| Class D vs Class A Education I've ventured into Class D a time or two.I appreciate the advantages associated with this energy friendly design,however,in my opinion,it's just not there yet.At least for me.The musical presentation is not emotionally immediate or involving and I... | |
| Has anyone Upgraded their ARC preamp I went from a 25MKII to a Ref 3.It was a step up.More musical all around,I was very pleased with my choice. | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Hi guys,Mark here,visit the Canadian equivalent of audiogon.www.canuckaudio.com.Last week there was a trio of CCa's for $225.Also,ECC88 gold pins and Amperex come up from time to time.If you see something you like let me know and I'll ship them to... | |
| Need help for preamp/amp to build around my 1.6s Bryston is a seamless match with Magnepan.Urban legend,James Winey drives his personal Maggies with the 7 series monos.In my last system I complimented this combination(4BSST/1.6) with an Audio Research LS 15 which brought it all together.A recomm... | |
| What Audio Research tube pre amp ? I had Maggies and several Bryston amps over the years.My pre of choice was an Audio Research LS 15 and it was a very good fit.Flip me a pm for more specifics if you're so inclined. | |
| need suggestion about pre-amp, price around $5,000 The "Dude" dude.Spend the remaining $1200 on your wife. | |
| solid state vs tubes I erected sails on my power boat.Still able to tell it was a power boat.I also added food colour to my white wine so it would have the appearance of red wine.Still tasted like white wine to me.I've never been able to understand why people try to m... | |
| Modwright SWL 9 SE vs Audible Illusions L1 Well using Adcom and Rotel would explain why SS didn't work for you.The Mod,in no way sounds like solid state,kinda like suggesting this red wine tastes like that white wine.Your decision to research other products is a wise move. | |
| Modwright SWL 9 SE vs Audible Illusions L1 I've owned both.In my system the Modwright out performed the AI.At its price point the Mod is very attractive.Depending on your budget you may also want to consider the Aesthetix Calypso,Audio Horizons and the Dodd battery powered pre. | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Hi guys,Not to take this thread in a different direction,I just want to canvass opinions on Josephs new product,the RTS coupler.Flip me a pm if you're so inclined.Enjoy the holiday weekend. | |
| Tubelike SS Power amp I'm currently using an Audio Horizons tube line stage.I moved from ss amps to tube power in 2003,and since then have owned several tube amps.Personally I believe it's a natural progression in pursuit of excellence,like 90 point wine.Every once in ... | |
| SET vs ICE vs GAINCLONE vs HYBRID vs other? That's always been my experience with Class D in my audio system.Wonderful technology,energy friendly,no worries,but it just doesn't capture the expressiveness and artfullness of the music. | |
| Best Amp for Magnepan 1.7? Door #1 Bryston.Door #2 Bryston.Door #3 Bryston.Been there, done that, got the T-Shirt. | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier I don't pay any more attention to the motherhood statement "sounds better than pre amps costing several thousand dollars more" than I do "he's the best man for the job" without disclosing who the other candidates were.No Sherod I did not sell my o... | |
| Amp for Magnepan 1.7's Bryston is a natural match for Magnepan.A 4BSST with a tube pre and you be cruising man. |
