| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver this is a great thread, so far. @hilde45 Really depends on your priorities. Zu is basically a single driver speaker, and as such has the pros and cons of such a design. they are big sounding, toneful, and coherent. I do feel they are a little "... | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver I’ve owned Zu Defs, then Devore Gibbon Xs, but now own (and prefer) Fyne. They have a Denver dealer. I run them with 20 watts. | |
| Equipment Report: Linear Tube Audio's New Ultralinear PLUS Well folks, I have a second UL+ enroute for monos on my Fyne F1-12s. Let’s see what she can do! | |
| Struggling to spend 13k with three dealers You have a trade and want setup too? No wonder. | |
| Best speakers around $130k? Check out YG Sonja 2.3 - much prefer to Wilson and Rockport. Your amps will drive them fine. | |
| Do have anyone to purchase Audio Research REF 75SE in 2021? The Ref75SE doesn’t sound SS at all. It’s very musically convincing unlike former ARC products. | |
| Fist Watt F6 vs Pass Labs XA 25 @mikem I've actually owned the XA25, tried in multiple systems, and my comment stands. In FW land, only have heard the SIT3 not the newer F8 though. | |
| Fyne F703...anyone owns the ? F1-12 owner here, pretty fantastic so far. Amp matching is more taste than anything. I've been using anything from a LTA to an Ampzilla with great results. Have also tried Dartzeel, Enleum (Bakoon), FirstWatt, and Pass XA25. They sound more modern... | |
| Preamp shootout: Linear tube audio, Modwright, etc. With LTA, the 12sn7 isn’t the dominant circuit tube so stick with their stock ones which are quite good. However, definitely need to switch the small tubes for optimal performance. Removes glare. | |
| Fist Watt F6 vs Pass Labs XA 25 FW > Pass | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 with YG Hailey 2.2s? Should work great - YG pairs well with warmish SS that can double down to 2ohms | |
| Best SS Amp - Pass Labs X350.8 vs. Luxman M900u vs. Ayre VX-R Twenty I’ve owned all these amps except the Ayre, which I had the non-20 version on demo years ago. They are all quite different sonically. I like the Luxman quite a bit as its musical, transparent, with great texture- but its a top down amp so if bass i... | |
| Dynaudio Contour 30i or Sonus Faber Olympica II Dyn and SF are pretty different. Likely won’t like both. There is no “right” answer. | |
| Can someone suggest a lush tube integrated under $3000 used Jadis fits the bill | |
| Review: Linear Tube Audio Z10 Integrated Amplifier Hey Geoff, taking an Ultralinear+ for a spin. Very favorable impression so far. |
