| 845 or 300b with Agalme? Too sad. If you could have a nice matching wood chassis made I bet it would be pretty easy to get the amp going again. I doubt the internals are damaged much or beyond repair. As long as the iron is good the amp can live again | |
| 845 or 300b with Agalme? @52tiger The Monaco amp is very good and only time with the other amps mentioned, in your system, will determine if they are more engaging and enjoyable to you. This passion is so very subjective. | |
| Wolf Von Langa SON (TAS 2022 PofY) and Gestalt Audio - my experience & review The TRL Dude! Oh yes what an awesome preamp. I know it like the back of my hand having built several and modified many. Big sound making many other preamps sound rather puny. Paul the designer is so missed. His designs are special. | |
| 845 or 300b with Agalme? Both offer sonics at a much higher level than the Monaco. They cost a lot more however 😕. The Tron is several levels higher with the right speaker. You have the right speaker. However, if you like a fleshy, muscular sound with gobs of body, the N... | |
| Wolf Von Langa SON (TAS 2022 PofY) and Gestalt Audio - my experience & review @wvl That is the essence of being fully engaged in your music. A system that touches your emotions is pure heaven! Good for you sir. | |
| Wolf Von Langa SON (TAS 2022 PofY) and Gestalt Audio - my experience & review @hchilcoat Glad you are enjoying your system so much. I listened to the WVL Sons again with the NAF 211 SE and NAF preamp. Colin played some records on his killer turntable with this system and I was transfixed. Great combo indeed. Some of the... | |
| 845 or 300b with Agalme? Thoress gear is built all part to part wired like a work of art. I repaired a Thoress preamp/phono and was impressed with the build (shipping damage). Old school in the very best sort of way. I also heard the Horning Aristotle with the Tron 300b ... | |
| 845 or 300b with Agalme? @52tiger First off, your speakers are magnificent! I heard the smaller Horning Aristotle with the New Audio Frontiers Ultimate 211 SE amplifier and it was a religious experience for me. The combo was magnificent. I also heard the Wolf Von Langa ... | |
| Innuos 2.3.0 update - USB latency mode change Nice work @nomorelandings ! What do you think of the sound quality? About the same or any changes? | |
| Innuos 2.3.0 update - USB latency mode change Interesting. No issues yet on my Zenith 3. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? I would start with the Zenith first. Good to see what this one move does on its own. SR fuse direction runs S To R when looking at the label. Here are the instructions on fuse placement from the Innuos site: https://innuos.com/kb/replacing-the-fu... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Yes, the Purple fuse elevates the Zenith another level. It actually stopped me from considering the Grimm which I find very intriguing. The sonic gains were large and quite shocking. Music sounds less audiophile and more natural/real. A small bit ... | |
| Innuos 2.3.0 update - USB latency mode change Thanks for the heads up! The sound quality seems very good with the update. I need more time, but initial impression is very good sonics. I will try both settings and use low if it sounds better. | |
| What speakers have you mistakenly let go and then later repurchased? I really liked the sound of the VSM with Cardas cables and Joule tube gear. Great imaging, detail and so enjoyable. They sounded like high quality monitor speakers in the way they could disappear. However, they can sound a little thin with the wro... | |
| Iris DeMent, past and present. Yes indeed. I listen to Iris, but my wife does not enjoy her voice at all. Love her music and voice! I also like Rickie Lee Jones and once again my wife has a hard time listening to her. Acquired taste seems accurate. |
