| After 20 years, in the market for a power amp AGD Tempo or Audions. I’ve had them for a few years now with a Backert Labs Rhythm tube pre. Bought a Coda S5.5 after reading all the raves about it but it just didn’t measure up to the AGDs. Sold it. Expensive mistake. | |
| CLASS D Another vote for AGD. I have the Tempo. | |
| Subwoofer @navyachts 25 x 25 x 8. It is between the two speakers (Magnapan LRS+) which are about 4 feet from the front wall. It integrates beautifully with the Maggies. I have had a number of subs over the years and this is the best by far. | |
| New room needs new speakers, I need your help With your preferences I would avoid the Clayton Shaw Caladans. They are rather hot in the presence region (upper mid to lower treble). Fyne F1-8 are a standmount speaker with an adjustable presence control. You might find they meet your needs. Ve... | |
| Speaker List narrowed down… If you decide to go with the Fynes, PM me. F1-8 walnut. | |
| D amps I have been using AGD amps for a couple of years now and couldn't be happier. Lovely sound driving my LRS+ with ease. | |
| In the sand box Don't use sand if you have cats. | |
| Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which? @yyzsantabarbara Thanks! I cancelled my order for the Risers after discovering that I had much better integration with my subwoofer with the LRS+ on the floor. I tried to buy the jumpers after cancelling, but he wouldn't sell. @yyzsantabarbara ... | |
| Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which? @yyzsantabarbara What kind of improvement did you hear with the Magna Risers? I have mine on the floor tilted forward and find them to be extraordinary. @audiofilo123 I am really surprised to hear that. I am very sensitive to excessive energy ... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @mitch2 You have the wrong guy. I’ll redirect to @stuartk | |
| Six DAC Comparison @stuartk I wouldn’t rule it out based upon that. It’s something I enjoy fussing with. Read the reviews. They are based on the stock tubes. And it is unlikely you will ever have to replace the tubes. | |
| Six DAC Comparison @stuartk Brent Jessie has some. Not inexpensive though. | |
| Six DAC Comparison @mitch2 Yes, I am aware of that coming review. Wish it was available now. I do have some RCA 12sn7 GTA's and I am looking for some 6 volts now. It also occurred to me that I might try 12au7's with adapters - I have gone the other way with 12sn7's... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @mitch2 All I can say is wow: terrific undertaking and execution. Thank you! I will be receiving the LTA Aero soon to compare to my PS Audio DSD v2. I am familiar with the 12sn7 tubes and the kind of energized presentation they are capable of. M... | |
| Rays Tubes @milpai I have the Mazda's too, but haven't tried them in the Backert. Thanks for the info. |
