| SimAudio Moon North Collection I thought they have not been released yet. The LA dealer that I bought some speakers from will call my in Oct when they come into the shop. There will be a few older models in the used market soon. | |
| Robbie Robertson has passed away :-( Watched Once We Were Brothers yesterday and then read up on the Band and RR on the internet. Great movie and it was interesting to read about his experiences in Toronto where I also grew up. I listened to Bob Dylan's Blonde on Blonde last night o... | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? @derekw_hawaii On TMR a Magtech came up for sale at $2800. I think it sold in minutes. I then contacted MagTech and discussed a few things with them. I bought a used Magtech from them for $4K. This amp was given a thorough update from MagTech. Th... | |
| Does someone’s opinion affect your opinion? I had an audio manufacturer (now friend) visit my home and listen to his gear that I owned in my office system. We played music by musicians he was friends with and knew how they should sound. After that session he gave me a lot of constructive cr... | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? @derekw_hawaii Sorry to inform you that I have not sent the amp in to Ric (yet). I am not sure if I will sell it so I may not mod it. Since I sold my amazing RAAL VM-1a this week I needed to figure out how to get both my RAAL phones and my LRS+ to... | |
| 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... |
