Circle Labs A200 Integrated amplifier review - It will appeal to both tube and SS lovers……
@hchilcoat How are you enjoying your separates? I know you haven't had a chance to compare to the Integrated but would be interested in your overall take so far of just the components in your system as compared to things you've listened to in the... 
Circle Labs A200 Integrated amplifier review - It will appeal to both tube and SS lovers……
Thanks again..All good points, I appreciate all the positive feedback and honest opinion on CL. Hard to buy audio equipment these days since it's getting harder and harder to listen to things with traveling. I am actually only about 6 hours from N... 
Circle Labs A200 Integrated amplifier review - It will appeal to both tube and SS lovers……
@whipsaw Thank you!    I didn't know it had a fan either, I am not a fan of fans in equipment either. 😃 I've looked at the inside at pictures online too and can't see it anywhere so thanks for pointing this out. That is concerning for me since I...

good thread, great review @grannyring    How are those who bought new A200s liking them? Would love to hear a report back to this thread.    @whipsaw you ended up with the A200 and the Amp 150 Gato is also one I am considering. How has your ti...

Boulder is dry.   
Simaudio Moon 700i v2
I'd love to hear how folks are liking the 700i now that it's been longer.   
Moon 700i vs 400M
Cripes why do you listen so loud. My ears hurt just thinking about it. Get some new speakers.   
Speakers choice with Octave v80se
@mawashi    Which amp did you end up with? Not clear on what the 211 tube is. Lampizator? I am about to upgrade into SabX and looking hard at the Octave V70 Class A or the 80 SE. As you know it's not an easy speaker to drive so I'd be interested... 
What is the best speaker cable for Wilson Sabrina X?
@daveyf   Nordost cables are a notoriously fast, accurate (albeit bright) cable. Wilson is a fast accurate speaker. Fast+Fast is not really a good combo for my listening ear anyway. I wouldn't choose Nordost for anything but the slowest or tube ... 
What is the best speaker cable for Wilson Sabrina X?
I can't believe all the Nordost recommendations, awful awful choice. I own Wilsons and wouldn't recommend those cables to my enemy on these speakers. Entirely too accurate.    Call Dave at Zenwave audio he's making some of the best cables next t... 
Can Any MSB Premier Dac Owners Chime In???
The Discrete is excellent, it could be all the dac anyone will ever need. I love mine..With that said I am moving up to the Premier. Not even sure why because the Discrete never leaves me wanting more. It's much more of a I can do it so I will thi... 
Wilson Audio Tunetot Loudspeakers Reviewed !
Wilson's are very sensitive the gear your hook up to them. They will reveal everything, for better or worse. I listened to these speakers yesterday, extensively, brought my Sugden integrated and it was a match made in heaven. I mean other worldly ... 
Would silver cables beat UP-OCC copper?
"I have built gear and cables using both and one fact remains.....there is no answer to your question that is the final truth for all. It depends on your gear, musical tastes (type of music), sound preference, system synergy and on and on..... I h... 
Best Server To Run Roon Core
@david_ten    Hi David, pretty much all aspects of the presentation improved. Everything just seems quieter, calmer, more musical. So all the things that come along with that in any given system will vary I suppose, for me it was not a small dif... 
Uptone EtherRegen or Gigafoil v4???
I had the Eno and Gigafoil on hand at the same time and auditioned both extensively..In my system it was no contest, the Gigafoil made a PROFOUND difference as opposed to the ENO's VERY subtle difference. I sent the ENO back and have the GF, still...
