| Help Deciding On New Speakers For Small Room, $10k budget Especially since your room size and sensitivity to highs, I would recommend Electricic Solution rebuild of Quad 57s. They are a bit rolled off in the highs but don’t have very strong bass, But for what they do it is clear why they top most lists o... | |
| PayPal Friends & Family listings. Why is this becoming so common? I have zero problems selling with F & F. The key is asking for a phone conversation. Worst case would be angry calls if item did not go out. Nobody wants that. People are generally civil.p | |
| Paul Speltz Zero-Box Autoformer With Tenor OTL I tried Speltz Autoformers with Atma-Sphere M-60 OTLs powering 91 db flat 6 ohm speakers. Thought they significantly degraded the sound and returned them. You should have enough power for Rockports. | |
| ???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard??? An easy recommendation is the Atma-Sphere Class D Monos. At $5400 a steal. As good, or better, then A-S tube amps. To do better I had to spend $43K on a Dartzeel integrated.ll | |
| Separates vs Integrated My destination integrated is a Dartzeel CTH 8550 MK2. = Close to Heaven 85% of the separates at 50% the price. For what you get with a great phono stage at $43K it is a bargain. The SQ, to me, puts it in a class all by itself. After 53 years at... | |
| HiFi satisfaction and/ or Musical enjoyment For me, it all started when I was 5 listening under the covers to Elvis on a transistor radio. I adored him and that little magic box. 1958. Don’t think I ever recaptured that feeling. | |
| What Power Amplifier Should I Buy? If you want to greatly increase your musicality, transparency and detail I would highly recommend buying the Atma-Sphere Class D mono blocks. They are in your price range. They are a fluid as a great tube amp but much more transparent and detaile... | |
| Preamp suggestions for Atma-Sphere Class D Monoblocks #1 for sure an Atma-Sphere MP-3! | |
| PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread To clarify, Pavane as is “Pavane for a dead princess”. | |
| PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread Just wanted to add that I am a wee bit peaved that most of us continue to refer to Psvane as “P” “s” vane. I did check with them. The s is silent. The correct pronunciation is “Pvane”! | |
| Which has a greater influence on sound quality, the amp or the preamp? Yes, the preamp is the heart of the system. But I have always felt that the “2 hands clapping” are the speakers and the amp. The contribution of the preamp is more subtitle and surely subtitles are central. But, IMO, the “broad strokes” belong ... | |
| Repeater/extenders are evil! Today, my Aurender W20SE arrives! Looking forward to a major improvement in SQ. But just using the built in streamer in my dCS Lina DAC it sounds really good after hard wiring. So much so that now for two days I have listened only to digital. A... | |
| MQA....again. David Chesky is a cleaver fellow. If the new streaming service will give one the choice between hi res and MQA it will be innovative and fun. To have the chance to compare will be different and fun. | |
| Integrated Amplifiers - Esoteric F-01, Esoteric F-02 or Dan D'Agostino Progression It is far more money but the Dartzeel CTH 8550 MK 2 could be the best integrated currently made. Also great for phono. $42K 8550=85% of his separates at 50% the price. It has “changed my life”. | |
| Your Ultimate Phono Preamp: Which One Would You Choose? I am a fan of Michael Fremmer. Believe his current phono stage is the CH Precision P10. Think it is about $80K |
