| Musings of a Budget Audiophile I believe you should stick to your plan. Don't worry, be happy:). If anything you might keep an eye out for a DAC upgrade. Be in no hurry. I bet your Pathos is a great fit with the Focals. I once own the Classic One MKII. A beautiful piece,... | |
| SET Shootout China VS The USA I really enjoy this thread. Been introduced about many tubes that I have not known existed before and learned things about those familiar with. Compared to many herein I have limited experience with tube amplification having introduced myself to t... | |
| Classic, Cult, Affordable Class A Solid-State Amplifiers: Bedini, Forte, BEL I once own the BEL 1001 MK5. Was made in 2007 two years prior to Mr. Browns death. Never should have sold it. | |
| Vincent integrated amplifiers. I'd be grateful for your experience. I also once own a Vincent integrated. The SV-226MK, a 100wpc model. Loved that amplifier. As big_gred stated it was neutral leaning to the warm side. Produces a great soundstage. What speakers are you driving and in what size room? There is a l... | |
| Need help choosing a new DAC Congrats on your purchase of the AM Tubadour . I truly enjoy mine. | |
| 2022 Audio System Wish List and thoughts about streaming May get that Node streamer I intended to purchase last year. | |
| Best "Bang for the Buck" you have owned? @jjss49 Yes, I figured. As a cure for for those afflected with that 60Hz hum, would have to be 'best bang for under a buck', shockingly so. Hope your holiday season is going well, as well. | |
| Best "Bang for the Buck" you have owned? @jjss49 Thanks! Much of the enjoyment has to do with the B&W 685s which to my ears sound wonderful under the open air environment. I believe the balance between bass and treble is improved. The 100wpc provided by the 701 delivers the volume ... | |
| Best "Bang for the Buck" you have owned? Well I have a secondary system that I set up on the back deck for open air listening. I set it up yesterday as it was 70+ degrees in southern Illinois. I am always impressed with the experience, tuneful, dynamic, great sound stage and imaging. I v... | |

| The Audiophile's Wife no longer putting it out? @grannyring Your wife must be a hoot to live with! Love the prose, truly a great read. | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver I have heard the Devore O/93s driven by a Line Magnetic 845 amplifier. Loved the presentation. One speaker I would love to hear is the Daedalus Muse. Seems to be a great fit for my room and electronics though at this time not so much so for my w... | |
| DAC w Tube itch: Audio Mirror Yes, there are better DACs having tube output stages than the AM which is priced between $1500 and $2500 depending on internals (mine was $1960) however they come at a much higher price. As always, depends on budget and rest of system. | |
| NAD C316BEE V2/Subwoofer dilemma… The high impedance of the subs internal amplifier allows for use of the NAD speaker outputs for the sub as well as for the main speakers. | |
| Multichannel power amplifers VS 2 channel power amplifiers @deep_333 I was thinking 2-channel for music and multi for video. Why wouldn't a receiver work for the center as well for the rear channels. |
