| Dual Zone Amps I bought a used Sanders Sound Systems MagTech amp for the LRS+ speakers. I spoke with Roger Sanders about how to incorporate the headphones. He gave me a few ideas and along with some other folks in the RAAL community, I solved my issues. Here is ... | |
| Robbie Robertson has passed away :-( @bdp24 I have not seen Once we Were Brothers. I will try to check it out. I was reading a very long article about Quincy Jones the other day and I was thinking this is the most interesting man in the world. Robbie should also be very interesting. ... | |
| Robbie Robertson has passed away :-( That 1987 debut album was my fav for close to 2 decades. I only started listening to the Band after getting into RR solo material. My fav meeting of the minds was the movie the Color of Money. My fav director, musician, and actor. | |
| Is a GAn amp worth the switch? I am listening to the LRS+ and the PeachTree GAN400 as I type this. The GAN400 has a bit of hardness on the top that is not evident in a much more expensive amp I tried with LRS+. However, I can say that the PeachTree GAN1 is much better on the LR... | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? @mbmi Have you heard the CODA #16? To my ears, it is one of the very best amps out there, and I have a feeling a lot of others feel that way. The CODA #16 is as good as the T+A HV, which I am considering today for my LRS+ and RAAL SR1a & CA-1a... | |
| The best speaker cables you’ve had I am selling my best speaker cables. The Audience FrontRow. Only works with mono blocks due to the short length. I sold my monos. | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? @pennfootball71 the 2 most recent KRELL models I spoke of are the same as the KRELL 400i except for the lack of fans and the new 2nd order harmonics feature Krell talks about. The 400i also is more robust than the lower models and can even go down... | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? @pennfootball71 My favorite amp is the new Krell 400 watt class A amp. Nothing is a better package for 35k until you get to the Audionet Heisenburg. Can you tell us more about the sound of the KRELL. I am a huge Duo XD fan and had 2 of those it... | |
| Do I REALLY need preamp and what do I upgrade the amp too? Since you only stream this is what I would do for gear. Sell the following: Rotel RC-1590MKII Rotel RB-1582 MkII Gustard DAC-X26 Pro (I owned this and liked it) 2x AQ Colombia RCA interconnects Do not use your MacMini direc... | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? I am the person that said the HV sounds a little warm, which most people like. I think it sounds like the amazing KRELL Duo XD (owned before) that I have raved about. However, I do not think it would pair well with the NS5000 that I have now. I c... | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? @blisshifi How does the Cambridge Audio Edge M compare to your other amps. Is it a warm sound or more neutral? I am looking for a neutral sounding amp and monos would be great since I have my fav speaker cable gathering dust (very short length). I... | |
| Balanced/Differential tube preamplifier recommendation? I have had a few preamps that are within your price range (new or used): Topping pre90 (a PIA to use and does not work well GAIN wise with a lot of amps) Benchmark LA4 (no euphoric sound with this one) Holo Serene (like the LA4 but a touch wa... | |
| Sonore OpticalRendu I have the top end power supply and cable from Sonore for the OpticalRendu. Not worth it compared to the standard power supply they sell. My system is uber revealing, especially with my RAAL SR1a phones and I could not tell a difference. I had 3 o... | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? Mola Mola Class D is ancient in Class D terms. | |
| Class A integrated amp recommendations The first 90 watts on the KRELL k-300i are Class A. It goes to 150 watts at 8. It is powerful and sounds wonderful. There is one listed on A’Gon. I once owned this integrated and since it was so good, I upgraded to the KRELL Duo 175XD amp. Separa... |
