| Tube Vs. SS Preamps Very true, even though many products measure perfectly they all sound different. I have three preamps in front of me. All pretty good , they have their own character and presentation of the. music. From personal experience these differences... | |
| Best "Bang for the Buck" you have owned? If you asked me last week I would have said, and probably said in the past my Quicksilver Mid Monos are the best bang for the buck. Great amps, awesome value new....incredible value used like I bought mine for $1050 However I just replaced my ... | |
| What are the sexiest components ever made? My Zesto Leto preamp is sexy as hell !!!! It's all bizness in the back though.....sounds as beautiful as it looks, maybe even more. | |
| Tube Line Stage around $5k Thanks. I hate throwing all kinds of superlatives around, but it really is as good as Stereophile, TAS, Positive Feedback and others have said. Its so lifelike , you get a sense of the recording space. Unreal. Hard to believe it was si... | |
| Moving away from inefficient/low impedance speaker in order to move to a Tube Amp I'm driving my Forte IV with 40 watts of EL34 power in a smallish to medium room and its plenty of power . It was plenty of power for my Revel M106 too as long as you didn't want to crank it too loud. Not the best pairing but sounded great at n... | |
| Tube Line Stage around $5k Received the Zesto Leto and have been listening a few days. Incredible sounding, dynamic but has great detail, rhythm and pace. Actually sounds like I got a whole new system, it's staggering. I needed a little help from Zesto and they are... | |
| Tube Vs. SS Preamps This week I replaced my c-j Classic 2SE with a Zesto Leto preamp and the difference was not subtle. It was staggering. Having that component in my system has cemented my belief all along that the preamp is the most important link in the chain... | |
| Headphones vs full range speakers I only use headphones on rare occasion. I've got a nice Quicksilver headphone amp, grado rs2e, Klipsch HP3 and while they are good for private listening , they don't come close to a quality set of speakers and amplification. Good headphone ri... | |
| Help, which preamp to buy from my shortlist? I have a Sonic Frontiers SFL-1 I bought as a back up / maybe for another room.... When they came out I was newly married, kid, house, and all the bills that went with....so fast forward 25 years and I bought one for a good price. Great preamp for... | |
| Need Wired Ethernet Access but Noisy Extender I had noise with a Netgear ethernet over AC. The TP Link works better and is dead quiet in my setup with Vault 2i | |
| Bryston Preamps - What do they sound like? A good preamp shouldn't "sound" like anything..... add nothing, detract nothing. | |
| ProAc Response 2: CJ CAV45, Cary SEI 300B, or Cary Rocket 88? Only one I have heard is the CAV 45.....it is a great sounding amp. Of those brands I like C-J the most.... | |
| New Klipsch Forte IV That was a wise move with the Forte over the Heresy.. I like the Heresy but the Forte rocks and doesn't need a sub | |
| VAC and Kevin Hayes are totally unresponsive. What's up with that? VAC was at Capital Audio Fest so maybe they have just been flat out. I don't know if you've ever been an exhibitor at an audio show but it takes months of prep. Try them through FaceBook or Instagram maybe there's some firewall issue. I hate so... | |
| Suggestions for high efficiency speakers? I love my Forte IV. They are the perfect fit for my living space right now. Down the road I would like something larger but I really love them. They sound huge . But they handle all types of music well. I am waiting on a 300b. Amp for them an... |
