| Whats the FATTEST sounding Tube amp to warm up Lean speakers? I've been to many shows and always very impressed with the Merlin's... I've heard them driven by Joule and Atmasphere and would not venture from those two brands based on what my ears told me.Good luck. | |
| Have opportunity to buy BHK 300's or Pass Labs 250.8 for my Thiel 3.7's- thoughts?? Pass Labs without hesitation. | |
| DAC's....Ayre versus PS Audio Still love my QB-9 too. | |
| Still looking for an amplifier upgrade- but with a new twist..... JC1's are my vote. | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) Aerial 20T V2 | |
| Spotify vs. Apple Music vs. Google Play vs. Tidal: Which is Best Tidal by a wide margin. | |
| Cary SPL-05 or VTL TL 5.5 II First of all, nice system. Secondly, I don't think you could go wrong with either of the tube preamps you're considering.I owned the SLP-05 and it is a very special preamp IMO. I've spent time with the VTL and it too is very good. This is one o... | |

| Emotiva DV50s I think you mean Esoteric DV-50s, and I had a new drive put in mine not that long ago so I would think it's still a serviceable item. Still a killer value in disc playback. | |
| PS Audio or Ayre? I vote Ayre. I like their upgrade program over planned obsolescence, YMMV. | |
| Is pre-amp getting killed? @karurravi I don't have a lot of experience with Dynaudio but I have been to the Cary Audio facility since it's local and they used large Dynaudio towers to demo which was outstanding. They were using the SLP-05 preamp, which I have owned and was... | |
| Is pre-amp getting killed? I've yet to hear a combo DAC/Pre that compares to a quality separate DAC/Pre and I've heard a lot of the highly rated ones. | |
| Upgrade from Pass Labs XA30.8 to X250.8. Worth it? I've tried several conditioners on my amplifiers and always preferred them without. I use dedicated 20A circuits to my JC1's. | |
