| Interconnect Either of those will work just fine I've not heard the Wireworld but they have a great rep and Kimber is to me reliably neutral. | |
| Guttenberg reviews Volti Razz I will just say one thing when it comes to designing and building speakers, or any component, the most expensive part is not always the best part. A good builder will keep costs in mind but sound in mind first and sometimes a cheaper part will sou... | |
| Guttenberg reviews Volti Razz oh nice @decooney I am sure his Dac sounds fantastic that room sure did. And thanks @charles1dad I appreciate that and it did sound very good. His Rivals sounded better but that's to be expected of course. | |
| Guttenberg reviews Volti Razz Hey decooney both times it was Border Patrol gear Dac and tube amplification and a CEC belt drive CD transport. Amps were 300B based. | |
| Guttenberg reviews Volti Razz Awesome I've heard the Razz, and other Volti models at CAF in the past and really liked them. And that self veneer option is a great idea. | |
| Totem Mani-2 vs Devialet Phantoms Gold The Devialet is basically a lifestyle speaker the Mani-2 should handily best it in the bass and elsewhere. But as Jaytor mentions above it needs a powerful amp with a stiff power supply. | |
| Simple question, probably stupid +1 @larryi Just inset your tubes press play and enjoy the sound steadily improving. | |
| Thumbs Up on LFD! Congrats I've been reading about LFD since the Sam Tellig Stereophile days but have never heard one. Good to hear it sounds as good as advertised. | |

I look back at certain pieces of gear and wonder if I knew then what I know now would I have liked them more. Also I wildly ... | |
| My thermostat plays Jazz and I don't know what to think about that. Erick you obviously got the deluxe model just replaced the HVAC here for $7K with a smart thermostat but no Alexa and no tunes. My poor tube amps will have to suffice. 😉 | |
| Is simpler better? Well said @jjss49 better is indeed better. There are certain functions I prefer to keep separate, streamer and Dac, preamp and amp. So far it's worked for me and the sound quality is fantastic to my ears. | |
| 3C24 tube amp recently converted to 812 ouput power tubes. Congrats Dan! The 812 tube is a new one to me but they look like they're pretty cheap an added bonus. | |
| Amp to pair with FM Acoustics 122/245 combo ? You have an awesome collection of systems rost! | |
| Selling gear made to be a set It's much easier to sell two pieces individually than as a set usually is all I'll say. |
