| If money was and was not of any concern when buying speakers. I would have several and an environmentally controlled locker to keep them in. | |
| Does measurements really matter? Many measurements should matter to anyone putting together an audio system. Many issues arise do to incompatibilities between components. What comprises a good outcome is mostly subjective. | |
| Just got some AudioEngine A5+ speaker and they blow my mind Yes, while I have a headphone system, I only use it late at night when other are sleeping. The spacial qualities of a well set up speaker system is IMO a superior experience. | |
| ***Education On Separates*** +1 yogiboy. Though with digital front ends one can have too much output from a high gain preamp (too much voltage over the sensitivity measurement of the amplifier). Another thought, the amps under consideration are quite different in their abil... | |
| Western Electric looking for consumer feedback to make new tubes Thanks, I submitted the survey. | |
| Interesting Setup - At least in my eyes Seems to me too many gain stages in the signal path. Only to be attenuated. | |
| Speaker positioning: why do audiophiles neglect this so much? I can't believe that many audiophiles haven't considered speaker placement as important. Jim Smith wrote a valuable book. I own a copy. Great food for thought for someone making their 1st serious investment in home audio. Provides a focus towar... | |
| Question about Class A @jay73 Sorry I missed the requested info. I would listen to the Sudgen for a while. Let it break in. Let yourself adjust to it. After some 100 hours swap back the Vincent. Then revisit your thoughts. | |
| Best Integrated/Control Amp for less than $5000 So many integrated amplifiers for under 5K that would best the Hafler combination. The question is which ones play best with your speakers towards your sonic preferences. | |
| Question about Class A Unless I missed it, nowhere herein did you state the other components of your system. Remember you are listening to a system, not a single component. I would not involve a switch box. Listen to the Sugden for a while. Then replace with the Vince... | |
| I miss my Loudness Button and Tone Controls.... Yes, the Schiit Loki serves a tone control and as a variable loudness control. $160. | |
| Tried just my DAC as Preamp and started something. I would listen to the DAC/amp combo for a while then switch back to use of the pre. Don't be too quick to interpret change to a different sonic experience be viewed as an improvement, just different. | |
| Electro-Harmonix/New Sensor bad news and a saving grace... Thanks for this Aric! Will remain in contact. | |
| Bookshelf speakers with a tube amp? +1Russ69. Last night I listened to my Aric Audio Transcend amp with a quad of KT120s running in ultralinear producing 40wpc driving my Esoteric MG10s. The MGs are a 6ohm speaker that drops below 4 ohms at one point in the frequency range, also ra... | |
| Ifi Zen Streamer plus upgraded power supply - the streamer to beat?? This thread has been valuable to me, thanks! I also am interested in the iFi stream however having a screen would seem useful. I've been researching streaming devices and recently procured a Qobuz subscription and playing it through my new apple... |
