| SS integrated amp to drive Wilson audio sophia/WP7 The best Wilson sound I have heard came from a Naim setup - the new SuperNait could be an option as well as a Levinson integrated. | |
| Wadia 170i transport experience? Hei83: Thanks for bringing that placing some "light" (no pun) to the difference between toslink and coax, that should have some drawbacks in the audible side of the system.Yioryos: I have not devoted that much of a time to compare the Wadia170i to... | |
| Next step: tube pre or tube power amp? Steve - I had an Acoustic Plan SItar (hybrid integrated) a nice option to get the best from both worlds, Pathos has also some interesting options in that route. | |
| Is There any Truly "High End" Integrated Amp? Intrigued of your final component list Deadlyvj, were the Jadis/Boulder/Rowland or Gryphon not suitable for your option list criteria?I have read great things on the Vac Alpha (but never heard it) as well as for the Burmester (but courious to lear... | |
| Wadia 170i transport experience? Interesting finding since I tried an AppleTV (same WAV files that on my iTouch) connected thru a Toslink cable (only digital-out option from the AppleTV) to the same Reimyo DAC I have.Much better interfase since now I can browse from a 15 inch mon... | |
| Next step: tube pre or tube power amp? I have just seen an Aranov preamp here at AGON that looks like what you are looking for...(I do not know the seller and/or interested in pushing this item) just a safe disclaimer. :) | |

| Next step: tube pre or tube power amp? I would go for a tubed preamp first, although a tubed power amp would be a natural step forward in time.There are good options in the used market from Melos (SHA1 sig), Audible Illusions or Counterpoint. | |
| Wadia 170i transport experience? I updated my analog front end and left my digital one seeing no use for a month or more - I just started to re-listen to the Wadia170i/Reimyo combo and continues to amaze me.My analog source is better in many regards compared to the digital combo,... | |
| Jadis DA 60 Integrated Lula - In my case, I have had in my system two Jadis amps so far with the Sounus Faber Guarneri's - the DA50S and a pair of JA30. Both handle the speakers very well in my mid-sized room. Class A amps deliver more than its rated output (I can't exp... | |
| Any word on the Blue Angel "Mantis"? Uktel - did you have the chance to listen to your friend's Mantis? | |
| NOS 12AU7s with Ayon amps I tried Amperex, RCS, Siemmens and Telefunken for my Jadis DA50S - I ended up liking the Telefunkens NOS for speed and resolution with the KT88 output valves. - Fernando | |
| Suitable tube preamp for pass labs x250 I used a First Sound preamp while I had an X250 with great results. Fernando | |
