| where next to go? I tried for quite some time to get digital that rivals vinyl. I could never do it using PC audio playing software. I finally bought a Sonos system and now stream lossless (FLAC) encoded files from a PC. I run the Sonos direct into Audio Note monob... | |
| What stereo amp sounds better than digital monos? I owned a pair of Adagios for a year or so. The amplifier that I liked best with them was the RedWine Audio Signature 30.2.This amp. is a Tripath design, so not a class "D", and has much more warmth and flesh compared to class "D"'s. I usually lis... | |

| Why is the market for used Levinson amps so slow? I suspect the market for used Levinson amps is slow because the general movement in the audiophile realm is towards high efficiency / low power setups. Err, and the sound of levinson. | |
| $$$Sensitive Speakers with $$Amps? The best amplifier I have ever owned (and not the most expensive) is a pair of Audio Note Kits Interstage Monoblocks running 300b's.Completely, and absolutely silent on my 100+ db effecient horns. The interstage transformer relaces the more common... | |
| Why is the market for used Levinson amps so slow? err, because they sound so poor? | |
| Sophia KT88 vs. Psvane KT88 So everyone is clear here, Washington_highend_audio is in-fact Sophia Electric. I live by their office and met Richard from Sophia Electric during my visit to hear Sophia Electric tubes and monoblocks some time ago. They are a re-brander / importe... | |
