| two channel speaker/equipment consultant @mikeyb9115 Have you checked Sound Environment? They sell some high end speakers. I live in KC, but I haven't actually been in the KC store. I used to go to their Omaha store. I have a friend in KC that has Legacy Valors. Another Agon forum me... | |
| Benchmark LA4 vs Linear Audio Tube microZOTL Preamplifier (Level 2) @sls883 it will be interesting to get your thoughts on the tubes. The 12AT7 that came factory in mine were branded Trigon. From what I was able to learn, they are probably a rebranded something. They aren't great. I have Sylvania bad boy 12sn... | |
| How do you decide what to listen to? Same old stuff? I listen to music 2 to 3 hours every nite. My exercise room is right off of my listening area. I sit in the sweet spot when I take breaks. Some nights I listen to stuff that I know and like. Sometimes, a friend makes a recommendation. Or, I su... | |
| Benchmark LA4 vs Linear Audio Tube microZOTL Preamplifier (Level 2) @thriftyaudio I think you'll like it. I had two different conrad-johnson preamps before the LTA and I prefer the LTA. I'd be curious to hear which tube types you try and which ones you like. | |
| Tune of the Day "Is my dick enough" by Steel Panther. It's actually good. Lol | |
| Why isn’t more detail always better? @toddalin I agree. I've thought about this when considering vacuum tubes or cables that roll off the top end. Doesn't seem right to do that, but it might be preferable to the harshness, sibilance, etc. After several upgrades, my system now has ... | |
| Music to let Your System Shine Carolin No - Carolin No. The entire album is good. Kacey Musgraves - Deeper Well album. Cardinal, Jade Green, and Lonely Millionaire are particular favorites off of that album. Riverside - Friend or Foe if you want something fun to crank. I like... | |
| Benchmark LA4 vs Linear Audio Tube microZOTL Preamplifier (Level 2) I’m very happy with my LTA MicroZotl level 2 preamp. I’m using it with a Coda No 8 amplifier. I bought my LTA lightly used from a guy that moved to a high dollar integrated amp. He had upgraded the tubes to NOS Telefunken ECC801S. I experimented ... | |
| HOW DID YOU END UP WITH YOUR DREAM SYSTEM? It started over 35 years ago. Had little money, so I would work to earn enough to buy the highest ranked equipment in Stereophile that I could afford. Mostly class C, maybe B. I had three boys and the house was too noisy for any serious listenin... | |
| The end of physical media is neigh I have boxes of dvds and blu ray discs. I have a Sony blu ray player that I mostly use to play music videos in surround sound. I have a Pioneer Elite dvd player sitting in a box as a backup, but it doesn't do blu ray. I might watch for a deal... | |
| Music for Working Creatively – I need your help! Riverside 20 - Volume 1, The Shorts. The band is Riverside, but what I listed is the tital on Qobuz. Carolin No - Carolin No. | |
| After 20 years, in the market for a power amp I would call Doug Dale with Coda. Tell him what you have for gear. You should also think about your long term plan. Will you ever change speakers? For my Von Schweikert Endeavor RE speakers, Doug recommended the No 8, V1. That's what I bought... | |
| What % Of Your System Are Your Cables? I'm around 12% based on what I paid. At normal retail for new, it would be higher. | |
| The HARD ROCK & HEAVY METAL Thread Continued @simonmoon +1 for Riverside. I play them a lot... You might give RPWL a try if you haven't heard them. I'm old enough that I was around when some of the great albums were released. I spent most of my money on music. Van Halen debut is probably t... | |
| Bluesound Node to Cambridge CXA-60 issue @oddiofyl Thank you. I'll look into it. |
