| Aric Audio? First Watt? PrimaLuna? I have never heard Aric’s preamps but I have the Aric Audio Transcend Push Pull. It sounds wonderful and powers my 85db, 8 ohm TAD ME-1’s with plenty of headroom.Lance | |
| Advantages of owning equipment from major audio brands vs. boutique shops? I have purchased products from Modwright and Linear Tube Audio and both companies have outstanding service before, during and after sales. These folks are not just in it for a buck like so many large companies. These small boutique companies are r... | |
| Me vs. JL Audio - An open discussion. @dweller I have a pair of E110’s and I think they sound great. Both have failed at different times and were sent back to JL to be repaired. They still sound great but a bit of a hassle. | |
| Deciding on new TT and either a Zephyr MIMC vs an Audio Technica ART9 I love the ART9 and im a Soundsmith fan but to surpass the ART9 I had to buy a 4K Soundsmith Paua IIES | |
| Phonostage/preamp recommendations. Parasound JC3 Jr.? I have no experience with the JC3 junior but the JC3+ is very good. It is dead quiet and dynamic. I also have a Modwright PH9 and it is just as good as the JC3+ but a little warmer sounding. | |
| Uptone EtherRegen I did read it. I too was skeptical until I heard it. It’s not one of those tweaks that you have to listen very closely to try to hear a difference. It’s like I got a new DAC.Lance | |
| Uptone EtherRegen @three_easy_payments, at this point in time I don’t think anyone reputable has done measurements. I love what I’m hearing so no need for me but I’m guessing if it measures well it would be a sales advantage. | |
| Plinius SA103 @blumartini look down in my HT systemLance | |
| Plinius SA103 @blumartini i just tried again | |
| Plinius SA103 @blumartini The SA103 is a wonderful amp but I have not heard the SA-250 so I can’t comment on it. I did send you a message on the SA103 that I have.Lance | |
| Does anyone play two pairs of speakers at the same time? I don’t know about extra pairs of speakers playing together but I recently heard the Swarm type subwoofer setup and bought it immediately. Multiple subs setup right is incredible sounding. | |
| Linear Tube Audio I own the ZOTL40 and ZOTL Preamp. This gear is exceptional sounding. I heard the integrated at CAF and It’s killer good. Mark and the guys at LTA are great to work with. LTA hasn’t been around that many years but David Berning has been designing ... | |
| Dipping toes in tube preamp pool!! This is my opinion of course and I have owned some of the other preamps mentioned here. The LTA Microzotl preamp is incredible, an endgame preamp. | |
| Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers @twoleftearsI have them on my TAD ME-1 stand mount speakers. They work great on the bottom of the stands. | |
| Is the Modwright for an Oppo udp205 worth it? I absolutely love my Modwright Oppo 205. You will most likely never get customer service at this level again anywhere else. I can’t say enough good things about Modwright. My 205 locked up because of a bad board and I knew the problem wasn’t in th... |
