| Revox Agora B Interesting find in the used market. after the spark did it still work, or did you unplug it and not try it again? reason i ask is that’s what happened to mine and it was the power socket solder joints, but that said it also could be a component like a capacitor, transistor etc. they... | |

| Help chosing an integated amp A late friend had these speakers with Prima Luna tube amps and wow they sounded glorious. I highly recommend you also consider tubes with them. Id really bet a hybrid with tubes in the front end and SS in the output would by wonderful with them a... | |
| Thoughts About Turntable Upgrades check out Acoustic Solid out of Germany. I moved to them after a VPI prime 21 and am very happy with the build quality and sound quality. also $3k less money (for the model i got), better built if i was honest as well. Acoustic Solid – Handmad... | |

| Aurender Conductor app reliability and user experience only complaints i have (A10) with it is the app losses connection and sometimes its hard to regain, specifically after your turn it on. having to search every time for the Aurender is a pain. Also having to use an apple tablet to operate it is a l... | |
| Lii Song/Audio Leoniidas lots of people have their drivers out there now. A friend has the 15" full range driver in some open baffles. they sound really good. | |
| So many YouTube clips to evaluate sound quality. Why??? I must be the only one that watches YouTube on my TV played through my main system and my DAC. sounds quite good to be honest and some reviewers take the time to record well. most of the stuff I see is 44khz on my DAC. its good if they compare t... | |
| Moving on a sailboat - bookshelf speakers? If its only a temp move I'd recommend used and specifically used A/D/S Speakers they had a few smaller sealed designs that are quite good and well under $1000 ( under $500 really) on the used market. like the L300, L410. As a long time hi end guy ... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV and Luxman Integrated you’re using 275’s in mono? talk about way over kill. you don’t need the power of one 275 let alone two in mono. I ran LaScalas, similar enough efficiency to the Cornwall, with 2.5 wpc with out issues. In my experience the new Cornwall’s sound fa... | |

| Aurender N10 connection with the network Just a note when i got my A10 it says in the manual that only an apple tablet will be able to set it up properly, the phone app will not let you set it up. Not even sure if your android phone can set it up let alone connect to it. | |
| Who are your favorite custom amp builders for low powered triode amps? Triode labs-Finale Audio out of Toronto makes some very nice amps for reasonable prices. I've owned three now over the years and can't recommend them fast enough for the efficient speaker groups. | |
| Best DAC for iPhone - Volvo Car Play Connection? there are many in-line DAC's out there that may work. Audioquest makes a selection, there are quite a few others out there now. You can find many reviews online usually in the head phone sections as most use them for headphone listening. |
