| Component contributions to “sound stage” For me personally 1 Speakers (speaker placement) 1a acoustic treatment 2 amp and preamp had about the same influence 3 upgraded to discreet DAC Everthing else was minor compared to these. | |
| Aurender Model Choices @willywonka Very interesting! So I have a A 20 which is similar to the n200. I have it hooked via USB to an Esoteric K01 XD with a superior clock. To clarify Aurender says that it is then using the DAC clock correct? That would make the upgr... | |
| Cable Break In for the Naysayers Nevermind I see in the previous thread where it shorted from your cable to the Rel. I can see that happening easily. I moved my Sub cabling to the speaker end for less congestion. | |
| Cable Break In for the Naysayers Are these the same cables where one just shorted out for no reason? | |
| Luxman leaves me wanting I went from a Luxman 550 to a Luxman M10X and now have both the M10X and an @aricaudio 300B pset. I’m chose it the 300b almost every time for just that better midrange vocals. I could not believe the M10X could be approved on but I’m leaning on ev... | |
| Tube Integrated Amp Recommendation +plus one @aricaudio https://aricaudio.com/tube_gear.php | |
| Cary vs Raven If your choice is leaning forward tube amps do yourself a favor and a take a few seconds to look at @aricaudio. I could not be more satisfied with the sound, look and customer service. Take a look at my profile pic. | |
| Help With New Preamp Decision @jc4659 Thank you for the kind remarks! Aric gets an A+ for customer service as well. I have over 50 emails to him and he returned everyone of them. I had so many questions because I was brand new to tubes and he took the time to make sure I kne... | |
| Help With New Preamp Decision I am extremely pleased with my @aricaudio Motherload XL! Take a look at my system pics. It is replacing a $15k Luxman c900 preamp. The 300B Pset amp is a winner as well! | |
| Tube preamp for pass labs ? @mesch Focal Sopra 3 | |
| Tube preamp for pass labs ? @mesch The motherlode XL and Custom 300B Pset My plan is to have the motherland go to both the 300B and my Luxman M10X. At least until I decide the M10X is not needed.😁 | |
| Tube preamp for pass labs ? @mesch https://aricaudio.com/tube_gear.php I have some amps coming! | |
| How long does it take your tube amp to warm up? @ozzy62 So your Aric warms up fast? | |
| Aric Audio and my system @ozzy62 What preamp are you using now with your super 300b? I have been emailing back and forth with Aric regarding the custom 300b. I'll will most likely go with his Custom 6SN7 Linestagebut was wonder what others might be using. | |
| Best RCA interconnect up to ~$100? Custom You can chose every component. I just had some balanced interconnects made with solid silver and the exact XLR connectors that are in my Luxman amp. still kept it under $150. His builds are so well put together I’ve almost entirely switc... |
