| Is this a sideways move? Those amps will be different, some very little, some a little more, but not necessarily "better", so the question comes down to the system: driving those small Harbeths, how much improvement am I going to see, even if I choose the "best" among tha... | |
| Purifi v Gan amps? After all, we all know that all amps based in bipolars sound a certain way, and all amps based on mosfets sound another certain way. | |
| Need suggestions on efficient book shelf speakers for a Pass Labs XA3.5 Fritz Carrera Be or one of his other models. | |
| Class D Amplification Announcement You can assume that he has. The journalistic integrity of TAS is unquestionable. Furthermore, I have never heard of Mr Valin being proven wrong. His hearing and experience are so accurate that they are virtually objective. I immediately assu... | |
| Tube Rolling Advice for the Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme? Yes, the 12AU7-S ART's surpass new-production Mullards (supplied by Backert as standard) and Genelex Gold Lions. I don't know of any other new-production 12AU7's that would be contenders for the crown. | |
| Is blasphemous Music ok? For your listening pleasure. | |
| Need some help with Brandenburgs Pinnock, Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, and Savall all worth exploring. Among the older recordings, Richter is highly regarded. | |
| Class D Amplification Announcement Pontifs going to pontificate. Can we assume he has thoroughly tested all the offerings from Atmasphere, AGD, Merrill, etc. etc.? | |
| Speaker Questions If you're seriously considering Polk, you need to step up to the Reserve series, which I see are also available in white. They have been receiving excellent reviews. | |

| Tekton haters and bashers you just got a new target! No, nothing remotely flagship... | |
| Flat speaker cables versus round core cables The Silversmith Fideliums are not bright. Audio Envy SP-12 aren't exactly flat, but they're not round either. | |
| Shrill high frequencies Did you try the Isotek PC that came with the unit? I too have a Sigmas and have noticed no brightness at all. I use a Synchro with it, but a regular PC would be fine. | |
| Tube Rolling Advice for the Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme? I will endorse the latest iteration of the Psvane tubes as the best new-production 12AU7's to use in the Backert. In my experience they are only surpassed by the NOS Amperexes that I mentioned above, which are very hard to find and very expensive... | |
| Help me choice Audioquest speaker cables My dealer suggested I USE REDWOOD cables. I bet he did, because he's an entirely disinterested party. Quality cables do make a difference, but there's a law of diminishing returns. You don't need to spend anything like that much to achieve c... |
