| Speaker Suggestions for Next Move DeVore. Audition the O93 and the Gibbon Super Nine and see which presentation is right for you. Happy Super Nine owner here and have no desire to change anytime soon. | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? DeVore Fidelity or Sons Faber. | |
| Looking for integrated solid state amp for daily usage Dayens Ampino! | |
| Looking for recommendations for integrated with a more “organic” sound. I loved the Ampino so much I now have Ampino separates. The preamp has a remote, though I never use it. I use them with DeVore Super Nines and I have no complaints with sound. Really love the Dayens tone, and the separates bring a different level ... | |
| Rumors of CD Demise Exagerated? New Hegel Haven’t heard the Hegel. But I own a Rega Apollo (being used as a transport) and I feed it into a Border Patrol DAC SE, and I’d say I get maybe 80% of the way to the gorgeous, beautiful, present sound of my analog set up. This puts all manner of c... | |
| CD Transport Love my Rega Apollo as a transport! Nice analog sound. Yes transports sound different. | |
| Aric Audio I have the transcend mm phono, had it for a little over a year now, and was going to email Aric directly but I’m happy to jump in here. Every time I play records I enjoy this unit more. It’s been a wonderful playground for tubes and SUTs, really s... | |
| Affordable SS that sound like Tubes I love my Dayens Ampino monos, and they definitely have a smooth sound. Check out their line. Also I’d look into Sugden, Audio By Van Alstine, and Linear Tube Audio (tube life on those is supposed to be looooong) | |

| What was the last CD you bought (Name, and year issued)? The new Oren Ambarchi - Shebang. Just ordered it from bandcamp an hour ago. | |
| The Music at AXPONA 2022 Wait they play wind chimes, waterfalls and percussion music at hifi shows now? It’s not all Aja and Dark Side? I need to start going to hifi shows! | |
| Best Phono You've Heard Under $2200 I love my Wright Sound 200 wpc that I acquired used few years ago. With good tubes it's super quiet and smooth, and there's dual mono adjustable gain up to 66db. Works great with my HO Grado Sonata. The downside is that inputs and outputs are ... | |
| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? Yeah, I have a Rega Apollo and a Schiit multibit DAC. Sounds wonderful! Very ‘analog’ sound. I also want to hear that Denefrips DAC. Invest in digital and it will sound fantastic. Sam in Massachusetts | |
| CD Player Recommendations… I love my Rega Apollo. Smooth sounding, for sure. A little over a grand but I am real happy with it. Fun to use, too. | |
| Dream Speakers = landed. Now I need to feed them! I should mention too that I’ve got Dayens amps and love them. The Dayens Ampino sounds amazing and Verty Audio on Long Island have been great to work with. |
