| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? Along with the sellers who have return policies, there are forums out there which have subforums with owners of various speakers and maybe someone near where you live. I've found many audio lovers are very generous (or just lonely?) with their tim... | |
| 300b lovers @donsachs @lynn_olson It was great to meet you both at PAF and thanks to each of you for taking time to talk to me. That was the main reason I went there (and yes, Lynn, the lines at SeaTac were awful flying out). My given name is Jonathan a... | |
| Magnapan LRS+ VS .7 I started with the LRS (not the +) and it made me want more. I got the .7s and I thought it gave me more but then I wanted more. The .7s can be gotten fairly cheap used. I'd go that direction. | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread Just introducing myself as a Don Sachs Valhalla owner which was actually made by Cloud over at Spatial Audio Labs after Don taught Cloud how to make the amp. Really loving it. | |
| My experience with the First Watt F7 After getting my speakers, Spatial Audio X5s, I went to the house of someone else who owned the same speakers. He had a Cary tube amp and the F7 and we listened to both. The difference was immediate and stark. The F7 sounded thin and shrill. This ... | |
| Probably a dumb question There's also a Coda preamp on Audio Circle along with the amp linked by @grinnell above. https://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?board=103.0 | |

| Tidal subscription discounts If they don’t offer senior discounts, I guess I’ll have to enlist. Does the army take 64 year olds? (But seriously, I think it's a grand idea to give discount to those who served.) | |
| 300b lovers @wig Where do you live? I live in Tucson so I'm guessing Phoenix area? | |
| pS Audio is dealer only now I guess.. I just went to the PS Audio website and it listed prices for every item that isn't sold out with the chance to order it. | |
| Which Hegel Amp with LRS+ Here's a video with Steve Guttenberg using the Hegel H95 with the LRS speakers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0TGT9Yhzbk | |
| Which Hegel Amp with LRS+ Audio Excellence did a video on the LRS which identified Hegel as a good match. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJdKld_2bCc I would suggest that, if money isn't a consideration, get the most powerful amp you can afford the 390 or 590. However, t... | |
| Node X @stuartbmw3 Me too definitely. Hate hard, etched treble. It is already making good progress and, for me, who isn't going to do much streaming, it is already a success and pretty much what I want. I went after the Node X because of the better DAC a... | |
| Node X I've been busy working but I was able to spend time listening with the Node X on Tuesday and then tonight. The hard edge is softening but I'm also purposefully listening to pretty trebly stuff. I really like the band Alvvays and Molly Rankin has a... | |
| What are the best speakers you have ever owned and why? 1. Spatial Audio Lab X5s 2. Magnepan .7s 3. Martin Logan Mosaic 4. Nola Boxer s3 5. KEF LS50 Meta I had some KEF speakers a long time ago and don't remember what they were. My 3 year old knocked them over and broke them. |
