Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW!
Straight out of the box cold, I agree wholeheartedly with "WOW".  Space, a more forward presentation, greater tonality and more presence.  So easy to hear this pleasing sonic change.  This Uber cheap filter had the same impact in my system as the ... 
Warm, yet detailed tube preamp
I have the Aric Motherlode top end preamp.  Also have the Audio GD 10 tube preamp as well in one of my ancillary two channel systems.  I second the endorsement of both.  Aric Audio is a USA small business.  Audio GD is Chinese made and imported by... 
Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW!
Well, thanks to Ozzy, my order is in!  Another damn tweak...  
Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw?
I am tempted to pick up a pair Caldans.  I dealt with Clayton previously when I purchased a pair of Spatial X5s.  He is a first rate guy.  My suspicion is that any communication lapses have zero to do with any shady intent.  Just gotta figure out ... 
Space Tech Lab super rectifier
Not sure what the issue with this excellent product is?  I have the model just below the top of the line model and I can unequivocally state that this device works superbly rendering a wider deeper soundstage, greater air and just more dynamic rea... 
Fuse for Parasound JC 1 monoblock
@glennewdick but think of those enhanced sonics you would end up with???  
Solid state amp vs tube amps
There are differences that are more easily detected, as stated above, the more resolving your system is.  In your system u have to figure out which general amplifier type u like better.  Complicating matters is that within an amplifier type there ... 
Would the 300W CJ ART 300 Monoblocks be too much for my Avalon Ascendants?
Two amps that I recently purchased are stellar.  The PSAudio BHK 300 hybrid monoblcks and the Atma-Sphere 100 wpc class d monoblocks.  Just in case u are open to suggestions....  
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
@cymivka I debated between Atma- Sphere and AGD monoblocks for my second amp purchase.  Talked to both designers.  I settled on the Atma-Sphere so I have never heard the AGDs.  I do have a LSA Voyager Gan modded amp that sounds really nice.  The A... 
Excellent Solid State or Hybrid Monoblocks Recommendations
@joey54 I know of them but have never heard them.  I am overrun with superb monoblocks right now - PSAudio Signature 300s, Atma-Sphere class ds, and heavily modded Parasound JC1 monoblocks.  I will put them on my seek and listen list for sure.  
Excellent Solid State or Hybrid Monoblocks Recommendations
@tweak1 sorry to hear about your Voyager GAN mishap. These amps show up for a little over a grand on this site. Ric modded mine. It is not the best amp that I have for sure. However, the are really good and, for the money, is a great little amp. ... 
Excellent Solid State or Hybrid Monoblocks Recommendations
Well, the Atma-Sphere 100 wpc class D monoblocks are very fine amplifiers. In listening to them I cannot identify anything in its sonic signature that screams class D. I have been surprised that the class D monoblocks seem to power my Aerial Acous... 
Aragon Amps any good for Planars?
Twenty four year old post actually....  
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
@kykat I am using a top end Aric Audio Motherlode preamp and Aerial Acoustic 7T speakers that were essentially gutted and rebuilt  by Doug Jesse at ASi Teknology.  I also use a Space _Tech Super Rectifier via an umbilical cord to my preamp.  
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
@pstores i just unboxed and hooked up my Atma-Sphere monoblocks this morning.  Cold and straight out of the box i was very impressed.  They sound very clean, pristine, neutral and very natural sounding.  I am letting the play all day streaming Qob...
