| Have I Found the Holy Grail of Audio Systems? My Surprising Discovery I don’t think most here would call that setup “modest”. Congrats on making it all come together. | |
| Nowhere to hear speakers and amps anymore! @hchilcoat Thanks for posting that. I am two hours west of Richmond. I will definitely check out that place next time I’m in the area. | |
| Tubes, tone, and old age. FWIW, when a speaker or piece of equipment is perceived as bright, it is not the high frequencies but the upper midrange that is troublesome. | |
| Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw? @cycles2 I don’t have a dog in this fight since I have no intention of buying a pair of these speakers. That said I did buy X3s from Clayton a few years ago, which are long gone now. The transaction was trouble free and I believe Clayton to be a... | |

| Linlai KT88 experience? @donsachs Have you heard the Linlai 300B tubes, and if so, what is your opinion? | |
| Ideas for Pre/Power $9000? @coltrane1 I beg to differ. Metal sounds quite good on my system. At least the metal that’s recorded well. And there is some like that. Check out any Tool album for reference. | |

| Focal Sopra n1 - mids are a bit recessed compared to Lumina IIs @deep_333 Such bull s$&t | |
