| Should I steer clear of class D amps I had some old class D amps and never stuck with them. The LSA Voyager GAN 359 wpc that I had modded sounded nothing like my old class D amps. It was light years better. I have Pass Labs X250.5 and X150.5 amps, Parasound JC1 monblocks and Ampzi... | |
| Question about wpc on tube amps My Canary monoblocks set to deliver about 95 wpc drove my Maggie 1.7s superbly. I know the pervasive mindset is that Maggie's love power/current. However, in my experience my tube amp did a great job on them | |

| Review on AricAudio Motherlode MKII preamplifier So with about 50 hours of playtime the MLII has erased any of the previously mentioned shortcomings. The low end and midbass have filled in nicely, the clarity has even ratcheted up a notch, tone colors are in full bloom and there is zero edge to... | |
| Review on AricAudio Motherlode MKII preamplifier So I hooked up my newly arrived MotherLode II last evening and listened a bit. Then I let it play overnight and listened a bit this morning before going to work. My first impressions are overwhelmingly positive. This is a very special preamp. ... | |

| Review on AricAudio Motherlode MKII preamplifier My motherlode has been shipped and will arrive on Thursday. It will be inserted into my reference system within an hour of arrival at my address. More to come. | |

| The problem with PLC Audiogon is fairly good at providing a highly visible platform for high performing under the radar audio equipment. That alone will help the success of the perfect speaker company as long as it sounds good. If it measures good but sounds sucky the... | |
| The new LSA Signature 50 Monitor "Disruptive Product" I agree that Walter's website could be better. However, I can find what I need on it and he always returns calls. He has given me lots of advice over the years and I think that our ears are similar. I get that someone may not like one or more o... | |
| Review on AricAudio Motherlode MKII preamplifier @rocray I hope that I love it! @laaudionut I have been listening to my system and it sounds great. But like a true audiophile or audiophool, I am chasing even better sonics. Go figure. | |
| Review on AricAudio Motherlode MKII preamplifier The XL is fully balanced. I did not need that as my Zavfino interconnects are RCA. The upgraded caps are supposed to provide a blacker background for sure. | |
| Review on AricAudio Motherlode MKII preamplifier Just ordered the Motherlode II preamp with upgraded caps. It'll be a few weeks before it arrives, however, I am itching to hear it. Lord knows I do not need another preamp - yet, I could not resist another one to drop in my rotation. |
