| Upgraded from Klipsch to Volti - Was it worth it? If I remember right, Greg got his start by improving Klipsch speakers with selling crossovers and raw drivers/horns well before he ever started selling his Volti speakers. I've listened to his speakers several times over the years and they always ... | |
| CODA 8 V1 @robshaw I own the Coda #8 V1 with blue meters. The 18 watts of Class A is actually more like 10-12 watts into 4 ohms. I got this information directly from Doug Dale at Coda. | |
| Binding Post? @jasonbourne52 Your extreme ASR opinions are well known but honestly you aren't answering anything that the OP asked and are not contributing to his question! He never asked for opinions on if binding posts matter! | |
| Streamer Options Needed @lanx0003 I believe the N200 uses a TCXO clock. For sure it doesn't have an OCXO clock. It would be best suited for USB use IMHO. Just make sure your DAC has at least a TCXO or better. | |
| Buying used from Canada @chayro You will get a bill from Fedex. I bought 8 Auva 100's from them a few weeks back and received a bill for $136.00. | |
| Class of operation for Tube Power Amps @westcoastaudiophile It's not simple if you are looking to buy an amp and don't have access to it. @gkelly Thanks for the reply. I was looking at 3 different tube amps and none of them address the class of operation in the description or specific... | |
| system upgrade Bi-amping is good. Bi-wiring does nothing IMHO. | |
| New vs uses in your current setup 100% new in my system. I would consider certain used items under the right situation though. | |
| Finally heard Accuphase I've been to lots of shows over the years. Went to the last 4 AXPONA shows. I've learned one brand can sound outstanding one year and the very next sound terrible. It's so dependent on the room, associated equipment and music they are playing. Acc... | |
| Tube preamplifier lifespan Rectifier tubes get very hot and don't last as long. One reason I purchased the BAT VK-80. The downside is some tubes are very expensive and some tubes just don't last as long as they should. If you have more of a minimalist type tube preamp that ... | |
| the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile Magnepan Tympani speakers with Audio research electronics is what sold me in being an audiophile. This was back in the mid to late 70's. | |
| LTA Aero verses Holo May KTE NEVER had any delays or problems using USB on my Holo Audio May KTE. Using it with an Aurender N200. | |
| Footers under new speakers Just installed my Auva 100's on my Legacy Focus Se today. I also have the Smoothlan Regenerator. Great company. | |
| Midwest Hi-Fi Store you can count on… My local store is terrible. I buy everything online now and have gone to the last 4 AXPONA shows and usually get good discounts from various dealers. I tried negotiating with my local dealer and they were not willing to give me any deals and they ... | |
| What does your DAC sound like @daveteauk I'm not an ASR believer by any means although I do believe measurements matter. I have a relatively expensive DAC ($5600) and I do believe that there are differences in sound between DACS. I just don't believe most people have the liste... |
