| Best High Current amplifiers stable into low impedances I have often thought Pass Labs XA series would be a great amp to drive a 2 Ohm load, but they don’t publish any specs into a 2 Ohm load. I was ready to jump on a pr of XA 160.8 but was unsure they would drive my Focal Maestro speakers. The Focal’s... | |
| Magico M9 The new 'norm' in speakers The NA sayers will always follow their ideology that is based two things: they either don’t have the ability to hear the difference between a $1000. vs $750,000. speaker or they know they never will be able to afford it so to ease their pain they ... | |
| How about Mac and Accuphase Brands like Accuphase and others imported into the states are over priced due to their markup by distributors. Luxman on the other hand established headquarters (Luxman North America) here in the states and cut out the middle man. This allowed the... | |
| Luxman M 10x Just received mine a few weeks ago. I owned the M900u, Rowland 625s2, and Mcintosh MC611 amplifiers all in the past 2 years. The M-10x is by far the best amp I’ve owned and significantly better than any of the previous amplifiers I have mentioned... | |

| Schiit Freya + Class A in Stereophile I think their rating system should have a class A low, medium and high high rating. This should be for all A,B,C,D. Clearly this preamp doesn’t have to build quality or reach the level of class A $10,000-100,000. Sonically. What this reviewer hear... | |
| Sad to say I need a new amp… @wb27 Maybe it’s a supply shortage the reason for 6-8 week wait on a new amp. Give belles a call. | |
| Reasons not to freak out about tube supplies If your worried about tube supplies buy extra sets and stop worrying about your next tube failure and enjoy your equipment! | |
| Are Quicksilver power tube amps in the same league as VAC, VTL, BAT, ARC, ...? The answer is no if value your resale investment. Audioresearch and VAC will hold their value much better than quicksilver. | |
| REVIEW: Silversmith Fidelium Speaker Cables A friend of mine let me try a pr. Here are my thoughts: good cables with some attributes that are up there with some of the better cables, but overall another attempt to un thrown more expensive cables at a affordable price. I took them out of my ... |
