| Speaker size and room interaction I have the REL 328. TMR and REL themselves advised I get another one of the same make *even over another REL.* Then, there are folks here. This is the hobby-of-directly-contrary-advice and the you-gotta-just-try-it. A minefield for expensive mista... | |
| Integrated streaming amplifiers under $3000 Good suggestions here. Some describe the Hegel as "cold" but your speakers sound warm, so perhaps not an issue. You might consider Atoll: https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/atoll-electronique-in400se-integrated-amplifier/Perhaps Vincent, to... | |
| Speaker size and room interaction I'll be curious how you deal with sub-to-sub interference, etc. I would like to get another sub, but I've heard (a) that it should be identical and (b) that one can create additional problems by having them interact. | |
| yet another tube preamp recommendation thread as for the 'studebaker' comment, i would say that is ignorant and demeaning for no good reasonSometimes when I see a comment like that, I go look at other comments to see if there's a pattern. Can be quite revealing. | |

| Cambridge CXC: Help finding a small, programmable remote? @tobaccoleafpie please, please let me know! Thanks so much! | |
| Best Location for Best Cable How long until the phrase "everything matters" enters this discussion to dampen the useful advice above? 3, 2, 1...But seriously, a good question and all I've heard in addition to the above is that the preamp to amp connection does matter a lot, t... | |
| Adding a SS amp as a 2nd amp for my tube rig has been a plus @buellrider Mike, yes, budget is important. This Atoll was about 50% of retail and only 1 year old. I was surfing for Parasound A23+ recently, and saw one of those for about $900. That would be a sweet amp, too. Given your Zu's you might even do b... | |
| I bought another Class D amp and didn't get what I paid for! OP, great post and you did the right thing. From a strictly hedonistic standpoint, it sounds like it would have detracted from your enjoyment to listen to an amp you knew you got under cloudy pretenses. It would be a not too bad rationalization t... | |
| Bluesound installed DAC - music killer? I have Node 2i and after about a month with it, I connected it with a good Analysis Plus coaxial interconnect to the MHDT Orchid tube DAC. It’s sounding great, now. I rolled the stock tube in the Orchid and it sounds even better. I have no impulse... | |
| Leave tube amps always on? @rtorchia Glad you found something you like better. If you like the sound and looks better, that's good enough reason to change. But if the only reason you got rid of your system was because it was hot and awkward, it's clear (a) you could have ju... | |
| Adding a SS amp as a 2nd amp for my tube rig has been a plus Not sure if you're addressing me, Mike. It's an Atoll integrated, 120 wpc | |
| Leave tube amps always on? This roundtable is entering the "How many angels can dance on the head of a pin" phase. | |
| When to Poweroff amps and preamps I'm learning from this post, so will just add to @brownsf question:If solid state gear is left on, is it best to disengage the speakers (either with a speaker switch button or with a mute button)? If there's an electrical hiccup (not a storm) it m... | |
| Thanks Audiogon ! Agreed with OP and Tvad -- but would note that Agon apologized as well. Apology plus compensation doesn't change the past, but seems to be a pretty good faith effort. |
