| Need A 10-30 watt Tube Power Amp, Lower Heat Output, Which Sounds Great, Under $1500 Used Music Reference RM-10 if you can find one. If not look for an EL-84 based amp. | |
| LAIV Harmony I received my Harmony on July 22nd and it has been playing music continuously 24/7 since then and just crossed over 300 hours. I also own a May KTE, a Spring 3 KTE, an Aqua La Voce S3 and a modified Directstream DAC. It is being fed by an Aura... | |
| LAIV Harmony Or he just decided he would get more clicks by posting a different opinion. | |
| Eversolo DMP-A8 volume control Put the A8 on fixed output and control the volume with the Accuphase. | |
| Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile jc51373 If I remember correctly what he told me when he made the direct comparison late last year, he felt the tweeter integration was superior to the Abscisse and the bass was slightly less but not dramatically so. Perfectly understandable with ... | |
| Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile That seating distance should certainly work as it’s just a little under what using Jim Smith’s formula would get you and the 8’ will also be fine and depending on your room a little closer could turn out better or worse. The current equipment cert... | |
| Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile @jc51373 I wouldn't characterize the AMT tweeters in the models above the Cantabile as bright per se like I would the Be tweeters. They are very extended but without the hint of natural warmth the silk domes impart. This just requires careful ma... | |
| Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile Based on my experiences with six pairs of Reynaud speakers, currently Bliss Jubilee and Abscisse Jubilee, Reynaud's don't do "chubbier" bass at any level. They will do more with the Abscisse, Voce Grande and the two Orfeo versions but it it still ... | |
| Revelation audio labs I ordered two Supratek umbilical cables from Brad roughly two years apart. Both cables were delivered to me inside of ten days. Never a problem with delivery or communication in my dealings with Brad. | |

| A power distributor / conditioner standing upright (like Shunyata Everest) @koenvingerhoets I stood mine on the face with the connections on the top. It was behind the rack out of sight. | |
| A power distributor / conditioner standing upright (like Shunyata Everest) You can easily stand the Puritan PSM 156 on it's face. They even make a stand to do it with but I haven't found it necessary on a level floor. | |
| PREAMPLIFIER UPGRADE QUESTION The Rhumba 1.4 is $5000 so under the OP's budget. I expect it is upgradeable in the future if needed or wanted. | |
| Supratek Owners Thread @tubes4good My Cabernet from the same time frame shipped with Tung Sol's but I have also used JJ's and hear no difference between them or with the NOS Russian ones that shipped with my Chardonnay in 2019. So my advice is just pick one of the ne... | |
| Anyone hear the Van Alstine CA1 Control Amplifier or NP1 amp demoed? @norust From reading that thread on AC it appears Frank's not interested in making or selling the amp model you were actually interested in anymore. If that's the case they should just take it off of the website. |
