| Vincent SA 32 preamp I think that Audio Advisor, the internet audio store, carries both Vincent and Emotiva, so maybe they can tell you. | |
| Amp keeps shutting off I have read the Schiit Vidars have had some quality issues. Or perhaps it was their Aegir models. One of them supposedly had a lot of malfunctions. | |
| Revel Performa F228 Be speaker... thoughts? Many thanks gents. I will redouble my efforts to hear these in some retailer store. | |

| As you have moved on, are there any items you remember fondly...or most fondly? Some years back I had an old set of Spendor Prelude speakers, modest box speaker two ways. I drove them with a small Naim amplifier and they were very pleasant to listen to. Smooth and soothing when playing easy music, but could boogie too. I m... | |
| Horn speakers , high efficiency but not “shouty” One of my relatives is an experienced audiophile in the Midwest and he has one of the massive Klipsch horn speakers. The sound is super impressive and alive sounding. He uses very expensive Japanese mono tube amps. I think Shindo or Wavac. Lik... | |
| What is the most important component to consider while building a new system? Dollar amount can be a way to prioritize but I think that is a kind of different question than what is being discussed. I certainly believe it is the speakers that is super important and how they perform in the room they are used in. | |
| Revel Performa F228 Be speaker... thoughts? Thanks all for the input so far. I can get the F228 BE very deeply discounted. Still not sure it is worth it though, not sure it will be a major improvement. Wish to hear from others comparisons of the Revels to others in that price range, if peo... | |
| Great Recordings, Sonically Speaking - and Why. The original Dire Straits record, and Steely Dan’s Aja and Gaucho! And Dusty Springfield's Dusty in Memphis. | |
| Problem of an infrared remote affecting two components at same time This is very helpful. Thank you for the advice and thoughts. | |
| Best preamp with built in phono stage? I think many of the more expensive, older integrated amplifiers have phono stages built in, as that was expected back in those days. Better units from Sony, Denon, Yamaha, as well as Luxman have them. | |
| Stacking gear no more rack space does it affect sound quality I would be most concerned about heat dissipation of the unit having another one stacked on it. | |
| Clean AC power I also use Chang Lightspeed gear, I think the model is 6400. It works well for my system. I have read some negative comments about Chang's components some time back, but it seems to work well in my experience. | |
| Is there a point of diminished returns with amps and Harbeth 30.1s? @cd318 @jjss49 ,I was referring of course to published tests, ones that could be verified.If you could successfully repeat your experiment I’m sure there would be an awful lot of interested parties willing to assist you in your groundbreaking demo... | |
| Cartridge recommendations? I am very happy with my Goldring 1042 MM cart, switching from an AT one some time back. I believe it is medium to high compliance. |
