| Belles Greatest Integrated ever! The Virtuoso Gorgeous and all gear should have meters! | |
| Article about us Audiophiles: 'Audiophilia Forever' A well written column as I would expect from the New Yorker thank you @david_ten for sharing it. My only complaint is his total dismissal of Redbook CD which as most of us know has improved immeasurably. Outside the purview of the article so not a... | |
| Picking a Tube integrated amp @crwindy I've heard the Synthesis integrated with the built in DAC twice its a fantastic sounding integrated and a very good value for what you get. My local dealer Deja Vu Audio imports Synthesis I heard it in one of their rooms driving a pair of... | |
| Usability Issues with Tidal Browsing the DAC listing this looks like a very good deal for $1500 from a company on the cutting edge of digital Chord, no affiliation with the seller.https://www.audiogon.com/listings/da-converters-2018-01-05-digital-183a4592-7636-46c0-bebb-c973... | |
| Usability Issues with Tidal I have not heard the Cambridge but what's your overall budget for a DAC? | |
| Usability Issues with Tidal I guess the pertinent question is what cd player do you have? And are you using the analog outputs of the Node2? To really get the best sound you should invest in a good DAC you will be stunned at the improvement you get. | |
| Jadis DA60 with Separate Preamp @trelja Thanks I love my amp and I've listened to a 45 pp amp from them it was fantastic but I thought a bit too detailed for my setup at the time. I went with the EL34 because it sounds good and it's cheap to retube. Sounds like you have quite th... | |
| HPM 150’s Still Relevant? If you like the speaker why change? A quick google search tells me this is quite a highly though of vintage speaker. http://www.vintage-speaker-review.com/2012/05/pioneer-hpm-150-hpm-1500-speaker-review.htmlIt certainly wouldn't hurt to compare th... | |
| Jadis DA60 with Separate Preamp Big KT-77 fan here the current reproduction Genalex Gold Lions are outstanding sounding tubes. Beat JJ 6ca7 fat bottles, PSvane Phillips Replicas, Svetlana, Tung Sol reproductions and a few more. Never tried the JJ EL34L and obviously my amp, a cu... | |
| mono block or bi-amps which would you pick? You do not need 100-250 watts to drive those speakers! The whole point of horns and high efficiency is to allow you to use better lower powered amps. I would be far less concerned about monoblocks versus bi-amping and more concerned with finding t... | |
| Looking for speaker recommendations that I can purchase on Amazon.com How about Klipsch?https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NCI3RLT/ref=psdc_3236453011_t3_B000PT94V2https://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-Forte-III-Heritage-Loudspeakers/dp/B074WCH7KF/ref=sr_1_103?s=aht&...Full range, easy to drive and classic. | |
| EL34 equivalent tube types The Genalex Gold Lion reproduction KT-77 is in my opinion, and many others, the best EL34 variant currently available. They are night and day better than anything else I have tried. | |
| Harbeth M30.1+Luxman LX-380 & Audio Note AN-E/SPe Oto SE Sig irish cool I've heard great things about JM Reynaud but never heard a pair. Sounds like you're in for a nice upgrade both amp and speakerwise! Cheers,Jon | |
| Advice please on up to $10k to upgrade pre amp, dac, phono, and power amp I went ahead and read a bit about your speakers, they sound like they are not especially hard to drive. In the Absolute Sound review they mention driving your speakers with an Air Tight ATM-1S a really nice tube amp from Japan. I owned the prior m... |
