| Magico speakers too clinical and fatiguing? Last year I was shopping for new speakers and went to a dealer to hear the A3’s. He had the A5’s and played them for me with a VAC Sigma 170i amp. I liked the tone of the speakers but what really impressed me was the imaging. Maybe it had to do wi... | |
| Wilson Sabrina X ... oh my God! and Jadis... or? I was looking for new speakers and an amp last year. I also was in the high efficiency speaker, low powered amp camp. The first speakers I listened to were the Sabrina X. I knew the D’Agostino amps were a popular match, but I told the dealer I cou... | |
| Floorstanding speaker experiences/recommendations in the $12-25k range I was shopping for speakers in this price range last year. I listened to the Sabrina X, Magico and Von Schweikert, which were all technically very impressive. I also listen to a lot of jazz and I ended up getting the Devore O96's, because tone is... | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 Thanks @questforhifi looking forward to hearing your results. | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 Thanks for your recommendation @la45. I don’t want to hijack this post, but I have been wondering if it’s worth the investment to add the fiber setup for the Lumin U2. Are you using the Lumin U2 with fiber now? If you are I’d be curious to know wh... | |
| New Phono Cart with Character Needed I just upgraded to a Hana Umami Blue cartridge since Hana was running a 20% off promotion and I was surprised how impressive the change was in bass and treble extension as well as immediacy, color and imaging. Even with the discount I'm sure $2K i... | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 I was looking at the same choice a few months ago. I have a Holo Audio Spring3 KTE DAC and I've been using a Sony UBP-X800E 4K Bluray player to play SACD's and as a CD transport. I also have an Intel NUC as a Roon Core. I listen to a mix of LP's, ... | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream MK2 DAC I have owned 2 PS Audio products - first the DS Jr DAC, then the Stellar phono preamp. Fremer gave that phono preamp an excellent review and I bought it when they had a promo on it. He mentioned hum problems with it, which he said he was able to r... | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? How about the Leben CS300 and the Audio Note OTO? (didn’t see you’re not interested in an integrated) | |
| Is there a 300B type amp out there with some WATTS behind it? Here are two possible options. This is a good 300b push pull amp that puts out 22 watts (Audio Space Reference 3.1 300b Integrated Amplifier on US Audio Mart): And this 300b SET amp is supposed to be more robust than some others: https... | |
| Nuforce STA200 kbuzz, this may be too late, but I saw your post about using a tube preamp. I bought the STA200 and had an old Audible Illusions tube preamp and there was a lot of noise. I bought a Rogue RP1 preamp which I picked partly because it has a low gain ... |
