| Update for best SS amps for Harbeth 40,.2 anniversary spks I have used the AGD audions with the 40.2 with not much success. Have you thought about the orchard audio GAN ultra monoblocks? | |
| New DAC, what should I look for? I second the recommendation for T+A 200 DAC. It's just unbeatable at that price for DSD performance and sounds pretty amazing with an added advantage of an analog preamp built in. | |
| Looking for a new DAC Just looking at your list I would say Weiss 204 and get the modwright instruments LPS for it. It’s sublime. | |
| What were your favorite gear additions in 2024? 1. WE300B tubes for my Radu Tarta 300B amp 2. Soulnote A2 integrated amplifier, wow this was a ride. 3. magnariser aero stands for my LRS+ | |
| Solid state amp that tube fan can be happy with? I agree with @atmasphere here. Get a nice pair of class D GANFET monoblocks like from orchard audio with your tube pre. It works great in my personal experience. | |
| Linear power supply for Weiss DAC 204 I own the Weiss DAC 204 with the sbooster LPS and it's phenomenal. | |
| IS THE WEISS 204 A SUBSTANIAL UPGRADE FRON THE CHORD QUTEST I have the Weiss 204 with a sbooster LPSU upgrade. I believe sound wise it was a substantial upgrade over the qutest (I have it for test with a upgraded power supply too) and the Weiss 204 with the LPSU is just a tad bit behind the Holo May KTE in... | |
| A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair. Zu Audio Soul 6 used will fit. | |

| D amps Thank you hgeifman https://forum.audiogon.com/posts/2736328 | |
| D amps I know a lot of people will hate me for this comment but please try the Java hifi single shot amplifier. It’s the best amplifier I have had besides some SET gear period. | |
| Peachtree Gan 400 @yyzsantabarbara I like the orchard audio monoblocks with both a Schiit Freya+ with some NOS brimar 6sn7 tubes and also the benchmark LA4 preamp. | |
| Peachtree Gan 400 @classdstreamer i also have experience with one more class D amp but it’s pretty expensive. Java hifi single shot integrated. Rumor is that they use AGD modules for power and have a LDR preamp module which sounds amazing. In any case, my audions l... | |
| Peachtree Gan 400 @audioman58 I owned the AGD audion and ran with benchmark LA4 preamp for two years. Never needed anything more then I got to hear the orchard audio starkrimsom monoblocks and I sold my AGD immediately. Just saying AGD I don't think may be he best ... | |
| Recommend me a tube integrated amplifier I believe a leben CS300X is right up your alley and man does it sound great. I can also heartfully recommend an air tight ATM1 used. Both the amps can be had in your budget and sound glorious. The only downside is that they don't have preout for ... |
