| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i The R800i 805 arrived today. What a big amp! Here are just a few initial thoughts. Moving this amp in the box is a two person affair. It is a beast Moving It. My friend had to bolt so I had to move it out of the box and onto a 36" tall spac... | |
| Have you heard a VAS cartridge? Thank you What! You always provide excellent information and opinions. Loved the article. I'm likely going to bite the bullet and order one from Steve. | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i I ordered it direct from China Hi-Fi. You can select your voltage there. I’ve some decent experiences in the past with them. I’ve also ordered from Doge Audio--super fast shipping to our mainland in a crate via DHL. | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i @chmaiwald , DHL just texted it will arrive 12/19! Early Christmas gift. I should get some great time to listen to it over the holidays. I'll hold off on rolling or mods for a good bit. Very excited! | |
| Where does "MidFi" differ from "HiFi" or "LOFI"? When Andrew Robison says, "The delta to get that last 5% improvement costs thousands upon thousands of dollars.." I would agree in that you could spend tens of thousands of dollars on more expensive components or spend tens of thousands of dollar... | |
| What filter setting do you use on the Marantz Ruby CD/DAC? Well the jury is still out here. After about 3-4 hours of listening to some of my personal go to reference material, I still hear some air on top but also extra energy —albeit not substantially so. I’m not sure I’ll land on Filter 2 given my spea... | |
| What filter setting do you use on the Marantz Ruby CD/DAC? Not quite riley804. I was looking for thoughts on what others hear. Maybe it is trivial to you but I enjoy hearing what others think. Thank you nonoise! I'm going to play some of my personal reference recordings to see if I consistently fe... | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i Thank you @charles1dad . I'll try to hold off on tube rolling or cap swaps until I get it fully broken in and so that my ears acclimate to the sound first. | |
| Klipsch Speakers OP, Here are my old Forte IIIs paired with tubes in a nearly empty music room (before decoration a few years back). yes it’s YouTube but you should be able to get how splendid they can sound. By the way turn up the volume to hear the grea... | |
| Klipsch Speakers OP, thanks for giving us more information. I am on the side that thinks you should be able to rectify the situation. I’ve powered Forte IIIs and CWIVs with many different amps. They are sensitive to amp pairing and source. The Naim pairing st... | |
| PSB T600 Synchrony - impressions I’ve owned PSB Imagine T3 and T2 speakers. Nothing about them was cheap. I examined the crossover network and was impressed. The former flagship T3 was a wonderful speaker—so much so that I occasionally think of scooping up a used pair. I’d expe... | |
| Has the ASR review/hatchet job on the Musetec MH-DA005 Changed Anyone's Mind? I agree 100% regarding ASR getting too much airtime, it’s lack of usefulness, and the awkward cultish pile on by its forum guests. ASR’s refusal to listen to gear while making an “objective” approval or disapproval of a unit is absurdity. I don’... | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i Great thread with open minded and insightful comments. I had to do it! I just bought one of these amps. I’ll be posting about it once it arrives and I can break it in. I’ll most likely upgrade some critical film caps. I’d like to examine the filt... | |
| Marantz Ruby PM KI amp vs Accuphase e-480 or e-380 Thanks @jjss49 ! I took a summer hiatus from my hifi obsession, listing only once per week--which is rare. I used the time to hit the woodshed and get my fingerstyle guitar skills back to where they should be. It saved me some component jumping... | |
| Marantz Ruby PM KI amp vs Accuphase e-480 or e-380 I've had 2 REL subs linked to my Ruby's speaker binding posts for a year or so with no issues. Sounds wonderful. Also, I have played around with tons of amps on extended basis. This amp is an exceptional performer. It is a reference level piece ... |
