| Amp suggestions for Goldenear Triton One.r speakers FWIW, I have T1.r’s running off a VAC Renaissance 70/70 Signature amp, it is bery good. I’d think a good tube amp (used) would be a good choice. However not knowing your room size and how loud you listen is a factor. My amp has plenty of steam. I ... | |
| Question about wpc on tube amps @ghdprentice Just bought new tubes for my VAC Renaissance 70/70 Signature-$1720 for 8 Gold Lion 300B’s! OP: I’ve used this amp exclusively with speakers with self power bass internally. (Genesis V, Goldenear Triton 1.r and soon to arrive Legacy... | |
| Hidden Gems in Classic Rock Albums I was listening to some Great White yesterday and "Rock ME" and "House of Broken Love" were very well recorded. | |
| Music Server Advice I will throw in a plug for the Aurender N200, it is just a tick better than the N10 which it replaced. It is very good. | |
| Good Suggestions for Tube Amps under 6k @gregjacob The LTA Ultralinear + is on sale for 10% off until April 30. I noticed that when i researched it FWIW. You save $765 | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. @lalitk I am using a Kimber Illuminations D-60 Coax, I do not understand what a mineral based ground is or how it works. | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. I've had my N200 about a week now and it is really nice, it immediately was more transparent, better delineated soundstage which is also wider and deeper too. Great bass! | |

| Silversmith Fidelium @ozzy To be clear you are now using different amps than when you tried them and those are now tube amps? What amps were in there at the time? | |
| Aurender N200 Well yesterday I received my N200 from Juan @ Blisshifi and the transaction went smooth as silk. It's been running non stop since April 10 at noon. Listened to it today and it is sounding really good already vs my old CXN V2. I have a Wireworld Si... | |

| WAF - music to my ears I have a dedicated "mancave" listening room I made in my basement 20 years ago. My wife never listens to my downstairs system. (Its under my user profile) She does notice when I play things she likes from upstairs. "I haven’t heard that song in a ... | |

| Real world Loudspeakers what does very good cost ? Legacy Audio makes the Focus SE and Focus XD, depending on your amplifier they are well regarded. The XD has an internal amp so mates well with tubes, if you have a bigger SS amp then the Focus SE’s will work well. $11,900 for SE and $14,172 for XD. | |
| T+A Solitaire S 530 Magnetostatic Speakers WOW! I am impressed that they can impress you with out subs since I know of your preference to use subs no matter the speakers. So their bass must be pretty impressive. Well done. |
