| Recommendation Tube Integrated BAT and VAC are great recommendations to which I’ll add the Audio Hungary Qualiton X200 and the gorgeous Pathos amps from Italy. Best of luck. | |
| Tube preamp with Adcom amp I think adding a tube pre is a great idea, but it really depends on what sound characteristics you’re looking for as they run the gamut from neutral to warm and everything in between. Any further thoughts/goals would be most helpful. | |
| Any normal size speakers that sound like Volti Here, just get these and be done with it… https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650017479-joseph-audio-pearl-3-speakers/ | |
| Which Shunyata Power Cord? You should check out Triode Wire Labs. Pretty sure they offer a generous trial period and good value as they sell direct. Best of luck. https://triodewirelabs.com/ | |
| Why isn't better quality used gear being made available? Ever wonder what happens to all the used gear being returned to dealers. They take trade-ins all the time and yet never seem to have anything available for sale used. It's a quandary. Maybe the manufacturers agree to take it back in some craz... | |
| Zafvino Silver Dart Graphene vs. ? Soix, I put the AZ Holograms in today. I am blown away. Imaging is much better but tonally they are really, really nice. Yeah, I know. In the spirit of the season — “there is some magic in that old silk hat they found.” Glad to hear you se... | |
| I’m looking for an sleek integrated amp under $15k Sleek not slim. That unit is pretty ugly IMO Lol But you think the Naim Unity Nova is good looking? Seriously??? | |
| Stand mount speakers to replace Magnepan 1.6’s Here. Just get these and be done with it… https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650050984-joseph-audio-pulsar/ | |
| Better desktop DAC Total budget; low to medium. That means absolutely nothing to anyone but you. Just give us a number please. | |
| I’m looking for an sleek integrated amp under $15k Sleek? You’d be hard pressed to find something more sleek than this Devialet… https://www.crutchfield.com/p_285220PRO/Devialet-Expert-220-Pro.html Lyngdorf would also be a great choice. Best of luck. | |
| Power strip recommendations I won’t use this type of surge protection again. I believe the protection device is a sacrificial MOV. So, in addition to the Wiremold power strip I recommended above I bought a used Audience AR1p power conditioner that has one outlet and doesn... | |
| Should I update my manufactures power cords? Send the unit to me and I will upgrade the power supply caps, resistors, etc. which will bow any power cord you an buy away. @bigkidz What would something like that cost? I assume doing this would void the warranty? | |
| Oppo Blu-Ray Players in 2023 I would like to start listening to CDs again Why??? Especially since you said you’ve already sold off all your CDs? Just stream through Qobuz and be happy. What am I missing here? | |
| Peformance at price point for speakers manufactured in China? There’s the obvious risk that if you build a product in China but price it as if it’s made in Europe or the US you’re taking a bit of a risk as many people may choose to not buy a China-based product if it’s priced comparably to something produced... | |
| Should I update my manufactures power cords? “Manufactures” is a verb — you’re looking for the noun, which is “manufacturer’s” power cords. AQ “manufactures” power cords and are a power cord “manufacturer.” One is an action and the other is a thing. See the difference? Argh! |
