| Ayon Triton III — KT88 BTSX Tubes? Tube sources? Thanks... I have been looking for more recent information regarding new KT88s and current sources for purchasing. "Hanshare Electronics" has come up a few times as a reliable source, but I do not see any recent discussions around (for instance) Ca... | |
| Best speakers for Pink Floyd? Over the past several years the band has released several re-mastered albums and boxed sets. They are all excellent, I especially like DSOM box set with the 5.1 DVD... Included is a small sack of DSOM marbles... which might be a distributed back-u... | |
| Best speakers for Pink Floyd? Permanent Pink Floyd fan and listener. Any speakers they play through are great ...even the ones you can barely hear in the car next to yours at the red light. Its a head thing. | |
| ENTIRE SYSTEM NEEDED TO SELL Hello Michelle,At Audiogon you will (already have) receive lots of excellent and yet somewhat contradictory advice. What I will say about this community is that the members are predominately highly ethical and in it for the joy of the audio pursui... | |
| Avalon Thanks all for comments and your many interesting points ...which I have been working through as I can. Here is an update on where I am and what I am thinking as a tourist in these here parts...I was not prepared to be so surprised by this amp. It... | |
| Review: Tempo Electric / Arthur Loesch 1.1 Control Preamp Tube preamp This is an old thread but I have found it and the review extremely valuable for my learning (I’m relatively new to tubes, but working on my second in 8 months). Interest in the Tempo Electric gear got me here (I was researching for a new phono sta... | |
| Dick's / Dave's picks I am actively seeking a copy of Dick's Picks #1: 5/25/77 "The Mosque" Richmond VA.Its not just the Dead, its listening to anything I like: The visceral impact and the tireless involvement I find myself part of when I listen to music on a really we... | |
| Dick's / Dave's picks @jriggy That Venetta "Sunshine Daydream" DVD/CD set is really a remarkable time capsule. I have listened to the CD several times, and watched the DVD twice since I got it in 2015. I also completely dig "The Other One" box set. woof! woof! woof! | |
| Dick's / Dave's picks Which Dave or Dick's picks? I would not know where to start! The problem is that after 50 years in business, The Grateful Dead have an unbelievable catalog of recorded live shows. Certainly not all are great, but there sure are a ton of incredible... | |
| Avalon @reynolds853 Hi there. The spikes is a good point, as I deliberately have avoided them: I will try that now, thanks.The Triton III integrated actually sounds far better than my post indicated. I think that my prior experience was not compatible wi... | |
| Avalon OK, so now things sound great ...mids and highs are well articulated and in triode mode sound very well defined and airy. Bass is big, very big on big bass tracks. I am running AntiCables Level 3 ref from the amp to the speakers. These cables are ... | |
| Avalon Well, yesterday the FedEx truck came. The Ayon Triton III box weighed 133 pounds. I had help from the FedEx guy in getting the box into the front hall but from there...It has been cold here and once I managed to lift the amp out of the box (when l... | |
| new gear vs used gear I generally buy new gear when buying solid-state receivers, home theater gear. New gets you into the shiny-object realm with the latest features and compatibility in the AV realm along with Internet radio and iPods. If you don't go new then you ca... | |
| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? Given the last several months listening to them, I vote for the Avalon speakers. ...but save some cash for a good cable to bridge your amp to the speakers. These speakers reveal every flaw upstream, so eventually the cables will demand being upgra... | |
| Servers: Are we there yet? @djohnson54 @sbank @psag I say this as a cyber security guy: Devices that allow connectivity to and from the Internet (actually ANY network) represent a danger to other devices in your network that will subsequently develop a trust relationship wi... |
