| Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ? Wig, I will add everyone should bypass their speaker binding posts for better sound. Same goes for the amp’s binding posts. Lastly, don’t use any speaker cable spades or bananas if possible. This, as you are starting to learn, makes the music more... | |
| Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ? Thanks for getting back. Well then yes the Line Magnetic and LTA ZOTL 40 should work great for you. Two great choices. If you dont want to mess with tubes and all that goes with owning a tube amp, then Pass Labs makes some great amps that you coul... | |
| Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ? Great speakers. I own them also and have used several amps on them. Please let us know the type of music you listen to, the volume level, and your effective room size. I owned two different push/pull tube amps putting out 50 and 60 watts and they ... | |
| Considering switching from Audio Research to PrimaLuna, troube with VS115 amp Good posts Thom and you are most accurate and thoughtful in your posts.

I have to share the fact that Agon has placed two (x) marks against me because I shared my phone number with potential buyers of $7000 speakers. One more (x) and I... | |

| Tekton Double Impacts Thanks Al. I understand your comments and still question the ability of a 1 watt amp to scale large orchestral crescendos and the like. Many listeners do listen at weighted average db levels of 86-92db when off the leash. Peaks, clean peaks, would... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Al, what about dynamic headroom and the role it plays when listening to a particular style or type of music? Below is your explanation on how 1 watt can work with the DI speakers. However I see little mention of dynamic headroom in your comments b... | |
| Duelund DCA16GA Yes WE10 is still available on EBay. Great sounding wire for a steal of a price. | |
| Duelund cast Pio Hybrid Copper/Silver or Rs series with Silver Bypass PIO Why not use the silver bypass cap on the better Jupiter foil cap for the best possible combo? | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Craigl59 Mods performed to my Lyngdorf 2170, I installed an Audio Magic Pulse ZX and Mad Scientist Neo Kegs in the power supply. In addition, I upgraded the output caps to Jupiter replacing the Wima caps. I also used constrained layer damping mate... | |
