| Looking to move to a Tube Integrated setup if your speakers are that efficient the amp that will beat everything else is the Audio Note UK OTO SE. You can get a phono version as well (the phonostage is MAGIC). 3k used should get you a nice example with good tubes. 7K is approx the retail p... | |
| Vinyl/TT Gurus Chime in! Cartridge Decision: Rework My old Sumiko or get a new cartridge? Hey @birdfan, were you able to get your Virtuoso re-tipped by Soundsmith? I have one too and for a minute thought it was worn out but it turns out that the overhang on my tonearm was massively incorrect. Once I fixed that I am in Satori! I just wa... | |
| CDP with "holographic" sound for less than 1000? the Anthem CD1 is incredible and will give you the "in the room" quality you are looking for. I find Arcam to be flat and thin... | |
| Thiel CS1.5 and properly sized Aragon amp Right now I am using a PS Audio Delta 100 with my 1.5's and it is a great match. Excellent bass control with a warm full bodied sound. I am using a sonic frontier's tube pre and I am very happy with the combination. Krell is a popular suggestion f... | |

| KEF 103.2 - what to expect? I have a pair of these in a second system and they are wonderful. They're not perfect cosmetically but they sing beautifully. The 103.2 are an amazing set of speakers. They rival a lot of high end monitors today. I believe that the drivers were ma... | |
| B&W CDM 1 SE or CDM 1 NT I too would agree that the SE sounds warmer and more lush than the NT. I tried the two extensively and bought the SE from one friend over an other. Either pair is a great speaker though. | |
| sonographe 120, is it worth having? it's a sa-150 not a not a 120. | |
| Rega Planet Original vs 2000 - Is it better? I've had both and the difference is very small. | |
| Tubelike SS Power amp Conrad Johnson pretty much invented the "tube" sound as many of us know it. The SS amps they make are amazing. If you're on a budget their sonographe line is amazing! enjoy enjoy! | |
| Classe DR-15 amplifier compared to Classe Dr-9 Lornoah, what do you mean about "as fast"? Can, or any of the other guys on here describe this statement in more detail?I've heard the term used and would love some clarification.Thanks! | |
| sonographe 120, is it worth having? This amp is a true gem. It's a true gem. Jump on any sonographe gear fast because it's very affordable and sonically excellent. Smooth and liquid with strong taut bass and a deep and wide sound stage. I own both the sa 120 and the sa250 and I perf... | |
| Conrad Johnson's Sonographe SA-250 or the SA-400? that's a pretty $$ preamp : ) |
