| Newbie, first time tube rolling. Yes why waste tube hours on silence listen to them! | |
| Phil Lesh From my first show 7/6/86 to my last 9/24/94 and beyond I've considered Phil a musical genius. RIP Phil. And very nice to see Phish open their show tonight with Box of Rain. | |
| Capital Audiofest Coming Up! I'll be there on Sunday. | |
| Accuphase class A amps - going up the food chain from an A-48 to an A-80 or A-300? It makes sense that a preamp would sound better going up the chain but to me amps are a different cup of tea. Especially Class A amps so assuming you don't need the extra wattage it is entirely possible the A-48 will sound as good and possibly bet... | |
| Does anyone on AG truly care anymore about objectivity & sincerity of Magazine reviews? +1 @bdp24 well said. and +1 @mitch2 very very weird. | |
| Help me decide If you like the sound you're getting now the 5.5 would be the obvious upgrade to your 2.5. Beyond that I have no advice not really an ARC fan but good luck. | |
| Does anyone on AG truly care anymore about objectivity & sincerity of Magazine reviews? Perhaps they really like that driver in their designs? | |
| Your reaction to Herve Deletraz’s statement re: hi end and darTZeel Nothing he says is really untrue though after reading that it's hard to say what his plans are. However I can't afford Dartzeel nor have I ever heard any so that's a moot point for me. | |

| TALK Amplifier Tornado 2.1 ....A BUZZ Sound Is the amp buzzing or is it coming through your speakers? Neither will hurt your speakers, if it's the amp it's the transformer buzzing likely some DC on the line. And through the speakers a ground loop perhaps. | |
| Component matching expertise - how do you do it? I spent 5-6 years doing trial by error buying used gear and then found a great local dealer and finally got the sound I was looking for. I say if you have a good dealer stick with them. | |
| ???YOUR Personal Favorite???Why??? I love my Audio Note AN-J/lx's on Sound Anchors stands. Compared them to the AN-K, various Proac and Harbeth speakers. Going on 5 years owning them and still in love. | |
| ??? How Much Would You Spend ??? Questions like this are about synergy not dollars which is why they are impossible to answer without knowing specific brands. So what are these speakers? | |
| Relaxed/Analog sounding DAC for under $10k (used or new) Since you mention Sw1x and Lampizator in your OP you may want to take a look at Audio Note Dacs. They are beautiful music making machines. unless you're totally into hi-rez which they don't really do worth checking out. | |
| Magico speakers too clinical and fatiguing? I've only heard Magico once at CAF, no idea what model, and wasn't expecting much. They were paired with an all CAT system their top monoblocks and I'd describe the sound I heard as rich and chocolatey. Weird and not at all what I expected I chalk... |
