| Best300b.com??? Oh boy…I have no affiliation with best300B.com. If you run into an issue, your CC company should refund you. KR is on vacation till September. If they don’t have them in-stock, it will be a little while. | |
| Best preamp with built in phono stage? AVM only does 2 channel gear. The best selling units are definitely their 2 channel all in ones but the Ovation line is stunningly good. | |
| So damn hard deciding which tube preamp to buy! The AVM PA 8.3 - Seriously. With a tube output stage, two sets of RCA & XLR inputs with tone control and the phono stage is $23K. Add in SS output stage for a subwoofer and it comes in right at $25K. This is truly a world class preamp. It ... | |
| Integrated Amps - another thread... If you are happy with Rega's tonal profile, I would look at the following. Rega Elicit R - you get more power and a better transformer as you step up. Rega integrateds do improve as you rise in the line. I believe this lists for $3K.The Naim Na... | |
| So damn hard deciding which tube preamp to buy! This is really tough. No one has them in-stock. All special order. The key is finding the right feature set and read some reviews. In that range, it is tough for something to go horribly wrong. It is not like you are going to get an ARC, VAC ... | |
| Roon for high end audio? Roon is compatible with some of the highest end gear in the world. There are a variety of approaches that you can take. It sounds like you want a Roon Server on your network that will work and talk to your Savant system and the DBX Venu360. The... | |
| Non SVS subs with app or remote? Perlisten - all their subs have a phone based app. Technologically, they are incredible products. They aren't cheap but have incredible software and a monstrous amount of power. I am planning on running a D12s at AXPONA in my room. | |
| Air Tight ATM-300R or Shindo Cortese 300B Wow, that is miserable. I wish you luck in terms of finding the right amp. Good news is Shindo and Air Tight are not average amps and you aren't settling with either of them. Have you thought about the Luxman? It is phenomenal and ships with T... | |
| Air Tight ATM-300R or Shindo Cortese 300B I am certain Tom will ship directly to you from the UK or I could arrange for delivery to you as I am always happy to help the brand globally. If you were merely being polite, cheers and good luck. Understand completely. | |
| Air Tight ATM-300R or Shindo Cortese 300B If you are looking for something ultra musical and very traditional sounding for a 300B, check out the Art Audio Diavolo. It is supremely well designed and is a popular choice in Europe. Aesthetically, I think it is very good looking and build q... | |
| More watts or better power ? It sounds like you have the itch to upgrade not because you need to but you kind of want to. With that, it is more pressure testing each component and finding the weakest link in the chain. You have a great system that is better than many so you ... | |
| There us a Worldwide Panic on Availability of Vacuum Tubes When tensions were higher with Russia, this was more of an issue. Things have settled a bit. I am sure that interview was conducted weeks ago. Supply is tight, but it is not even to a point where prices are rising yet. It would not shock me if... | |
| Puritan PMS 156 vs. Audioquest Niagara 3000 I have as I am a dealer of both. I am not sure I would say that the highs were more aggressive with the Puritan. Just unconstrained. Both units reduce the noise floor and corrected some wonky behavior with speakers behaving unlike they should. ... | |
| does any r2r ladder dac have standby power mode? Can't speak about either of those but Rockna R2Rs have standby. The Wavelight is controlled from an app on your phone. | |
| More watts or better power ? Do you feel that the sound from the speakers is thin? Especially at moderate volume? If your sound is lacking weight, then an amp upgrade would make sense. But this sill be very obvious. Those are very good speakers. You can change them but y... |
