| List Of Small Company Tube Amps Rogers High Fidelity sells demos (with full workup and warranties) on Ebay at decent prices. | |
| Audio Cables: All the Same? I don't know if the difference in cables would hold up to ABX testing for most people. I initially thought that there was no difference in cables but tried a couple of expensive but not too expensive (under $1,000) cables and heard what I believe ... | |
| As I get older... When I experimented with Class D, I found that the KEF LS50s (Meta in my case) absolutely loved Class D and brought out a range I had never heard before from these speakers. However, the Class D amp didn't play well with my main speakers so I didn... | |
| Class D Audio I bought his (Tom's) Ganfet Class D amp as an experiment. It ran into some trouble and I communicated with Tom and demonstrated that I had tried all combinations to make sure it was the amp which was the problem. He took it back, no questions, and... | |
| OPINIONS REGARDING DYNAVECTOR DV20X2-H/L I don't have a lot of experience with cartridges but the DV20x2L was my first MC cartridge and it convinced me to get into vinyl. I can't compare it with others except to say that it gave me that "wow" experience with vinyl almost giving up on the... | |
| Small footprint subwoofer RELs are nice but let me add the RSL Speedwoofer 10s Mkii into the mix. I have one in my home theater set up and it is a smaller 10" woofer but it sounds great. | |
| Recommend me a tube integrated amplifier I suggest the Don Sach’s Valhalla integrated tube amp. http://www.dsachsconsulting.com/valhalla%20integrated.html Lynn Olson, whom I met at Pacific Audio Fest in 2023, told me that he thought that the Valhalla amp was as good as $15k tube amps. ... | |
| Most Musical 6NS7 tube for a Preamp? On the 6NS7 tubes, I bought the Don Sach’s Valhalla amp with upgraded Linlai 6NS7 tubes and they sound great. I was able to compare them to the "stock" tubes sent with that amp and they were much better, in my opinion. I haven’t tried the E series... | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp I would be really interested to hear any reactions/reviews of anyone using the Raven preamp with the praised Class D monoblock amps such as the Atma-Spheres or the AGDs. | |
| If A.I. took the place of musicians, would you listen to it? A lot of popular music is made by producers and this has been true for a long time. There are drum machines, pitch correction, session musicians and music is stitched together with effects and loops and this has been true since disco and before. A... | |
| Magnepan LRS plus & Atma-Sphere digital amps LRS is a great speaker for smaller rooms than the 1.7 and you don't need high priced amps to drive them. You can easily go Class D or get used AB amps. | |
| Importance of streamer in audio chain I wasn't able to hear any difference between an expensive (for me) streamer going through an expensive DAC and my computer going through my relatively inexpensive DAC. I was able to quickly switch between them (they were each set up on a different... | |
| Beware of Wayne's audio - Poor product quality & worst business ethics All I will say is that Wayne's Audio has 102 positive feedbacks with zero negative ones on USAudioMart. | |
| Caladan Break-in As I posted in another thread, Clayton's speakers for Spatial Audio Lab needed 300 - 400 hours to really break in so be patient. | |
| Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw? The sale is a local sale with pickup only in Shepherdstown, WV but only about 1.5 hours from DC or Baltimore. If I was out there, I would definitely investigate. |
