| Picking a power amp I have an audio refinement pre and amp you might be interested in as I replaced them with an Atoll IN200 evo integrated amp. Both are quite impressive sounding. I use them with ProAc Studio 148 towers, which were basically replaced by the ProAc ... | |
| 2 Channel system sounds weak and lackluster @sns I'm surprised no one has mentioned AC, quality of AC can vary widely, the fact you liked system in another room points to this. I mentioned AC / power twice in this thread. Still have yet to hear if OP tried my recommendations... | |
| 2 Channel system sounds weak and lackluster Thinking about this more I still say it’s the amp (maybe damaged during the move?) or the power / electrical wiring at the new place (either before or after the breaker, or maybe both?). Try getting an extension cord long enough to get to another... | |
| 2 Channel system sounds weak and lackluster Given that you tried two different speakers and have two different sources, I would put my bets on something is wrong with the amp or the cables (out of phase, etc). But usually phase or room problems are not this drastic, especially if you liste... | |
| Modern equivalent of Cardas Golden Cross Call me crazy but Mogami 2549 with KLEI Copper Harmony RCA shotgunned (ground lifted on source end) just might be your bet. It is for me... | |
| Power Cords/ Conditioner/Surge Protectors First round recommended evaluations: Emotiva CMX-2+ with AC Line Filter With DC Offset Eliminator and Surge Protection https://emotiva.com/products/cmx2 Only DC offset eliminator that I’ve used that worked and didn’t kill dynamics (and I’ve tried... | |
| Preamp with separate volume control for each channel? If it was working perfectly, I would still carry on about the benefits of REMOTE BALANCE, once you have it, you never want to live without it. Chase Remote Line Controllers RLC-1 can be added in-line or thru a loop like tape or processor or via ... | |
| finally tried an exposure 3010s2d integrated vs my audio refinement (yba) separates Sold the 3010s2d. Got a brand new Atoll IN200 evo model (sounds much more like the IN300 now) ant it blows doors on features, looks and sound vs everything else I’ve tried. Love it. | |
| Hegel hum? I've had preamps and amps that were sensitive to DC on the line before. I've tried many DC blockers and pretty much all of them hurt the dynamics. The one that I found to work best and not hurt my system dynamics is the Emotiva CMX2 AC Line Filt... | |
| Atoll IN200SE Integrated Amplifier Got the IN200 evo in black yesterday with the DA100 DAC card. Set it up for burn in this morning with my bedroom system first then downstairs in a week or so after. Sounds great out of the box playing Bach’s cello suite with a lot of grip and neut... | |

| Stereo Times 2024 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS List The Vanguard Scout monitors look very nicely put together and priced. So does their stands. Too bad they are sold out. Does this happen often or is this company moving on from this model or monitors in general? | |
| Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative” I'm expecting the delivery of my Atoll IN200 evo (said to be much better / closer to the IN300 sig sound that ABA loved in his review) with the DA100 card in it to help consolidate my system also (audio refinement / yba separates). Fingers crosse... | |
| All-in-One units for retiring audiophile & music lovers in 2025, say what? @tomaswv, when you auditioned the Atoll SDA200 sig and the IN300 evo, did you also demo the IN200 evo? If so, how close were the two IN evos? What was different between the two? | |
| All-in-One units for retiring audiophile & music lovers in 2025, say what? Thanks @decooney for your reply. I am really hoping to consolidate 6 or 7 boxes down to 1 very shortly (should be receiving the IN200 Evo with DA100 card very soon) with the possibility of adding the P100 card at a future date. Any feedback or n... |
