| JL Audio Fathom I have owned two F112V2's for close to six years now and have never had an issue with either one. (I hope I do not come to regret that statement) Could be the, law of averages at play here...the more units you have in the market, the more that cou... | |
| Replacement for Shindo I echo the comments and recommendations for Aric Audio! The Motherlode(original) is the best preamp I have had in my system, and I have had too many to list. | |
| Finally upgrading my amp Ditch the B&W's first...a quality pair of speakers are what you need to build the system around. | |
| Tube Integrated Amp Recommendation Go with The Motherlode! Another huge fan of Aric and his gear! | |
| Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K I have previously owned a couple of PSB models, the last being the Stratus Gold, but have heard a couple of Paul's more latest offerings. I can absolutely attest to their ability to turn your listening room into the best sounding, most articulate ... | |
| McIntosh 2.1kw amplifier? Thank you. The room is an acoustic challenge. Candidly, their impact is negligible, but likely better than nothing at all. | |
| McIntosh 2.1kw amplifier? This thread went off the rails a bit sooner than I had expected...always entertaining...informative at times... | |
| Best Options For A Tubed Preamp - $2500 Or Less, Preferably Used To Maximize Value I have stated this on many forums ad nauseam, Aric Audio makes some of the finest tube based gear. | |
| Tube preamp match with Solid Stare amp Aric Audio without hesitation! I have the Coda Model 16 paired with the Motherlode and the combination has kept me from chasing the audio dragon for the longest duration in my nearly 30 years of,"upgrades". Call him! | |
| Anyone with Aric Audio experience? If you look, 75% of my Forum responses mention Aric Audio wholeheartedly. I first bought a MM Phono Preamp from Aric years ago and was so impressed with how musical, yet dead quiet it was, I then worked with him to develop and build a bespoke prea... | |
| Tube preamp for pass labs ? I also enthusiastically recommend Aric Audio and his tube preamps! Hell, all his gear for that matter. Before moving to Coda, I paired The Motherlode with a pair of Pass XA60.8's and the results were amazing. I still have not replaced The Motherlo... | |
| I am looking to upgrade - looking for advice I have yet to hear a B&W, (and I too coveted and auditioned numerous models of B&W when I was in the early stages of piecing together my first true audiophile grade set up) that were not overly bright and gave me listening fatigue after on... | |
| I am looking to upgrade - looking for advice Cables aside, my humble prediction is that you will quickly come to the conclusion that the Hegel far outclasses the B&W Speakers and you find THAT is your new priority. | |
| Preamp Shopping - Parasound, ML, McIntosh Aric Audio Motherlode. I cannot recommend him, and his wonderful tube gear, more highly! Call him and I can almost guarantee you will have him build one for you. And you will be within budget... | |
| "Diminishing Returns" Unless a piece of gear that is in place currently completely craps out, I too am satisfied and done chasing the audio dragon! Far too much money and time invested, and now it is time to savor... |
