A speaker audio journey over: Classic Audio Loudspeakers T1.5 Reference = End game
Hi everyone,  I just got a used pair of non-field-version coil T-3.2, I don't have manual, may I know should I connect the speaker cables to 8ohm or 4ohm on amplifier? Currently, I connect to 8ohm but not sure if this is correct. Thank you.  ... 
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
@atmasphere , Thank you for the response. That is great to hear that your new amps adequately power the T3s and the T1s. I think these amps would be a good alternative to the either the Novacrons or MA60s I was looking at. The thought of a compac... 
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
Would these amps drive higher impedance loads easily? Let’s say Classic Audio Loudspeakers. I know only a handful of folks to include myself and Atmasphere who own T.1 series of the Classic Audio Loudspeakers. I own the T1.5s. These are often mate... 
Is a home theater even worth it or doable?
I am a 2 channel person as well, but could not build this large dedicated listening room without taking into account family and friend gatherings, especially since not many of them have been exposed or experienced a truly immersive home theater. P... 
Klipsch Cornwall IV
Anyone using the Cornwall IV's as true LCR home theater speakers? Behind screen or in front. Interested in determining if these would be a good alternative to some other floor standing loudspeakers for home theater.   
Debating between Mcintosh SS or tube monos.
The MC2301 certainly does not lack bass…it’s the amplifier speaker combination which causes the perception that bass might be lacking. I used to drive B&W N800s with an MC2301 with great bass control and authority. The 800s were inefficient (8... 
Voices coming through soundbar after I turn off tv
Do you have a separate audio connection coming from the Xfinity box or other device such as Apple or Amazon TV going to the soundbar directly? This could potentially cause somewhat of a similar symptom as those devices are not turned off unless po...

Linlai E 6sn7 tubes
@ram18  “May I check if the Linlais you were referring to as detailed are Linlai Globals with vertical letterings or Linlai E6sn7  with horizontal letterings as @lowrider57  has outlined. As you may have read in this chat, there are different imp... 
Linlai E 6sn7 tubes
“I’m back to my reference uncolored Russian military tubes.”   Same here. After using the Linlai for a few weeks with about 100 plus hours, I am back to using the Russian tubes that were OEM in my phono stage when bought new. The Linlai sounded ...

Niagara 5000 Vs Torus RM20 or PS Audio Power Plant 12
@nyev, Thanks for that feedback. Yes, that plastic adapter to make the plugs have a firm fit with the equipment sure looks and feels very, well, low grade and out of character for such an exotic power cable. You have now piqued my interest on you... 
Niagara 5000 Vs Torus RM20 or PS Audio Power Plant 12
@nyev  Agree with you on all points. Adding to the discussion regarding our ears and listening impressions with various devices. I bought a 1/2 dozen of Shunyata Sigma NR 2 power cables for my system. Well, too much is too much. I used Neotech hi... 
Niagara 5000 Vs Torus RM20 or PS Audio Power Plant 12
@nyev,   Yes, but those are technical measurements with some being out of the range of human hearing. Although measurable distortion readings, these readings may not be audible. I believe that if anyone has noticeable power fluctuations which im... 
Linlai E 6sn7 tubes
I am burning in the new Linlai E 6SN7s. These are in my Aesthetix Io phono stage. so far, so good. I am liking what I am hearing and what I am not hearing, bland, rolled off or muffled sounding, etc.  I can’t say these are a night and day differe...
