| Audio research reference 150 vs Pass Labs X350.5 @jonchew38 How has your system evolved? Did you try a REF 150? I have had several ARC pieces over the past 8 years. I didn't have them at the same time but felt like the REF 75SE was better than the REF 150. I also had a REF 5SE and while de... | |
| Thinking about simplifying to an integrated amp @traudio My experience was not that it was weak in the bass at reasonable volumes. I have Wilson Sophias and a very large space. I play it very loud at times as it fills my entire home with sound. If I am running around doing chores or around... | |
| Thinking about simplifying to an integrated amp @traudio I know it is not what you are asking about but is worth a consideration. Audio Research GSi75. I had one for a couple years and it was fantastic, I just needed more power for my Wilson speakers. It is fully loaded with a fantastic ph... | |
| Speaker cables - cables make a difference @mikhailark I have never owned a USB cable. I am also unclear if I could simply connect a USB cable or if drivers would have to be installed. I am not using an external hard drive. I currently have an Auralic Aries streamer. I have used my S... | |
| Looking For A New Tube Integrated Amp With Very Specific Features @freediver Check out the Audio Research GSi75 I had one for a couple years and it was fantastic. My Wilson Sophias needed a stronger amp. I have a very large space and often play at very loud volumes when I am cleaning the house or cooking so... | |
| Speaker cables - cables make a difference @buellrider97 +1 ...and YES YES on the digital cable. I am still a novice in the cable game, other than the S/PDIF cable going from my various streamers to DACs over the past 5 years. It has been truly remarkable the importance of that cable.... | |
| Dedicated circuits I have had a single dedicated circuit and receptacle where my Shunyata Triton V1 is connected. Two mono block amps phono preamp preamp stresmer DAC turntable are all plugged into the Triton. This circuit is new with 12 gauge Romex. The position o... | |
| Your turntable history @oberoniaomnia Thanks for the summary of your experiences. I have not been tempted to leave Rega, it has never let me down and works beautifully. The VTA on the fly does sound cool and maybe for some cartridges it does matter more?? I did get... | |
| Your turntable history @oberoniaomnia I have only owned Rega. Started with an 80s Planar 2 and progressed up to a Planar 10 for that I have owned for about 3 years and love it. Since you had some of the heavy hitters previously, how would you describe the music you ... | |
| Electric Recording Company @johnto Did you pick up a copy of LA Woman? I saw it sold out quickly as most ERC releases do. | |
| Disappointments The reality for me is I’ve never had a dealer that was close to offer me the opportunity. So I will claim some ignorance here….and the more I think, I do see how you could get the overall sound signature of a piece of gear at the dealer, knowing i... | |
| Disappointments @zavato I have only auditioned speakers and yes for 3 Wilson Audio models. I have never understood how people place so much value on the audition at a dealer when we all know it all comes down to our system and room. On the flip side, I wonder... | |
| Turntable Causes Speaker Cones To Excessively Move Rapidly @slaw Glad audphile1 was able to offer his thoughts...hope that helped resolve the issue. I haven't ever experienced hum from one channel. All I would know to do is check all connections and replace cables where possible. | |
| Electric Recording Company @johnto Fun House sounded great but I also had no other pressing to compare it to. Streaming it on Qobuz also sounds great. I ended up selling mine for a minimal loss of about $50 and was fine with that for the experience to try an ERC record.... | |
