| PS Audio PowerPlant P20 better than pure direct AC I get during the night? I love my P10. I bought the new P15 and it’s even better, as in you can notice an audible difference, than the P10. I moved my P10 to a second system. | |
| US made, integrated tube preamp able to handle KT150 tubes? @aniwolfe I found that Aric uses quality parts and the sound confirms that. Now to work on saving up for the Super 211 SET. | |
| US made, integrated tube preamp able to handle KT150 tubes? As Aric mentioned my Transcend amp sounds great without a preamp, just using the volume control on my DAC. I am amazed how these EL34 tubes drive my TAD ME-1 speakers at 85db 4 ohm as loud as I can stand. | |
| US made, integrated tube preamp able to handle KT150 tubes? Aric Audio’s Transcend Push Pull has exceptional sound quality and is a tube rollers dream. It uses EL34, KT88, KT120 or KT150. | |
| New Janszen zA2.1 Valentina Review @If you can make it to the Capital Audiofest starting November 1st, David will be there with these speakers. | |
| New Janszen zA2.1 Valentina Review This new version is spectacular. If you ever wondered what an electrostic speaker would sound like with good bass this is it and I'm not talking about trying to blend your subs in. This is natural sounding. | |
| Anybody in Touch w Andy at Vintage Tube0 I have emailed him twice and have not heard from him. | |
| Bit Disappointed in NAD I have the best experiences with small audio companies and certainly the best customer service. | |
| NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables @gochurchgo, I owned several different levels of Morrow cables including the flag ship Elite Reference Interconnects and speaker cables. The Graphene Extreme Cables are better and the Matrix even more so. I sold all of my Morrow cables.Lance | |
| Separate DAC or continue using the Oppo UDP-205 @loganfan, you will not regret it. | |
| Decware integrated Decware is a good place to start. They have helpful forums and Steve is easy to talk to. It was my gateway drug into tube amps. | |
| Active pre-amp for “difficult” music (fusion) I love fusion. My Linear Tube Audio Micro ZOTL Preamp checks all of the boxes. The MZ2 and MZ3 are also very good preamps with fewer bell and whistles. | |
| most realistic sound from a stand mount Loudspeaker active or passive TAD ME-1 | |
| My “Dream” system needs a preamp I agree with two already mentioned. Aric Audio and Linear Tube Audio, both excellent. | |
| Separate DAC or continue using the Oppo UDP-205 The Oppo 205 has the ESS 9038 Pro, their flagship DAC. It is a very good DAC. I had my 205 modded at Modwright with the full tube stage mods and separate power supply. It sounds incredible. It’s worth keeping and upgrading. My opinion of course. |
