| Dynaudio Special 40 or OLD Dynaudio Focus 160? ^^^And I completely disagree!I have lived with the Harbeth Monitor 30.1 driven by KT88/12AX7/12AU7 tubes long enough now to know they can ROCK out with the best!UFO,Thin Lizzy,Zepp you name it,NOTHING is lacking to my hearing.I don’t understand ho... | |
| Terrible Booms I have had great success with Auralex Acoustics isolation pads & they are cheap compared to what you've already tried..Good luck. | |
| Robb Report ^^^ Truly memorable replies! | |
| This is good. First off I NEVER ever allow ANY influence from what mainstream listeners enjoy to dictate what "styles"music I enjoy so trying to attach a "why" based on ANY outside influence is like a dog chasing it's tail..Second this crap ONLY applies to "sh... | |

| Thoughts about Jadis and Harbeth ^^^ 1.Demo'd Orchestra in 2012 & I stand by my assessment of build quality!Thin top plate flexed with minimal pressure,tube sockets were crooked & don't get me started about having to take the amp,turn it upside down & remove back plat... | |
| Thoughts about Jadis and Harbeth I just have to LMAO at EVERY reply that states how whatever SS amp "sounds like tubes" "stages or images like tubes","does what tubes do" blah blah blah! I demo'd Jadis years ago & IMO build quality was a JOKE,thin,flimsy top plate,cheap tube ... | |

| Sound Quality Matters I would like to see the break down by country.I imagine the USA falls short compared to places like France(nice systems everywhere),Hong Kong,Taiwan & Japan(per capita)..It seems to me that in the USA,muggles still don’t invest in decent A/V s... | |
| Mcintosh MA6500 vs Marantz PM6006 for low volume listening (and loudness compensation) If your open to other options IMO you are prime candidate for a really good headphone rig.There are amazing tube HA's for a few hundred dollars & world class headphones from about $300.00 to sky's the limit.Late night listening would never be ... | |
| ***Is It Me Or Have Todays Modern Tubes Gotten REALLY REALLY Good*** ^^^ to be honest I've heard Tube integrated amps & separates up to $10,000.00 & IMO they just are NOT that much "better"than the Quad.I would try some good NOS small signal tubes and look at upgrading speakers/cables before I would change ... | |
| ***Is It Me Or Have Todays Modern Tubes Gotten REALLY REALLY Good*** Hi raiths.I don't see the Cayin as an upgrade as far as the sound is concerned.That little Quad amp is amazingly musical.About the only real difference I hear is when running KT88's in UL mode.Bass slam & definition is deeper & has a littl... | |
