| Speakers for Second System I have had a number of speakers in my 2nd system (living room). My favorites were between the TAD ME-1 and my current Janszen Valentina. My however, my wife fell in love with the Omn-directional sound of a relatively inexpensive pair of Decware ra... | |
| Am I allowed to BARTER?? What pair of XLR’s do you have? What length? | |
| Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs) I just spent several months comparing the AGD Audion mono blocks to my Coda #16 amp and have made my choice. The AGD’s are very, very good. I think they sound spectacular but my Coda has something that I prefer. There is a deep dynamic snap that t... | |
| Looking for a new (preowned OK) line stage under $5K: suggestions? Yes, get the MicroZOTL Preamp and don’t look back. You will not be disappointed. | |
| Can a Amp be "timeless" and compete with todays amps? I am having a pair of 1960 Altec Lansing 1570B mono blocks refurbished and modded. I have listened to these and the sound is just incredible.

| Backert Rhumba 1.3 OR Modwright LS 100 ? I have heard the Rhumba and was very impressed. I own the Rhythm 1.3 and it’s the best preamp I’ve owned to date. Previous preamps I’ve had are: Vinnie Rossi LIO DHT, Audible Illusions Modulus and LTA MicroZOTL Preamp Which I still have in a secon... | |

| Top Ten Tube PreAmp of all time? Linear Tube Audio Micro ZOTL Preamp and Backert Labs Rhythm 1.3 both excellent American made preamps. | |
| Power Cables and Wall Sockets I finally installed a dedicated line to my listening room. I used quality solid core 11ga wire from a new sub-panel to make the main run short as possible, installed a quality outlet and have very good power cord. The change was like a new compone... | |
| 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.
