AGD Audion GaN Class D In The House
@david_ten  I will be home through the holidays this year so yes, come on by. For complete transparency I have just gotten through my 10 days of quarantine after my bout with Covid. We’re all vaxxed here and I still got it although my wife didn’t... 
Products you added to your system in 2021 that made most impact to your music enjoyment
The best thing I’ve done in my audio room this year was adding a dedicated power line. I used upgraded 11 ga. wire and a Furutech GTX outlet. I should have done this long ago.  
Preamp shootout: Linear tube audio, Modwright, etc.
I am currently testing 3 preamps. I have the coda 07x preamp which is the best SS pre I’ve ever owned. The Vinnie Rossi LIO DHT and the Direct Heated Triode stage sound gorgeous. I also have an LTA MicroZOTL Preamp. All three have their strengths ...

@david_ten  You must come back for a visit. I have also added a dedicated power line and it was well worth it.

AGD Audion Mono Blocks   I’ve lived with them for about a week so not even broken in yet. Upon arrival I immediately opened the flight case and set them up on the audio rack but they were cold from sitting in the delivery truck I assume. I shoul... 
Dedicated 20 Amp Line for Audio
I would like to add that I did run 2ga wire to a sub-panel as close as possible to my listening room. This enabled me to run the quality Giga cable a much shorter distance and then the size doesn't matter as much. Ohms law, shorter distance means ... 
Dedicated 20 Amp Line for Audio
I used this https://www.gigawatt.eu/produkt/in-wall-cable-gigawatt-lc-y-3x4-mk3/ for my dedicated line, 11ga, flexible and directional. It ssounds incredible.

I have a pair of Audion mono blocks on the way. I will report back next week.  
Next upgrade?
I'm nearing my last moves. I just got the dedicated power line and wow! I should have done it much sooner. Like a new component.  
Ridiculous assertions that someone is being ripped off or conned
I did have a local fellow come over to buy a Plinius SA103. I had it hooked up and ready to audition. He came, he listened and he liked what he heard. He paid cash and left with it. He called me 3 days later and said it was making noise and it alm...

They didn’t always honor the claim when they did provide insurance.

@klh007 I did not get to every room and I believe that’s one I missed. Im a little disappointed now. Next time I guess. I was happy to actually be at a show.

I just left the Capital Audiofest and heard the AGD amps. I have never heard a class D amp I liked until this weekend. Holy crap! The amps were playing with an The AGD ANDANTE preamp and Ocean Way stand mount speakers. The KT88 looking tube does s...
