| What can beat Wilson XVX for less money? @rsf507 What did you say ? | |
| Made the move: Focal Maestro 3 to Focal Maestro EVO How much did the upgrade cost? I wonder if going to prior gen Stella would be similar price and if that would yield a bigger upgrade over going to meastro evo. | |
| What can beat Wilson XVX for less money? Thanks so much. Some awesome discussion and suggestions. @lanx0003 Very interesting!!! | |
| egglestonworks viginti @audiotroy Viginti does use beryllium.... ? | |
| CJ 140lm monos vs pass x350.8 @marco1 Good tip on 0.5 series. I was reading on WBF that 0.5 series is richer and has more 'soul'. Apparently XS Series combines the detail and clarity of 0.8 but the midrange euphonics of 0.5. But of course XS is pricey. | |
| Any thoughts on Osborne grand monument? Lead lining in the speaker seems a bit weird. Surely there are safer materials for inertness ? | |
| Vintage tube sound from a modern amp @jerryg123 Is the Qualiton a vintage classic tube sound or is it more a modern fast neutral sound ? | |
| Vintage tube sound from a modern amp @oddiofyl Certainly beautiful. I wonder what the internals look like. I think I reached out before but didn't get a reply about internals. | |
| Which preamp to go with pass labs x150.8 Agree with @soix | |

The moreplay has a richer tone, more forward mids and surprisingly more depth and sounds more holographic. So I want to go more in the direction of that kind of sound and i... | |
| Bottlehead moreplay vs Audio research reference 5se (early impressions) Yaaaaaaaaaaaa grab it. Its cheap enough that you can grab it and still look at other options. I'll still look for another preamp that has moreplay sound better finishing and a remote. | |
| Bottlehead moreplay vs Audio research reference 5se (early impressions) I'd argue the moreplay is a great preamp full stop. The Ref 5 se is largely regarded as one of the best preamps ever made and for moreplay to compete with it at 1/10 the price is utterly insane. | |
| Bottlehead moreplay vs Audio research reference 5se (early impressions) @skids I probably will. Its a great tube preamp but I think i need to chase the moreplay type of sound. @corelli well said. An engineer on our discord said the exact same thing. And ya I definitely plan on doing mods that are recommended to take... | |
