| 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 | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Paul Simon Anthology | |
| 10k Towers with biggest soundstage? Having owned and been very frustrated with Maggie 3.5Rs, there are better options with tower type speakers, which are much easier to drive, tall with narrow faces, which don't cut off the room due to being similar in size to 2 doors= much better W... | |

| 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... | |
| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? KooKoo-ibo you should read the crap you wrote in your own response as well as Ralph's but I know you won't figure it out, so no further response from me | |
| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? @atmasphere While I admire all you've done in this industry, I never needed to see measurements (nor would I understand them anyway) to validate, or not, my ability to hear whether something improves my listening experience, be they power cords/... | |
| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? @kuribo My audio experience is quiet extensive, going back some 30 years before I was a partner in Audio Tweakers in the early 2000s. I own a Ric Schultz EVS 1200, which I highly praised for well over a year, having previously owned W4S, Emeral... | |
| Competitive class D amp suggestions I had the PS Audio M700s when MSRP was a realistic $2k. I liked them but they didn't couple well in my large room. Their M1200s were on my radar, but took too long to bring to market (just as well with their absurd $12K MSRP) I replaced them with ... | |
| Too many choices for R2R DACS--opinions appreciated Im watching an impressive in depth review, including what's under the hood: titled Holo Spring 3 R2R DAC - Punching Up! on You Tube |
