| New Sonus Faber Electa Amator 3...anybody heard these yet? So, I upgraded from the Signums to the EA3 and am very pleased but wondering about amplifiers. The EA3 is not an easy load per the Hifi News lab report copied below. I have a Pass INT-25, an integrated version of the XA-25 that provides 50w C... | |
| Adding a SS amp as a 2nd amp for my tube rig has been a plus I did the same thing this summer - too hot to run my Supratek preamp and DeHavilland GM70 amps, so I bought a used Pass INT-25. I’m using the same cables for each system so I have to switch them out, but that’s easy to do. The price on my SS vs tu... | |
| Integrated Amplifier Suggestions? If you are considering used amps, you might also add the Pass Labs INT-25 to your list. Another option might be the Ayre Ex-8 integrated/streamer/DAC, also available under $5000 used. I don't have any experience with 95F but from the stereophil... | |
| Does anyone have a Sony DVP-S9000ES that reads the SACE layer I just tried to power up my 9000ES, initially got the red standby light, and now nothing. Has anyone tried to repair these with no power? I hate to send it to the landfill. If it is not worth repairing are there any parts I can recycle out if it? ... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Audio Mirror/ pick one for me please How does the AM Tubadour III SE with streaming compare to using CDs in a good quality CD player? I have a 2005 Accustic Arts CD player that I'm very happy with (24 bit/96kHz Enhanced Multi-Level Delta-Sigma DAC, 8-times oversampling, Burr Brown ... | |
| DAC choices -- help me cross the line I'm looking for a DAC to use for streaming Tidal or Qobuz. For the Tubadour what is the best method for streaming? Purely based on reviews I was considering the Lumin T2 as a one box streamer and DAC. Also, I'm very interested in the Audio Mirr... | |
| Seeking a Tidal full MQA streaming DAC @mizikeny Any updates on the T2? I've just started looking for a streamer/DAC and is sounds like a good option. | |
| what happened to Golden Tube? I still have GTA SE40 monoblocks that I bought used almost 20 years ago. Very light use the last 10 years, but they still work. I plan to do the SonicCraft updates at some point. I should really sell them as I have other amplifiers that I use ... | |
| New Sonus Faber Electa Amator 3...anybody heard these yet? Has anyone compared the EA3 to any of the other versions of the Guarneri? I had the Amati Homage about 15 years ago, sold them when I moved, but still have the Signum monitors. I've been thinking about getting a version of the Amati again (use... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 A forum member has the upgraded JA Perspectives listed for sale on the other site. If I were in driving distance of KY I'd be loading them into my van right now. :) Really eager to try these speakers, and the next RMAF is another 15 months away,... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 Personally, I have no use for people describing their "feelings" when describing audio gear. If they can relay how it sounds, that's helpful.But emotional reactions completely vary between people I'm sure you're probably right, and if I did mo... | |
| GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week Terry - thank you for the Coda review! Have you compared the Sanders/Coda Magtech to any of the Coda or Pass amps? And any thoughts on the Sanders "voltage regulator that is essentially 100% efficient"? I'm assuming there must be some trade-of... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 Bumping this thread - anyone have more comments on the Perspective2 in the last year? I'm hoping to hear them soon, or maybe after the pandemic. Had to bump the thread when I read this. :)<Keep in mind that to many the sound they are “hearin... | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? "I've got a Pass XA30.5 and a Golden Tube SE40. I'm rigged to switch between them depending on what I'm listening to. Both so good, but different."What preamp and speakers do you have, and can you say more about the differences? I have GTA SE... | |
| RCA connectors for whole house audio system? Thanks for the reply - I did buy RCA terminals at Radioshack thinking that I would solder them to speaker wire, but wondered if it's better to remove the existing RCA's and splice the wires, rather than add another RCA to the line. Do you have any... |
