bryston 28bsst2 / mag's 3.7 I'd love to read more from 28BSST2 owners. Please tell me what you love about the amps. | |

Lampizator DAC Congratulations Outlier. You will love it. I loved my Big 7 balanced with volume control, dsd and pcm out of the box. With some break in, Holy Cow! Even more amazing. I have never been so happy with a piece of audio gear. Enjoy! | |
Lampizator DAC Grant is that you? Great to hear from you again. Rob and Fred said we should get together sometime at the club meetings. I finally took the plunge and glad I did.Love my Lampi. Joe | |
Lampizator DAC I just received my Lampizator Big 7 balanced pcm/dsd DAC. Holy cow! It's awesome.http://audioshark.org/lampizator-186/Easily the best digital that I've heard. I have not heard the uber expensive gear nor care to but Lampizator is the real deal. | |
Clayton Audio Class A amps. Need amp advice There's no free lunch. Tubes and solid state will never sound the same. Class D has gotten so much better, but in my opinion suffers from sort of a one-note bottom (some are better than others). Plenty of bass in Class D but not as much articulati... | |
Hegel H4SE is mind blowing Thank you for sharing. I had an H30, loved it, sold it for something I thought was better, but realized I made a mistake. I am thinking about replacing it, but the H4SE has been on my mind for a long time. I need to check it out. | |
Prima Luna Premium Pre or Conrad Johnson ET3 SE I picked up a bunch of 6H23-EB's from Kevin last week. Thank you so much Kevin. They are awesome in my GAT. I also bought some KT-150's for my Jolida 3502. Can't wait to try them. Nothing but awesome service from Kevin and Upscale Audio. | |
ARC REF 5SE, CJ GAT or ? One more advantage for the GAT is that its output impedance is under 100 Ohms vs 600 Ohms for the Ref 5se. System matching is easier with the GAT. | |
ARC REF 5SE, CJ GAT or ? If you can live with the GAT's single ended RCA connections, I vote GAT. I've looked at and owned other preamps but have always been the happiest with my GAT. Great 3D and layering with an ever so slightly sweet top end with great width and height... | |
Which amp to buy? ARC GS150 or Reference 150 SE? Zd542,I need to think the preamp choice. I believe you are correct. A proper preamp match with the ARC is mandatory.Taters,Thank you. I think that's why I naturally gravitated to Conrad Johnson. I could almost use more sweetness/warmth than I am g... | |
Which amp to buy? ARC GS150 or Reference 150 SE? Hello Zd542,My speakers are Sonus Faber Strads and Harbeth 40.1's. My Strads are my primary speakers and I swap in the 40.1's for variety. A friend wants my 40.1's and will probably sell them when he's ready. Future replacement speakers are unknow... | |
Which amp to buy? ARC GS150 or Reference 150 SE? Thank you Zd542. I appreciate your opinion. | |
JC1 upgrade to Lamm M2.2 or dartzeel 108B or Ayre? My Pass Labs XA60.5's is amazing on the 40.1's and I am sure the new Point 8 Pass gear is too. BSC or Bully Sound, and I am sure any Class A gear will be amazing on the Harbeth speakers, as long as the heat will not get you. | |
JC1 upgrade to Lamm M2.2 or dartzeel 108B or Ayre? Ctsooner,Not to derail this thread, but at the right price, the H30 is a good deal. I am not crazy about the lower end Hegel gear, but that's me. I have not heard Lamm and JC-1's. I really should so I can comment on them.I usually prefer a softer/... |
