| Amps for B&W 805 Diamond: Rogue Audio or Krell, Pass labs, ML, Accuphase The Medusa is a great amp with outstanding detail and 3D imaging/soundstage but I wouldn’t recommend it for the 805s unless you’re willing to do some tube rolling so of the two I’d side with the Krell. With Pass I’d go with their XA series as it’... | |
| New amp listening fatigue: Distortion or ?????? How many hours do you have on it? It’s possible whatever’s bothering you may decrease with further burn in that can take 100 - 200 hours or more depending on the unit. | |
| Help in deciding which tube preamp to replace my old SFL-2 Congrats! I’m sure you’ll absolutely love it. | |
| Midfi Integrated amp w/ phone stage recommendation I think the Yamaha A-S801 is a very good suggestion, but if that’s the way he goes I’d buy it from Accessories4less as he’ll get a nice discount and it’s a very reputable site. He could get the prior model for only $650 or the new model that just ... | |
| Streamer creates a Wow experience @tubeguy76 Great! If you could let me know what improvements you hear. I never used the original power supply and don’t currently have access to it to do a comparison so I’d be interested in what you find. All I know is it sounds damn good with... | |
| Am I Better Off With Limited Low Frequency Speaker In A Small Room? You do have an issue in that you have a square room, which will create significant bass reinforcement issues. I had a similar issue with my floor standers that go down to 28Hz, and short of bass traps or DSP/room correction the only way I could so... | |
| Sound quality of Roon I would not trust TAS to carry my lunch let alone evaluate something. @theaudiomaniac Fair point. | |
| Suggestions for a digital cable. I’ve had the Apogee Wyde Eye for a looooong time so I’m thinking it’s time finally upgrade as the rest of my system has improved around it. My interconnects and speaker cables are Acoustic Zen, which I really like for their natural, coherent sound... | |
| Sound quality of Roon Amazon is not the culprit- just the delivery method. @zgas-music No, Amazon’s not doing you any favors either. Steve Stone did a comparison of the major streaming services in TAS not all that long ago, and let’s just say Amazon did not fare wel... | |
| Good-sounding audio components? +1 attend as many audio shows as you can. Inevitably certain rooms will jump out at you as sounding really good to you. Take notes on what you really liked about the sound of each of these rooms and all the equipment therein — including things lik... | |
| Help in deciding which tube preamp to replace my old SFL-2 What improvements are you looking for, and what sound characteristics are most important to you? | |
| Anyone hear the Class D Audio Mini GaN 5 amp yet? @maw8c Congrats! Once the amp is fully burned in and you’re acclimated to it you might consider talking to Ric Schultz at Electronic Visionary Systems about mods he’s developed for your amp. He upgrades/reworks key parts that can bring these amps ... | |
| What Digital to Digital Converter Do You Use? Why? I’m rethinking the SU-6 now after reading more about the Denafrips Iris that is only $542 and seems to share a lot of the same design aspects with the SU-6, and in this review it seems to generate similar results as well. Not sure it’ll work with ... | |
| Are there any more good multi format disc players out there? @stereo5 Out of curiosity what is your current streaming setup? | |
| Suggestions for a digital cable. Any reason for the 1.5 Meter vs shorter ones? And thank you for the suggestion, I'm aware of this cable but was skeptical vs the D60. It's been around for many years. Yes, it’s a pro cable that has been around for a long time and maybe for good... |
