| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing Embrace the 2nd and 3rd harmonic distortion at low levels is the message. If you don’t like the message then move on. | |
| Backert Rhumba 1.3 OR Modwright LS 100 ? I was lucky enough to borrow a friend's rhumba extreme 1.3 for a week. Like the rhythm, it is a dual mono design. I tried it with schiit aegirs as monoblocks and the combo bested my pass integrated in dynamics and detail. | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+ prof, Appreciate the insight. Thanks! | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+ @prof The OP is using a 50W tube amp to drive the Harbeths. If I recall correctly, you were using CJ tubed monoblocks as your main power amp? Can you comment on the power requirement for the JA's? Do you feel like they need more power to sound t... | |
| Current Pass integrateds? I have the Int-25 and find it to be a very smooth, never etched, but gives the right amount of bite when called upon (like Miles' muted trumpet). I've also had conversations with the folks at Pass labs regarding the sonic differences between the ... | |
| Devore / Bay Area John Devore will also weigh in on amp pairings. Just email him. | |
| Devore / Bay Area Agree. If you are a serious buyer which it sounds like you are, make an appointment. You'll get access to his knowledge of Devore speakers, which is unmatched in the area. Get the mussels at the oyster bar. Outstanding! | |
| Speakers known for great midrange. The Stereophile review of your amp revealed that distortion increases dramatically at high frequencies when driving lower impedances. Good idea to check the impedance trace of any speakers you are considering. | |
| Looking for a new (preowned OK) line stage under $5K: suggestions? Backert labs rhumba is a dynamic pre. | |
| Pass INT-25 better than Wilsenton R8? @travisg Many of us, myself included, read the reviews and get caught up in the hype. We expect “wow” moments. Unfortunately, that can make the journey longer towards satisfaction longer. I would forget trying to pick a part different elements o... | |
| Does Anyone Buy Schiit for the Sake of Schiit? +1 for the Aegirs as monos. I’m having fun driving them with a Rhumba extreme. The little Schiits have really held their own and shown me what the Rhumba is capable of. Excellent build quality. | |
| Pass Labs INT-25 or equivalent in another brand I would check in with Mark at Reno Hi-Fi and see if you can get a demo unit. | |
| Pass Labs INT-25 or equivalent in another brand Search for Steve Huff’s review of the Int-25 driving the Heresy’s. | |
| AGD Tempo in the house @verdantaudio Thanks for taking the time to post your impressions of the Tempo. I think many of us are interested in how well it pairs with different preamps and it’s ability to drive a range of speakers. | |
| Can it get better? @infection I almost pulled the trigger on a Belles Virtuoso integrated which features a dual mono design 200w per side and an upgraded preamp that Mr. Belles feels like is some of his best work. $7.5. |
