300B SET or EL34 SET
I'm thinking of Audion Sterling EL34 and Audion Silver Night (300B). I tought my Tannoy Legacy Eaton at 89dB sensivity would be too hard for the 300B amp to drive but Graeme at Audion says it will be no problem.

No sub. I've tried to change speaker positions over and over again. Therefore I bought a XTZ Room Analyzer and it is from those measurements I've got the figures.I don't have room for multiple subs and I tried with one sub once, but it only got wo... 
SACD or not SACD?
Thorazine? Didn't know what that was. Had to look it up. Hmm...but you know about Thorazine ...I just gave the idea a second thought after the input from you all. Not that strange, is it? 
SACD or not SACD?
I have been thinking of what Elizabeth wrote (what happened with her post?) and Steve Guttenberg's video and I’ve decided to skip the SACD player and instead do as I intended to do in the first place; buy a transport for about 1k. The extra 2k (ma... 
SACD or not SACD?
I know about mastering, compression and those things but that is another story. I was talking about comparing the same production as Red Book and as SACD (in my case hybrid SACD discs). I"m not planning to buy SACD discs of albums I already have ... 
Anyone compared a KGSSHV with a KGSSHV Carbon?
Carbon is said to sound close to triodes, so I meant if I use a DAC with a tube I could add a little tube "magic" to the sound. I didn't mean it would make the KGSSHV sound like a Carbon.Maybe it will be a Carbon after all (when I have the money). 
Anyone compared a KGSSHV with a KGSSHV Carbon?
Hej mulvelingEveryone says that the Carbon is the one for 007 Mk2. But it's also twice the price of KGSSHV. So, is it really worth it? My "primary" DAC is a LAB 12 DAC1SE which uses a E88CC tube, so if I buy KGSSHV I have the oppertunity to tweak ... 
Decisions on standmounts: ATC, Dynaudio, ProAc, Sonus Faber
@wim1983 HejI have a pair ATC SCM 19v2 and I think they are very good and very neutral. There are two things you should know about them; to sound the best they need power and to be played at at least "normal" listening volume. 
Good Product or Nonsense?
This thread is just for fun. Right? 
Anyone compared Sennheiser HD800 S with Beyerdynamic T1.1?
@stringreen @james63 @jim204The headphone amp is a Feliks Audio Elise (tube amp).I don’t find it lacking bass or being brittle. The problem is that especially acoustic instrument sounds as being recorded with a microphone very near the strings so ... 
Any RME ADI-2 DAC FS owners here?
Thanks for your opinions. There are a few other DAC:s in this price range (more or less) that also are interesting; M2Tech Young, Mytek Liberty, NuPrime DAC-9 and Schiit Gungnir Multibit.It’s a pity that the rme doesn’t have digital out so you cou... 
Any RME ADI-2 DAC FS owners here?
@vineman55You wrote that you had it for a while. Why didn’t you keep it and what did you replace it whith?@nekoaudio I’m not afraid of all the options. On the contrary, they are one of the reason I’m curious of the DAC.But maybe it’s not a DAC for... 
Audiogon member suggestions for a speaker that sounds good at low volume!!!

Audiogon member suggestions for a speaker that sounds good at low volume!!!
I tried Loki with my ATC SCM19. It worked so-so. Compared to my Tannoy Legacy Eaton it was nothing good. Loki lives in the closet now. 
Audiogon member suggestions for a speaker that sounds good at low volume!!!
I've tried Heresy and they will not do it. They are bass shy which will not work at low volumes. I also like (have to) listening at low volumes and after Heresy I tried Tannoy Legacy Eaton. Which I bought and I can't be happier.
