| Please help me figure out what I need to do this. My head spins with tech talk.. I've had a few AMR CD-777 and they are fantastic - some of the best CD players I've heard. I recommended that one because I think not only will the performance meet your expectations but so will the infusion of the tube and what it brings to the t... | |
| I'm still mystified... It’s no different than shipping costs - some include them, while others don’t. When I post an ad it includes any transaction fees. When a buyer offers and I am willing to do a counter offer, it usually includes the buyer paying any fees associated... | |
| Please help me figure out what I need to do this. My head spins with tech talk.. Perhaps this could be your end game:https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649456868-amr-cd77-reference-cd-player-one-of-the-best/It isn't cheap, but it wasn't cheap to begin with. | |
| Please help me figure out what I need to do this. My head spins with tech talk.. Hey abstract, what is the rest of the system? I am a dealer and do have a demo North Star Blue Diamond available but I’m not sure it will fit the system and your taste. I have a feeling the old player was adding a lot to help the Plinius give you ... | |
| Popular DAC that is known for its warm-ish sound? North Star Supremo and Excelsio. The es9016 based DACs from NSD are more neutral but these two are very smooth and engaging. I cant believe nobody mentioned Chord. The Hugo series is excellent. Another nod can go to the AMR gear. I’d assume the ne... | |
| Digital integrated alternatives to SET tube system If you want to do a trial to see if you could enjoy SS before going all in, perhaps you should consider the Dayens Ampino Integrated. It's 25 WPC and shares many characteristics of single ended amplifiers. It retails for $560 US so you could dab... | |
| Help me pick from my sub-$1200 shortlist Usher Be-718 with diamond tweeters. I would pass on the Be tweeters unless you are willing to buy the Diamonds and drop them in. | |
| Why so few speakers have their price listed online @jeffersondavis,As a dealer, your comment is quite offensive. A dealer should quote you retail price and if they do anything more, they will not and should not be in business long. I don't take the comment personally but it does add fuel to the ... | |
| Totem Hawks The Hawk is one of my favorite Totem speakers and I actually much prefer it over the Forrest. The issue with the Hawk is that the driver used does have its limitations and if you aren't careful and love to crank your music, you have a good chance... | |
| Is this an excellent value? Yaqin is a fine manufacturer for budget minded enthusiasts. I would not let their poor and very cheap hybrid designs infer anything about their all tube designs, but I'm not sure I would spend that kind of money on a SET design from them. Yaqin is... | |
| New high end from Serbia? Auris audio My contacts don't know much if anything about Auris, which surprises me given they are a smaller nation. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. | |
| New high end from Serbia? Auris audio I've reached out to my Serbian contacts to see what they know. At face value, I would be hesitant to invest as a consumer. Four to five years with a massive product assortment like they have makes me believe they might be trying to be everything f... | |
| Low power tube amp for Sonus Faber? The Evolution 845 is the amplifier I was hoping to suggest and it looks like it is already on your radar. The Compact 845 is an excellent amplifier, but might not be right for every situation. In this case, I do think the Evolution 845 would be ... | |
| Looking for a warm sweet speaker Congrats Mike! Spendor is a brand I haven't had a chance to get my ears on. If at any point you are 'accepting' visitors, please let me know. I've heard great things about the brand.Since last time we spoke, I have gotten the house in order fro... | |
