| ???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard??? I wouldn't (at this point in my journey) choose and integrated amplifier for myself, I prefer a separate preamp and amplifiers; specifically a tube preamp with both tube and SS amplifiers.....at least in my main system. The Hegel H590 (now H600) ... | |
| Holographic DAC With Air And Decay "The OP seems to have disappeared" - Seems to happen quite a bit recently, wonder if it's click bait to keep engagement up. | |
| Tube Amp or Tube Pre Amp Definitely a tube preamp, with either solid state or tube amp. I have an Aric Audio Motherlode XL preamp driving: CODA S5.5 SS amp, Tubes4HiFI KT-120 tube amp, and an Aric Audio Transcend "Push Pull" EL 34 amp. The Motherlode excels driving all 3 ... | |
| Stand Mount Speakers for Classic Rock that sound alive at lower volumes ? Sorry I missed the stand mount part, the Voltis are floorstanders....my bad | |
| Stand Mount Speakers for Classic Rock that sound alive at lower volumes ? Fyne Audio, Fritz, or Volti Razz or Luceras. I didn't see a price range (or maybe missed it), so there's a range from $3,000 to $15,000. The Voltis in particular sound great at all listening levels, very dynamic. | |
| Which power cord should you buy first Salc First I'd make sure to have high quality power receptacles, something like the Furutech GTX-D (G gold or R rhodium), Oyaide R1, or even the cost effective Acme Audio Labs silver plated 20 AMP cryo and CFC coated at $60 Then as others have s... | |
| Looking for my End Game Speaker Calgarian5355 That is a great list of speakers, and a great idea to spend time at Axpona.....I live in Chicago and go every year. Definitely spend a good amount of time with the Joseph Audio speakers, they almost always demo well. I would also p... | |
| A brief review of GR Research Bully I've not heard the Bully speakers, so can't comment on them. I did have Danny upgrade the crossover on a pair of vintage Infinity RS Kappa 7s, and in the end they were expensive. Part of that cost was my choice, Danny offered me a couple of level... | |
| Phono preamp for a Denon 103R cartridge. You seem to be familiar with Aric Audio, why don't you give Aric Kimball a call to see if his Super Phono preamp might fit the bill for you. At $2,500 it's more than your stated budget | |
| Holographic DAC With Air And Decay ++++++1 Denafrips Pontus II (latest edition). I have had mine for a few years, and it is still one of the most musical and enjoyable DACs I've ever heard.....and for the $2,000 cost, is a ridiculous deal. I run mine out of a Denafrips Iris DDC (an... | |
| ???YOUR Personal Favorite???Why??? ++++1 for Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene speakers, have been thrilled each and every time I've listened to them......seem to be a little less sensitive to electronics. | |
| XLO Signature and Reference Interconnects I did order a set of the XLO Reference 3.1 RCAs from Parts Connexion (thank you mclinguy), I'll test them and see if I want to order another set | |
| XLO Signature and Reference Interconnects mclinnguy Thank you for the input, much appreciated | |
| New Radiant Acoustics Clarity 6.2’s Wow, they do look interesting. They seem to use the same Purifi woofer (or close to) that Buchardt Audio uses in their Anniversary 10, which I am quite familiar with; and really do like a lot.....and is also Danish. I have the Buchardt Audio S400... | |
| Eversolo or Aurender: Options and Opinions tony1954 Thank you for the update, and great that the repair was minimal......many times the surprise is the other direction |
