| Best Audio Writing of 2017? There aren't any that I dislike. Herb is a great writer but I don't necessarily trust his opinion as he never has a bad thing to say about anything. In writing and also gear I identify most with Art Dudley. He played a small part in making me the ... | |
| Amp recommendation for KEF LS50 I second robr45. Having owned both the wireless is vastly superior in every regard. | |
| KEF LS50 Wireless -- wow!!! I stream it from my mac in the other room via Bluetooth. | |
| KEF LS50 Wireless -- wow!!! I had a pair of the original LS 50's which were merely ok. I now have the powered wireless versions and they rock. I use them as background music about the house. They're in a living room that's 30'x20" with 20 foot ceilings and they will shake wi... | |
| Shindo Labs Amps and Preamps Muzikat - I can't speak your experiences but that's not entirely true. I bought my Montrachet amp here on A-Gon and it arrived DOA. Johnathan H. the importer worked with me via phone and email trying numerous different things. When all failed he a... | |
| Magic Moments in listening Eva Cassidy "People Get Ready" from Live at Blues Alley. Recorded shortly after she was diagnosed with terminal cancer. When she sings "I'm getting ready" I lose it every time on cue. | |
| How to identify an mondial aragon 8008 amp from an 8008BB Easy, the BB version is heavier due to the dual transformers and has rca in's as well as balanced. It's also the version you want unless you jump up to the palladiums. | |
| What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience? Fentanyl when I listen to Prince or Michael Jackson otherwise 1990 Latour. | |

| Used amp recommendation How about an Aragon 4004 to match your pre? There's one listed now at 1/2 your budget. I've had Aragon and Acurus is the past and was always pleased with them. | |
| Which HEAD-AMP: Audeze, Burson, Marantz? I originally used a peach tree decco, but it just didn't have the oomph to drive my hungry Senn 650's. I ended getting a WA-6 tube head-amp from Woo Audio and what a difference. Worth looking into. | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable Taters, you'll never find a consensus in what may be THE most polarizing topic in HiFi. I'm not hear to beat the drum for either camp, but my two cents - Cable costs should be proportionate to the overall system cost. Case in point: Last year I wa... | |
| Shindo? I run a full Shindo system, which is how it's been designed - pre - amp - cables etc... in a linked chain. Many feel (self included) that the Shindo's pre amps are the "heart" of the system. As you climb the line they just get better and better, w... |
