| Looking to replace a CD transport... About 4 months ago, I bought a Audiolab CDT6000 ($700) can't imagine any in your higher price range being worth the extra $$$ | |
| Honest Experience on Effects of Subwoofer Please From personal experience, deeper bass rarely loads seamlessly in the same plain as the mid/highs, and will likely interfere with them due to the greater vibration that they create Some 10 years ago I bought SVS subs as they were inexpensive compa... | |
| Speakers for Second System Definitely check out LSA speakers from Underwood HiFi. He sells direct, and unlike PS Audio, he passes the saving on to the customer. AND, they have received really good reviews. I have their previous open baffle speakers and love them hth | |
| Cary Audio Design CAD-120s mkII or Music Reference RM-9 MkII? DOH! I was thinking of the amp | |
| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? @niodari Having been both a dealer and an audiophile for many decades, and having owned plenty of amps, including SS, tube, and hybrids, after 1.5 years owning a Voyager, there really isn’t much in the $3K range that comes close, new or used. An... | |
| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? @markmuse I think Ric Schultz mods the M225s | |
| Cary Audio Design CAD-120s mkII or Music Reference RM-9 MkII? I had a RM-9 decades ago, and it is/was excellent, BUT, AFAIK, it does not have balanced outs, whereas the Cary does. So, that would be my recommendation | |

| Competitive class D amp suggestions Some amplifier power supplies/transformers can create high frequency vibrations when they are not properly isolated (Ric Schultz/EVS addresses that with his mods), as well as external vibration from the speakers feeding back into the kit Other ve... | |
| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? Hurry, TMR just listed the Technics SU-R1000 Stereo Integrated Amplifier; Remote; DAC; MM / MC Phono (41432) for $7899 | |
| Competitive class D amp suggestions The supposed harshness in the Voyagers high frequencies: As a long time audiophile, I can tell you that vibration and isolation make a huge difference in sound quality. All my kit is currently resting on Nobsound Springs (see Amazon), which are ve... | |
| Competitive class D amp suggestions The M1200s are now $4398. Stock Ice Edge boards but their own tube input. Ric Schultz introduced his EVS1200 a good year before them using the same Ice Edge modules, but in one chassis, plus all his technical and mechanical skills. No longer made... | |
| Wyred SX-1000 Mono’s or PS Audio S700 Mono’s? It seems Stradas are known to need the right amp specs to sound magical. Im strictly guessing here, with my own experience where I went through 5 different class D amps in ~1.5 years. Ric Schultz's EVS 1200 was a big upgrade from all the others, b... |
