| Replacing Sonic Frontiers Line 3 SE Keis, I have heard similar feedbacks on BAT VK51SE and Aesthetic.Since I posted this thread, I ordered some 6GH8 to replaced my worn pair. I experimented with different 6922 and made no significant difference in dynamic, but putting in a pair NOS ... | |
| Replacing Sonic Frontiers Line 3 SE Jim, the Siemens came with my Line 3 SE from SF, they have falcon logo which should be decent. I have tried a few others in addition to what I mentioned, but none made enough of a difference so I never thought of trying the Telefunken especially t... | |
| Replacing Sonic Frontiers Line 3 SE John, a guy compared BAT 51SE to Line 3SE and preferred the Line 3SE. I know that's one person's opinion, but he did compare both at home extensively. Also, many thought BAT sounded on the dark side? | |
| Replacing Sonic Frontiers Line 3 SE Tried Siemen, Tungsram, Valvo, Sovtek 6H23, etc. | |
| Solid state "backup" amp recommendation still haven't had a chance to hear CI or Nuforce, but weather is cooling down and urge to get that backup amp is fading. | |
| Any info on new Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario? from what I read, should be the same price as original Amati Homage, or $24k retail. | |
| Trading Dynaudio Contour s5.4's for ??? One speaker that comes to mind is Sonus Faber Cremona. I am a Sonus Faber fan and own many of their products, Cremona is definitely on the warm side and too warm for my taste even, so I gave them to my parents. Amati Homage strikes a better balanc... | |
| Down to 3 choices - opinions requested Another vote for Sonic Frontiers.Audible Illusion is very good, but awkward to use and service is questionable.If you can step up to the newer SF Line series, you can utilize your Power 2 XLR input and balanced circuit. Line 1 can be had for <$... | |
| Solid state "backup" amp recommendation Jafox gets what I am talking about - reducing heat and tube wear during the day for background msuic. When late at night, I will switch back to tube amp, if I am in the mood, and listen critically.Many have experiences on hot running solid state a... | |
| Solid state "backup" amp recommendation A nice guy locally just offered both CI & NuForce for me to try in my system, how can I resist?It will be fun to hear how new generation digital amps compared to old fashion tube triode. I did hear Rowland 502 in my system, I will just say I m... | |
| Solid state "backup" amp recommendation Ok, you guys are making a difficult decision more difficult. Before posting, I thought listing out the safe bets will help me narrow my choices but instead I now have more options than ever.Fortunately, I am open minded and NuForce does have a dem... | |
| Solid state "backup" amp recommendation Thanks for the fine suggestions so far.Heat is part of the reason I need a solid state, the other part is playing music all day on weekend for background really does not justify using the BAT. On top, I have gone thru more amps than listed above a... | |
| Solid state "backup" amp recommendation Ok, very diversed suggestions so far.The 3 candidates I menioned above are safe bets, amps like Channel Island (or NuForce for that matter) are amps of the future and I am not sure if I am ready for the future :) Had a PS Audio HCA-2 before, thoug... | |

| SF Guarniere and SET? Heard Guarneri with Cary 805 once, that's 50 wpc in SET and it was glorious and very loud in a fairly large room. Given your room size and type of music you listen to, I think 30 wpc SET should not be a problem. Amati is a lot more demanding on po... |
