| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? I have the Musician Pegasus in my HeadFi rig and like it a lot. Depends totally on what sound characteristics you’re looking for, but I’d recommend reading the review of the Aquarius on stereonews.net to see if it might be a good fit. It’s one o... | |
| Name this wonderful system I don’t listen to music on YouTube, but the system is B&W N805s with Accuphase electronics. | |
| Avalon Teseeract $327,000 Speakers with 4.5 Kilowatts per Channel I was ready to buy the one pair slated for the US, but for some reason my wife said no. | |
| Time to upgrade the pre-amp. though I am definitely looking for that full mid-range and "musicality" typically associated with all tube architectures. Not sure ARC would be my choice for this type of sound. You’ve got other better recommendations for that above, and I’ll ... | |
| Moving from integrated to separates I totally agree it’s a worthwhile experiment to try a higher-powered amp as, as good as it may still sound, if you’re pushing an amp to the higher end of its limits you’re not hearing it at its best. That said, I have to say I’d be sorely tempted... | |
| VTL information Good thing you have a good tech because VTL’s customer service seems to be among the worst in the business. | |
| Moving from integrated to separates I’d add VAC to the list. Definitely not the modern tube sound but neither overly warm or syrupy. Atmasphere would be another one. Best of luck. | |
| Modwright LS100 vs LTA MicroZOTL @pdreher ok I will let u know my thoughts. I’ll have my amp back around mid August and then I’ll need a week or so to let them both burn in properly. BTW, I got the upgraded linear power supply just so you know. I don’t consider it optional as ... | |
| Price Isn't Always Indicitive of Quality or Performance @charles1dad You might be in for a new awakening, but we shall see. I think it’s great that you’re willing to try something so different. That’s the spice of life. | |
| Price Isn't Always Indicitive of Quality or Performance Thanks @charles1dad I will be very interested in your findings. Cables are obviously very system and taste dependent, but I’ve got a feeling these guys might have a thing going on that is really undercutting the big guys on silver cables. I don’t ... | |
| Connect speakers to my new Denon AVR-x4700H Receiver or to my Outlaw 7125 7-Channel Amp So here’s the deal — the Outlaw amp will outperform your Denon. Period. But the problem is, if you care at all about music the preamp section of the Denon sucks. It just does. Almost all but the most expensive AVR preamp sections suck. If you... | |
| Considering a new amp for my Vandersteen Quatro CT McCormack and Vandy have a long history of playing well together. I’ll give you two options of excellent candidates, but I’d recommend the cheaper version because your speakers have powered subs and it’s got a lot of Steve’s latest upgrades alread... | |
| Modwright LS100 vs LTA MicroZOTL @lancelock How would you describe the differences between the MZ2 and MicroZOTL? This only applies if you had the upgraded power supply on the MZ2, otherwise I assume it’s no contest. | |
| Modwright LS100 vs LTA MicroZOTL I’ll defer to @armstrod as he’s got the real goods, but by everything I’ve read the Modwright will sound warmer and the LTA relatively more neutral but still with some tube goodness. I just got an MZ2 but it’s still in the box because my amp is g... | |
| Why do so many people have problems with bass? IME there are very few if any speakers that can’t be improved significantly by adding a couple good subwoofers, or even better, four subs. I mean, Wilson uses subs with their colossal Alexandra speakers, so what does that tell you? If you think yo... |
