| No love for Legacy Audio I too have a pair of Legacy Focus XD's, which I have only had for about 2 weeks. So still breaking in, I also have a Wavelet II on order to get some control over the bass, but these are very good speakers. I am using a VAC Renaissance 70/70 Signat... | |
| PSVANE ACME 300B TUBES I wish, but I need 2 matched quads and they are simply out of my price range. The Genelex PB 300's were $1750! | |
| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? My first "go" at this was many years ago when I got my Genesis V speakers that came with an outboard amp/crossover and used my VAC tube amp on top. My next setup was the internally powered Golden Ear Triton 1.r speakers which also "bi- amp" the ba... | |
| What new gear have you just bought? Yesterday I got my new Legacy Audio Focus XD speakers going, now I am burning them in. I traded my old speakers in for the Legacy Wavelet II which I will get in a few weeks, then I am done for a while. Next upgrade will be a DAC most likely. But t... | |
| Lush and Romantic Tube Amps @rcprince I have owned the VAC Renaissance 70/70 for 20 years, recently updated by VAC to their "signature" version 5 months ago. I don't consider it to lean towards a warm tuby sound. It is rather transparent, with a beautiful "realistic" midran... | |
| Subwoofer Advice & Therapy :) I can only respond with regard to the 1723 1s. I have one in my HT set up so no experience in my 2ch rig. This is a very good sub and often surprises me as for it’s tunefulness for music and how powerful it is in HT. It’s a 13 inch driver/sealed b... | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update All I can say is prior to 3.5 update my Venus II was 000111 I2s setting. After the update it remained 000111 and I use a Tublus Argentus I2s cable. I have no preamp right now so I cannot listen but it registers as receiving the correct signal. (44... | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update There is a new Venus II/12th firmware version V3.5 vs the "old" update V3.3. Has anyone tried it? Any comparison changes, vs V1 or V3.3? We updated my Venus II to V3.5 yesterday and it's running non-stop now for burn in. My problem is I have no p... | |
| seeking advise please on my short list for new speakers? (15k budget) You mention Legacy Audio, the Focus XD are very versatile, adn at your budget. You can run them self powered, or bi amp them with a low power nice tube amp on top. Later you can add the Wavelet 2 and have an external crossover, with room correctio... | |
| XLR cable recommendations needed I also thought of Juan @blisshifi , great guy to work with, highly recommended. | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update So for those that have updated the Venus II and have some time on them what are the changes to it? Any downgrade at all, excessive brightness or sibilance? I was hoping for a bit more transparency, maybe better bass control and soundstage improv... | |
| 300b lovers @lynn_olson "However ... the way the Raven is configured now, it can only drive one output at a time, either XLR or RCA. Well, technically it can drive both at once ... no harm is done to the circuit or any parts ... but the load is then unbalan... | |
| 300b lovers I am glad I followed this, am in search of a new line-stage and the Raven looks like a good prospect. I have simple needs with only one RCA and 1 XLR input and same with outputs. I will pair it with my VAC Renaissance 70/70Signature amp and XLR in... | |

| How Long Is Too Long? My pre amp took 3 months last summer. It was in for an update, which I paid for. |
