| AGD Duet Monoblocks I have had the AGD Gran Vivace MkIIIs for a couple of years (replacing tube monos), which I just recently upgraded to MkIV status. $1500 for the tubes and $400 for the new power supply boards, resulting in basically a completely new pair amplifier... | |
| New Generation Class D - AGD Audion Mkiii upgrade I recently upgraded my Gran Vivace MkIIIs to the MkIV tubes and the new 600V power supply boards. I was extremely happy with the MkIIIs, but the MkIV version is in another league altogether. My only point relevant to this thread is that in this in... | |
| Ethernet to SPF converters. What's your experience? Digital data arrives intact, period. It also arrives with a whoe bunch of electrical junk. In my experience, with a highly resolving system, SFP removes on type of junk and replaces it with a different variety of junk. In my system, I get better ... | |
| Grimm MU2 Experience I leave my MU-2 on all the time. I control volume with the svelte Apple Remote which is super easy to program to the MU2. I tried using Roon to control volume, but I wasn't really comfortable with that. The Roon screen on my iPad shows the MU2's... | |
| Grimm MU2 Experience I seem to prefer using my Nucleus+ as the Roon Core on the network and fixed-volume to my MU2 as the endpoint... | |
| 12au7 tube? I've had really good luck with the new-production Apos Ray 12AU7s. They come with a warranty and sound very good compared to the leading NOS 12AU7s I have in my stash... | |
| Stack Audio Products Review I've been super happy with the Stack EQs over the Isoacoustic Oreas under my AGD Gran Vivaces, BHK preamp, Innuos PhoenixNET switch and ZENith Mk3 server/streamer. I also replaced Herbies Giant Titanium Gliders under my Fyne F703s with the AUVA 70... | |
| Stack Audio Auva Isolator Today I received and installed eight Stack Audio AUVA EQs to replace the Orea Bronze footers I was using under my AGD Production Gran Vivace monoblocks. A pretty stunning improvement in terms of a drastically lowered noise floor and enhanced soun... | |
| D amps I absolutely love my AGD Production Gran Vivace GANFET monoblock amps on my Fyne F-703 speakers. I can't imagine that they wouldn't excel on B&W 802s... | |
| Rays Tubes These are fantastic tubes. I use them in my BHK preamp (and in my recently sold Primaluna Dialogue Premiums run as monoblocks). I have a large stash of NOS 12AU7s--Brimars, Teles, Radiotechnique, Cifte, Mullards and new production Gold Lions. T... | |
| Novum PMR - I am impressed Hi all. My review just posted in the PS Audio Forums... It’s a beast: Fourteen inches in diameter and over seventeen pounds of sand-cast bronze alloy. I’ve had it for five days now, no break-in required! The instructions say that it can be place... | |
| Primaluna tube rolling 12AU7 Notes I have matched pairs of most all of the 12AU7s discussed here, and right now I prefer the new production Apos RAY 12AU7s which come with a warranty and a return period... | |
| Novum PMR - I am impressed I have a used MkII arriving tomorrow... | |
| Which HDMI cable for I2S? I use Wireworld Platinum Starlight 8 with great results. Better than any of the earlier generation AQ cabels I tried--Mocha/Coffee and Vodka... | |
| Graphene Sluggo - Unlocking Sonic Scenery I put a graphene sluggo in my Nordost QB-8 Mk2 power distributor replacing a Synergistic Master Fuse, and found it superior to the Master... |
