| Maggie LRS vs .7 The first high end system that blew me away was fronted by Magnepan speakers, MMG's maybe, with a Hafler amp and preamp. I have considered them many times, but I have a long narrow room with the speakers on the long way and only have about 3' of ... | |
| What's the best 6NS7 tube you have tried in your Atma-Sphere MP-3 preamp? From Don Sachs whose electronics use 6SN7's octal tubes. He has heard most every variant of the tubes and concludes this: "In my gear, I use Linlai e series or the Shuguang WE6SN7plus. The best tube I have ever heard is the new Ray tubes selec... | |
| Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative” Excellent selections are offered herein. I'd suggest having a look at the Kinki EM-1X integrated amp, which would use about half of your budgeted funds. | |
| Cube Audio speakers in Northern California? jpan, I also run my Jazzon's with a First Watt J-2 which provides a sound quality that is very comparable to that of my tube amps. | |
| Cube Audio speakers in Northern California? Ozzy, I seem to follow in your footsteps in terms of gear... Don Sachs electronics, Spatial Audio and now the Qualio's which I a seriously considering... but it would be nice to sell my Cube Audio Jazzon speakers first. They are for sale on USA... | |
| Cube Audio speakers in Northern California? Thanks for the offer. I got a pair of Cube Jazzon speakers a while back which I love but am keen to upgrade to their Qualio speakers which are less fussy in terms of amps. I am parting with both of my Don Sachs amps which pair splendidly with th... | |
| Any Cube Audio owners moving to Qualio speakers? My friend has the original version but is upgrading to the SP? version. Ozzy62, we have been down the same path with a lot of gear, like Spatial and Don Sachs. If as my classical guitar friend in Italy says, The Qualios are half the price (of his... | |

| How do you pick your gear? Tips and insights are welcome. I pick my gear only after I have consumed a lot of adult beverages, it's my cardinal rule. The darnedest gear shows up at my door step sometime later and I just shake my head... I did it again. Great gear comes and great gear goes, I am just alo... | |
| An audio component you just can't let go I ripped all my CDs onto an external hard drive, but still am super fond of my Oppo 105 CDP. Of all the components I have had over 50 years of having good gear, the Oppo DAC's are the best combination of sonic excellence vs. price. I have had ... | |
| ???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard??? Easy question... my Pass Labs First Watt J2, which makes my Cube Audio Jazzon speakers sing. It has the euphonic sound of a tube amp. | |
| Why are Harbeth speakers expensive while its drivers are not. I have heard Harbeth speakers at many audio shows and they always struck as kinda "meh", nothing that I fancied at all.
