| Desktop - Nearfield Speakers: Totem Mite or Quad S1 Get the ProAc Anniversary Tablette. I'm using a 12W Unison Little Italy to drive them and the imaging, musicality and resolution is awesome. The other day I was listening to Ron Carter and I per chance was between the speakers and I noticed I was ... | |
| which of these four amps for Wharfedale Elysian 4's? @audiocanada Congrats! After you getting everything set-up to your liking, please share your impressions. David | |
| which of these four amps for Wharfedale Elysian 4's? @audiocanada I heard your speakers and was very impressed. They have solid bass and really good micro-detail capabilities. Ayre V-5xe excels at imaging and transient responses, which would work well with your speakers. Some people describe the A... | |
| Integrated S.E.T Amp and Bookshelf Speakers Recommendations Update--I have auditioned the Simply Italy, an Elekit 8600S, the Quicksilver EL84 integrated, and an Audio Note OTO. Yes, it's been a very busy couple of days. Paired them with my friend's Super Tablette, his Focal 906 Arias, and his Closer Acoust... | |
| Integrated S.E.T Amp and Bookshelf Speakers Recommendations Here’s the latest-I’m going to audition a Unison Simply Italy Integrated (It puts out 12 W using EL34’s and 12AU7’s) and Focal Aria 906’s (90db sensitivity/8 ohms). I’m starting at the upper middle/lower high end of my pricepoint for the room layo... | |

| Bob James How about this one? | |

| Looking for comparisons between CD transports @jtcf -Did you purchase a replacement CD Pro laser assembly? They are no longer being made, and that's the part of an excellent CD transport that will poop-out over time. David | |
| Recommended Listening @scottya118 -Yes! "Everyone is cryin' mercy..." | |
| Looking for comparisons between CD transports @cooper52 - The CXC does not have an AES/EBU output, so that sounds like a non-starter. I may have overlooked that in your previous posts. FWIW, I had the Urd during trial period because it had AES/EBU output, along with a USB-C input, and I lik... | |
| Looking for comparisons between CD transports @cooper52 - I had the Urd for a short time. It was just ok. Nice sounding BUT, skimps on detail/resolution. I think that will be noticed with your DAC. At your price point, what are your thoughts about the Cambridge CD transport? David | |
| Bob Weir: "George Jones is my favorite musician." Fun thread about terrific music! What do you all think of The Louvin Brothers? | |
| Review: Audio Research Ref-3 Tube preamp @cafedienanh2013 - Wouldn't do it because the KT-120 can damage the power regulator. |
