Anyone heard the new ARC LS28 SE?
AGD is wonderful gear...I have the Audions coming tomorrow to listen to. I will report in one of those threads.  RE: this preamp, LS28se, I am thinking any limitations I am hearing could be related to break in since it has less than 100 hours on ... 
Anyone heard the new ARC LS28 SE?
@soix room is like a rectangle, about 18x11 with a dormered area where I sit on one of the long walls, system sits opposite on the other long wall. 9 foot ceilings, it’s an upstairs office area. Amp is the Sugden FBA-800 Sapphire amp, pure Class A... 
Anyone heard the new ARC LS28 SE?
Listening to the LS28se right now in my own system on demo. It's very good, truthful, transparent, somewhat textured, tighter bass with tilt more towards the upper to mid frequencies, but not bright or harsh. Possibly walking the line of dry to a ... 
McIntosh c2700 users please chime in?
@stereo5    Enjoy your over priced midfi.  
McIntosh c2700 users please chime in?
@stereo5   McFANboy, I just want to know how you know I have wax in my ears. I'm thanking you profusely.   
McIntosh c2700 users please chime in?
The real question isn't whether you can get a discount...It's why anyone would buy well-branded mid fi McIntosh gear in the first place. Other than the build quality and looks it all sounds like syrup mid fi gear.    Much better gear for the sam... 
New Generation Class D - AGD Audion Mkiii upgrade
I have the AGD preamp in my home right now running it on my existing Class A amplifier. All I can say is it's simply superb in almost every way. I could stop right here and be perfectly satisfied but alas I am going to listen to the Audions courte... 
Impressions of AGD the Audion MKII Mono Amps
@twoleftears    Have you tried your Tempo with the AGD pre? It's an incredible preamp as well.   
After 50 years, I have finally found my destination amps... AGD Audions!
@mglik   Do you still have your Audions?   
LTA microZOTL or Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme 1.3?
@soix  Not gonna go round and round with you in this and argue what I say or you say is fact, anything on a forum is an opinion. You like LTA (I do too) all the power to you...And me.   
LTA microZOTL or Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme 1.3?
@soix    Well for starters I've heard LTA...But mainly because of Backerts approach to the power supply which is everything in hifi.   
LTA microZOTL or Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme 1.3?
@panerai557 15db is still alot of gain, depending on the amp and 30 is ton of gain. Most Preamps are 11-12 max.    Personally I think the Backert is the better design over the LTA, should have sprung for that.   
Duelund Tinned Copper Speaker Cables
@williewonka Bryston is overall bright gear, it’s not the cables it’s the Integrated.  
Circle Labs A200 Integrated amplifier review - It will appeal to both tube and SS lovers……
I am sure Circle Labs is great gear,  given the experiences I have had with the dealer who used to distribute them I am not the least bit surprised there was a falling out. I’ve been in hifi for longer than I care to share, certainly longer than t... 
Innuos PULSE Mini?
Demoing one right now in my home now as a digital front end alternate to my Turntable. My analog rig in total is $10k + in cost, (rega p10 and Umami Red) and while it does some different things digital just can not replicate, this little Pulse is ...
