| What tube pre-amps pair well with Pass amps? I have a LTA MicroZotl paired with my First Watt F7 and it is a great combo | |
| Need preamp recommendation I am very happy with my Linear Tube Audio MicroZotl preamp ($4,450) https://www.lineartubeaudio.com/products/microzotl-preamplifier | |
| Recommend speakers for Hegel H190 I have never had the opportunity to listen to your amp but based on reviews it seems that your Hegel leans to the analytical side rather than warmth. If you are interested in making a moderate change towards a warmer sound, I would recommend looki... | |
| Guidance on Speaker Wire I use Mogami speaker cables exclusively. They are used in studios and should accommodate longer runs. | |
| Looking to improve my system I have Forte III's and they are very good speakers. Very good bass & dynamics with only a 20 Wpc amp. I wouldn't worry about your cables at this point. I use power cords, and some interconnects from Signal Cable and they are very good. I a... | |
| Most organic / real / analogue sounding DAC (ideally with Volume Control) for $1500?????? I sold my Schiit Yggdrasil DAC in favor of my Border Patrol SEi ($1,425), and it was the best audio decision I've made. | |
| DAC choices -- help me cross the line I am currently using a Border Patrol SEi DAC and love it. It really has a way to connect you with the music. It just makes me feel good. It made such an impression on me that I sold my very highly regarded Schiit Yggdrasil A2 and have not looke... | |
| DAC upgrade suggestion I love my Border Patrol SEi DAC. I don’t care how it measures. It makes my ears happy. | |
| Best tube preamplifier for under $15k I love my LTA MicroZotl | |
| Low volume listening dynamics I am running Klipsch Forte III's (99db) with a First Watt F7 (20wpc) and the combo sounds great at low volumes. | |
| Best DAC for around $2,500 or less I sold my Schiit Yggdrasil (analog 2) in favor of my Border Patrol SEi.I guess it depends on what type of sound you are looking for. The Border Patrol has a sweeter sound that I prefer. The Schiit is slightly more detailed but not as engaging em... | |
| Need speaker cable I use Mogami 3104 Single bi-wire configured by Take Five Audio ($300) with my low level high end system ($20k). I find them to be very well balanced with no coloration. | |
| CD Transports My CXC gave me issues with cutting out & skipping. I have a Mac MCT 450 now | |
| How many people here generally buy used? I just made my first used purchase, a First Watt F7 amp. Shortly afterwards I purchased a used McIntosh MCT450 transport. To me it makes more sense financially to buy higher end components used. | |
| Does anyone collect something else other than music. Pool cues lol |
