| audible illusions vs supratek, vs holoaudio vs backert I have owned the Audible Illusions pre and the Backert. The Backert is by far superior sounding. | |
| Any GaN amp good with Acoustats? I did connect my AGD Audion mono blocks with my Janszen zA2.1 electrostatic speakers and was impressed. These are the best class D amps Ive ever heard. | |
| Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs) I have been listening to the Coda #16 with it’s first 100 watts of class A for almost a year now and recently brought in AGD Audion mono blocks. The Coda, to me is the pinnacle of class A goodness. I love the dynamic power. The AGD mono’s are righ... | |
| Best MC Cartridge Pairing for Technics SL-1210 GAE? I also have the Art 9 and it is highly recommended. I did accidentally bend the stylus so until I find someone that can repair its inactive. | |
| GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week @yyzsantabarbara which preamp did you keep? | |
| GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week @bhvf The Coda #16 has the RCA to XLR switch on the front. I have run it both ways on my 16. | |
| GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week @mapman, Coda’s web site looks the same for many years now. It seems like he’s need an update pretty badly. The Coda #16 sounds phenomenal in my system. I don’t think I hooked it up that day you visited because of your interest in the AGD’s but I... | |
| Best MC Cartridge Pairing for Technics SL-1210 GAE? I have tried many MM and MC cartridges on my Technics table. Then I tried a DS Audio 003 optical cart. I was so smitten by this sound I then bought the DS Grand Master and I’m set forever. This is the best sound I’ve ever heard from a TT period. | |
| Is there any one piece of vintage gear you most wished you owned? I’m still want some KLH Nines | |
| 2019 300B tubes that are worth the money? I sold my DHT preamp so I now have a pair of Elrog 300B and a pair of KR T-100 tubes laying around if anyone is interested. | |
| Tube Rolling Advice for the Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme? My dealer tells me that using tube adapters and 12SN7’s sound better than 12AU7’s. Has anyone tried this? | |
| AGD Tempo in the house I’m enjoying the the AGD Audion’s now. If someone has the new Atmosphere GaN amps and are within a reasonable distance from (Maryland) I could bring the AGD’s over for a shoot-out. They are very lightweight and easy to transport. | |
| Are you pairing Tube Preamp/Line Stage with Class D Power Amp? I have the AGD Audion mono blocks. I have used the Vinnie Rossi LIO DHT, LTA Micro ZOTL and also use the Backert Labs Rhythm 1.3 preamps. All sound great with different flavors. The LIO DHT presents a wonderful holographic sound stage. The MZ and ... | |
| Power regeneration - good idea? PS audio? As @jl1ny said do not plug in a power hungry amp into the regen. My Coda #16 is 150/watts with the first 100 in class A. My P15 strangled the dynamics and when I plugged directly into the wall it cam3 alive | |
| Micro zotl 2 upgrade Get the full size MicroZOTL preamp. It is better than the AR, my opinion of course. |
