| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! Terry is indeed correct. I have the amp and it may be the best 6k Ive spent on solidstate. For context I had the 16 and I - in my room with my ears - feel like the S5.5 bests it in every way. Imaging rythym nuance and dynamic expression are out o... | |
| How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound? Some klipsch rb62 II and an alan eaton amp. Setup under 2500 | |
| Warm, yet detailed tube preamp I really enjoyed the Cary Slp-98 but my fave yet is the Luxman 38uc… i dont know how else to describe it other than it brought the soul and emotion out of everything I listened to. | |
| KEF LS50 Meta I had a pair and loved them. They sound big and clean. I liked them more than my buchardts (synergy pending). The kef are really well built and look awesome. And audiophile is a relative term. The kef punch well above thier price point. | |
| power cord for pass 250.8 What about a new pre instead? Backert labs tier one rhumba is just forward enough. I had it paired with a 250.8 and really enjoyed it. Just dont know a cord will deliver what you’re looking for. I wasnt a big fan of Pass labs preamps. They always ... | |
| Need Guidance for Next/Last Pair of Speakers Id go with so forte IV. Fantastic sounding. A hair more forward than the cornwalls but i dig that. I had voltis as well and I liked them at loud volumes - didnt love them at moderate volumes. | |
| DeVore Fidelity Orangutan O/baby speakers @kennyc Ive owned the o/93's and now the o/baby. I love both - synergy pending of course. The o/93's are bigger - as they should be, but the o/baby are just as magical. They cast a great soundstage, have enough bass and the mids are spooky good. B... | |
| What use to burn in power cords? Speakers ok … tubes for sure … capacitors perhaps … but cords? Is there any evidence backing “cord break in”? | |
| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. “The Heart of Saturday Night” Tom Waits | |
| Do people tire of audio forums? I came here for the women and it has not disappointed. | |
| How to make the Focal Kanta No. 2 speakers sing? Its the speakers man. This is a common complaint with focal. Before you soend a ton of money on room treatment etc etc - TRY a tube pre. I would purchase a freya + (with the TUNGSTOL tubes) a great pre for the price (cheaper than installing a bunc... | |
| looking for an integrated amp in the $1500 range Try an Allen Eaton tube amp (no need for pre), and a pair of caintuck audios fast 15 - that setup is slightly over budget but man will it sound magical at low to mid volume levels. Great combo. | |
| I Am Not an Audio Snob Schitt makes good gear - especially for the price. I especially love their Freya+ pre. I had that hooked up to a mc-462 amp and they sounded wonderful together. Like you I was also contemplating getting the schitt tone controls for my current syst... | |
| Bought a system without auditioning, thoughts? Int 250 is one of my faves. The fortes iv are great too - enjoy, this is a wonderful setup. Wonderful. | |
