| The best speaker cables you’ve had Audience FrontRow. Though sitting idle these days as I no longer have monoblocks. I should have gotten a long cable. | |
| Amp question with size constraints I have a differing opinion on the cables for the Benchmark stack. After using the BM stack for a long-time I found that the Benchmark XLRs sounded the best with the BM stack. Not so with other gear. I am setting up my Livingroom speakers today wi... | |
| Buckeye amps Anybody get the "Mono Purifi 1ET7040SA Amplifier, v2" from Buckeye Amps? | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 @ja_kub_sz How does the Gustard R26 compare to the Musatec 005. I have owned the 005 and considered it a very smooth and detailed DAC. | |
| Need to build a headphone system I am going to sell the BEST headphone amp for the RAAL SR1a and CA-1a, the VM-1a amp. I am going to use a CODA #16 2-channel amp with these phones instead. It is not as good as the RAAL VM-1a but close enough and I want to raise funds for a second... | |
| Benchmark AHB2 or Class D (GaN FET) I have owned the AHB2 stereo and monos. I love the crystal-clear sound of the AHB2. It is actually my favorite sounding amp. However, I sold them to get am amp with much more power, CODA #16. Overall, I like the CODA #16 better. Here is a great d... | |

| Amp question with size constraints The new Class D GAN1 amps are usually small. I am using a modded PeachTree GAN1 on a great speaker and it sounds amazing. Though I cannot recommend it to you. Check out other GAN amps (just not the GAN1 since it won’t work for you). I have not hea... | |
| Amp and Preamp recommendations for Yamaha NS5000 A neutral amp for me is the Benchmark AHB2 and others such as SimAudio, Purifi. The Luxman is nothing like these amps. It is much warmer so the frame of reference for these people saying the Luxman is neutral must be a much warmer tone. | |
| Amp and Preamp recommendations for Yamaha NS5000 @smodtactical I have never had a Pass in the house but hear it as a warmer amp than the CODA and new KRELL XD (from shows and dealer). I spent close to 2 hours listening to the Luxman c900u+m900u and also the 509x with Harbeth. I liked it at that ... | |
| Amp and Preamp recommendations for Yamaha NS5000 I was listening to a bit from my upstairs office today as my speakers were played loud for some break-in. I was reading some online comments that said the NS5000 sounds like a musical instrument. I had some Moby playing and he had some slow piano ... | |
| Which Hegel Amp with LRS+ When I had my 200-watt Peachtree GAN1 unit on the LRS+, I thought it was excellent and a super bargain system. In the last couple of days using the 150-watt CODA #16 on the LRS+ sounds like a totally different speaker, way more bass. I even put m... | |
| Amp and Preamp recommendations for Yamaha NS5000 Both the Class AB and Class A Pass are warmer than the CODA #8 + #16 and KRELL DUO 175XD + K-300i (I owned all of them except Pass). The KRELL is not so much warm, it is super smooth. I posted on here that was smooth like butter. The CODA is sligh... | |
| Amp and Preamp recommendations for Yamaha NS5000 I think Pass is warmer than both the CODA and KRELL XD I owned. I have not owned PASS but have heard them a few times. | |
| Amp and Preamp recommendations for Yamaha NS5000 I heard the Yamaha M-5000 stack with the NS5000 and I said pass. I found out that I can sell one of my headphone amps tonight after finally setting up my CODA #16 as a headphone amp. I am using a custom made 25 foot cable to the amp. It sounde... |
