| Decware Sarah 300B Amp? I just cancelled my Sarah order after 1.5 years of waiting. Kept an eye on the watchlist and the wait kept extending. Latest estimate by calculation was 3.5 year total wait time. Nuts. My needs changed so I moved on. I was fortunate to have pl... | |
| Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review "This turntable is gorgeous—its plinth is made from MDF wrapped in 2¼”-thick American walnut" This is about where I stopped trusting the author. Details matter as does critical thinking. It appears he combined different sections of SOTA's websi... | |
| Finally...subwoofer that's aesthetically pleasing! $750K and the subs are passive. What a day we live in. But whoever buys these doesn't even care as value is not even close to a consideration. | |
| Room Treatment suppliers https://www.acoustimac.com I have ordered from this company several times over many years. They have consistently delivered well constructed and nicely finished products and have exhibited superb customer service when panels have arrived damaged... | |
| Bought a system without auditioning, thoughts? New KLH Model 7 speakers coming out soon can be placed near front wall and should match well with your Pass as well. | |
| New to Preamp - Preamp suggestion around 10k I haven't heard it myself, but am interested in knowing how many would consider a BAT VK-80 to have a slight bit of warmth the OP is inquiring about. | |
| What to try? @laecp123 I didn't say the Pathos was lifeless; I said it was anemic in my system. My room is well treated which typically allows the music to expand well beyond the speakers and with the Pathos the sound almost entirely between the speakers. So... | |
| What to try? I have had at various times in my room a Pathos Classic One MkII, Willsenton R8, Muzishare X7, Decware Zen TORII Mkiii and an LM 218ia. The Decware was simply awesome. I loved the LM as it gave spooky realistic "performer in the room" imaging. ... | |
| Best Basic CD Player (no SACD, USB, etc.) +1 Rotel CD11 Tribute. For the money it has been terrific for me. | |
| GIK alternatives I have bought more than 15 panels from Acoustimac over a 10 year period. Their products have great finish/build quality and represent good value. The only issue is that I have had a couple of panels arrive damaged. Some of these cases seem more... | |
| Electric feedback from water circulation pump Unfortunately this issue has not been resolved. I put a large capacitor into the pump controller to absorb back feed which helped only a little. I then bought a Shunyata power conditioner which has helped though not completely. So I try to li... | |
| Looking for a speaker for my LM 845 Premium I had a 211 based LM amp (LM-218) that paired extremely well with Omega Super Alnico Towers. Loved the sound... miss the sound; wish I had held onto them. Likely very different from Tekton. | |
| Need preamp recommendation I traded in my LTA preamp for Pass XP-20 and haven’t looked back. The Pass has much better body, spatial separation, and detail with significantly lower self-noise IMHO. | |

| Best tube preamplifier for under $15k @jahatl513I am glad you are pleased with your LTA microZOTL. I think it is a fine preamp, but in my situation it was not the best fit. Different strokes for different folks. And our natural variability in preference and hearing make for an even... |
