| Speaker that are 'KEEPERS" for the long haul!!! I was looking for a floor-stander that didn’t dominate the room with as full range as possible. With those constraints I landed on Joesph Audio Perspectives. I love them. I’ve changed everything else and they just get better and better. I’ve n... | |
| Reliable source for 6550WE tube - Audio Research Ref 6 Reach out to Brent Jessee. | |
| Audio research ref 6SE vs world When I moved away from my integrated tube amp I ended up introducing some “life” back into my systems by moving to a Cary SLP-05 with upgrade NOS tubes. I’ve had about a year and still very happy. | |
| Sweet Sounding DAC This is a difficult decision. To be honest I did not read the entire thread. When I started down this path I found myself wondering which component should I use to “tune”” my sound. I ended up “tuning” with a preamp. I too have and love Bricas... | |
| Power Cord choices Call TheaterMax and order one from the Cardas Clear line. | |
| An analogue preamp designer question I’d like a remote with volume and on/off if the helps. Over the years I’ve kind of gravities to pres about a 1/2 in taller not sure why. Today the be tactile feel I’ve have found is the Bricasti volume control on their DACs. Try an M3 if possib... | |
| Class D ICEpower 1200as2 vs. Purifi 1ET7040SA amplifiers I moved from Primaluna integrated to Bel Canto 600 and ended up with AGD Audions. Could not be happier. The Primaluna seemed to be lacking headroom, Bel Cantos no life but the AGD had what I was looking for. I still have tubes is the path as I... | |
| New to Preamp - Preamp suggestion around 10k I moved from a Rogue RP-07 to a Cary SLP-05 and it added like to my music. I hear the RP-09 is an all around better SQ than the 07. One thing that drew to the Cary was the tube rectified power supply. It is two larger separate units but if yo... | |
| Hidden Gems in Classic Rock Albums I have three: The Shape I'm In - The Band Industrial Disease - Dire Straits Hotel California - Eagles - Hell Freezes Over | |
| I feel it is time to upgrade my 1977 system....... I currently own AGD Audions with a Cary SLP-05 "tube" preamp. I know class D is a bit of curve ball but I think they are worth consideration. There are many great solutions at your budget. I would seriously consider AGD's with a good "used" pre. | |

| Bricasti Model 1 Series II DAC I had my M1se with network / renderer card upgraded to an S2. I think the actual upgrade, excluding shipping, took a couple of days. Cost was $2500 plus shipping. | |
| ZEN Mini S vs. Small Green Computer Sonic Transporter i5 music server/Ultra Rendu Streamer I run an i5 with 4tb SSD, Roon and Qobuz. I currently have about 3tb’s music loaded on the ssd. It has worked flawlessly for about 2 years. No more network issues, full integration between my music and Qobuz as well as separation. Could not be... | |
| Tube amps - what 3 things… I am not a EE and no where in the "Ralph" league but I would be careful of auto biasing. I think it tends to suck the headroom out of tube amps. Listen to Ralph and to ensure you don't end up with tube amp trying to sound like a solid state amp.... |
