| Selling off Tubes for Solid State, A Cooler Love Story? @j-wall Others have asked - what is your budget? Two names I would add are Ayre Acoustics and Bryston. As good as Pass class AB products to me. Great support from the manufacturers. Very neutral and smooth compared to Rogue Sphinx, which I auditi... | |
| Smart power supplies for turntable @lewm Same as my conclusion. Absent knowledge of how my CA table regulates incoming power, better to try a regenerator and get clean, constant power for multiple devices. While I’m not averse to trying a DIY solution, I’m not interested in damagin... | |
| Smart power supplies for turntable Thx to @cindyment for describing issues not well addressed on Clearaudio’s website or in their documentation. I am not interested in spending $1200 for their battery power supply unless I can try it and return if there is little or no improvement ... | |
| Smart power supplies for turntable @millercarbon I will not let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Just looking for a reasonable solution. @lewm I will look for the thread on the CA battery supply. Its relative cost to serve just one device is why I started this thread. The ... | |
| Smart power supplies for turntable @millercarbon @lewm Thanks to you both for your responses, which confirm I am on the right track. To clarify, I have a Clearaudio turntable with a 12v DC motor. Clearaudio indicates that their DC power supply is voltage stabilized, yet th... | |
| Who are the Stand Up Guy's and Gals in this Audio Industry? Michael Kelly at Aerial Acoustics - he answered the call or replied by phone on a few occasions when I had questions on speaker placement and amplifier matches for my Model 8b’s.The folks at Ayre Acoustics have offered reasonably priced, material ... | |
| Recommendation for a highly resolving amp Don’t know your budget, but if you are seeking detail and if your budget permits consider the Ayre Acoustics VR-Twenty. See review below. https://www.whathifi.com/us/reviews/ayre-acoustics-kx-r-twenty-vx-r-twenty | |

| Turntable versus tonearm versus cartridge: which is MOST important? While I generally agree with the consensus view that putting an expensive cartridge on a modestly priced turntable is a poor choice, I agree with @rauliruegas given my personal experience. Budget turntables come with cartridges that cost well unde... | |
| Perfect match for ATC speakers I listen to the same kinds of music as you. I auditioned the SCM 7, 11 and 19, preferring the 19. I auditioned them at a reputable dealer with Linn and Simaudio electronics and found them both a good match, with the Simaudio smoother than the Linn... | |
| So I just bought a Hegel H390 and A brand no one has mentioned is Aerial Acoustics. I demo’d the H590 in my house with mine and found the Hegel comparably neutral and powerful to my current Ayre K-5xe pre-amp/Levinson 250w/ch power amp combo. The Aerial Model 7T is slightly above ... | |
| Full range speaker for rogue 90 or 100 wpc amp. @dpm2340 The size of the woofer cone and its magnet and the cabinet design and quality are more important for getting deep bass than whether it has two drivers or three or more. There is a school of thought in speaker design that argues that it is... | |
| Full range speaker for rogue 90 or 100 wpc amp. i own a Rogue Stereo 100 power amplifier, with a KEF C658 streamer/DAC/pre-amp as a source. This is a second system in a small room 12' wide by 10' deep. I listened to small Maggies, but the small models need a subwoofer. I ended up buying a pair ... | |
| replace Mcintosh with Luxman I'm confused. The McIntosh 611 is a mono power amp, while the Luxman C900u is a pre-amp. Do you mean the M-900u, a two-channel amplifier than when bridged is a 600 w monaural amp, same rating as your 611?In any event, the only Luxman product I aud... | |
| Hearing aids for audiophiles. +Widex - The Apple AirPod Pro may have software, but so does Widex. The audiologist sets the hearing aids to augment the frequencies your hearing test indicates need boost. You can customize the balance and there is a tone control for bass, midran... |
