| McIntosh Tube vs SS w/ Sonus Faber Aida II I’ll take McIntosh over any dead sounding Soulution or Constellation. I have a friend who even prefers the 611s over Dagostino- don’t count Mac out. | |
| Equipment Report: Linear Tube Audio's New Ultralinear PLUS @tvad which LTA amplifier did you prefer? I realize neither made you move on from your Audio Notes. I do wonder if being without output transformer limits the monoblock value. although Atmasphere and Joule always used monos. | |
| Fyne Speakers now in the USA My Fyne F1s took around 175-200 hours | |
| Recommendations and thoughts for end game speakers and amps you need big power for Rockport. I heard the Vitus class A stereo amp (50w) and wasn't enough, even in class A/B mode.There is an Avior user on WBF that has great results with Moon 860av2 which would match the sonic traits you are seeking. | |

| Best amp to drive YG Acoustics Hailey 2.2 I’ve owned the Luxman, Rowland 625, and Pass x.8 on Haileys - the Rowland was the best although Luxman monos would probably be very good (stereo wasn’t enough).I ended up using Ampzillas myself in the end. | |
| SET vs Push-Pull (Line Magnetic vs Primaluna) As far as I know, Hugh @ Angel City Audio is still the Melody distributor here. Prices are still fairly reasonable. I've heard the AN845 in my home as well as the M845 monos at a friends house. The 2688 preamp has also been in my room. They do nee... |
