| Electra Tube Connectors and GR Research Speaker Update Kits Has anyone compared tube connectors to good quality binding posts and noticed a sonic difference ? | |
| Are Harbeth the only warm and euphonic speakers in town ? @secretguy not every audiophile is focused on accuracy. And everyone has their own personal preference for what resonates with them the most sonically. There is no need to disparage others who think differently than you. | |
| New Luxman 507Z That would be a downgrade for my taste. The internals and external build actually don't even look as nice as prior models. I heard they are cutting costs where they can while raising the price. | |
| Unison Research Simply Italy or Primaluna Dialogue I'd like to know too | |
| Warm, rich, smooth, 3d tube integrated amp, budget $6000 @drcjj thanks man... well written thoughts.. I have a local dealer who offered me a 1 week trial on the evo 400 so thinking about it | |
| Pass INT-25 better than Wilsenton R8? @travisg Why did you go from tube to SS ? btw this is coming from a pass fan. What I would have done from r8 is go to a used Jadis or VAC that is around $5-6k. Guessing that would be a big upgrade. | |
| Jadis DA88S mkii integrated @daveyf My understanding of shindo is that its a warm, musical but still very detailed sound. If thats Art's sound then I share the same taste. | |
| Warm, rich, smooth, 3d tube integrated amp, budget $6000 My Haydn is 4 ohm, 25-180 watts is the recommended range and it seems to play well with 9.2 watts of my elekit tu8600. So maybe 40-60 watts will be enough for my use case? | |
| Warm, rich, smooth, 3d tube integrated amp, budget $6000 So maybe this is the wrong path and I should go back to my prior idea of a warm tube preamp to replace the ARC? | |
| Jadis DA88S mkii integrated I am taking a hard look at Jadis since it seems so well made. But the reviews from Art dudley for 2 units seemed a bit luke warm (at least compared to his shindo amps). | |
| Warm, rich, smooth, 3d tube integrated amp, budget $6000 @secretguy $6k is my limit.. I am happy to spend less if there is a good option. | |
| Warm, rich, smooth, 3d tube integrated amp, budget $6000 For you guys that have prima luna. Have you compared them to any other tube gear? Thanks! | |
| Warm, rich, smooth, 3d tube integrated amp, budget $6000 @curtisvill @larryi I should have specified but I'd really appreciate a pure amp.. no phono/dac etc. | |
| Warm, rich, smooth, 3d tube integrated amp, budget $6000 @fatdaddy2 I hear you... even my 9.2 watt elekit has some heat but much better than the nuclear fireball that is my pass x350.8. If it gets hot im ok with it... i dont think ill get the sound I want with a cool running amp. | |
| Warm, rich, smooth, 3d tube integrated amp, budget $6000 @vassilis_t cool another ns5k owner... thanks will look into those @sandthemall ya evo 400 looks like a great amp.. definitely on my list.. I haven't seen too many comparisons to other amps tho |
