| Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby? I am done. Happy with my setup and sound I get from it. From here on, archiving noticeable improvement would really cost arms and legs for me and not worth the cost. | |
| Linear Tube Audio - Micro ZOTL - version -3 Update on upgrades Are you keeping the LTA pre if you get the 300 - so still using the LTA as pre and 300 for amp? Not sure if 300 can disable volume control or not | |
| Looking for an AMP to match JA Pulsar and Lampi I have LTA pre, Pass x250.8, and JA Perspective2s. Solid combo Imo. | |
| Linear Tube Audio Micro ZOTL - Version -3 in-depth upgrade information Ok. That's good to know. Thanks @audioman58 | |
| Linear Tube Audio Micro ZOTL - Version -3 in-depth upgrade information I use psvane cv181t mkii. Are rays better than the psvanes? | |
| Linear Tube Audio Micro ZOTL - Version -3 in-depth upgrade information That's awesome. I see new preamps coming out and they look fancy from outside but look at the inside, I am quickly noticing where the money went to. Clearly it's not the parts because some of these units have almost no parts and for what's there i... | |
| Linear Tube Audio Micro ZOTL - Version -3 in-depth upgrade information As the level 2 preamp owner, I keenly wait for your impression on the upgrade @audioman58 . Hope that the upgrade brings a new joy to your listing pleasure. I still enjoy the preamp but most likely I will upgrade too. I like the company and the pr... | |
| Holo Audio May KTE vs DCS Rossini Player / Clock I believe the May KTE has a slightly warmer tone in general, which is a common trait of R2R DACs. Its performance can range from average to spectacular, depending on how it is used. The best results I’ve achieved—my current setup—are with NOS mode... | |
| Adding a tube amp is a good idea? @lucky_doggg7 thanks for taking time posting your response. Jeff Joseph thinks that the amp would sound pretty good. He demos the speakers using Dosh tube amp with smiliar power. I also heard the previous version of the speakers with EAR V12 ... | |
| Adding a tube amp is a good idea? Fantastic, thanks @ghdprentice | |
| What is your favorite budget streamer? I really do not think anything ~$1000 can beat Holo Audio Red. If one is willing to spend extra money on high performance cables and fuse, Red can perform way above based on my experience. | |
| Looking for my End Game Speaker @calgarian5355 - JA Perspective 2 owner here. Before buying my speakers, I seriously considered Gershman Acoustics 30th Anniversary Grand Avant Garde. My last experience with the Gershman speakers at the Toronto Audio Fest this month. Again, the... | |
| New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid My pick would be Joseph Audio Perl. Kharmas are also dynamic with a good authority. Dynaudio confidence 50 should be also very good. I would look YG or Rockport over Wilson or BW. Later brands looks beautiful but the sound never moved me. | |
| Backert Labs Rhumba 1.3 vs Extreme @bluethinker - I rolled the output tubes. I tried Electroharmonix 6sn7 and PSVANE 6sn7. Both produce clean / transparent sound. I currently use PSVANE as it sounds more organic and a tad softer upper freq. The big surprise came from fuse change. I... | |
| Differences between Harbeth, Spendor, Graham, etc. ? I had Falcon LS3/5a Gold Badge. It has pretty impressive imaging, mid range, and tonality but it cannot match those qualities of the Joseph Audio Perspective2 which I currently own. |
