| Hoping for a recommendation for stereo amp around $1500 or less ($2k max) @soix I see that you have recommended the D-Sonic M3a-800S amp a few times on A'Gon. Do you have this amp? If so what is the sound characteristic? Would it be a good match for a bright speaker? | |
| Looking For Best Headphones The RAAL SR1a are the best headphones and one of the best speakers I have heard. In fact, after the RAAL SR1a I no longer enjoy my Meze Empy so put them up for sale yesterday. I used to love the Empy.The RAAL is not cheap but I feel it is as good ... | |
| Tad me1 with 25w SET tueb amp, is it possible? I heard the ME1 with a Luxman 509x and then a m900u immediately afterwards. The m900u was so much better. The dealer told me that it was the bigger power supply in the m900u that was producing the magic.The ME1 is a great speaker. I was considerin... | |
| Buy a Simaudio Moon 390 or wait for a Bryaston BR-20 You will be going to more neutral gear with the new choices. Would your Be tweeters on the Kanata 2 be OK going away from the Parasound P6? I was thinking of getting a Paradigm Persona 3F at one time and the Sim and Bryston would not be what I wou... | |
| Soft, smooth organic SS integrated amps? The Peachtree NOVA line is smooth sounding. Mainly because the DAC is a little rolled off. The amp section of these units are rather good. The DAC and peamp are so-so but I enjoyed my time with it. | |
| Luxman tonality I thought this was a very good description of the tone of the Luxman.https://www.tonepublications.com/review/the-luxman-l-509x-integrated-amplifier/For argument and sake of reference point, if you were to put Boulder amplifiers (and we still had t... | |
| Kef LS50 They are great monitors. They sound great with good amplification. The best sound I have gotten from them were from a Benchmark AHB2 and my current setup with a KRELL K-300i integrated. These 2 are very different sounding but to me both sound grea... | |

| Looking for a DAC under 2k I have the same streamer, actually 2 of them, and they feed a tube DAC, the Audio Mirror Tubadour (for $1500 or $2800) and a Benchmark DAC3B ($1700). Both are amazing with the opticalRendu. The DAC3B is super clean and clear and the AMT3SE adds a ... | |
| Don't get it, why anyone would ask others "what sounds best"? Are you able to listen to everything you have interest in or even things you have never heard before? | |
| Are there any preamps that can work with 2 amps and a sub woofer? @ernie00 I just bought the CODA 07x and I believe it has all the features you require (have not received the unit yet). It definitely can support 2 amps and I am considering getting a second amp. With regards to subwoofer, there is a RCA L/R outpu... | |

| Kef Blades (1), being auditioned...please share your experience. Room acoustics are the main reason I cannot get the Blade2 at the moment. My side walls are too close. Love those speakers though.One option would be to look at DSP using convolution files as I use in my office. In this scenario you place the spea... | |
