Coda or Parasound Monoblocks for Wilson Sabrina
CODA is more neutral than the PASS with a touch of warmth. I recently sold a CODA #8 and a Parasound A21+, both new designs. I sold the #8 because I needed the cash and the A21+ because I traded it in for the following (actually 175XD). Krell Duo... 
KEF celebrates sixty years with the LS60 Wireless
Philosophical Notes: Why The KEF LS60 Wireless Is Significant - The Absolute Sound I agree with this article. When I look at gear now I look at price first (not for affordability sake).  @mofojo You make a good point My passive LS50 is going str... 
KEF celebrates sixty years with the LS60 Wireless
The KEF Blade 1 has 9" woofers Blade 2 has 6.5" Blade 3 has 5" The fact that the #3 has DSP may mean that it can be placed close to the front wall.

It also has a single RCA analog input for my analog tuner. Now that really has me thinking of selling my CODA 07x preamp and getting this speaker. I already have a KEF LS50 from 10 years ago that I still love. I added a KEF KC62 sub to it and it i... 
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
@markmuse The LA4 + AHB2 is an awesome combo but I think an acquired taste. A warmer preamp (like my CODA 07x) and the AHB2 is likely a great choice for most. If you decide to sell a BLACK AHB2 in the future let me know, I need to eventually go ... 
Anthem STR Power Amp vs Parasound JC5
@auxinput What other amps do you think are not as dry as the Parasound A21. I recently had a Parasound A21+ and I thought it was rather warm sounding. I liked it and traded it in for a KRELL XD which is also a slightly warm amp from my frame of re... 
Competitive class D amp suggestions
D-Sonic amps. I owned the "800s M3a" for a few months and was recently thinking of getting one back since I was considering a low cost and decent sounding amp. They use Pascal modules. I did not get it since I did some other changes the negated th... 
Did Audiogon get sold to the Chinese or Russian Govt?
Hey Audiogon. Here is a debugging tip for your developers. When I get email notifications of new DM's. In my case, on gmail. I usually see the links posted by the sender. That really should be clamped down. It really is hard to censor.  
Did Audiogon get sold to the Chinese or Russian Govt?
Instead of using Amazon, how about saying ONLINE.  There should be a master list of restricted words. We could have some fun DM conversations knowing them.  
Did Audiogon get sold to the Chinese or Russian Govt?
I know all the things you guys posted. I was having some fun at A'gon's expense. Maybe I will get banned and save me some time from posting.   What I posted on a DM was, "search for this person's DSP book on Amazon"    "Amazon" is a restricted... 
Large room with low budget for speakers
Give GIKAccoustics a call and see if they can help you sort out your room before you spend that $30K.   You should create a Virtual System page on Audiogon. It will also help if you call GIK. I heard some Legacy speaker models in the past and I... 
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
I am interested in @ricevs new mod. His Voyager mod was great, substantial to my ears over stock.   
Better sound on rainy days?
I do hear all the frogs singing along to my music when it rains. Sort of an enhanced surround sound. I wonder what the frogs are doing in the 360 days it does not rain in my area.  
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
I was a little harsh on the CODA 07x preamp last night. I had been using it in my office because I needed the dual XLR outputs for my 2 amps, a CODA #8 and the KRELL 175XD. I always felt the Benchmark LA4 was better suited for my tastes with those... 
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
@markmuse I though I would add one more post since you once owned the Benchmark LA4 preamp. I am now listening to the LA4 connected to my KRELL 175XD and into my RAAL SR1a headphones. These phones are brutal if the signal is bad. Well what I am he...
