| Dennis Had Inspire Fire-Bottle SET amp review Re the previous post suggesting the Inspire KT88 isn't a true SET amp, and more simply a Pentode amp, here are a few words from the designer Dennis Had, speaking to an Inspire amp owner from the Audio Aficionado forum:"The Inspire single-ended pen... | |
| Dennis Had Inspire Fire-Bottle SET amp review Did anyone see the Inspire Fire Bottle KT88 driving a pair of Martin Logan Theos on youtube? It's a small 12x12 room but still impressive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlR9B22kOiM | |

| Using tube amp with electrostatic speakers. Long time ML user since 1979. I've owned SL3's, Aries i's, ReQuests, CLS, Monolith III's, and now Theos. I've been on Audiogon since 1997. There's always been a myth that ML's are "harder to drive." I drove SL3's with a lowly 35 watt Prima Luna. ... | |

| I am really disappointed with the hip-hop enthusiasts on Audiogon I always thought of myself as being a generation removed from Rap. I don’t listen to or have any desire to listen to most rock, any metal, or country. But I respect those that do, and don’t find it necessary to denigrate music I don’t enjoy. Doing... | |

| PS Audio DAC II or Bryston: two great machines Being the vinyl guy I'm never up on the latest digital craze. But, having recently acquired a PWD MkII I have to say, I found it very impressive, and was very content with the purchase, especially since I had to buy one new and blind. Sorry, I don... | |

| DAC upgrade assistance needed Thanks all for the feedback. I've had the M2tech Hiface mated to the PSA DLIII for some 4 years now. It's very decent sound, considering they're old technology. But I'm in an upgrade mood, especially if I can acquire a more modern used dac for a m... | |
