| Looking for... Integrated tube amp with phono @stereo5 I had a Rogue Tempest ii (90 wpc) about 8-9 years ago. It was decent, but I would want something completely different if I bought another Rogue. Just to change it up; I had no real issues with it (that I can remember). | |
| Looking for... Integrated tube amp with phono @noromance That’s a good list, thanks. I’ve owned that same Vincent and a very similar Rogue, years ago. I already considered that BAT and the Roger’s High Fidelity but neither can be had with a phono stage, from what I found. Same with PrimaLu... | |
| Looking for... Integrated tube amp with phono @elliottbnewcombjr Umm, I already found 4 models that meet the power requirements. New speaker shopping is way too much work; I really don’t have time for that. BTW, my current tube amp is 60wpc and I used to have a Rogue that was around 90. The... | |
| Specific Node/Airplay question ^ If I'm going to sit and listen to music, it will be vinyl. Tidal is too much of a hassle (and too expensive for how little I would use it). | |
| Specific Node/Airplay question (I don't know how to reply directly to a comment, but THIS is what I was talking about)... From dinosore: Be aware that when you use AirPlay2 on an iPhone or iPad, the Apple Music app will down-sample the stream to a very lossy 256kbps (versus 1,... | |
| Specific Node/Airplay question What I don’t understand is… I assume using Apple Music via Airplay that there is a certain amount of compression happening with the files, right? (We aren’t talking about lossless files.) Like when a new tv mode is released (like 4k), but I don’t ... | |
| Best Speakers You Have Ever Heard In Your Home My current ones... Ohm Walsh 3. I imagine the omni sound is not for everyone, but I love the "airyness" and wide-open soundstage. And, they produce plenty of bass. | |
| Any Ohm Walsh owners using tube amp? I have slightly upgraded Walsh 3's and I'm running them with a CJ Classic 60SE (60 wpc). I've had these speakers longer than ANY piece of equipment (7+ years) and this combo is my favorite sounding setup yet. However, I've moved to a bigger house ... | |
| What phono pre am I looking for? @jack43 "It blows the Signature away..."Seriously? I've been looking for a Signature v2 and came across the F159, but I don't see how it could be better than the Signature (although I haven't heard either). I see you put some $$ tubes in it and I... | |
| Denon PMA-2500NE or similar "do it all" integrated in US? Here’s a link from the Denon UK website...https://www.denon.co.uk/uk/product/hifi/amplifier/pma2500ne | |
| Tone Controls can be so nice. Regarding tweaking... I've found that I can adjust the tone controls within the first 30 seconds, and I'm good for the whole album. Heck, I don't always sit down when listening, so I can't get too particular. My stereo sounds "good enough" (to me)... | |
| Tone Controls can be so nice. Follow-up... I bought an integrated amp with tone controls (Vincent SV-237), and I really like having them. The Loudness button gives much more of a live rock show feel, because it makes me feel like I'm in front of the guitar and bass cabinets (w... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I'm digging my Walsh 3's. Granted, they are a lot bigger than Micro's, but the amount of bass in the 3's is pretty amazing. (The only reason I didn't keep my Micro's years ago was due to the lack of bass.) These are an older model, and I doubt the... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I know this thread was supposed to be for the Micro Walsh, but since it's turned into an "Ohm" thread, just thought I'd mention...Just bought a pair of used Wash 3's (haven't hooked them up yet), and the WAF was pretty low. Heh, I think she said, ... | |
