| Interim SS Amp - Likely Candidates? Exploring Class D sounds like it checks all your boxes. Many Class D come in smaller forms, produce way less heat. There are some great options for newer designed class D amps that address stereotypical issues / sound signatures associated with ... | |
| Moving to Tube Separates or Tube Integrated + Phono Aric Audio builds great Tube gear and can customize builds, all tube gear. LTA (Linear Tube Audio makes outstanding Tube Gear. Both make Integrated Units, those would be my go to’s. If you want simplicity, really easy maintenance Primaluna via ... | |
| Buyer Beware I should have visited Mad Scientists site, I can see the OP’s point on pricing. Just looked at their USB cable options, wow those are some insanely expensive cables. That said, their site is transparent in this is a side hustle for an Audiophile.... | |
| Buyer Beware OP tackles at least 2 or 3 very different topics along with leaving it open for interpretation on what the title of his post means. Appears he wanted to alert the Audiogon community of potential compatibility issues you could run into with US... | |
| Picking a power amp The Klipsch and Sonus Faber are really different sound signature speakers, in general, really depends on what sounds good to you. Sonus Faber tend to need more power, have a warmer sound, Horns are way more efficient, crisp sounding. If ther is ... | |
| Seeking a Tube preamplifier I’ve had a Zesto Pre and PS Audio BHK, both are great. LTA and Aric though would be where I’d go. Both use top of the line parts and have exceptional know how when it comes to design, implementation. If I switch up my Pre it will be a touch dec... | |
| Have JBL K2s...best Amp pairing please? Awesome speakers. I’d add Coda, Krell to the list. The Coda # 16 is within your budget, it ain’t cheap but you would have to spend at least 2x to get the same build quality. Think it would land right in your sweet spot for the sound signature y... | |
| Coda vs Parasound It’s really hard to beat Coda. Auditory though he’s a dealer and that might make him biased provided some great info on Coda. If you like their sound signature, which Auditory did a good job describing, build quality, quality of parts combined w... | |
| Need to learn about Audio Research @traudio you have some great equipment. The Hegel is a great integrated. I agree that it is likely silly to put a tube pre in front of it but if you are already planning on going the separates route, you might by the pre first, try it, might sur... | |
| No love for Cube Audio speakers? Your pricing and expectations seem fair. The freight is brutal and will likely eat away at your sales price. I’ve got 2 pieces of gear listed and have gotten plenty of offers but all low ball offers. The are Preamps so freight isn’t that big an... | |
| Preamplifier options - seeking help to determine which one I’d reach out to Yamamoto to see which Pre they recommend pairing with your amplifier. Synergy should be great with both but they may have designed one of them to specifically pair with your amp. The double volume sounds like it’s a different la... | |
| My Denafrips Aries 15th has too much mid -bass, anybody else?? @richardbrand confused, the DAC is a R2R latter design. Nothing wrong with that many love the sound signature. The design is an older design known for its natural, warm, analogue, tube like sound. The Denafrips has the full suite of options, ou... | |
| My Denafrips Aries 15th has too much mid -bass, anybody else?? Speaker placement and adjusting gain / crossover settings on your sub are great advice and the first place to start. Comments on the design difference between DAC’s are spot on, R2R will have a very different sound signature vs those with newer c... | |
| Tube Pre/ Class D Amp - Who has done it? I’ve tried Primaluna, Zesto, PS Audio BHK Pre (Hybrid Tube) with SS amps, class D included. If you get the gain matched correctly, works really well, blending some of the tube magic with some of the attributes of SS / Class D. Exciting to watch ... | |
| I’m considering upgrading my speakers internal wiring You’ve gotten great advice. I’d call and talk to Peter, in this hobby owners / builders, designers will often give candid, great advice on their products. Not across the board but more often than in most industries. If you have that itch, you w... |
