| Matching a amplifier to speakers Here is a discussion on Agon about this model Krell comparing it to a Coda amp. Both were complimented in the thread: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/krell-duo-175xd | |
| Matching a amplifier to speakers @twangy57 gosh, higher input impedance, doubles power into 4 ohms. I am thinking maybe this would work well with your pre and your speakers: https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisba7i0-krell-duo-175-xd-stereo-power-amplifier-black-excellent-solid... | |
| Sound quality differences in streamers I have not listened carefully to many high end streamers, so I am hesitant to weigh in directly on @kckrs’ question. But I have generally learned to trust the ears and collective opinion of people on Audiogon who have spent countless hours and dol... | |
| Matching a amplifier to speakers @twangy57 I might suggest this: https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisbdfg8-audio-research-vt200-mkii-power-amplifier-silver-pre-owned-tube I have no connection to this seller, just seems like it would fit the bill. kn | |
| Whats playing on your system today? +1 for Rage Against The Machine right now. | |
| Matching a amplifier to speakers @twangy57 you’ve gotten some good suggestions so far. I don’t hoe you could go wrong with a Pass Labs amp. Some solid state amps that I suggest pair well with Dynaudio speakers include amps from Moon, Primare and Plinius, and can be found used f... | |
| Yes, digital cables matter too @jymc I am just reporting what we found with a relatively quick test with an optimized midfi system in a purpose built room. The differences between coax cables were obvious using the Node and Chord DAC. This was with an after market power cable... | |
| Picking speakers 3000-5000 budget @twangy57 great choice! I will be interested to hear about your amp selection and journey through set up. Enjoyable thread. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? sara k. - HELL OR HIGH water London Grammar - Truth Is A Beautiful Thing Gretchen Parlato - Flor The sara k. album is one of the best produced and recorded albums I have ever heard (listening to 24/44.1 file). | |

| Picking speakers 3000-5000 budget @twangy57 you’re welcome if any of that was helpful to you. I totally understand that getting on the road again to Chicago must feel like a full blown busman’s holiday. I’d also like to acknowledge that it is awkward these days to go to a showroo... | |
| Picking speakers 3000-5000 budget You should be able to get some excellent sounding speakers for that budget - especially if you buy used, and you’ve gotten a lot of great advice here so far. It doesn’t sound like you have been doing a lot of listening to different speakers and s... | |
| Chinese DAC's Rereading @brbrock’s OP, it does not sound to me like they are asking for our advise on DACs, rather it’s a lament on how the current trade situation is going to affect the audio industry and it’s increasing reliance on China as a supplier of part... | |
| Best affordable Linear Power Stage @hdm I purchased an r-core power supply and a silver plated dc supply cable in the teeth of the current trade environment. If they arrive, I will report. kn | |
| Upgrade ....streamer or amp? I have a Node N130. The DAC is not very good. The streaming function alone with an external DAC is good, and adding a linear power supply to the Node (minor surgery required) upgraded the sound with an external DAC to very good/excellent. I mean... |
