| Mixed Brand Pre-Amp Power Amp Pairings that Work CODA 07x preamp + KRELL Duo 175XD what I use now. The Benchmark LA4 + KRELL Duo 175XD is superb though I no longer use it due to being short 1 connection. I sold my CODA #8 but ANY preamp + amp combos of the following 4 items is great, Benchm... | |
| Paradigm 3f vs 120h Thanks for the feedback, very useful. The Persona 3F will be more detailed than my Thiel CS3.7, which also needs space to breath. I have demoed the 3F, 5F, and the 9H. The 9H was the worst since the dealer had the bass cranked up to 11 on the spe... | |
| Which speakers pair well with Peachtree Audio Nova 150? I used my NOVA with KEF LS50s for 3 years. It was OK. The preamp section of the NOVA is a bit lacking as is the DAC. The amp section is not bad. I say this after testing each of the 3 parts separately. | |
| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? In my opinion, reviewers are mostly just one person's opinion and do not really add more than that. A few of them think they are either golden ears or know a lot more than the average bear. You see a few of them post on A'gon too with that attitud... | |
| Paradigm 3f vs 120h My room is not big, but I have it acoustically treated and my current Thiel CS3.7 work fine in there. The speaker would sound even better if I was not killing that first reflection so early but that is what I have to work with. I was thinking that... | |
| Paradigm 3f vs 120h @steve59 What type of TLC does the Persona need? I have a small room and now have electronics in this room that are ideally suited for the Persona. I am thinking of getting the 3F and letting my Thiel CS3.7 go. Just for the sake of change. | |
| All New Yamaha NS-2000A Loudspeakers Are On The Market I was debating about selling my gear in my Livingroom and getting the new KEF LS60, because I love the Blade design. However, I could not sell my Livingroom gear because I like it too much and I would regret it. Then I considered the KEF Blade wh... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC To change the subject. An interesting thing happened today. I brought back my CODA 07x preamp to my office and removed my Benchmark LA4 preamp from the office. I learned that the CODA 07x maybe useful with my, soon to be delivered, RAAL VM-1a hea... | |
| Upgrade from Benchmark Dac2 L I had a DAC2 HGC and now have the DAC3B (identical sonically). I recently tried a range of DACs for 2 systems I was building. I also played around with headphones so that was an additional DAC that I was trying out. A few of these DACs came out as... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @kairosman Unfortunately I have had too many DACs go through my home in the last 2 years to remember the details of the D90SE filters. I know I tried them all but do not recall which on I settled on. I do remember thinking that I should try a filt... | |
| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? @markmuse If you are inclined to go with tubes give the Schitt Freya+ a 15 day home trial. Only thing you have to lose is having more money in your wallet. It is a very quiet tube preamp. | |
| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? @markmuse Funny you should ask. My CODA 07x preamp was great with the Voyager. Read up on the CODA 07x. It is a slightly warm and tube fans love it. I am an SS fan but I really like it too. I am debating selling my complete Livingroom system (whi... | |
| KEF celebrates sixty years with the LS60 Wireless https://www.crutchfield.com/S-iQS0n3NK8vL/p_991LS60WWH/KEF-LS60-Wireless-Mineral-White.html I think there must be a few placement EQ modes on the LS60 app. The LS50 wireless has such modes and since everything is done digitally on the LS6... | |
| Tuner choice I got 4 tuners. 2 70's models that were refurbished and 1 from the 90's and 1 brand new ($7000) from last year. If I had know better I would not have spent the $7K and used only the 70's tuners I had. Though the only reason I got the 70's tuners (... | |
| KEF celebrates sixty years with the LS60 Wireless I am seriously considering selling my Livingroom system to get this. Currently I have a 10 year old LS50 with Benchmark AHB2 amp + CODA 07x preamp + Sansui T-9900 tuner + KEF KC62 sub. I lost the DAC in this system to my office system. So I am in ... |
