| Things we cannot be bothered by anymore One may not be bothered by chaos but that will not shield one from the impacts. Chaos is chaos. Nothing to do with politics. It’s never good though some may actually enjoy it. Different strokes…. | |
| How can they not effect the sound Additional not often mentioned advantage of Ohm Walsh CLS speakers: all driver components are safely sealed in a metal mesh can. You would have to knock one over or drop it accidentally to cause physical damage. This helps account for their famed... | |
| How can they not effect the sound From my experience, dents may be in the dustcap in the middle of the bass driver in which case, unless the damage is extensive, it is likely no effect on the sound. My first task in my first hifi job at a Tech Hifi that specialized in refurb gear... | |
| My Sonus Faber Amatis have weak bass even though I'm running ML 536s--800 w/ch into 4 ohms Do you use Roon? The DSP should fix it unless there is something like a bass driver or drivers not working right. Making sure everything is wired properly to be in phase is important as mentioned. Roon DSP can invert phase as needed so e... | |

| Tube Pre with Benchmark AHB2 Amp - anyone doing this? Could be. Regardless, the devil is in the details. If using a SS amp with tube pre-amp, imdepance matching is key to getting best results. If you go with a SS amp that has at least 50-60kohm input impedance, one would expect good results. We’re... | |
| Tube Pre with Benchmark AHB2 Amp - anyone doing this? @invalid , true, Not all. Linear Tube Audio for example. That’s due to their proprietary ZOTL technology that makes them unique. Good stuff. Quality more-SS like sound but with tubes. Something different. The “linear” in the name is appropriate. | |

| How would you characterize the VAC tube amps? Very musical yet articulate. Thumbs up! 👍 | |
| Tube Pre with Benchmark AHB2 Amp - anyone doing this? Tube preamp is a good way to go if low distortion SS sound is not your thing. I moved from tube preamp to SS Freya personally. Tube preamps have higher output impedance. That can lead to much of the resulting sound being softer, less dynamic,... | |

| Cambridge EVO 150 opinions? I have had one for a few years and love it. Listening to it as I type. It’s a Swiss Army knife of good sound, compact and can drive most any speaker well. Running with Sonus Faber Concerto Domus currently, also Ohm Walsh and KEF meta. Highly... | |
