| SPL Phobos preamp @ozzy62 I have the Phonos with my Acoustic Signature Triple X and used it with both the Umami Red and presently the ATArt9xA both extremely low output carts. The phonostage is dead quiet and extremely dynamic. I absolutely love it. I’m using it wi... | |
| Synergistic Blue I use the blues on my phono preamp. Love the rich velvety sound. I also use the orange in my tube integrated with great results. You should definitely hear a difference with them. | |
| Phono Preamp suggestions between either Gold Note PH-10 or Whest TWO.2 @tgilbI have had a few cartridges running through the Phonos with amazing results. Currently using the ATArt9xa which is a ultra low compliance cartridge the SPL is flawless and dead quiet. I think a few owners have posted results on Agon. You mig... | |
| Phono Preamp suggestions between either Gold Note PH-10 or Whest TWO.2 I had the Hana SL and now the Umami Red. I looked at Gold Note, Moon etc. I wound up being extremely happy with the SPL Phonos. Has the ability to work with many cartridges and is dead quiet. I am extremely satisfied with the results. Super and wo... | |
| Vinyl guy seeking recommendation for a top level cd player For me it’s a matter of convenience. I’m 60 and while I love love my vinyl, I sometimes just don’t like getting up every 20 min to change sides but I do when I’m into it. I have a Pioneer Modwright LX500 with IBM 6DJ8 Green Tops from Andy at VTS a... | |
| Does Steely Dan sound bright to you? This is an interesting thread for me as I’m a huge SD fan for years. I actually believe that while there were issues producing Gaucho. It’s probably one of the best mixed and engineered albums of the decade. I know many sound guys that use this al... | |
| Raven Osprey with Spatial M3 Sapphires @arafiq yes too bad. My family is down in Houston but they’re not cursed/blessed with this hobby ;-)I don’t believe the V70 will take the 170’s but honestly the 150’s are just so amazing.enjoy and hope you let us know what you wind up with. | |
| Raven Osprey with Spatial M3 Sapphires @arafiq Yes I didn't speak to the bass. I have owned Parasound, Krell, more recently SPL and then decided to switch to tubes. So the big difference in bass for me came when I went with an open baffle speaker. I came from Vandersteen 2 ce's which m... | |
| All Benchmark System Question I would check out the RME-ADI-FS, great dac with Bass and Treble adjustments. | |
| Raven Osprey with Spatial M3 Sapphires @arafiq Thanks, for me I had always owned SS amps and have been dying to hear what a tube amp offers. The dealer that sold me my Acoustic Signature Triple X sells the Audio Hungary and raves about them. While I did not audition the Raven Osprey, I... | |
| Raven Osprey with Spatial M3 Sapphires @lostman00771 It took me a while to dial them in with acoustic treatments, placement etc..and finally settled on the Octave V70 Class A which really is a stunning match for the M3’s. Plenty Plenty of power and the results are the best I’ve had i... | |
| Does anyone have an opinion about the Audioengine D2? Really depends on the rest of your system. If you have the A5’s it’s probably gonna be fine. | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? I was looking at the Osprey for my Spatial M3 Sapphires 92db and decided against it. Wasn’t crazy about their restocking fee. Although the Ravens seem to be trending now I wasn’t convinced I would be able to push those 15” woofers. I opted for an ... | |
| New turntable: please help with cartridge selection: Ortofon vs Lyra vs Charisma vs Hana Had the Hana SL and just upgraded to the Umami Red. Was considering the others but do appreciate the Hana "lush" sound. and I got a great discount on it. | |
| Holographic Soundstage ? So I was experiencing similar with my Spatial M3 Sapphires a speaker that is known for its holographic soundstage. Initially driving it with SS and while it sounded amazing I felt it was not really wowing me. I never owned a tube amp. I was lookin... |
