| Ugliest Component of the Year 2024! It is amazing to me that people got paid real money to come up with these designs. On top of that, the designs most likely had to be approved by multiple people at these organizations. The wadax is the least offensive to me. Tectonic and McInto... | |
| Integrated Amplifier Recommendations Needed The hegel and parasound suggestions are spot on. I'd also consider the Michi X3. | |
| Upgrading my integrated amplifier for my Magnepan 1.7’s I agree with @pinwa , you need to stick with class A or AB. My 1.7s sound much better with a 1990's 150 wpc NAD class AB Amp than they did with newer 300 wpc amps. Hegel has a very good dac and high damping factor. I like the suggestions of lu... | |

| Hegel H120 or H190 From reading online it appears the digital section of the H120 and H190 are identical. I think basically it comes down to are u going to hear a difference with 75 wpc vs 150 wpc driving your speakers when listening at 80 dB ? I think you will he... | |
| Hegel H120 or H190 The H190 is overkill for the room - but if you ever plan to move the system to a larger space it would be the smarter purchase. Looking at a couple of sites - the used H190 sells for $600 to $1000 more than the H120. There are many more H190s av... | |
| All in One amp up to $7k I'd consider the Atoll SDA-300 (or 200). $5500 all in one. 150W, 2 toroidal transformers, dedicated power supplies for analogue stages as well as the dac. Discrete class A preamp circuitry. Burr brown dac I, personally, like the advice of a s... | |
| DarTzeel’s new direction I am not sure why he would pull all of his products from his website if he was actually coming out with a more affordable lineup. Why would u not offer both ? Doesn't add up. | |
| Help needed with new integrated amp. GR Research has a youtube video explaining what they found testing the LRSplus and the upgrade they made to it. I would start with that before investing in new hardware. If u still want hardware recs - a used NAD class a/b amp are fantastic soun... | |
| Subwoofer Advice I would use the Rhythmik F12 or F12SE which are servo-controlled to match the speed of the ML ESL's. | |
| High end bookshelf speakers for Small room Due to hurricane Ian in 2022, I had to move into a condo while rebuilding our home. I started with LS50 metas and they were so thin and lacking in bass. I moved on to Fyne F501-SPs which were much better than the Kefs. I then moved up to Fische... | |
| Relaxed/Analog sounding DAC for under $10k (used or new) Atoll Dac300 is a great sound per dollar option. Around 3 to 4K. Review https://www.tnt-audio.com/sorgenti/atoll_dac300_e.html | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response I would add Marten Oscar speakers to your list. They have ceramic drivers with extremely fast transients. They have videos on YouTube discussing why they selected ceramic as their chosen material. Their speakers are highly acclaimed. The sugge... | |
| Auditioning Used Equipment - Am I crazy ? @sokogear They are a dealer for the used piece I wanted to audition. I didn't know if I'd like like it which is why I wanted to audition it. I Sent a follow-up email asking if they had a new unit in the store that I could audition and I received... |
