| Amplifier considerations, PrmaLuna EVO 400 versus ARC Reference 160 S. Is ARC worth it? Prima Luna is Chinese junk and the worst amps I ever heard. Line magnetic was better for chi fi. audio research is junk for American tubes and cheaply made as well. look into VAC and VTL. | |
| The Snob Appeal Premium @ronboco The Boulder is decent. The Modwright has a little bit bigger power transformer and tube preamp is going to give it a slightly wider and deeper sound stage. If you upgrade to a Lampizator Baltic 4 I can help you get into one that will be a... | |
| The Snob Appeal Premium @ronboco New Sonus Faber Aida is great! Rockport as well makes amazing speakers. On tubes…Preamp/DAC with tubes won’t cook the room. A tube power amp you can roast marshmallows on and if you like Rockport you will need a solid state output. My Mod... | |

| The Snob Appeal Premium OK I don’t want to insult you, but you really did listen to a lot of cheaper mdf partial board or wooden speakers. These sound like boxes. B&W is kind of bottom or the Barrel with Dynaudio and KEF and all that stuff and is lower tier. Good sp... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers Sitting On Dual Subs? Do you have any idea how many extra resonances you create in Speakers by wiggling them around on a sub? iso stands are rubber and springs and wiggling jiggle | |
| Magico's M9 @brianlucey A5 is entry level and at 25k there’s only about $5000 left to build the speakers in terms of manufacturing. There’s just not enough meat of the bones. | |
| concrete (cinder) block tower with wood chopping block for turntable stand All junk! Fill box with sand…rest a wood panel on top of sand add turntable on top! | |
| Wilson Sasha V Well the good thing about Wilson is they hold resale value well. The Sasha DAW is more colored than the Sasha V. I was not impressed with the DAW & went to a YG instead.The Sasha V is more neutral with a much more natural midrange and more sp... | |
