| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Mike- interesting your MC275 sounds best. I would expect this as a more neutral tube amp (KT88-based) would work best with your new speakers which are quite warm or "sweet" as you say.I've heard Tannoy/Cary several times and found it so syrupy and... | |
| Best Rock Album of 2014 Just can't get into the new Beck- so dreary, but not groundbreaking or fresh. Call me crazy.I am really enjoying Damon Albarn's album- its pretty unique as far as singer/songwriter music goes. | |
| Best 300B SET Pani- I'm sorta in your camp. 845 works better for more that kind of music. | |
| Best Rock Album of 2014 Your welcome, Ghosthouse- probably still my favorite album of 2014 | |
| Audiophile Active Speakers? Barefoot is quite good, depending on room size | |
| Which high power SET In my experience, push pull has dramatically more shove than SET. 28 p/p EL34 watts isn't equivalent to 25 845 SET watts. In fact, I had 15w Quad p/p amps that were tremendously more powerful than the 25w Audions SETs. As others suggest, impedance... | |

| Boltz CD racks? my issue as a long time Boltz owner was that once a CD fell, it went all the way through to the ground. PITA product despite the nice, minimalist look. | |
| Good SS amp for Cary SLP98? Cary V12; skip the SS trial and error | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup The Valvets are great electronics, but they probably won't equal a Koda/Audion combo. Some of your thoughts on the Koda equate mine on Japanese gear I've auditioned in the past- seems to suffer dynamically although is very smooth. Germanboxers has... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Good to hear about a new Definition owner!Sean's Soul Supremes were down in Newport sounding fabulous- best Show setup I've ever heard Zu. Using a Neves pro audio preamp and pair of Melody 845s.I've got a Torus Power product on order, that's all t... | |
| Selling Dynaudio c2 what next??? I would get C1s and a better amp like Pass Labs. | |
| Wall Outlet Oyaide, Furutek, Wattgate, and others I just ordered Porter Ports- much better time spent on other things imo. | |
| Has anyone paired Ayre with Raidho Ayre can be kinda dry, so not sure a good match for Raidho. |
