| Pass Labs Preamps with tube amps? The name is on it but Nelson does not design his preamps. They are an afterthought for him. | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system @skyscraper Next time you're in the DC area stop in at Linear Tube Audio and have a listen in their new listening room. The new 120-watt mono’s are fantastic sounding and will probably be production-ready in a couple of months. Also, if you're ... | |
| Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC I had the opportunity to hear the prototype of this DAC in my system months ago. I was very impressed by how analog-sounding it was, so very musical. I'm told it's been tweaked and improved since then. I can't describe it as a tube DAC since the B... | |
| Integrated for TAD ME1: Luxman, Accuphase or Soulnote? +1 for the CODA and used it with the TAD ME-1 | |
| No love for Legacy Audio I have only heard the Legacy speakers at Audio shows but it has never been good. | |
| Top Ten Tube PreAmp of all time? My best preamp to date: Backert Labs Rhythm 1.3 | |
| Timbernation Platform Problems I had similar issues with them. | |
| I'm going to buy my first tube amp. I need honest blunt opinions I owned those speakers a few years back. I tried a few tube amps but the best matchup was a SS Musical Fidelity M6PRX Power Amp. If I were to go with a tube amp I try a Linear Tube Audio ZOTL40. | |
| Conrad Johnson Classic 120se vs. Linear Tube Audio 40 Reference Amps I don't have any experience with Conrad Johnson but extensive experience with David Berning and LTA. I have owned several non-OTL tube amps and the clarity and transparency along with the sweet EL34 midrange of my ZOTL40 amp surpasses them all. I ... | |
| PS Audio Power Plant P3 to P12 After a few years with a P10, I sold it and got a P15. I could easily hear an immediate improvement. Very happy. | |
| New! Cerious Technologies Lumniscate cables @tommylion I do have the Lumniscate PC from the wall to my P-15 power conditioner and from P-15 to preamp, dac, streamer, TT, etc. It sounds great. There is no downside. | |
| Is Townshendisolation.com a scam site? I just got a pair of super tweeters from them. They were slow to respond and send me a ship date, but when I mentioned canceling the order, they got things moving. I love these super tweeters. | |

| Morrow power cables I owned the top-of-the-line Morrow cables, and they're OK, but since then, I have bought much better cables, including Townshend F-1 Fractals, Ceriuos Technologies Tech, etc. Morrow is not the end-all, just saying. | |
| Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs) @yyzsantabarbara I was never able to hear the AGD Gran Vivace but the Audions were superb. I now have custom modded Altec Lansing 1570B mono blocks. |
