I particularily appreciate your thoughts as you and I share, I think, somewhat similar t... | |
| Best Tubed Preamp For A Warm, Rich Sound, Yet Still Detailed and Agile The amplifier that I will be using the preamp with is superb, but not well known, which is why I failed to mention it earlier. It is the Wells Audio Innamorata, which is single ended with an amplifier input impedance of 50k ohms. | |

| Which Amplifier for Sonus Faber Olympica 3 Speaker I'm now in the same position as the OP, having just purchased a pair of new Olympica 3's, on a great, year end deal from a dealer that badly needed to move some product. So now I need an amp too. markmendenhall, can you describe a bit more about t... | |
| PSB T3 Owners - Tell Me About Your Speakers - Considering Purchase - Can't Demo Them itzhak,You are absolutely correct. The 300 would not be correct for my size room, and the salesman dutifully pointed out that the PL200 II would be the proper speaker. And again, they were still too analytical for my tastes. I am surprised to hear... | |
| PSB T3 Owners - Tell Me About Your Speakers - Considering Purchase - Can't Demo Them Itzhak, I pent some significant time auditioning the more expensive Monitor Audio PL300ii earlier this week. They didn't have the PL200ii in stock but told me that, per the manufacturers rep, the two speakers had virtually the same sound. Very nic... | |

| Best 845 Tubes For Art Audio Carissa? I would ideally like to go with the Psvane TII or the Shuguang Natural Sound 845T, but again, need to be sure they are comnpatiable with the amplifier. | |

| trying to reach Art Audio..... are they gone ? Mattzack2 Were you able to reach Joe Fratus? I lost touch with him, and Art Audio some time ago. Now they seem to have disappeared completely.I have a Carissa Signature (with some enhancements) and couldn't agree with you more. Fabulous amplifier! | |
| Primaluna DiaLogue Premium preamp "I am also thinking about changing the rectifiers. I got the message from Kevin that using the Philips 5R4GYS isn't automatically an upgrade. It is warmer. The preamp is so perfect stock I don't know if I want to take a chance. I suppose I could k... | |
| Best Option In A Silver CD/SACD Player $1k Or Less Okay, so let me get this straight, my audio system has completely monopolized the living room in what was originally HER house, for the past two years. And now she asks for ONE thing, and that makes me a pushover? | |
| Beware Olive owners The CD drive in my 4HD died and I was informed me that it is a long discontinued part, and none are available. | |
| Best External Drive To Rip A Lot Of CD's with? If Tidal had even a fraction of the music I own available, possibly, but they don't. |
