| Esoteric and Yaqin Yes correct you will output the digital signal to your Esoteric it will not go through the analog stage of your Yaquin. | |
| Genuine Kondo??? I would say that first ad looks a tad dicey to me you can't really see the amps closeup in the pics. The second ad looks much better and is also on this site: https://www.audiogon.com/listings/da-converters-kondo-audio-note-japan-ksl-dac-euro-pr... | |
| 6922 Tubes! @mofimadness Thanks for that tip I bookmarked that page to try those out on my next retube, the price is right! | |
| 6922 Tubes! I had been having issues with noisy tubes in my preamp, mostly NOS Amperex, and was getting sick of shelling out big bucks for NOS tubes. Went with some JJ 6922 Gold Pins from The Tubestore, an extra $5 for balanced triodes made them $29.95 each.... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs. 518ia @roxy54 I totally agree with you and always agree with Charles lol, I find a good tube amp with a beefy power supply can drive far more speakers than people realize. My own speakers are either 89 or 90 db, I forget exactly, and I drive them specta... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs. 518ia @roxy54 Looked at the website that amp looks awesome congrats! I would be shocked if Line Magnetic can beat it, but as always the proof is in the listening. Have fun! | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs. 518ia @roxy54 what Audio Note amps are you running? Thinking my next pair of speakers will be from Audio Note. | |

| Line Magnetic 219ia vs. 518ia roxy54 thanks for a very straightforward and informative post that proves as always, you just gotta listen! And "the salesman was tired of lifting" love that!Cheers! | |
| Honing down the speaker shortlist ~$5K @krabbypantz trust me Audionote AN/E will crush your Snells and corner placement isn't mandatory. If you have a chance to give them a listen you should my next pair of speakers will be Audio Notes for sure. | |

| Honing down the speaker shortlist ~$5K What about an Audio Note AN/E? Great sounding speaker not sure what the new price is but they come up used in your price range from time to time. And the direct descendant of your current Snell E's. | |
| audio note m3 preamp @kedoades if it's a good deal I say go for it, it doesn't matter how old the design is, its the implementation that matters. I would take Audio Note over almost any other maker of gear in terms of amplification and hoping a pair of Audio Note spea... | |
