| Conrad Johnson--does anyone use this brand anymore? Yes indeed. It just sounds right! | |
| Duelund DCA16GA Let us all know what you think Wig. $60 set of DIY built Duelund 16ga ICs. Well at worst the price is right. At best they may totally surprise you. | |
| Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ? wlutke, You do have many good choices in front of you. I suggest actually listening to a couple in your system before buying. Some of the amps I mentioned can be tried in your home and kepted or returned. Nice option for sure.The Lyngdorf is one... | |
| Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ? Charles, for some reason you are narrowing my comments down to a particular brand? Devialet? Your missing the point it seems even though I have tried to be clear. I suppose this happens often on threads like this. Hard to fully express some thing... | |
| “Invest” in Tekton? I must say I have emailed and spoke to a couple of longtime Agon members who have owned some of the best gear available and know what is hype vs. the real deal. Kenny, the previous poster is one such Agon gem. Each one loves the DI and praises it... | |
| Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ? Understand fully stfoth. I really do. I will always have "some" tube amp in my home as I am in love the design and building of these pieces. | |
| Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ? Let's build this unit Charles. A DHT 300b tube output amp with SOTA room correction and built in dac. We can address further noise reduction with a cutting edge hybrid pre and amp section. | |
| Duelund DCA16GA Ha! I have built many sets. Sold a few sets also. Great IC wire. I don't use ICs anymore however. I can send you a 40 inch set to try using the 16ga wire. Let me know. I have an extra set that will need a little more break in. | |
| Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ? Charles, my noise comment goes for all other system combinations I have experienced ranging from all tube to all SS and a mix of the two. Noise is a result of many things beyond a tube. I am not saying, did not say, the Lyngdorf is the latest and ... | |
| Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ? For the OP. The Lyngdorf 2170 I own with my Crescendo speakers does not sound like a 50 watt PP tube amp, or 845, or 805 amp. There are tradeoffs. There are two main benifits this unit brings to your system. First, It removes noise you had no idea... | |
| Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ? Kenny you just wrote exactly what I am thinking and chose not to share🙂One box solutions without all the ICs, power cords, digital cables, longer signal paths, additional noise and complexity are indeed the future. No doubt about it. What is comin... | |
| Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ? Charles, I am confident Wig’s system scales both ends of the db spectrum to his satisfaction. It does as I have spoken and emailed him directly. I am saying one needs to know what one wants in a system, understand the limitations of a given system... | |
| Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ? I do not listen at 90db as that is simply too loud for me most of the time, I do listen at levels over 73-78 db at times for sure. I think many aphiles do. We would all be surprised at how loudly we play our music at times. I find the better a sys... | |
| Devialet for Wilson Audio Sasha 2 Speakers Yes indeed dealers can post and just let us know you are a dealer. Each of us can decide if these dealer posts are credible or not. | |
| Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ? Thanks Wig. Very modest listening levels for sure. I am going to listen to Julian today. |
