| After 50 years, I have finally found my destination amps... AGD Audions! What parts are used specifically the GaNFET which is patented. As stated, like Nelson Pass and the SITs. Although I don’t believe Nelson has a patent on SITs. | |
| Looking for an amp that punches way about its weight and I can grow with tvadIt was a transition process for me moving away from decades of 300B and 45 SETs. First I had to focus on why so many love their SS. Ultimately, my understanding of SS sounding like or better than SET concluded that there was, at that time, onl... | |
| Best dac under $2500 - comparing build quality and technologies Deciding to up my headphone system, I just got a Schiit Yggdrasil.I was dubious since I was using a $20K tube DAC. I was floored by the Yggy! Incredible punch and detail. The tube DAC has a more subtle, romantic sound but the Yggy is not offensive... | |
| Looking for an amp that punches way about its weight and I can grow with AGD Audion mono blocks. Unlike any amp I have heard. 170 watts into 4 ohms 85 into 8. They are so transparent, distortion free, detailed and liquid they punch way high. Maybe best there is regardless of price. Comes with a long trial period. I did... | |

MbolekI run an analog only system through Tetra 606 speakers.(91db 6ohms minimal)My front end is a Woodsong Garrard 301, Triplanar arm, Lyra Atlas SL cartridge and Atma-Sphere MP-1 preamp.RalphNot sure I understand.

| NAT amps - Any thoughts? I spoke with Mike Powell about the $8K integrated. He told me that he sells it for $6K. Hearing it on YouTube, we both agreed that it is superb. It certainly has the big NAT sound just less power.With Mike’s discount, I would go for the silver tra... | |
| Jumper wires/ cable suggestions Correction-Fideliums won the Product of the Decade not Century | |
| Jumper wires/ cable suggestions Just given “Product of the Century”, Silversmith Fidelium speaker cables. I replaced $6K cables with $1200 Fideliums. The old cables are now junk. When bi amping, you should use two pair of cables. No jumpers.Yes, bi amping properly is with two id... | |
| NAT amps - Any thoughts? I believe that that NAT amp is excellent. Just very hot.Check out the ocd HiFi guy, Mike Powell Audio, on YouTube.He is the importer of NAT and has a few videos where you can really hear them with good headphones. Of note is that NAT makes an inte... | |
| Sell Me Your Women, Your Children, Your Vintage Turntable... MC, how do you come up with all these YouTubes? | |
| What Are Your Reference Discs? or Specific Reference Tracks There is no question that the few Better-Records I have are head and shoulders above any others.But I just got Donald Fagan Nightfly 180g German LP from Amazon that is probably the best regular record I have. I judge my favorite recordings by SQ. ... | |
| Does Steely Dan sound bright to you? Just listened to Donald Fagan Nightfly on a German 180g vinyl from Amazon. Wow, sound close to a Better-Records Hot Stamper!This is my second copy and the other one is not great. | |
| Tube vs. Solid State Amplifiers It would be hard to find a more dedicated tube guy. For decades, all I wanted to listen to was SETs. 300B and 45. Nothing was more musical and enjoyable. Nothing until AGD. I don’t miss the SET sound at all. In fact, I will never go back to tubes ... | |
| Sell Me Your Women, Your Children, Your Vintage Turntable... “Sell me your children”!I don’t get it | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? The Tetra 606s are 91db and 6 ohms minimal.Think that the Audions well power them. But IME, all speakers like more power. And, I think, the Gran Vivace also has noticeably fuller sound that takes things to a different level. Although I also think ... |
