| 15 amp vs 20 amp @awise1961 You mention no change in sound quality. You hear none? | |
| Thoughts on using the DAC in my oppo 205 with a CD Transport. Congratulations. It is likely to be a very big change. Tell us about it. | |
| Acoustics experts - a little help please Congratulations. Experimentation is frequently rewarded. Once in a while I'll do something big as well. I can see how that could work. Added bonus, the view is more open. | |
| Will a record weight harm the motor in a direct drive turntable? @larry +1 Excellent response. I couldn't have said it better. | |
| Streaming recommendations @jeffbij +1 Hey, fellow Vancouverian. All good choices for your system. | |
| Repair or replace my subwoofer And the depth charges on U-571! | |
| Flatscreen between speakers Congratulations! Hard work and thought is rewarded in this pursuit. Happy to hear about your results. | |
| Why the huge increase in the price of Sonus Farber Amanti G5 speakers. @deep_333 The ARC story is about the specifics in one case of development in the high end audio arena. I did not know any specific numbers of hours on anything from Sonus Faber speaker development. But I am sure it is similar, it demonstrates t... | |
| Is My 7 Year Old Aires G1 Still Relevant? . I am familiar with the Aries G2.1 and G2.2. The G2.1 sonically was below par with some of its competitors and the 2.2 was a large sonic upgrade. So, it is likely the Altair would likely be a very significant upgrade. From a long term perspe... | |
| 15 amp vs 20 amp Hmmm. Good question. Ideally, a separate direct line, or if that is more than you can do, along with the amp. But, I have never experimented with adding a sub to the amp circuit. The sub is an amp… you don’t want to constrict flow. I am sure the f... | |
| Integrated amp for tube lover @audphile1 +1… and the Pass Inc’s have much better rhythm and pace than they used to. Not tube levels… but pretty good. | |
| Integrated amp for tube lover I know you said 100wpc. But I would seriously look at the Audio Research I/70. I have heard the I/50 power with a number of speakers and it is simply beautiful sounding and way more powerful than you would think.. The I/70 is going to be released... | |
| Pass Labs XA-25 vs XA-30.8 amplifier @curiousjim Nice speakers. I have Amati Traditional and power them with ARC Ref 160s in triode mode... so 70 wpc instead of the 140wpc in linear mode. They are not compromised in any way... but this is a tube amp. While you could probably "get... | |
| Why the huge increase in the price of Sonus Farber Amanti G5 speakers. Research and development. I was reading about the design of the Audio Research Reference 330m. The announcements was released about two years ago. When the new owner heard it, he said stop. He hired a team of seven engineers and they spent two y... | |
| MacIntosh c12000 preamp - Can not tell a difference between tube and solid state sound Interesting question. I recommend doing this. Put the toggle in one position... tube or solid state. Forget about your system. Listen to music (not the system) for a couple of weeks. Then flip the switch. Don’t sit down to see if you can hear a di... |
