| Anyone else treated poorly by AVA? I bought a SET 500, and it was very good but just not quite my cup of tea. Returned it within their 30 day eval period and received refund within a day or two of their receipt of it back. All my communications were with Mary, and I found her to be... | |
| Speakers 10 years old or older that can compete with todays best, Original Von Schweikert VR-4s. A timeless design. RIP Albert. | |
| EVS Music Purifiers - Amazed by how much improvement they make! Anyone else try them? I have the Enacom version from back in the day. They did some of the nice things mentioned above in this thread. I’m not running them currently though, because they squashed dynamics, especially macro dynamics, and also tended to smear, a bit, lea... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! Yeah, I thought that room sounded good, but no better than a number of others. As usual, I was disappointed by the limited musical material used to display equipment at the show. While I have nothing against a female jazz singer, a bass and a pian... | |
| Pass X150.5 or Odyssey Stratos monos? The only Pass design I’ve ever had is an old Forte 1a. Recently I had it recapped by Jon Soderberg, who used to work at Threshold. I added a Triode Wire 7 plus power cord….and the combined result was just jaw dropping. I’d go with Pass:) | |
| Vacuum Tube preamp with my KRELL KAV 250a, a no no......WHY? I know zero about the technical issues being discussed in this thread. I can speak only of my own experience. I ran a Krell KAV 250a with an Audible Illusions Modulus 3A preamp for over 20 years….without a single technical problem. And it sounded ... | |
| SS Amp Choices I liked the SST Son of Ampzilla 2 better than the AVA Set 500 in my Von Schweikert VR-4/ Audible Illusions rig. I see the Music Room has a used one on sale for 2 grand. YMMV | |
| SST Son of Ampzilla ii power amp Anyone with experience with this amp, have a power cord recommendation? | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! What about sound staging, Sim? | |
| Using 2 Amps with Audible Illusions Modulus 3A Preamp How did you reach that calculation imhififan? | |
| ? on Pioneer CD players from the past, anyone still using one of these Still have my Elitte PD-65. Still sounds gorgeous:) | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! Thx, Teajay:) | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! How does the 5.5 treat the presence and “weight” of instruments in front of you?With certain amps, usually ones that are a bit forward in presentation, you can almost feel the palpable weight of the instruments in the room with you. It’s a combina... | |
| Handling Heavy Amps 40-45 pounds is pretty much the weight limit for me as well these days. Right now I’m running an SST Son of Ampzilla 2 (with a sound I’d describe as equal parts tubish , Class A ish and, Class AB ish) into first gen Von Schweikert VR-4s. Amp is 40... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! Am I correct that there is no way of purchasing a 5.5 with a trial period or any money back return period, in case the buyer concludes it’s not the best match for his or her system? |
