| Yamamoto A-08S and Audio Note ANe > Most AN speakers are driven by high $$$ amps to bring out the > best in the speakers and not by cheaper amps.Yamamoto A-08S is $3200. I guess that makes the Atma-sphere S-30 a cheap amplifier and the First Watt amplifiers cheap too.There i... | |
| Paradigm Studio 60 V5 Fingernails on Chalkboard Sounds like your amplifier is the responsible party.This seems like a reasonably priced tube integrated:http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?intatube&1293064678Here is a solid state amplifier which was not fatiguing to me and is a bargain of... | |

| How to divide up $4,500, Amp/Speakers I bet the Dayens Ampino would work very well with Merlins. | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Monsieurguzel,I had the Atma-sphere S-30 for awhile, and I didn't like it direct from source. I was auditioning the W4S DAC-2 with the digital volume control at the time.The highs were a bit clunky, a bit harsh and unrefined. I tried it both balan... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I do agree with the review. It's a well balanced amplifier, does everything well, some things very well and nothing at all poorly. It is very, very good with the LSA.Regarding speed, it's fast but not fast like the Atma-sphere S-30. On the other h... | |
| Preamp to mate with Pass 30.5 As long as your speakers are sensitive enough to get by from the gain of your amplifier only, then sure, you could get by with a zero gain or low gain pre. What speakers are they by the way?Looks like input impedance is 30 kohms, so you'll almost ... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Being a current Superfly owner and a previous Essence owner, I'll say Superfly no question. I do not regret the move in any way. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I decided to take Pubul57's lead. Using the Lightspeed Attenuator with the Music Reference RM-10 MkII. Sources are the db Audio Labs Tranquility SE DAC or the Ray Samuels Nighthawk phono stage.I don't miss having an active preamp at all.The source... | |
| Paradigm Studio 60 V5 Fingernails on Chalkboard The speaker is indeed 90% of the sound, it gives you the fundamental character of your system, but the remaining 10% can mean a lot.I think cables are snake oil. Buy good quality csbles at Blue Jeans cable and be done with it. If you hear any diff... | |
| Paradigm Studio 60 V5 Fingernails on Chalkboard I've been where you are. I am particularly sensitive to high frequencies, and if you are like me, then you'll need a wholesale replacement of your system. But you may not be like me ...I had a pair of the Paradigm Studio 20 speakers and the metal ... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Cwlondon,No, Zu does not use multi-level marketing. I believe there was an attempt a few years ago to pay owners to demo in their own homes to help get the word out in lieu of having real dealers. However, as I understand, that was met with limite... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Have had the Soul Superfly for a few weeks now. It's just what I was looking for, a Druid++. | |
| zu essence? Alas, another 2-3 weeks before the Soul Superfly ships. |
