| Bookshelf Recommendations Trenner & Friedl ARTs are supposedly absolutely amazing, I have not yet heard.Stenheim 2's and Focal Sopra 1s are excellent. | |
| Focal Sopra 2 Ozzy,Talking tubes. Potentially KT88 or KT120s in push pull.60 watts just about does it for the Sopra 1s, though I'm sure they'd benefit from a touch more. I heard that minimum impedance is more important even than db sensitivity. How many watts d... | |
| Focal Sopra 2 Do any Focal Sopra 2 owners out there have thoughts as to whether 100 watts per channel would be sufficient for this speaker? It is fairly sensitive as it pertains to db level, but the minimum impedance dips down to about 3 ohms, which can be very... | |
| Cary CAD-120S MkII vs VAC Signature 200 iQ Firstnot, really looking for your thoughts on whether the purchase made sense...Alucard I have neither heard nor considered, will take a look. | |
| The Audio Gods are tough but fair-Have you had the "Curse of the 300B" ? I am a believer in the church of 300B.That said, I'm highly contemplating trading in my SETs for a push pull tube amp. I know full well I may go on to regret it...but I am at a place where I need more power 30-40% of the time, and I want to make t... | |

| Cary CAD-120S MkII vs VAC Signature 200 iQ I’ve just about settled on VAC. I hope to have my bass question solved when I go to axpona next week, where vac will have 3 or 4 rooms. I assume they extend low, but I have seen a couple of posts suggesting maybe not. Cary will be represented too ... | |
| Cary CAD-120S MkII vs VAC Signature 200 iQ Does the 200 iQ (and VAC in general) bring the goods in the bass department? | |
| Stenheim Speakers A new product:https://www.stenheim.com/infiniteMore realistic than their Statement, as far as top of the line reference speakers go. Hope to hear these at a show. | |
| Antennas for FM Tuners in Urban Setting Is ST2 omnidirectional or directional?Would a directional antenna mean choosing a direction and therefore getting great signal with certain channels while limiting the total number of channels I'll receive compared to omni?Unclear at the moment bu... | |
| How does length affect power cable sound quality? A 20ft cable would be fine right? | |
| C22 fully balanced? Maybe the LS28 is what I'll go with then, I have a message out to ARC to get confirmation that it's fully balanced... | |
| C22 fully balanced? And the Audio Research LS28?The only entry level fully balanced preamp I've come across so far is the Allnic L1500. | |
| C22 fully balanced? Thanks, I guess my follow up question is which Mc preamps are fully balanced. | |
| Phono Stage Recommendation $3000 I purchased an Allnic 1201 about a month ago. I cannot overstate how pleased I am. I am coming from a McIntosh solid state phono pre that was built into an integrated amp. So quite a jump in terms of technology. And, the difference in sound was no... |
