| For Innuos owners I was advised to keep all solid state gear on 24/7 except a Class A amp. DAC, Streamer, CD players all stay on unless you are worried about preserving tubes. | |
| Advice on Speaker upgrade vs System Component Upgrade The SF Amator Electa 3 or the Guarneri seem to be more logical in the smaller room. Franco Serblin makes a Standpoint too. Did you say what your digital side consists of? | |
| The Best Tweak? Here is my theory on appreciation of music. If a person is tense, irritable or just distracted their auditory senses are closed off to some degree. If a person is relaxed by alcohol or drugs his system opens up to take in the full range of... | |
| Audio Research amp repair in New Jersey/New York I noticed during the most recent Youtube video at AR Commissioner Gordon walked thru the expanded office in MN. Only one service tech on hand. There were two when I toured the facility 1 1/2 years back. If you are getting all bent out of shape... | |
| Can you have too much speaker presence? As I see it there is "Large Speaker" sound and "Small speaker" sound. The difference primarily being the chest impact a 15" speaker makes when it moves a higher volume of air than a 6" speaker can. I enjoy my 2 way speakers supplemented with su... | |
| Anybody have personal experience with a Troles Graveson Subs? OCD Mikey had used GR Research subs for sale. Check with him. | |
| Luxman L-509Z Integrated Amplifier Of course it is possible but the warranty may be voided. | |
| Conrad Johnson Classic 120se vs. Cary Audio Design CAD120 MKII? Blue T, With these last pieces of info about your setup I would go back to Conrad Johnson. I do not think any retailer will give you a free two week home trial. If unsure buy used and unload it if not happy. If you want to make a trek up t... | |
| Best Class D GaNFET Amp Comparison. Who to invite? Sadly the room I was told I could use at the PNW Audiofest ended up not being available. The event could still be held easily enough. I have access to Peachtree, Orchard, Mola Mola. People in the thread offered to bring all the others. However ... | |
| Amps for Joseph Audio Pulsar 2 Graphene's? I would inquire with Jeff Joseph for his opinion. This guy consistently has the best sound at shows so why not consult with someone with a proven track record? | |
| DAC Under $3000 Here is one I am eyeballing that fits the budget: Weiss 204 $2,900. Reviewers are gaga over this DAC du jour. Gotta get in line now though. The ANK 4.1x can be bought in kit form for $3k and assembled for $3.5k. It uses 4 tubes and an ... | |
| SET Lovers, what's the one solid state amp you love(d)? Best SS I have heard: JMF Audio -French, pricey. Only time I heard a Harbeth 40.2 sound good Pass Labs - Okay I own one. Built well. USA made. First Watt would also work Luxman- These amps make anything sound great. Aavik- Class D at its best. | |
| Conrad Johnson Classic 120se vs. Cary Audio Design CAD120 MKII? I owned the Cary 120 MKII for a couple years. Paired with an Audible Illusions Pre and older Tannoy FSMs the sound was warm and engaging. I thought I was done. When I had to take the Cary in for something-and there is always something with tub... | |
| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? There are dozens of great sounding speakers when paired with the right amp/dac etc. Some speakers almost everyone likes: Joseph is at the head of the line. Falcon LS3 Kef Ref 5 Borresen Mofi Fritz Carrera 7 BE ATC 50s Vimberg Clarysis ... | |
| How Do Amps Affect Soundstage? I finally heard an amp paired with the 40.2 that actually made me want to sit and listen. The JFM. Sadly they don't give them away. |
