| Thinking about another amplifier (Galion) @veerossi great news. When you get it, I'd love to hear what you think about it. The thing that bothers me a bit about the amp is how much warm up time is needed for it to sound the best and if you change a setting it is start over from the beginn... | |
| Suggestions for Phono Preamp The Hagerman is one I've thought about. Thanks for the suggestions. I'm taking a close look at each one. | |
| Spatial Audio Labs @jpm It seems to me that most amps sound good with the Xs because they are so easy to drive so you can do SS or tube and SETs and easily drive them with low wattage. My experience has pretty much been, whenever I find the new best thing, it make... | |
| What to try? Just a suggestion. Ron at New Record Day did a sound demonstration of 4 amps here: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=new+record+day+amp+comparison It features the Rogue Audio Cronus III, the Black Ice F35, the Galion TS120E which most... | |
| Hidden Gems in Classic Rock Albums Almost everything by the Kinks is under the radar. Try This Time Tomorrow or Get Back In Line. | |
| Spatial Audio Labs And I own the X5s and they are my endgame speaker. Great transparency plus dynamics. Easy to drive and a great price. You can occasionally find the X5s or X3s on the used markets for great prices. Fantastic speakers, IMHO. | |
| Good Suggestions for Tube Amps under 6k I know we all post about what we have used. My tube background isn't that extensive but I've had the Rogers 65v-2, I still own the LTA Z40+ integrated and now I also own the Don Sachs Valhalla. The Valhalla is about 33 watts and is really really n... | |
| Thinking about another amplifier (Galion) I found this review of the Galion to be the most helpful one I've seen on the net despite the somewhat cheesy presentation. He goes over the pros and cons at the end which I found helpful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRESSN5xQyw | |
| 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. |
