| Bardo and 10.5 vs Stabi S and 4point 9 Gallus, did you test the Bardo? | |
| Advice for killer desktop speakers https://www.trenner-friedl.com/index.php?menu=product&sprache=en&second=sunI can personally vouch for audioengines. Can't believe how much sound comes out of them. | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? I listened to horn speakers for the first time recently, Trenner & Friedl RAs powered by Shindo. It's either my first or second favorite setup I've ever heard, and I've heard all the big brands. | |
| Clearaudio Universal- anyone heard?? bump | |
| Who makes the highest quality tube amps? I would imagine Allnic must be up there. Especially with the DHT lineup.Also their top of the line push pull amp can switch between 200 watts of pentode and 90 watts of "set-like" triode. Currently the amp I have my eyes on. | |
| FR66s vs Ikeda IT-407 CR tonearms Ikeda it 407 has an effective mass of 35-40g, the 345 a little less maybe 30-35g. That comes from the source. | |
| Bardo and 10.5 vs Stabi S and 4point 9 Sksos1At 13g the Kuzma 9 isn't really high mass at all, is it? The other arm I had my eye on is the Ikeda, at 35g, that's high mass... Right now I have a Benz cartridge that sits at 8.8g and 15 compliance, dropping that into the calculator results... | |

They were powered by a 300wpc McIntosh MA8000.Never once had any type of reliability issue with them. I found their strength to be vocals, courtesy of Focal's beryllium tweeters, and a... | |
| Allnic 1201 and Herron VTPH-2 ^That's great to hear. I'm sold. | |
| Allnic 1201 and Herron VTPH-2 Thanks Al. I've been reading everything there is on the forum about the Herron, which is quite a damn lot. Lol... And for all the praise, your thoughts on low end roll off was the last thing I wanted to hear, as a full fledged bass junkie. I have ... | |
| If cost was no factor, what system would you build as your main audio system? Speakers: Stenheim Reference StatementAmplifiers: Conrad Johnson ART 300s (though I bet the ARC 750 watt tube amps are beasts)Preamp: Conrad Johnson GATCables: LS-4004 AirDAC: Brinkmann NyquistTurntable: The Onedof is gorgeous, but not entirely su... | |
| Allnic 1201 and Herron VTPH-2 I'm debating between these exact two right now. I like in particular that the Allnic provides for gain variability, this really seems like a great feature. I don't really know whether I'd prefer 64db or 69db (with respect to the Herron)...maybe I'... | |
| Nationalism in Audio Products? I'm similarly surprised by the lack of Holborne on here...or anywhere at all on the internet! Just purchased their cartridge after a nice listening session. Excited to have it installed in a couple weeks. |
