| Garbage In Garbage out Do you really think Mark Levinson, a man well into his 70's, can intentify the differences between tape masters and hi res digital in blind testing? No and he'd never be fool enough to try and prove his claims. Lots of opinions out there but ver... | |
| $50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please. @toddcowles The advice was general, nothing specific to you personally and it wasn't an invitation for a financial debate. I am in the business of wealth building so your comments touched a nerve. I can't tell you how many clients I've worked wit... | |
| Looking for an Amp Replacement For back ground music/lower volumes all of these amps will sound exactly the same. Seriously, you will not be able to pick them apart blind with any statistically significant confidence. The lowest cost suggestion is the one you should go with. ... | |
| $50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please. This thread is absolute madness. From a financial point of view you should not be "saving up" for a system, at least not in the traditional sence, I will expand upon that in a bit. This is a hobby, a complely unnecessary indulgence. You should be ... | |
| speaker recommendations for Ayre V-5xe? I’m settled on speakers but trying to figure out the amp, so go with the Dynaudio Heritage because I’m curious on how they’d pair with Ayer. Oh and because the Dyn’s are amazing. Also a suffering Rangers fan that lives in Florida so I feel your pa... | |
| Pass INT-25 better than Wilsenton R8? Most of the people on this forum wouldn’t be able to form an opinion about a piece of gear without knowing the price. Not many take an objective approach or blind test even when they know that they can’t be objective. It’s is what it is folks. Th... | |
| Dynaudio Heritage + Gold Note IS-1000 Deluxe I’ve used the Linn Classik, Supernait 2, Supernait 2 w/ Sim Audio W3 as the amp, and a Willsenton R8. The only one that struggled was the Linn, but even that sounded great until you start pushing peaks over 90. The tube amp sounds great even in ... | |
| Vitus RI-101 mkII cables recommendation I’m guessing you are dealing with serious buyers remorse over the amount you’ve spent, the last thing you want to do is toss another 4-5k into cables. You already have great cables. The Vitus is probably awesome, I have’t haven’t heard it persona... | |
| Thinking about another amplifier (Galion) Wow that’s pretty cool of Thomas to offer a home trial. How does it sound, is it a keeper? | |
| amp upgrade Unfortunately part of your issue is the speakers. Some don’t really wake up until higher volume. My Dynaudio Contours (original series) are like that. They love the juice. I recently got the Heritage Specials and have been shocked at how great t... | |
| Rogue Audio. Reliability issues? Anyone? @Robotron I think it’s just bad luck, I doubt you’ll have issues going forward, if there was a design issue w the amp it would be common knowledge by now. I hope things go smoothly after you get the amp back, the sound is worth it. Regarding powe... | |
| Amplifier for Totem Forest I second the suggestion of Sim Audio. Not only did Totem commonly use Sim components to demo their speakers, they actually collaborated on an integrated amp called the Totem Amber which was built by Sim Audio. Full disclosure, I currently have... | |
| What to try? @maganga The Willsenton R8 is poorly constructed? What a blantant and biased lie. You’ve obviously never seen one in person so don’t comment on gear you’ve never experienced. The Muzishare you seemed to enjoy comes from the same factory btw, along... | |
| Thinking about another amplifier (Galion) I agree with the previous comments, you'll be giving up too much in areas where your current amp excels for some extra bass, which might not even be that noticible considering you are already using a sub. I'd tinker with the sub to get the bass r... | |
| Musical Fidelity m2si or Parasound Newclassic 200 for Dynaudio Emit 20's Keep saving until you can get into the $1000-1500 range where there are much better options. Find a used Linn Classik to hold you over for a few hundred dollars. Great match with Dynaudio and provides a taste of higher end gear . The other two a... |
