Who Love You Camper Van Beethoven: Take the Skinheads Bowling Dead Kennedys: Holiday in Cambodia CSN&Y... | |
| Why are these called 5 way binding posts? I count four! Pretty sure the post is just bragging about its abilities. | |
| the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data? My two cents is to figure out what type of speaker you are looking for first. Initially that is a question of floor standing vs bookshelf, ribbon, horn, planar, open baffle, box speaker etc. Then there are the different types of speaker voicings t... | |
| 300b lovers @donsachs I am seriously thinking of coming to Seattle for the audio show in June. Are you going to be there every day? I've never been to one of these shows before. Meeting you in person (finally) and seeing your 300b mono blocks is a main motiva... | |
| Another "Best" amplifier Question. I have the KEF LS50 Meta speakers. I did a trial with a GaNfet class D amp (and a Schiit Freya+ preamp) and they really came to life. Oddly, none of my other speakers reacted that way. I think you can get away with some cheaper GaNfet amps or inte... | |
| Suggestions for Phono Preamp @rooze I am aware of ifi and I use the IDSD pro for my DAC on my main system. I didn't see anyone recommend the model ifi you mention. I've seen earlier models praised for its value at the low price. |
