| Reasonably priced preamplifier The Chinese copy FM155 [or FM 255] preamps sound fantastic and are very cheap.Much better than a Schiit Freya for example.As they should be because the real things are around $20,000 and considered one of the best sounding preamps you can buy. | |
| DarTzeel’s new direction In fairness to the look of Dartzeel they are in line with other high end Swiss aesthetics .Classic gold Rolex watches for example. | |
| speakers that are a little laid back in the mids Revel F208 If you read the Stereophile review you see they have dip between about 1000Hz and 3000Hz which gives them a slightly recessed prescence region.Imaging is also not as forward as most .They do not really mention that in that review but ... | |
| Power Amplifier - Maximum Resolution & Detail! You can still buy Bakoon amplifiers.At least in Japan and Australia.Bakoon is the real thing made by the designers in Japan.Enleum and Bakoon Korea are more just upselling /fancy boxing/alternative marketing enterprises based on the Bakoon Japan d... | |
| Power Amplifier - Maximum Resolution & Detail! You can buy Chinese copies of the FM Acoustic FM 300A amplifiers for about US $450.They are both high resolution and musical.Not quite as high resolution as my Bakoon but pretty close .The real FM 300A costs about $30,000.The copies are claimed to... | |
| Power Amplifier - Maximum Resolution & Detail! The Musical Fidelity A1 is not a high resolution amp.Pleasant but relatively low resolution.I own one.It has the least resolution of all the amps I own. | |
| Power Amplifier - Maximum Resolution & Detail! Bakoon make the highest resolution amplfiers I have used and heard.They sound extremely natural and pure.Next to them probably CH Precision.At a much greater price.The Bakoons are a relative bargain. | |
| Integrated S.E.T Amp and Bookshelf Speakers Recommendations A 300B SET does not have enough power for the vast majority of speakers.Why would you want to severely limit your choice of speakers ? If you are determined to use a SET then you would be much better off considering a 6C33C,211,811 or 845 based o... | |
| Finding a Bookshelf for Luxman C900U/M900U I really don't understand using smallish two ways in otherwise decent systems.You only ever get a shrunken sort of sound.I went through a stage of trying some to suit a smallish room /second system and did own some of the better ones but never fou... | |
| Why are Harbeth speakers expensive while its drivers are not. $550 to build the cabinets? It would cost around that much just to have them sanded and spray finished. | |
| Is there Tannoy Magic / Should I buy a pair of Tannoys as "accessory" speaker? Lots of speakers have come and gone but my Tannoy Monitor Gold 15s in Canterbury style boxes stay.I also own horns and have owned several high end purist audiophile speakers like Dynaudio C5.To me the appeal of the Tannoys is the coherence and ti... | |
| Solid State Low powered Amplifiers Bakoon amplifiers are Class A/B cool running and sound fantastic.Especially with high sensitivity speakers.They sound better than the vast majority of SETs and Class A SS amps. | |
| Most Musical 6NS7 tube for a Preamp? A friend lent me a box of 6SN7s to try in my Supratek. Most of the preferred older ones were there including the Ken Rad VT231,Brimar CV1988,RCA Grey etc .My pick was the Toshiba 6SN7 GB.The most neutral,open ,clean and detailed.Second was probab... | |
| Rebuilding vintage Rogers Studio 1 monitors Nice story.I am working on restoring my second pair of these wonderful speakers. | |
