| Amp for the Warefdale Evo I own the Aria monoblocks with Aria preamp, and they perform splendidly together. Highly recommended. | |
| Isotek EVO3 Syncro UNI How much improvement you hear will depend entirely on how "dirty" the electricity coming into your house is in the first place. "Cleaner" AC--law of diminishing returns. | |
| Preamp recommendations for my system please For truly balanced, I think you need to be looking at Atmasphere preamps. | |
| ProAc Response 2: CJ CAV45, Cary SEI 300B, or Cary Rocket 88? For many years, I owned Response 2.5's which I drove with a Cary CAD-301SE amp. This was a little-known power amp that they made for a while. It used a larger chassis than the '300 integrated, but also had a pair of 300Bs. I think Cary rated it... | |
| Seeing sounds and music..... I attended a performance of Prometheus in Hill Auditorium (Ann Arbor) with full light effects. It was groovy. | |
| HiFi vs MidFi Is that head in a vise, or head in a vice? | |
| LSA Voyager GAN 350 versus Merrill Audio Element Amps or AGD Grand Vivace and Vivace Amps The only multinational that I know that's got into this in a significant way is Technics. NAD is still stuck on Purifi. I have no idea what kind of modules are in the latest offerings from Bel Canto, but I suspect they're from one of the longer ... | |
| LSA Voyager GAN 350 versus Merrill Audio Element Amps or AGD Grand Vivace and Vivace Amps There are plenty of Purifi-based units in Europe: check out Nord, Apollon, Rouge [not Rogue], etc. To say nothing of Technics' products. | |
| Does Time alignment and Phase coherency make for a better loudspeaker? Angling back the front baffle of the enclosure usually isn't enough, in and of itself, to achieve the desired results. | |
| Tube Line Stage around $5k Backert Rhumba 1.3, RCA and balanced out, remote volume, easiest tube rolling on the planet. | |
| Belles Aria Signature and other Int Amp recommendation I agree that it would be best to have a chat with Johnny R. I've heard both, and I found the Signature more muscular and energetic than the regular, no doubt due to its increased power supply. At the same time, I found it a little less sweet or ... | |
| Belles Aria Signature and other Int Amp recommendation The Signature is a very different integrated to the regular Aria. You can't transfer any impressions of one to the other. | |
| Magico A5 or Sonus faber SERAFINO TRADITION or Harbeth 40.3 XD If considering Harbeth and possibly also Spendor (Classic series), take a hard look at the Graham LS 5/5. Also worth considering is the Yamaha NS-5000. | |
| Class D amp recomendations please There are plenty of recent threads on this subject. There are amps for every price bracket (which you don’t specify). Class D audio, as mentioned. Then VTV and several European makes, Nord, Apollon, etc. Then LSA Voyager, Peachtree, Orchard. ... | |
| Tube integrated amp recommendations Dare to be different with a unit from Icon Audio. https://iconaudio.com/integrated-amplifiers |
