| Pathos Classic One MkIII vs. Krell S-300i If you are trying to decide between the two, let me offer another option. I had a single Pathos Classic MK III and found it lacking. By that I mean it ran out of steam at listening levels I thought lower than the power rating would indicate and ... | |
| Xindak Seems like the stats are mixed between 2 different Xindak models. There is the smaller XA8800NMU mini which is 160w and maybe 85 lbs for the pair----you can get these used for a lot less than $1600 and then there is the MA8800NME which is rated a... | |
| What used amp should I pair with my newly acquired Monitor Audio GR60's? At that price point I have found the Jaton Operetta AV 5140 to be an excellent all-around performer. I prefer a more detailed sound with sharper image focus/outlines and a tighter bass. These Jatons are frequently available in 4 or 5 channels s... | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options brianlucey---I picked up my first JAS Array 2.1 for an even trade for a pair of Monarchy Audio SE 160's and then a few yrs later bought a demo JAS for less than $1500 shipped. Add about $600-700 for tubes and I had great sound for well under $250... | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options boomerbillone----what 300B were you using? | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options boomerbillone---sounds very interesting and what a nice price. Where did you purchase yours and are you missing any qualities in the new amp vs the Elekit? Thanks for the recommendation!speakermaster---with regards to vintage amps, back in the d... | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options Charles---I probably won't (ever) be able to swing the Mola Mola or Soulution amps but am interested in the Benchmark. I'd be much more likely to seek them out if the used price were lower though. How did you feel about the Benchmark's sound? I... | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options jjss49--The Audiozone Amp1 is (if I understand it correctly) also a Peter Daniel's creation and is pretty much the same amp with dual front mount volume pots and it is really quite nice. I keep the pots fully open and use the volume on my DAC. I... | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options falconquest---been using solid state to drive the woofers for several yrs, everything from pro amps to integrateds and now a preamp & separate power amp. The issue is that the 45w I got out of my SET just wasn't quite enough some of the time.... | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options Charles----I already sold the JAS. I had it repaired a couple yrs ago, a problem with a bank of bridge rectifiers if I recall correctly. I used it briefly until the heat made me switch in the warm weather substitute amp. I then moved 3 times in... | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options djones51--- I was looking at the Nord monoblocks on TMR. Any experience with them? And I'll be looking for used LKV or AGD amps though it may be a while before they sell at my price point. Sucks to be poor! | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options What I heard with the JAS Array 2.1 was a purity that I hadn't heard before nor in any thing else in my system since. The sound was not warm nor lush. It was quite neutral in that sense if not slightly lean. And the images had a fullness and a ... | |
| Amp to power surround channels for MUSIC ONLY I have a couple Jaton Operetta AP5140A amplifiers (one 4 channel, the other 5) and find them to be excellent amplifiers for audio and video purposes. I don't do surround sound and use the 4 channel to biamp custom speakers and the other is used f... | |
| Audiophile AC Outlets I’ve tried 4 different audiophile ac outlets and find them a very worthy upgrade although which you’ll prefer will be dictated by your preference(s) in sound. Below is what I heard with each. I installed them in a PS Audio P600 and then tried the ... | |
| DAC recommendations--Auralic Vega vs Audio Alchemy DDP 1---others w/remote volume control? The reviews are all glowing for the AA DDP 1/PS 5. How does the DAC compare to the sound of the Raysonic 228? I'm using a quad of the orange globe Amperex 6DJ8's. |
