| Afraid to buy new speakers I use Aerial Acoustics 5B monitors in my office system. They are a sealed enclosure speaker and I have them about a foot from the rear wall, a setup that is working well for me. I think they retail for about $2500. | |
| Speaker Cable Questions I've also used Kimber 8VS in the length you require and was happy with the result. There is now a 12VS offered which I would consider, however. | |
| Ayon's "Scorpio" tube imtegrated amp vs PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium tube integrated??. Jim, I think the Scorpio is very similar to the Spirit 1 integrated amp, so you might be able to find some reviews on it. There’s one on Positive Feedback. The Scorpio is listed as 45wpc pentode, 30wpc triode, whereas the Spirit 1 was 50wpc ... | |
| Tube integrated with real bass. Does it exist? Melbguy1,From everything I've read about the history of the company, and their remarks about where different parts on certain products are sourced, I've not placed such a high significance on the labeling as to form a similar conclusion regarding ... | |
| Tube integrated with real bass. Does it exist? Inna,I understand that you are not ready to make an upgrade now, but there is an Ayon Triton 1 currently listed at $4995 which I believe would be a great candidate for your system. Having read your criteria, it'll do everything you require and sho... | |
| Tube integrated with real bass. Does it exist? My Ayon Triton integrated has good bass, at least I like it. The Kimber PK10 Palladian power cord helped too. | |

| B&W 803D crossover caps DHL,It's funny how these reviews go. I think at this level of capacitor it must come down to system synergy and personal preference.I have experience only with the 630VDC version of the MR and that's the one with which I would stay. For my friend'... | |

| 2 runs of KK 8TC or 1 8TC and 1 4TC I don't know which configuration would be better, or to use 12TC and jumpers. I wanted to post a response just to say that I have found the Hyper Pure copper used in the TC cables to be grain free. I use it throughout my system. I think it's a gre... | |
| B&W 803D crossover caps Dhl93449,My experience with the Mundorf S/G/O was that they added too much emphasis in the treble. I do not have any experience with the S/G capacitors but I suspect I would like them even less than the S/G/O as I would expect them to be brighter ... | |
| Avalon Vic,What is it about your current cables that you like, which you describe as sounding "fine" and what attributes are you seeking that you would describe as "better?" I ask this simply to get an idea of where you are trying to take your system. I ... | |
| Subjectivity As Pertains To Preamp Comparisons The original post simply reconfirmed why I trust my ears and not these review publications. The fact that he called the head reviewer and got a second review published more to his liking pegged my BS meter. So, Froggy, I'd say your meter is workin... | |
| Is it possible to adapt kt88 to a 6A3 single ended Realdeal,Al seems to me to be very knowledgeable and sincerely tries to help. He is also obviously generous with both his time and his knowledge. Whether you considered his responses to be helpful a courteous "thank you" for his taking time to try... | |
| Power Cord with a 20 amp female and 15 amp male ? I had Kimber build a 20A PK10 power cord for use with my Bryston AVR20 isolation transformer. I was surprised when it arrived with a Wattgate 330i type male end. My shop inquired with them about it and we were told that the cord was good for 20A u... |
