| Seeking to Upgrade Subwoofer from SVS SB2000 I am unaware of any other high-end brand of subwoofer at the budget you want to stay within that would compete with SVS. | |
| Seeking to Upgrade Subwoofer from SVS SB2000 Your idea of a pair of SB-4000 is a very good one. As an owner of six SB16Ultras (2 stacks of 3 each) I'd say if you can stretch your budget, the SB16Ultras would be an even better choice and they are on discount now too, since the release of SVS'... | |
| Do you Know a Trusted Seller of Chinese Vacuum Tubes? I highly recommend Victor Kung at VKmusic.ca I've known and bought from Victor for over twenty years and he is an honest, stand-up guy. Very enthusiastic about music and providing the most cost-effective solutions for audiophiles on a budget. H... | |
| 300B or 2a3 SET Class A for Heretic Model A? PS: @yaluaka -- Best posts I've read in years. What I want is My-fi, not some else's idea of hi-fi. Stev eZ | |
| 300B or 2a3 SET Class A for Heretic Model A? All good amplifier possibilities by the OP. I'd like to suggest another possibility that would let you have your cake and eat it too -- Why not consider building an Ele-kit TU-8900 from Victor Kung at VKmusic.ca? I have one and really love it wit... | |
| Herron HL-1 Preamplifier, Solid State; Herron still in business? Thoughts about sound? I’ve known Keith for years and owned several of his preamps and phono amps, though I haven’t had the pleasure of owning an HL-1. However, right at the time he was introducing it I caught up with Keith at CES when he still made the trips to the sho... | |

| help me identify this amplifier Zip ties were indeed available in the 80s. I used them in the Navy in the late 70s and early 80s. | |
| Only two tracks to test your system, forever! A$AP Rocky -- L$D Chance The Rapper -- Summer Friends Bonus Track: Yosi Horikawa -- Bubbles Alternate Selection: Brian Bromberg -- The Saga Of Harrison Crabfeathers Lease-breaker Special: deadmau5 -- Raise Your Weapon Little Girl With Guitar:... | |
| THE NEW DCS APEX DAC VS THE PREVIOUS ROSSINI Thanks for the time and effort taken to share your listening session. Of interest to me since I am considering having the Apex upgrade done to my Vivaldi and the system you listened to at the dealer is similar though not identical to my own (D’Ago... | |
| WHAT IS THE MOST UNIQUE SONG THAT YOU HAVE EVER HEARD? Count me as another who was struck by the strangeness of the Napoleon XIV song, "They're Coming To Take Me Away" in 1966. It was immediately one of my 45 rpm purchases and I played it a lot. So much in fact that my Mom told me, "One more time, and... | |
| Warm, rich but detailed SS preamp (made you give up tubes) D'Agostino Momentum HD. I replaced all my Pass gear (XP-27, XP-30, X260.8 monoblocks) with D'Agostino Momentum electronics and love the sound. I have the greatest respect for Nelson Pass and his products, but the D'Agostinos made my Pass stuff sou... | |
| Bruce Edgar I had the great pleasure of meeting Bruce at one of the shows in Las Vegas. I'd already built a pair of his Edgarhorns and a Seismic subwoofer by going the DIY route -- using his "salad bowls" for the midrange horns, his horn shells for the LF, an... | |
| Best 40 to 50k used speakers I moved from KEF Blade 2s to a pair of spotless used Sonus Faber Aidas for just a little more than $50K USD, including shipping to the US from the UK. Since you're in the EU, presumably they could be had for less if you can find them.List price of... | |
| I really wanted to dislike D'Agostino Yep. I first heard D'Agostino Momentum electronics with large Wilsons at a major metro dealer. It made me go back to the drawing board in terms of my own system (Pass/KEF Blades). I've now got Dan's Momentum HD preamp and S250 stereo amp along wi... |
