| Best Solid State for Avalon Isis I used to own the diamonds and tried many amps. As far as solid state goes, I strongly prefer the Boulder 1060 over the rowland 312. Switch mode power amps and ceramic drivers are not a good match ( too dry),. The best sound was from the Luxman pu... | |
| Turntable on a $5k budget? I asked the same question a little over a year ago. I was mesmerized by my friend's vinyl playback system and ventured into this complicated world of vinyl. I was advised not to go too cheap as I would be itching to upgrade all too soon. I started... | |
| Esoteric Transports matched with different DA's I had an X01 with Audiologic DAC. Works great | |
| can a tube-o-phile be happy with ss? True tube guy can only be happy with glowing bottles. For the borderline believers, LAMMs, Pass XA.5 or Luxman brings a lot of tube like qualities. | |
| Pass XA 100.5 vs Lamm M1.2 These jokes are so bad that they are funny.Thanks for resussitating the thread. | |
| Eggleston Andra power requirements What does the Mc2301 add aside from more bass? (Comparing to two 275s)Thanks | |
| Which is the most tubelike solid state amp around Heard and owned some of the above mentioned amps. To date, the newer luxman class A amps sound the most like a tube amp to me. | |
| Nordost flat line cabels vs norse series I have tried BH, Heimdal, Frey, valhalla. It is highly dependent on the amp/speaker that is being used with. With some amps or speakers, there is little differences if at all. With others, there is noticeable improvement in going up the line. Sugg... | |
| Can excellent tubes transcend modest amps? Better tubes make a mediocre amp better but would go so far as transcending it. On the other hand, the are great amps made with so so tubes and still sound great. I would say great amp transcends modest tubes | |
| best loudspeakers for full Gryphon system Agree 100% with Tuboo. 15x15x9 would have significant bass issues with speakers with extended bass response. | |
| McIntosh MC275 / Audio Research VS-110 Owned both and prefer the mc275 for better bass control and lower noise. | |
| fine tuning speaker placement After a month, I finally got it to +/- 5db 20Hz to 16KHz. I also got a basic package from GIK.It had the most to do with where I was sitting.Many thanks for the help. | |
| fine tuning speaker placement By moving either the speakers into the room or the listening chair into the room, there will be a 10db suckout at 40-50Hz. However, the midrange and depth perception are better. If I move to speakers with 13 inch woofers, would that allow me to mo... | |
| What Cartridges to use with Triplanar IIV Tonearm? great with PC1 | |
| Avalon Indra vs. Magico V3 with Mc 275 ? Avalon and 275 would be a good match. I tried 275 & 2275 with Avalon Diamonds. They sound like a good SS amp but with slightly better midrange (stock tubes). |
