| Best light weight full range speaker recommendation. In general, I have found the better the speakers the more they weigh. If you are buying speakers in that category, I would expect the dealer to come over and set them up, and tune them. If you need to move them... yes furniture sliders make ea... | |
| Bose speaker Bose has always been a marketing company claiming they sold high-end speakers but they sounding completely low end. They have given the high end a really bad name. Good luck selling them. | |
| Tube Line Stage around $5k @oddiofyl "I need a "destination " preamp ... " I've had three of those now since I was your age. | |
| blue light arround glass tube its risk? Huh? There is some blue light coming from a tube where there was none before? Turn it off and replace tube, before it takes out the channel. | |
| Sonus faber center speaker as front? I would skip also. Too much money to bet. Speakers are too personal to bet on a bazar application with no recourse. | |
| Conrad Johnson Premier 8 / Triode TRX2 Definitely bring them to your house. Auditioning will like end any reluctance on your part. I would love to have owned the amps and preamp. Audition them at the same time.I bet you buy them. | |
| Any thoughts on the Woo WA11? 😊👍... I'm pretty sure that anyone using those horrible Koss headphones had the same reaction. I thought you would get that! | |

| Looking for thoughts on Sonus Faber speakers It sounds like Sonus Faber are the perfect fit for you. Once I turned from being infatuated with planar speakers for over thirty years and wanted more realistic, balanced speakers I got SF. First, Cremona, then Olympica 3, and now Amati Traditiona... | |
| Does Time alignment and Phase coherency make for a better loudspeaker? One of dozens of variables that can be used to build good speaker... undoubtedly doing this has a negative effect on something else. Audio design is all about trade offs. | |
| Tube Line Stage around $5k + 1 Audio Research | |
| Any thoughts on the Woo WA11? At his age I had a set of 15 pound... well they felt like it... Koss that gave everyone who wore them a splitting headache from the weight and poorly cushioned head band. | |
| To DAC or not to DAC ? @headphonedreams +1 The Absolute Sound and Stereophile Recommended Components issue. A two box solutions allow greater flexibility to upgrade one aspect... save up for next upgrade... etc. you might save a few dollars with a single box solut... | |
| Brinkmann and Koetsu? I have a Koestue Rosewood Signature and it sounds exactly as advertised. Neutral balanced, detailed, natural, and musical. I am using it on a contemporary Linn LP12. I would buy it again. |
