| Requesting opinions about 4 specific amplifiers @soix doesn’t know the difference between objective measurements and subjective opinions. Sit down, son. You’re embarrassing yourself. @squared80 First, I’m not your son so you can just stuff that back where it came from. Second, you said your ... | |
| Requesting opinions about 4 specific amplifiers Why not just get a Buckeye Purifi. Objectivity better than any you’ve listed. @squared80 Objectively better? Really? So you’re the end-all, be-all authority and have compared the Buckeye directly to the amps listed by the OP? Just because you l... | |
| looking to replace Fyne speaker jumper cable What’s your budget, and what speaker cables are you using? | |
| SS Amp Choices Since you like your F8 I thought this Plinius Class A amp might be worth mentioning as it has a low-bias mode so you can leave it on without killing your electric bill… https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650105469-plinius-sa-103-class-amps-amazin... | |
| Vacuum Tube preamp with my KRELL KAV 250a, a no no......WHY? Typically you want the input impedance of your amp to be more than 10 times the output impedance of the preamp for optimal performance. The input impedance of your amp is 10 kOhms so as long as the preamp is below 1k Ohms (as many are) it should ... | |
| Wharfdale Aura 2 The new listening space is pretty large & bright so I think floorstanders are going to be a little boomy. This doesn’t make sense to me. What are the room dimensions? If it’s large you might be better off with floorstanders as monitors mi... | |
| Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation @sounds_real_audio Your initial comment was silly and obnoxious and your subsequent responses are only making you look worse. It’s evident the one instance where you heard Parsifals they were compromised likely in both their placement and with too... | |
| Mad Scientist Audio Speaker Cable They seem to have a small customer base here in the US, but the feedback from users is consistently very positive from what I’ve seen. | |

| Sound stage of studio recordings This is why many people like preamps with a balance control and phase inversion switch. | |
| Tube preamp recommendation for a simaudio 760a amplifier Replacing your excellent Sachs pre could be tough, but the easiest recommendation if it’s in your price range would be the new Spatial Audio Raven preamp that Don was heavily involved in designing. Another that I think is worth a good look is the ... | |
| Wharfdale Aura 2 While I respect Wharfdale as a brand and that the Aura 2 may be a good speaker, I agree with @roxy54 that in the $2500 range there are a lot of excellent alternatives. I’ll mention Fritz Carbon, Revival Atalante 3, ProAc Tablette, and Reference 3... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords How’s the new speaker placement working out so far? Any thoughts/impressions? | |
| Is there anything other than a Benchmark DAC? Whoa! That’s quite a jump from $3k-$4k used. Frankly DACs in the $10k range are unfortunately outta my budget realm and not much personal experience there so take this FWIW, but If it was me and especially if I was looking for something differen... | |
| From Rossini Apex to ???? I seem to remember reading some people finding a Lampizator DAC to be a significant upgrade from the Holo May and may be worth trying. Best of luck in finding what you’re looking for. |
