| anyone pair the Kinki Studio EX-M1 amp with Ascend RAAL Towers? I've owned the M1+ since July but have only used it with a pair of Nola KO's and (2) Rythmik F12G's. Great integrated amp in my opinion especially considering the build quality and the price. In the past I have used the EX-M1 with Reynaud Abscis... | |
| Best bookshelf speaker? I'm with fuzztone if your budget goes to that point. Also look at Joseph Audio Pulsar and Reynaud Voce Grande which comes with integrated stands. | |
| Recommendation for a replacement speaker cable @simao My vote would be for the Audio Envy SP-9 at a little over $400. I have used the SP-7's for going on two years. The Audio Sensibility OCC cables are also another good option. | |
| Recommendation for a replacement speaker cable Length and budget? | |
| Spatial M3 Triode Master Preamp/amp choices If you are willing to get away from the tube idea a really great integrated amp that is a within your budget and goes well with the Spatial's is the newest version of the Kinki Studio EX-M1 at $2398 shipped. I've tried EL-84, EL-34 and KT-88 tube ... | |
| Original Nola Boxer Replacement, Maybe? You won't find anything under a $1000 that's all that close unless you get a great deal on used. | |
| Spatial M3 Triode Master Preamp/amp choices I have owned a pair for over three years and those specifications are really misleading as to what kind of power that really need for those speakers to shine. Now if you are just looking for background levels then those will be fine. | |
| Supratek or Don Sachs - which way to go? My Sachs has the 1.5 uF Polish caps so good down to 20 and the only amp I've ever owned that got close to that was the Odyssey Kismet at 22k. Haven't tried the Sachs with any of the amps in combination with the Fritz Carrera Be's which at 86 db w... | |
| Supratek or Don Sachs - which way to go? I actually own the latest versions of both the Sachs and the Chardonnay. For the most part their sound is very similar with the Sachs leaning a bit more to the neutral side and I have rolled six different sets of tubes through it with only slight... | |
| Audio envy - dang! It wouldn’t be grounded. If you tell Cap what your doing he will point you to the right cable. | |
| Is the Mytek Brooklyn Bridge or Lumin D2 good buys in 2021? As long as Lumin exists in the market then Peter and his team will continue to update the software and be available to assist with questions on multiple forums. Since their parent company is a big player in the digital tv market in the Far East t... | |
| Is the Mytek Brooklyn Bridge or Lumin D2 good buys in 2021? ErikThe D2 is the entry level combo product from one of the long time leaders in the streaming industry who developed and continues to update their product on a regular basis so at least you have software support with a no nonsense design and buil... | |
| Is the Mytek Brooklyn Bridge or Lumin D2 good buys in 2021? Why would Roon in anyway be the answer to his question. Do the Elac's have their own built in DAC? IF so you don't need either one but especially not the one running off of Mconnect as good luck with software support from Mytek. | |
| NAD M33 Initial Thoughts With only three days on a Class D amp of any type you've still got a very long way to go for it to break in plus it needs to be left on all the time. If you have the standard 30 day return window you really need to have it playing whenever you ca... | |
| Don Sachs DS2 vs Wells Audio Commander If you have to put your ear up against a speaker to hear tube noise then you don't have a problem. Dead silence in that situation equals SS and good SS at that. |
