audiophiles who are just getting the itch to upgrade
I'm looking to going back to an integrated amp---tired of separates. Staying at home has given me time to do some research. So far I've narrowed it down to the Yamaha A-S2100 and the Luxman 505uxii. Maybe the McIntosh MA5300? But the Yamaha looks ... 
How will the COVID-19 pandemic affect sites like Audiogon?
The store I visit and purchase from is about 90 miles from my house and they are only doing appt only visits. I'm looking to upgrade my amp but I'm going to wait until this is over. It's not worth the risk right now. I've called them to check in a... 
Klipsch Heresy 4?
@t_ramey Thanks for posting that---I watched his review yesterday. I follow him and he's quite good. I'm dying to hear these speakers!! 
Klipsch Heresy 4?
I'm starting to see more and more reviews online and via YouTube now. I hope to hear them soon!! 
Cassettes still rock!
Awesome! I still have a 3-head Denon deck from the early '90s and my old mix tapes sound great!!  
Klipsch Heresy 4?
Great question! I don't have them (yet) but I've read so many reviews and many recommend tubes with Klipsch. Since they don't require a lot of power, the First Watt should be just fine.  
Simaudio ACE or 240i
Thanks for the info---I haven't pulled the trigger yet. Still looking. I did hear back and the 240i and ACE do have the same phono stage so the salesman was wrong. I'm still concerned about the low power with the S40s. Perhaps Luxman or Parasound? 
Klipsch Heresy 4?
@stevehuff Thanks!! Great review! I'm reading and seeing some great reviews on YouTube. The bass port seems to have made a huge difference! I may have to try these babies very soon!! 
Pass Labs XA-25 on all the time?
I have a Bel Canto REF500S amp---should I keep in on 24/7 as well? 
Modwright PS 9.0 or PS Audio Steller Phono Preamp?
I know I'm late to the conversation but do you know if Modwright and Moon go well together? I have a Modwright SWL 9.0 SE preamp and I'm considering the Moon 330a amp. Thanks! 
Klipsch Heresy IV - not what I was expecting
I want to hear them as well---I have a tube preamp and SS amp. What speaker cables are you using? 
Any love for newer Krell amps?
Would a Krell amp work with a Modwright tube preamp and Dynaudio Special 40s? 
What are you streaming tonight?
New Tame Impala and Pet Shop boys 
Albums that you listen to straight through / start to finish whenever you put them on!
Quite a few to mention, but for latest releases, Pet Shop Boys new album 'Hotspot' is amazing!  
Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions?
@hilde45 I was in the same boat as you last year. After shopping around and returning equipment I didn't like, I settled on the Modwright SWL 9.0 SE tube preamp and a Bel Canto REF 500S class D amp. I use WyWires for ICs. The synergy is great and ...
