| Did anyone return a PSAudio Powerplant? Why? I tried a PS20 in my system for 3 weeks ( brand new) from a friend who was moving her system so I “broke in “ for her. I didn’t feel any “darker” nor “quieter” background as anticipated, but I felt the sound stage (left/right) was slightly compr... | |
| Beautiful Colored Tube Preamp ($10k budget) to Pair w/ Very Accurate Monitors (PSI A25M) My experience with PSI active speakers are they tend to be very “forward” or “energized “ so please consider a preamp with input gain control | |
| Audio Research versus McIntosh tube amps: anyone experience or compare both? I have an audiophile friend who switched from pass lab XA160.8 to ARC ref250. Paired with ARC ref10 pre amp he and I just love how they sound with Magico S3. If you like details and “fast” response with a little tube bloom then ARC is one of the v... | |
| Monitor Stands - Made of Stone I use 40mm thick black granite on my Magico A5 (with its spikes, sitting on the granite) and gives a much more defined bass and revealed many more micro dynamics especially in the sub 80hz region. Had used other decoupling device and different thi... | |
| Is soundstage DEPTH a myth? In my humble experience : speaker placement is the biggest factor of hearing (and reproducing ) the “depth” from your source of music. In most cases if your speakers are placed too close to the front wall of the room you tend to have a rather fl... | |
| Analog Upgrade itch @pindac thank you and it sounds very in consistent with what I heard from other audiophilies’ comment. DS “nothing wrong but nothing attractive” my personal but very limited experience is they are very detailed with exceptionally low noise floor. ... | |
| Analog Upgrade itch @karl_desch thanks , the StabiR + 4pt 11 is an upgrade to me, is worth every penny … now my itch goes to which cartridge I should try next 😂 : DS optical or SPU (I know they are very different) | |
| Analog Upgrade itch @surge a platform under your power supply ！ wow may I know what you used underneath your TT and your speakers lol ? just an update : for the last 2 months I was lucky enough to have several dealers let me audition different phonos in my prem... | |
| Need advice for upgrading my analog setup @thefrator hello I also upgrading my vinyl system and I agree with @ghdprentice phono stage and cartridges are equally important just like the table. I tried over 10 different brands over the last 2 months (half of them auditioned in my own system... | |
| What's your favorite $5-7000 turntable? +1 for Kuzma ,S or R if budget allows | |
| Second tonearm / cartridge @elliottbnewcombjr my phono amp does have 3 inputs : 2 MCs/ 1MM thanks for reminding me that. | |
| Looking for upgrade of Accuphase E-480 I auditioned several Accuphase (class AB / class A) but they all have the Accuphase signature sound. B&W seems to be a good match in general , so my suggestion is to try other amplifier brands. Or some of the recordings are just the way it is ... | |
| Which LS3/5a? Hello @bobheinatz i have (and still own) a pair of 15ohm Rogers walnut 3/5a(1990) and a pair of Harbeth Rosewood (special edition) 11ohm (1994) 1. I found them perform the best with Foundation speaker stands , without a proper stand , they don... | |
| To pricey I auditioned the new D4 (803/804) powered by Classe Audio and I didn’t like either of them but it could be the amplifications and the speakers were merely broken-in (I used to own N802 and love it!) IMHO you may want to consider upgrading the NA... | |
| Analog Upgrade itch @dover thanks for the explanation. I didn’t aware the 2 options from Allnic ! That adds points to Allnic over Kondo. do you (or any seasoned memeber) have compared Kondo GE1 vs Allnic ? How do they differ sonically ? cheers |
