| Auditioning The Fyne 703 Soon Jim Smith of Get Better Sound replaced his Tannoy Canterbury speakers ($30k) and all Duelund external crossovers ($10k) with Fyne F703 speakers for his RoomPlay Reference sessions. I believe he's driving them with the ASR Emitter II integrated.htt... | |
| Adding a Herron VTSP 3A/360 Preamplifier to the system. Congratulations. I know that feeling. | |
| Best SS Amp - Pass Labs X350.8 vs. Luxman M900u vs. Ayre VX-R Twenty I'd replace your Oppo first.Try to audition a Coda Continuum No. 8 ($5k retail without meters).I haven't heard any of the amps on your list. There are some comparisons of Coda and Pass if you search the internet. | |
| What do you think is the best integrated amplifier under 1000 I agree with all who recommend Rega.If you like your hip-hop loud, these two probably won't have enough power. I'll throw them out there anyway for others with more efficient speakers.My personal favorite is the Kinko Audio KA-101 Pro. It drives m... | |
| Adding a Herron VTSP 3A/360 Preamplifier to the system. The latest and final line stage, according to Keith, is now called Reference. New units have Reference with Stereo Preamplifier underneath in smaller font on the lower right corner of the faceplate not VTSP-360 with Vacuum Tube Stereo Preamplifier... | |
| Zu introduces Soul 6 I don't understand the love for Zu. Every time I hear their speakers at a show, it is one of the worst rooms. Constantly. Confounding as they often use Pass amplification. They do create a cool atmosphere though.Maybe they make good speakers and j... | |
| Recommendations for Speakers that can be used close to the rear wall. You will lose nothing with Larsen speakers in your application. I'm not speculating like is typical of most comments on this forum; I owned a pair of 8.2s for a couple of years.It typically takes me hours to dial in the speaker/listening position ... | |
| PS Audio DirectStream DAC measurements by ASR This generation of audiophiles know nothing of Stereo Review and Julian Hirsch. Sheesh, here we go again... | |
| A Newcomer to Digital Looking to Upgrade My Dac, Tubes? Ideas? The Black Ice FX DAC is excellent.Or build one of the lower cost Audio Note Kit DACs.Many great, low cost DACs these days. With that in mind, spending more money on a tone control to make a bad DAC less annoying makes no sense. | |
| LSA Voyager GAN 350 versus Merrill Audio Element Amps or AGD Grand Vivace and Vivace Amps Please provide more information about the power supplies which can play a major factor in sound quality. What can you tell us about that?"At least it is WORDS from someone who listened."Please tell us about your listening impressions of the i.V2 o... | |
| LSA Voyager GAN 350 versus Merrill Audio Element Amps or AGD Grand Vivace and Vivace Amps Yes, it's especially confusing since the i.V2 is not called an Ultra like the i.v4 Ultra version.The i.V2 is a dual mono design.The i.V4 Ultra is a quad mono design (the one reviewed in my original post).Comparing the i.V2 to i.V4 is apples to app... | |
| LSA Voyager GAN 350 versus Merrill Audio Element Amps or AGD Grand Vivace and Vivace Amps The i.V2 is the two channel version of the i.V4 Ultra. Exactly same design, just 2 vs 4 channels. | |
| LSA Voyager GAN 350 versus Merrill Audio Element Amps or AGD Grand Vivace and Vivace Amps Please provide proof about your Legacy i.V4 claim; schematics, photos of the interior. Have you listened to the i.V4? How do you know the Legacy isn't an enhanced design like the EVS? | |
| What is the latest greatest word in isolation footers for amps? stands? I second Iso Acoustic products (Gaia mentioned above). Best price/performance ration of similar products I've tried. | |
| LSA Voyager GAN 350 versus Merrill Audio Element Amps or AGD Grand Vivace and Vivace Amps Another option. Perhaps some of the other amps mentioned above were among the other amps reviewed prior to this one. The i.V2 is the two channel version.https://www.dagogo.com/legacy-audio-v4-ultra-multi-channel-amplifier-review/ “The i.V Ultra am... |
