| Maggies to Tekton? I had 1.7i's and I like the effect of a dipole speaker. I can't handle the sound of boxed speakers any longer. Since you already are used to the sound of a dipole, you may consider the Spatial Audio line up. I went to a pair of X5's earlier thi... | |
| Never Owned a Tube Amp and Want Advice As long as this is going to be your first I have a couple of recommendations. The Carver Crimson 275 is rated at 75 watts per. It will run on 6550's, kt66, kt88, (supplied), and kt120's. And the amp runs on a circuit that just allows the tubes ... | |

| Looking to improve my system Consider lowering the noise floor and power conditioning. I've become a huge fan of High Fidelity Cables stuff. Huge air, depth, clarity, soundstage, and reduction of noise. Stunning results. | |
| $5k Pair Full Range Speaker Shootout - Help me pick The Spatial Audio M series Sapphires are making a name for themselves in your price range. High sensitivity and they love tubes. | |
| Need preamp recommendation Don Sachs all in preamp is a giant killer. And it has you under budget, and you get brand new built for you. The LTA stuff is all good too. | |
| Are MULLARD NOS EL34s and LTA ZOTL40 REF worth the price of admission? I bought the LTA Reference 40 earlier this year. It came with the NOS Mullards. It is the finest amp I've heard. A true giant killer. It is just stunning. As for the tubes there isn't a current production tube that can compare with the NOS Mu... | |
| Best tube preamplifier for under $15k Don Sachs all in pre. Or you can get an LTA integrated or separates and have plenty of cash to spare. I have the Don Sachs paired with the LTA ZOTL 10 and its stunning. | |
| Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ?? I owned maggie 1.7i's and went to Spatial X5's. That AMT driver in the X series is phenomenal. And Maggies are a pain to drive. I will tell you this....I haven't owned a box speaker in 30 years. | |
| A warm DAC? Musical Paradise MP D2 mk3. User can roll both tubes and caps. And you can use both 12 or 6 volt signal tubes and 5 or 6.3 volt rectifier tubes. Capacitors are not soldered, just get installed with thumbscrews. Options include TOTL Crystek clo... | |
| Non Analytical Sounding DAC Upgrade- Budget $1,500 or less The newest Musical Paradise unit is a giant killer. I have it with some NOS tubes and the Crystek clocks. Fabulous lush sound and it has user changeable caps and will accept 12 and 6 volt signal tubes. | |
| Most Musical 6NS7 tube for a Preamp? In the past I wouldn't give you a nickel for any Chinese tube but the recent new Dawning Series tubes out of Shuguang are excellent. I recently bought a Don Sachs all in preamp and he suggested them and they are lush sounding. WE6SN7 PLUS. | |
| Is there such a thing as too much power? Theres a lot more to an amp than watts. I just recently purchased a Linear Tube Audio ZOTL 10 Mk2 and paired it with a Don Sachs pre. I was a bit leary about 12 watts, but it is an amazing sounding piece and seems to have all kinds of headroom. ... | |
| Power Amplifier Longevity BrianI have both an Anthem MRX 710 and an Emotiva XPA 5 for sale. I simply don't do surround media anymore. If interested let me know. Both with very low miles and in excellent condition. | |
| KT150 to KT120..or KT120 to KT150 I have a Carver Crimson 275 that comes with Tungsol kt120's. Tried kt150's and preferred the 120's. Seemed like the 150's were just too much oommph, if that makes any sense. After that I just recently got a quad of the new Shuguang Dawning ser... |
