| Amps for KEF Blade 2 KEF uses a variety of amps to demo the Blades. The latest love connection seems to be with Hegel. The new Hegel 590 integrated and the Blade have some sort of development deal. | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? Did not read this thread but here is my 2 cents. I am going to buy the BENCHMARK HPA4 HEADPHONE / LINE AMPLIFIER unheard and unseen (just released). I already have the Benchmark AHB2 amp. I will buy 1 more of these amps to run in mono mode, I wi... | |
| Looks like Tidal is doomed! @hgeifman If you have ROON with Tidal integration you can just backup the ROON catalogue. I asked the ROON guys about this a few years ago and they said the TIDAL track\ names would also be saved in the backup. | |
| THE SHOW 2018 Pretty confusing with this show and next weeks show being cancelled. I had no clue a show was being held in S. Cal.this weekend. I am pretty well informed on the audio goings around this area. | |
| Which is the best audio magazine? Likely none meet the criteria you described. However, my favorite audio reviews are on https://www.soundstage.com/ | |
| T+A elektroakustik HV Series Components @david_ten I heard the T+A MP3100HV Music Player and the 3100HV integrated playing at the LA Audio show. They were playing on Wilson speakers and sounded excellent. I was surprised that the room presenter, Sunny Electronics, had the confidence t... | |
| T+A elektroakustik HV Series Components @musicfx,Does the T+A MP3100HV Music Player support a direct connection to the home network via Ethernet. That is can I ditch USB entirely to go Ethernet to connect to a ROON server? I believe the T+A MP3100HV Music Player is a ROON endpoint now. | |
| Luxman vs Pass Labs Awesome feedback Pokey77. You saved me a trip down to Newport.How would you rate the Luxman 900 M/C amp/pre combo vs the best integrated boxes you have heard? | |
| New D'Agostino Monoblocks...$250,000 I was at an event at Sunny's in Covina, CA where D'Agostino was demoing his new line with Wilson Darth Vader speakers (about 4 years ago). He described how he creates his products. He made it sound like it was all based on hearing and trial and er... | |
| Int Amp for Thiel CS 3.7 @thieliste The guy with the long A'Gon thread on the dozens of amps he is comparing, user Whitecross, mentions the Bel Canto gear, though I think it was the top of the line model. He was very positive on it. | |
| Int Amp for Thiel CS 3.7 @thieliste The lab report has an interesting take on the power.http://files.constantcontact.com/e7f722a0701/c7b75612-04bb-4d7a-9221-0fd0364a6952.pdfJust saw this, https://www.stereophile.com/content/luxman-l-509x-integrated-amplifierStereophle Mea... | |
| Int Amp for Thiel CS 3.7 @audiotroy,The Luxman I referenced is not the AX model you are describing. It is the brand new UBER Luxman integrated, Luxman L-509X. It is supposed to be a mix of the top of the line separates in a single chassis. Similar in goal as the T&A i... | |
| Best sounding compact integrated amp < $2k? Peachtree Nova 150 powers my passive KEF LS50's and it sounds excellent.A Hegel integrated, such as the Rost, is a great choice.Powered speakers such as the KEF LS50 would be an excellent choice when space is limited. | |
| Int Amp for Thiel CS 3.7 Since you mentioned 10K as your price point. I would also recommend the Benchmark AHB2 (3K USD each). Buy 2 of them and run in mono block mode. You will also need a preamp. I have one of these amps in my office running in stereo mode and I am seri... | |
| Int Amp for Thiel CS 3.7 Hegel integrated sounded very good with KEF Blade. Should also sound good with my second favorite speaker, Thiel CS 3.7. The Hegel separates were a little better with the Blades..or the new Luxman integrated would be an interesting choice. It is ... |
