| C.d player with built in Pre amps i.e Wadia Raysonic 168 is incredible, and affordable. See 6moons review.I bought one, but had no intention to use the variable out. I found it so good, I sold a $3K preamp! | |
| Challenging Speaker Situation Carvers new ribbon speakers/sub should work perfectly | |
| ET LFT-VIIIB V.S. A. Gallo 3.1 Both benefit greatly from stands- a hidden expense, but then most speakers will.I would add Magnepan 1.6s, which continue to get Best in the price class- see new TAS Recommended Components.I was very hot-to-trot for the Gallos, when I finally hear... | |
| Is it good to drive the magnepan 3.6? When biamping you need to replace the OEM XO. On the cheap is either the DBX or Behringer CX 2310 or a bit more expensive Behringer DCX 2496 | |
| Personal Preamp Evolution. Dynaco kit, Mark Levinson ML 2, Audible Illusions, Melos, Classe DR 5, Klyne 7 series, Lector, PS Audio PCA, PS Audio GCP 200, now using the variable output stage of Raysonic 168 CD player. | |
| The best CD Player for the money The Raysonic 168 is upsamples to 24/192 has VARIABLE balanced tube output stage, allowing you to eliminate a preamp, unless you have other input needs. A mere $2549. It is beautifully built, handsome and sonically compares to... well, read 6moons ... | |
| Which Integrated got you off the merry go round? PS Audio GCC series. You can read many fine reviews | |

| Amp upgrade for 2 Ce Sig II Investigate Wyred 4 Sound amps. Their input stage is very tube friendly. They sound great and are very reasonably priced. Lots of current reviews. | |
| Can excellent tubes transcend modest amps? I owned Rogue M 150s and tried evertything aftermarket to get the top end to open up, including gold fuses, and cryoed tubes. Just couldn't compensate for the average output transformers. In fairness, better transformers cost quite a bit more. If ... | |
| magnepan 1.6 subwoofer recomendations Subs do more than provide deep bass. They enlarge the sound stage. I use a SVS 2039 PC Plus, a powered sub. It's a tall cylinder with down firing woofer. Recently I laid the woofer on it's side and was blown away. I bought a n oversized creeper fr... | |
| Best matching pre-amp from ARC or BAT for my XA60 Contact Pass. They know | |
| Any updates on the Nova Memory Player? To the Scarlotti, it's about 60% more expensive than an MP. I heard the Scarlotti in the same system as the MP. IMHO dCSs DSD upsampling sucks. Seems you need to add a PCM converter to get most redbooks to sound good. While I love the MP, I am not... |
