| MC cartridge for Clearaudio Concept 1600$ Sumiko Starling was very impressive. | |
| Rays Tubes A buddy of mine swore by these things when he got them. I brought up some NOS and premium current manufactured ones to compare. The 6sn7’s were beaten handily by in all cases by the Dawning series Shuguang, the Elite series Linlai, and Sylvania an... | |
| Six DAC Comparison The best value piece of the bunch is tge new Aero at 4 grand....and, depending on your taste, maybe the best sounding. A friend has the Aero and uses NOS 6SN7'S and it sounds very very nice. He actually had a Benchmark and, for him, it was no co... | |
| Suggestions on improvement If you're using the stock power cord in the integrated, try a step up on that. Nothing crazy, and something that you can get a tryout period on. Anticables changed my mind on power power cables years ago when I used one in my integrated. Paul w... | |
| Looking at these specific preamps give me your opinions The Raven. I heard the prototype and was able to compare it to the LTA. It was an immediate "no contest." And the final product has a couple more improvements that Don Sachs, Lynn Olson, and the guys at Cinemag used to put on the final touches.... | |
| Used tube preamp $2-3K @kckrs I have a Don Sachs all in pre with premium Dawning Series we6sn7plus tubes that I'm putting up for sale if you might be interested. It has served me well with everything I have ever mated it to. Contact me if you might be interested. | |

| Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed? Like someone said above..... A little bit of mods on the CW4's really helps squeeze extra SQ out of those things. Damping the horn, tightening up the enclosure, and then a little work on the crossover does wonders. It brings that speaker up a... | |
| Need help choosing my first amp for my first speakers Not a bad choice at all. That amp has plenty of oooomph and should keep those speakers well fed. One suggestion, try an inexpensive upgrade on the power. I think you will be presently surprised at what more that Rotel has to offer. Nothing cra... | |
| Tube amps under $7500 Look into AtmaSphere OTL. Excellent amps with great customer service. | |
| Best DAC’S $5k to $15k For me it's the Lampizator line. The Baltic 4, Atlantic TRP, and Big 7 all fit your price range. The Lampis beat several of the brands listed above. I went through a LOT of DACs before settling on the Golden Gate. | |
| 40+ watts SET, cost is not a problem Have you considered an OTL amp? Atma-Sphere makes some excellent product that may open up the sound of that system. |
