Which do I keep? I agree with @brf. Both amps are excellent. bel Canto also has tremendous customer service. | |
FLOAT LIKE A BUTTERFLY STING LIKE A BEE I would surmise there're a few | |
I need help, please? Listening to my system through music! @hifiron - Yes, I agree with your assessment of Decware equipment. I visited Steve up near Peoria and spent a pleasant afternoon with him auditioning the Torii and his Styx cables. I've since bought the Styx cables but have yet to take a chance o... | |
I need help, please? Listening to my system through music! Oh, any thoughts on the Conrad Johnson CA-150 or ET-250? | |
I need help, please? Listening to my system through music! @hifiron -- I walk the line between clinical and holistic: I like pinpoint imagery - like knowing exactly where each tom is on the drumset and hearing the bassist' fingers slide down the strings. I also want warm nuances and enveloping presence. A... | |
I need help, please? Listening to my system through music! Thank you all, for the sage advice and questions. The Triode in question is a Triode Corp TRV-88SE. It’s a push-pull design, not an SET and, based on all the advice and evidence, it looks as if it just may not be powerful enough for the Adagios. M... | |
Is it possible to buy a decent tube amplifier in the $2000-3000 range? I might be late to the party, but there's an LSA Statement tube/SS hybrid integrated available on Agon now for around $2K. One of the best hybrid integrateds ever made. Will drive anything with delicacy and grace and power. | |
Interesting article on audiophiles and audiophilia @vintage -- interesting story. Thanks for sharing. I think I'm in a midway point between going for an ideal sound that may never be attainable and, as buckhorn pointed out above, being in the unfortunate phase of listening more to the equipment th... | |
Interesting article on audiophiles and audiophilia ^^^^^^^^^Buckhorn FTW! | |
Interesting article on audiophiles and audiophilia And I think as a population we're not going to be understood by those for whom sound and music are not synesthetic, holistic experiences. I know that sounds dreadfully elitist, but whenever I'm tempted to invite someone over for a "listening sessi... | |
Very Bad purchase from upscale audio Acoustic Zen Adagio Some questions:1. Didn't Agon used to have a "Disputes" forum? 2. Did the OP ever open up an official Agon dispute? 3. If the OP used Paypal, did he ever open up a Paypal dispute?4. Opinions on Mr. Deal aside (I've dealt with him twice and he stru... | |
Has anyone considered rebuying a speaker you once owned?? I have the AZ Adagios now and am very happy. But I miss my Reference 3A de Capos. In many ways they were just as good as the Adagios. Different, but just as good. I would buy them again if I had to. | |
Good source for TT dustcover?? Yes, Stereosquares custom made a beautiful cover for my VPI HW19 with all the appropriate and well-sized cut-outs. Highly recommended. Good bang for the buck, | |
Best divorce album? @slaw Yes. Coupled with "Brothers on a Hotel Bed" = two devastating songs. | |
Modest upgrade from Acoustic Zen Adagios? Thanks, @soix! I'm thinking I may go the upgraded crossover route - though I'm hesitant to think I can improve upon what Robert Lee designed. Any directions to ways to do this? |
