| Cullen Cable His digital cables are real winners IMO. I have his speaker cables, interconnects and power cords as well. Excellent performers. | |
| Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Speaker Cables I run the Townshend super tweeter with my Spatial X5s and I can fully vouch for the improved sonics with them. They did the same for my Revel F208s. Clearly, it is not just the high frequencies that are improved. | |
| Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs) LSA Voyager GAN 350 wpc class D is a kick ass amplifier. I have had multiple highly regarded class A amps and tube amps. Not yet heard other GAN class D amps.. | |
| Maggie 1.7i's lack detail. Ideas? I have a pair. The crossovers in them are made of cheap low quality parts. I had my crossovers rebuilt with high quality identical spec parts and they improved dramatically. Detail was quite good post mod. | |
| Are there speakers that disappear regardless of the recording? My Spatial X5s throw a wide and deep soundscape that does not localize to the speakers. Every recording ? Not sure but on most recordings that is what I hear. | |
| Does anyone have any experience with the LSA VT70? Thoughts, comparisons?? I have the tubed Audio GD preamp. Lovely sound. Stellar preamp IMO. I also have the Voyager GAN amp. Terrific amplifier that does have great clarity and a tubelike mid/high frequency presentation. I have PassLabs, JC1 monoblocks, Canary Tube... | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? I have this preamp well. It is a strong performer for very little money. It is not in play right now but, for sure, it is a helluva preamp. | |
| Zavfino @cd45123 I have Huffman Pharoah speaker cables. I have the Zavfino interconnects between my amp and preamp on this same system. | |
| Are you pairing Tube Preamp/Line Stage with Class D Power Amp? I run a modded class D LSA Voyager amp fed by the Sachs tube preamp. Sublime sound..... | |
| SPL Audio I have the SPL Elector SS preamp. In stock form, the sound is oof the hook good. Very fine detail, spatiality and clarity. It truly does sound tubelike. That is, a modern tube design. | |
| Totally overwhelmed (speakers under $5k) My modded Revel F208s are awesome. They are resting now in deference to my new Spatial X5s. I am certainly willing to part with those awesome sounding Revels. | |
| Zavfino Just got a pair of silver dart Graphene rca interconnects. They were inserted into my reference system between the Sachs tube preamp and the Voyager GAN 350 wpc class D amp. Sounded really good straight out of the box. There was a touch of grai... | |
| Spatial X5 speakers My Spatial X5s are stock though with an upgraded crossover. I just got Townshend supertweeters as well. I also use Loudspeaker purifiers that are sold on Audiogon though I had them upgraded and they are presently being shipped back to me. | |
| Spatial X5 speakers @char1 I had the SPL Elector preamp in my exercise room system. I listened to it in stock form. I did not unbox it for several months after it came in. Initially, I was going to sell it but changed my mind after it did not sell. I then hooked ... | |
| Spatial X5 speakers An addendum to my above post. You can drive the Spatial x5s with low powered amps but, in my system, the amp experimentation that I have done suggests to me that the X5s like high power. High sensitivity be damned, they sound better driven by a ... |
