| Any other AQ Dragonfly Early Adopters out there? Great if you can use your internal disk instead of external. The Dragonfly manual recommends using a different Bus if you are going to attach an external HD. Specifically, use a firewire for your HD and USB for your DAC. | |

| Best speakers for a Leak Stereo 20 tube amp I've heard it sound very good on Klipsch Fortes. I've also heard that the preamp isn't that special sounding. Try a different preamp... | |
| audiophilleo 2 I'm curious how it compares to an Offramp5, stock or improved. Any one have any first hand knowledge? | |
| Quietest fan for room Put your amps in a different room! Or get a summer pair of amplifiers. Or drink iced gin and tonics. | |
| Where do you go after a Dynaudio C1 ? My experience with the G1 had them sounding just as you are looking for. What amplification are you using? I heard them with GamuT monoblocks in a small-medium room that had concrete walls (good bass) and some treatment to tame reflections. I was ... | |
| Bias CAT JL2 + Tube swap 6550C = KT120 They can take the KT120's, per my recent conversation with Ken. Not cheap. I think it should be 30, and that 29 to 31 is no problem. I don't know about biasing the tubes to zero. If you contact me - same user name on audiocircle, I can give you mo... | |
| Hearing Tests My hearing is pretty flat up to 10khz and then falls drastically upwards. I can't hear 12khz at all. Would have never guessed that. Lower frequencies are also impaired. I figure my Sennheiser 580's can reach the extremes. | |

| Best tubed full-function preamp with remote VAC has all these things. If it doesn't have to be tube, Ayre K1XE is really good. | |
| Herron VTSP1A comparison to CAT Ultimate MKII Did you notice that someone is selling an ultimate II here on the 'gon for not so much money? Converted up from an ultimate I. | |
| Ayre V-5xe/K-5xeMP or Modwright KWA-150/LS-100? Also, both companies offer top notch customer service. You can't go wrong in that department with either. | |
| a solid state amp that is recessed in the treble I have the Quad 57's in a "second system", and haven't wanted to spend to much on other components. After reviewing the experience of others, I found that the VTL Tiny Triodes pair very well (tube amps), and the Bedini 25/25 pairs well for solid s... | |
| Ayre V-5xe/K-5xeMP or Modwright KWA-150/LS-100? I've had both brands in my system. Overall impression: both excellent. Ayre more truth to delicate microdeta, maybe a tad bit more spatially resolving, but the MW had more oomph, more meaty, stronger footing. I found that MW amp should definitely ... | |
| Ayre, wow I agree with you Albert. The C1's are really great! |
