| Tubed Monos for Focal Aria 948s To the extent this is helpful - I used 60 watt per channel Allnic 300B XLS amps to power Focal Sopra 1s, and it worked like a dream, more bass than I ever would have imagined. I could play it loud. However, I never cranked it alllll the way.I curr... | |
| Speaker recommendation for SET tube amp MASTERSOUND I would get the Trenner & Friedl RA's if you can swing the price. | |
| What is the most FUN pair of speakers you've ever had and why? Probably my first pair of speakers, B&W 603 | |
| EMT and SoundSmith Thank you one and all for the feedback. Still undecided but am leaning towards SoundSmith due to the rebuild retipping service. That's a real money saver over the long term. In effect the cart will last for as long as you want it.What I liked abou... | |
| Simaudio 810lp vs. Brinkmann Edison phono stage @rauliruegas Thanks I can't wait for it to come in. | |
| Simaudio 810lp vs. Brinkmann Edison phono stage Raul, Interesting take. I find Brinkmann to generally be incredibly well built and engineered, the turntables particularly so, and it caught my attention that Brinkmann himself refers to the Edison as his "definitive statement to the analog art", ... | |
| Simaudio 810lp vs. Brinkmann Edison phono stage Does anyone have experience with the Edison they can share? | |

| Nyquist I or II, anybosy have one ? I love mine. Cannot recommend highly enough, frankly. My preference generally is for tubes and analog, and I find the Nyquist fits into my system, and that framework, splendidly. I do not know that I would find another DAC that better suits me. Th... | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k For what it's worth, I agree with ishkabibil above -- I would upgrade your speakers before your amps. | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k I am not sure the price of the FM Acoustics FM 411-MKIII, but if it is within your range I would get that and be done with it. It is 160 wpc.Alternatively, based on your specs I would get the Soulution 511 Stereo Amp, at 150 wpc and $32,000 (I'm c... |
