| Holo Audio May DAC denafrips dacs are excellent, but a little bright amongst the r2r crowd, and according to my research, so is the holo springs unit (based on that i have ruled it out for my own use) Never found that with a borrowed Holo Spring L2 in NOS, when it ... | |
| Wilson Alexia 2 Please no Mcintosh. +1The ARC Ref 160 monos, ARC power supplies are monsters that enable the amps to grab and slam the bottom end as well as anything I have heard to date. With high output impedance of .7ohm of the Ref-160’s into the Alexia’s ... | |
| Yesterday's Spinners Cambridge CXC transport only is a new one that's very good for the money. And I've got my eye on a Denafrips Avatar one day.Many, at the moment, I'm using a very nice sounding old one Arcam Delta 250 transport only. So far the best one I've had wa... | |
| Amp matching for Klipsch Forte III I owned those, just about anything will drive them, just need something with laid back highs, old school tubes come to mind. As the upper mids and tweeter can take your head of with a bright amp that has a lean/tight bass as well.The Pass Pass Lab... | |

| Choosing an Amplifier to go with Spendor D7 Choosing an Amplifier to go with Spendor D7 Pass Labs XA30.8 or X250.8. I’d go the Pass XA30.8 or if you can go higher the XA60.8 if you have the buckshttps://www.stereophile.com/images/0415-SD7fig1.jpgAt 90db and higher than 4ohm loading, wit... | |

| Integrated amp suggestions. 3952rsalmax My speakers are Sonus Faber Nova 5 Great speaker, have been said to be a hard load a bit like the Amati's which can dive down to nearly 2ohm in the low bass. For those you want the very best integrated, and to me that will be the... | |
