| Agoners: Need Advice! Have 3K to spend on an Amp, what do I do with no way to audition? I second the Odyssey. It is the best sounding amp to ever grace my living room and there isn’t much out there for under 5 grand that will compete (except for Liberty Audio). I have the Stratos stereo extreme that you can get new from Odyssey for a... | |
| Old Amp vs. New Amp IMHO, Class D is not yet ready for prime time. | |
| Tube Pre+ Transistor Power will burn your power Amp. easily? I ran a Classe solid state amp with a Modulus 3 tube preamp for 20 years and presently run a Stratos solid state amp with a Rogue rp5 tube preamp. Your friend doesn't know what he is talking about. | |

| Potting a Denon dl-103r My ZU modified Denon DL103 is potted (from the factory) and sounds better than any 500.00 cartridge I have ever heard. | |
| Preamps: Rogue Audio RP-1 vs. Quicksilver Audio Line Stage Pre - Sonic Differences I have the big brother to the Rogue, the RP-5. I absolutely love it. I filled it with NOS Mullard tubes and the sound is to die for. I had no problems with it matching my amp whose input Impedance is 50K ohms. It blows away my Audible Illusion... | |
| Looking at a new non-SACD player, but still own lots of SACDs Get a used Esoteric. There was an Esoteric UX-1 player posted here a week ago for 2700.00. It uses the Burr Brown PCM1704 R to R ladder dac which is one of the smoothest. I have the UX-3 player with the same dac and transport and it is a keeper... | |
