| When were the best tube amps made? Best is a loaded term. What output power is required? What speakers being driven? What size room? What kind of music? Long term reliability? Etc. I loved an old Mac I had from the 60’s, loved my Conrad Johnson Premier Four & now really enj... | |
| Candidates for best speakers in the $2000-5000 market If you’re into realistic, big dynamic “live” sound vs “hifi” sound, check out Volti Audio Razz although I think they’re about $6K. They’re not harsh or hard sounding like horns of the past could be. Sold direct from Volti by Greg Roberts. His spea... | |
| Songs of debauchery and excess Half or more of George Thorogood’s songs. | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? Asctim-very interesting points you make! I looked at this subject that way! Similar things could be said about digital vs film photography. Thanks for the enlightenment. | |
| Reliable Mid-Priced 7.2 Channel Receiver I would suggest Anthem but may be a bit above your price range. Maybe a used one or one on sale ? I think the build & sound quality is the next level from most of what has been mentioned & it has an excellent , proprietary sound correction... | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll I own & really enjoy the best/ worst of both worlds. Full class A, 100 watts / side tube integrated amp. Rogers High Fidelity EFH 200 Mark II. Sounds great; very powerful, dynamic, detailed w/ full frequency extensions but as airy, beautifully... | |
| RIP Christine McVie Very sad to hear! She was by far my favorite FM member, supremely talented & a class act all the way. She will be missed. RIP | |
| Amp pairing with Tannoy Turnberry? mmcgil: You can call Roger Gibonni & speak w/ him directly about a trial. I think he may agreeable to that. I couldn't put the Prima Luna back in it's box & return it to a friend fast enough when I put the Rogers in my system. They're not ... | |
| Amp pairing with Tannoy Turnberry? I don’t know your speakers but another thought might be a Rogers High Fidelity EHF 200 Mark II integrated amp. Rogers is selling directly a used one w/ their full lifetime warranty for $8500 or best offer. I own one & it’s substantially better... | |
| TechDAS Reliability vs SME Might want to consider a Basis turntable & arm . Time tested quality & reliability & sound excellent, substantially better than the SOTA which I also owned at one point.. Absolute Sound loves them & Stereophile never mentions them ... | |
| Basic Questions Soix nailed it! Very easy to have 2 channel sound separated out from your home theater using the same pair of main speakers w/ that scenario. I suggest you get a good integrated amp w/ a good phono amp & home theater bypass. You can connect yo... | |
| Digital is far better than vinyl I guess satire is a lost art. I obviously knew the initial statement was a joke and was offering an analogy. I happened to own the streamer he mentioned ( relatively new purchase) a really good turntable/arm/ cartridge ( for a long time) in ... | |
| Welcome to Hell, here's your 8-Track Hilarious Dekay! Made my day! Thanks | |
| Digital is far better than vinyl Wonder why you bothered to go do “high end” on the turntable? A Kenner close & play from 1968 would have sufficed for your highly scientific endeavor. How did your tests turn out comparing the Toyota Corolla vs the McLaren GT? | |
| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live Thanks Lewm. I heard the Voltis at last year’s Capitol Audiofest in MD & I bought the pair at the show! Don’t need a sub , nice looking, “normal”, well finished boxes that are easy to place & easy to drive. I’ve been very happy with them f... |
