| 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... | |
| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live I didn’t read all the responses but here’s my $.02. Of course nothing compares to good quality live music. There are too many steps along the way to reproducing music in our home w/ varying degrees of sound degradation. For the type of music m... | |
| Old school shootout: Snell A/III vs. Original B&W 801 I owned the A- III’s & really enjoyed them. I had a VPI turntable, Souther Linear Arm, Adcom Cross Coil cartridge, PS Audio preamp & then an Audible Illusions pre amp, Amber power amps& then a Conrad Johnson Premier Four power amp. Th... | |
| Tonearm Parallel? The late , brilliant AJ Conti of Basis Turntables said that he thought that being obsessed w/ “perfect” VTA was mostly a waste of time because records can be different thicknesses & can be cut to different depths too. And this was a man OBSESS... | |
| So, I listened to a $1Million Dollar System Dodgealum - fully agreed! I listened two different times over the weekend at the Capitol Audiofest last year to the big Von Schweickert / VAC system & came away baffled how it sounded nothing like live music! After. Just a few minutes, I had ... | |
| Vintage tube sound from a modern amp The first & certainly one of the all time greats in this category you’re defining is the McIntosh MC 275! “New & improved” version sounds Excellent, solid build quality & a timeless design. To me, in its power range of about 90 real ... |
