| The Audiophile Song - Who Can Relate? I like the fact that not many people have been 'triggered' by the video, LOL... I was expecting more push back, based on a couple negative comments on different forums. Judging by some of the comments on the video itself many of us can relate, an... | |
| Anyone at home at Krell? I'm hoping some of you guys are being a bit hasty with your assessments and the talk of bankruptcy. Was there any reason to think that Krell was NOT a going concern before the bereavement? I'm genuinely asking, I do not know the answer. I communi... | |
| Developing A List Of Tonearm Candidates For A SOTA Turntable I like OL arms, I hope you’ll be happy with yours. I started out with the OL silver on a Feickert Volare then moved up to an Illustrious on a OL Resolution. I also owned your Audio Tekne MC6310 and that’s a fantastic cartridge. I sent mine back ... | |
| Rel sub @fertguy I bought my REL neutrik cables from BlueJeans Cable and they're very good. Far better than the cheap stuff that came with the Carbon Specials. They have options also for configuring the ends so you can get what you need for connecting to ... | |
| The Audiophile Song - Who Can Relate? @acman3 "I would like to show this to my wife, but I've finally got her thinking I'm sane and she's crazy." The rest of us need to know how you made that happen ;) | |
| The Audiophile Song - Who Can Relate? @deep_333 Now that would be interesting, lol. I see a T-shirt in someone's future. | |
| Which has a greater influence on sound quality, the amp or the preamp? I try not to use a component that’s obviously colored ahead of the power amps. Get a good transparent source and a good transparent preamp, then you can indulge yourself and shape the presentation a little with your choice of power amp, knowing th... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? ProAc D40R fit your spec. I have similar musical tastes to you (OP) and can play my D40R at any sane level without fatigue. They're rich, bold, full-bodied, and....full range. You won't need subs with the D40Rs. At 89db sensitivity they play uncon... | |
| My Caladan Impressons I’m a fan of dipole designs, I’ve owned Apogee, Maggies, Carver Plats, Logans, and single driver open baffles. On hearing Spatial Audio speakers at CAF 2019 I took the plunge on a pair of X3s. I couldn’t get them to sound right in my room. Beamy ... | |
| 300B or 2a3 SET Class A for Heretic Model A? @pdreher Keep an eye open for an Art Audio Carissa. 845 SET and a great match with vintage Altec. PS- I ran Valencias with Model 19 crossovers for a while and those things benefited from some juice. | |
| 300B or 2a3 SET Class A for Heretic Model A? I don’t recall not liking a speaker because the amp had too much power but I’ve heard plenty of underpowered speakers sound bad. I’ve owned speakers that were 105dB efficient and sounded dull and lifeless with a variety of flea powered SET amps, a... | |
| From Rossini Apex to ???? I went from a May KTE to the Rossini Player/DAC with Master Clock. Yes, the midrange is warmer on the May but the Rossini is steps above the May. I run tubes so I get plenty of warmth and appreciate the transparency that the Rossini has, versus th... | |
| I need a recommendation on Class D amp I used the Crown XLS 2502 to power a pair of Aerial Acoustics SW12 subs that I’ve converted for passive use, and the amp worked well. It has a high/low gain setting which helps get you in the right range then volume adjustment for each channel. It... | |
| Living With A Class A Tube Amp @jrcotner Class A tube amps have desirable sonic qualities, but other current tube or solid state amps can produce equally good sound quality without the drawbacks listed above. That came from @atmasphere and while I agree with the majorit... | |
| Solid state amp vs tube amps Tube amps rule. End of story :) |
