| What's the best EL84 amp? I recently acquired a custom Aric Audio EL84 amp and must say I am mightily impressed. And I have owned an RM-10 II as well. The Aric Audio amp has that special midrange magic of the EL84, but brings bass depth and dynamics to the table. | |
| Lush and Romantic Tube Amps Cary SLI-80 Signature. It doesn’t get much more lush than that, if that’s yer thing…. As for VAC, the only one I’ve heard was the PA 100/100. It was about as far from tubey as you could get. I’ve owned many SS amps that sounded more like a tub... | |
| Audio people you've had contact with that proved to be good people. Aric @ Aric Audio - A real gentleman who is always eager to help. I’ve owned two of his amps and bought both on the used market. He was responsive to my queries even though I didn’t spend my $$ with him. Arek @ Hattor Audio - I bought one of his ... | |

| Help this old rookie with speakers kokakolia 191 posts 07-18-2023 at 03:23am Buy Klipsch or JBL if you can. The resale value is so high. You can buy a used pair of speakers, use them for 10 years and turn a tiny profit by re-selling them. The brand image is insanely high. Ca... | |
| External DAC? Me thinks you zigged when you should have zagged. I had to look twice to make sure I wasn’t in the digital forum. | |
| Conrad Johnson Classic 120se vs. Cary Audio Design CAD120 MKII? I have no experience with those two particular amps. But in the past I’ve owned a Cary SLP-98 and and SLI-80 Signature. I’ve also owned CJ Premiere 17LS and a Premiere 140. As I type this I’m listening to a loaner MV-60. I much prefer the modern ... | |

| Recommendations for against the wall high efficiency speakers @ghdprentice The actual flaw was referring to speakers of 90 db efficiency and a nominal four ohm load as “high sensitivity”. I’m sure you agree. | |
| What was the craziest location that you made an audio purchase from? I bought a pair of McCormack DNA1 delux monoblocks from Echo Audio while I was on my honeymoon in 2006. | |
| Recommendations for against the wall high efficiency speakers You, my friend, are wound up tighter than Dick’s hat band. Yes, it’s a typo. Hence, a flaw. Don’t let it keep you up at night. And no, 90 db is not high efficiency. It’s ok, not the end of the world. Thicker skin is surely required if you want to... | |
| Recommendations for against the wall high efficiency speakers @grislybutter Please post a link to that LaScala AK6. thanks in advance….. | |
| Recommendations for against the wall high efficiency speakers @grislybutter Your list is flawed. There is no such thing as a LaScala AK6. And I don’t think many here would consider 90 db as high efficiency. That’s more like average. | |
