| Pass Labs 1st Watt Rundown Steve Guttenberg owns four of the First Watt amps, and also the XA-25, and he reviews and compares them on his youtube channel. Hes also has some really great interviews with Nelson Pass. I see jaduio1 already posted a link. :) | |
| Jay's Audio CDT2 MK3 hum Sorry my comment is not helpful to Tomasz, but I'm interested that you mentioned PV and old power lines as the cause of the high voltage. I recently installed solar PV, and occasionally one or two of the panels stop producing power because of hig... | |
| BEST CD TRANSPORT For the people who recommended the PS Audio SACD Transport - any concerns about the reliability of the transport mechanism? I read in another thread that it uses a Denon & Marantz drive which is supposed to be more reliable than the cheap driv... | |
| Choosing between Cornwall IV, Trio15 or X4 Ultra I've got a similar size room, although the vaulted ceiling is lower, about 9 to 15 feet. I'm also considering the Volti Rivals and the Pure Audio Trio15 Coaxial. Would like to hear from anyone who has compared them. I'll use a Pass Int-25 which... | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. @ledoux1238 Is it possible to run the LFT-8c with an integrated amp? Can I run balanced interconnects from the CD player to the woofer and from the CDP to the amp? Or from the CDP to the woofer and then from the woofer to the amp? "ust a r... | |
| Wide dispersion + high efficiency + detail + coherence in a speaker? 5 year old thread but still relevant. I'm also interested in trying high efficiency speakers, maybe the Classic Audio smaller speakers, or maybe the T3.4 or T7. Also interested in the Reference 3A Reflector. I don't think it is possible to liste... | |
| What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world? @jeffseight Are you still planning the stand mount speaker comparison? | |
| Boulder 866 experience? Users? I'm looking at a used Boulder 866, and I'll be the fourth owner if I get it. I am kind go surprised at this much turnover, but at this price level, people are often experimenting and upgrading, It would be interesting to know what percentage of... | |
| The Sonus Faber Maxima Amator...worth a look. Here is the updated SoundStageUltra review of the Maxima. | |
| New Sonus Faber Electa Amator 3...anybody heard these yet? A new review of the EA3 at hometheaterhifi. | |
| Cookies. Just another reason AGon sucks Agree with the OP, the signal to noise ratio at audiogon keeps getting worse. | |
| The Sonus Faber Maxima Amator...worth a look. Lots of interesting quotes from Livio Cucuzza, SF’s chief design officer in the mini-review. Sounds like they had time on their hands with COVID and wanted to try to perfect a two driver speaker: Cucuzza said “I have always been a fan of pure tw... | |
| The Sonus Faber Maxima Amator...worth a look. There is a preview here: The Maxima Amator has the same drivers as the EA3 but a new cross over design and "significantly more cabinet volume to play deeper and tighter than its stand-mounted sibling".Looking forward to the full review at SoundSta... | |
| More power for moderate listening levels? What is the volume level setting when you crank it up and notice the strain? The XA-25 (same amp used in the INT-25) was tested by Stereophile at 80Wpc into 8 ohms and 130Wpc into 4 ohms. It does switch to class A/B at higher power output levels,... | |
| Any repair shops handling Sony DVD S9000 ES? I asked the same question recently and was advised to send mine to the landfill. My 9000 ES failed to power up after sitting idle for a few years. Any ideas what might have failed? And are there any parts that can be salvaged before it goes i... |
