| Dagostino hd momentum, is lack of rubes a problem? then spend the farm on a nice ss pre. Why spend the farm on a pre.Like I said if you need to color the sound to your liking with a tube pre, you don’t get off on the sound of your source. Better to change the source to one you like.If you don’t... | |
| Lay Off the Newbies! And, stay clear of that guy who yells "shiller" all the time. He only does it about the shillers that push $$$$ "snake oil" relentlessly at every opportunity. And new popup members that post unashamedly and rave about $$$$ "snake oil" product... | |

| Dagostino hd momentum, is lack of rubes a problem? jumia OP Is lack of tubes in their hd momentum preamp cause for concern when paired with a ss amp? jasonbourne52 It’s the designer’s choice! Tubes or transistors - either can make sonically excellent circuits! The disadvantage tubes have is that... | |
| Can you share your older Pass Labs experiences? jusam Can you share your older Pass Labs experiences? Earlier Threshold that Pass designed were the best for me, as they were Bi-Polar output stages (not mosfet) and had far better current delivery. Plus you didn’t get what some describe as the "... | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... What’s the issue with tube pins? I own 70+ year old Western Electric Amps and 300B See that what I mean, absolutely no idea. Your not pumping any where near 400w and the current you would with a 300b just 🤣 What AGD has done is brilliant on more t... | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... First sign of a shiller. Here some more for you to agonize over.Interviewer: I ask Alberto Guerra , why put solid state components inside an old 6550 vacuum tube envelope, bet it’s not vacuum’ed back out and sealed again either."Company founder... | |
| Lay Off the Newbies! There are no stupid questions. No, but many stupid statements by over eager first time purchasers/posters, which seem to be shillers, especially for "snake oil" product companies.Cheers George | |

| Is D for Dry? Class D... I’m refuting the idea that a class D can’t handle this speaker Ralph, don’t skew things around "to seem" to suit your next product. I did not say "won’t handle", I said will not get "the best" out of the Alexia’s bass because of it loading.We have... | |
