| Pass X150.5 or Odyssey Stratos monos? The information on the Odyssey web site about the Kismet Reference amps is pretty sparse. Dimensions and 8 ohm power output is about it. Also, no price. Anyone know what these things cost?The weird thing is that the Stratos line is well documented... | |
| Short List of Amps I prefer over the Pass Labs XA25 or INT 25 I owned the Pass XA25 for several months and had a chance to compare it against some other amps. The original question asks which, if any, do you "prefer" over it. Any answer to that question is going to depend on at least two variables: your pers... | |
| Linda Ronstadt: The Sound Of My Voice It is not semantics. She was initially misdiagnosed with Parkinson's, but subsequently learned that it was progressive supranuclear palsy, which has many of the same symptoms. This is a similar story to Robin Williams, whose Parkinson's diagnosis ... | |
| Focal Aria 948, Revel F208, Tekton Double Impact badger_erichIf you are referring to the review by Zero Fidelity, he most certainly did NOT report that he "preferred" the Forte III. When comparing the Forte III against the Tekton DI he discussed many aspects of performance, some of which he thou... | |
| New tube preamp I have the Microzotl preamp @$4500, and I can confirm that it sounds quite excellent. However, I cannot offer any comparative assessment other than I like it significantly more than the Parasound JC2 solid state preamp that it replaced. | |
| Suggestions for bookshelf speakers that have great dynamics, budget of $500 used. Polk Audio is discontinuing their flagship LSiM line, and as a result they are unloading existing inventory at greatly reduced prices. You can get a pair of the LSiM703s for $600 new on Amazon (originally listed for $1499). They are unusual for a ... | |
| How do you owners of the Pass Labs int 250 like them? Well, kudos to those who feel able to spend $10,000-$20,000 on a DAC. $20,000 is more than I spent on my entire system, and everyone I know thinks I am a nut about high-end audio. The Pass X-250.8 is reasonable by comparison. It can be had brand n... | |
| High value, giant killer speakers? I would vote for two speakers.1. Tekton Design Ulfberht. Amazingly dynamic and realistic full range sound.2. Triton Reference. Powerful and refined.Both sell for about $9,000. | |

| Preview: CODA Technologies new generation number#8 Stereo Amplifier OK, I broke down and got the Coda amp. Fantastic. It replaces the Parasound A21 in my system and substantially improves on it. Something that I don’t think has been mentioned here is that you can get the amp in one of three configurations. #1 150 ... | |
| Preview: CODA Technologies new generation number#8 Stereo Amplifier Does anyone else find it odd that the No.8 is STILL not listed on the Coda web site. Are they still in business? | |
| What have other owners of Tekton Design Ulfberht Speakers discovered? I have had my Ulfberhts since early March. It is the most significant audio upgrade I have made in the last 40 years. I have never heard any speaker even close to this price that sounds like this. Their specialty is providing the illusion of live ... |
