| Is Luxman a poor man's D'Agostino ? I did not like the new Burmester stereo amp I auditioned. It was too mechanical/bright for my tastes. The build quality is first class, the looks remind me of the older Pass Aleph amps with much more bling.I take what is said/opinioed on the l... | |
| What 50wpc or higher amps have a totally different sound from Pass Labs, in a good way? @redwoodaudio,Threshold gear tends to be leaner, analytical; reminds me of newer Burmester. Please note, I have never owned/heard the big threshold monoblocks. From what I gather, these are some of the best in the line.Respectfully, Jose | |
| Anything SS sounds better than D'Agostino ? Inna, I dont have the MBL 111F or the Vitus SIA-25 anymore. Im blessed to have the space to store my items (climate controlled and out of the way). I do have a modest and treated dedicated listening room. The guys from Coda are ex Threshold emp... | |
| Anything SS sounds better than D'Agostino ? Inna, a few more to consider;The Vitus SIA-25 is spectacular, assuming your speakers arent power hungry. I used the SIA-25 with a pair of MBL 111-F for a while. Coda products are HIGHLY underrated. I prefer full class A Coda amps; these are gia... | |
| Building new system starting with power amp. What would you choose ? Coda full class A amps are hard to beat. Again, depends on your speaker choice.Respectfully,Jose | |
| Anything SS sounds better than D'Agostino ? Inna, I enjoy listening to music and also take great joy in auditioning gear. Consequently, I collect (hoard) much gear. As has been stated before, synergy is key (everything). For example, I have a pair of fully rebuilt ML 33H, these amps pair... | |
| Rockport Atria II or Magico A5 One thing that is great about this hobby; are the many choices, in speakers or otherwise and all at different price points. I auditioned Magico and Rockport extensively. I also auditioned many Wilson models. The Rockport provide me the sound si... | |
| Rockport Atria II or Magico A5 Bob, I auditioned Magico and Rockport speakers, I dont recall which models.I preferred and purchased Rockport, the Cygnus to be exact.Take care,Jose | |
| Rockport Atria II or Magico A5 I auditioned both and bought the Rockport. Natural sound.Good luck in your search, Jose | |
| Speaker upgrade I auditioned those Rockport, very natural and good soundstage. The VR 55 are more detailed, not as natural sounding as the Rockport. Good luck,Jose | |
| What Audio Religion have you converted others to successfully? +1 @whart I have new gear and old gear that I rotate , enjoy it all the same. I put together a system for me and me only. I enjoy reading these threads, on occasion, I will make a suggestion. Never, ever, trying to convert, promote or convin... | |

| Photos of my system Good work Sir !!Enjoy in good health, Jose. | |
| My Mark Levinson preamp dying - looking for new preamp, sound as good, wont break bank Pyramid Audio in Austin Texas can rebuild it. They are certified and have extensive knowledge in all things ML.No affiliation, I'm only a satisfied customer. Good luck with what you decide, Jose | |
| New speakers. New room. +1 @twoleftears I have a pair of Altec Malibu; they sound sublime with class A amplification or Scott tube monoblocks!!I dig the center rug.Regards, Jose |
