| System assessment--should I change amps? Arsh,3 thoughts for your consideration...As a former Trivista DAC owner, I can say confidently that as ZD suggests your digital front end can be greatly improved upon at resonable cost. No area in audio has made such strides since the time of your... | |
| Any experience with Sonus Faber Electa Amator II? Johnny, your memory is still good! Keef would be proud, ;-) Thanks for that. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Ring Clamps. What do you think? My VPI ring clamp and center weight take < 10 seconds. The center weight doesn't screw down. There's no worry over proper adjustment. IMHE, bass is tighter and clearer because records are flatter allowing for better tracking. Warped garage sale... | |
| what speakers Good advice from Unsound! Last thing you want to do is fall in love with a speaker and realize that you just bought incompatible amp(s). Cheers,Spencer | |
| Any experience with Sonus Faber Electa Amator II? One of my fav monitors of all time. Remember seeing them dealer demoed at a few places with an unusual coax cable that wasn't usually used with speakers. Perhaps someone can fill in my memory gap on that. It wasn't a super expensive cable but had ... | |
| Any comments on Synergistic Research Atmosphere This product name is confusing. Does Ralph and his amplifier/preamp company have anything to do with product? I sure would be frustrated to see a high end audio product introduced named almost exactly like my company. Any performance issues with t... | |
| Aerial 10t or KEF 107 for "vintage" speaker? The 10t always impressed me when it was driven well and placed a few feet out from the wall.

| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Fsmithjack, Respectfully suggest you start a new thread on the amp topic rather than hijack this one. FWIW, I own a pair of the Lamm M2.1 hybrids you mention and would be happy to discuss them on another thread or by PM if you prefer. Back to the ... | |
| Any alternatives to Astell & Kern DAP's? Fiio X5 and the Hifiman units are worth contenders. headfi has tons of reviews and detailed threads on them and related topics. | |
| Help set up OPPO 105 Morty, Get some DSD files and try them thru the Oppo. You will be pretty impressed. Before doing so, make sure you have the latest firmware installed on the Oppo. Their website will give you step-by-step instructions if you aren't clear on install... | |
| Is there any 50W 300B SET monoblock out there? OP, I agree with comment from noromance. If you need power and love SET sound, you owe it to yourself to check out the Dehaviland line. For many tears they've been focused on SET triode amps that are compatible with a wider variety of speakers. A ... | |
