LFE vs High-level subwoofer connection, for FIDELITY
I used to run high level input from my BHK300 (hybrid monoblocks) fed from all tube 2 box preamp, to a pair of Velodyne DD10+ on 22" Sistrum stands, coming in from 40Hz on down.  Then i decided to run from the preamps extra XLR outs and found it ... 
Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2
I’m curious about this since I have a MKII with your APS transformers.   
AGD Duet Monoblocks
For a brief time I was doing reviews for TAS’s YouTube channel, before starting my own.  I did review the AGD Audions vs. my BHK300 hybrid amps.     I kind of wish I could combine the sound of the two amps.  On the TAD’s I was using at the time, ... 
video about taking delivery of large electrostatic panels that replaced my TADs.
@hilde45 Thanks for the subscribe.  I generally keep speakers a long time so not switching that often, except for starting with the entry level Prodigio then the larger model.     @curiousjim  I appreciate the subscribe.  I didn’t find the beryl... 
video about taking delivery of large electrostatic panels that replaced my TADs.
I really regret having to sell them.  If I had more room I would have kept them as home theater left + Right .  Several people have sold their CR1 or R1 and ended up buying them again. One guy bought them back twice before keeping them!    
video about taking delivery of large electrostatic panels that replaced my TADs.
Thank you Douglas.  I will definitely read the review, and have enjoyed your other reviews.  If you ever visit upper Manhattan and want to take a listen, I’d be happy to, and get your suggestions for placement.    
Visited a Store and was shunned
I agree that the store should be named.   There is zero reason not to.  How else can people/establishments improve unless they are shown that turning away people who had the knowledge and money to afford high end should not be judged by their perc... 
Things you did not know about what is inside your speakers and the Huge markups
I own TAD CR1 speakers (at least until they get shipped to their new owner) but the CST driver using vapor deposited beryllium, cost Pioneer millions of dollars to develop.  I doubt they ever got that R&D back.     The driver in my new speake... 
$35000 to $40,000. speakers what would you buy and why?
I really enjoyed reading this thread and everyone’s suggestions.     I actually just made a video about getting delivery of some new electroststatic speakers that the OP should consider, since he has and likes Magnapans.   https://youtu.be/hRQym... 
PS Audio PMG Signature Preamp or BHK Signature Preamp or Bryston BP-19
I just ordered the PMG preamp to see how it compares with my current all tube preamp powering the BHK300’s.  I have some brand new electrostats from Prodigio that have no crossover, so it will be interesting to hear.   I actually just made a vide... 
Opinions on PS Audio Direct Stream DAC (Mk 1)
I think the MKI with the full APS mod would be a fantastic dac when fed by a streamer, as people found the bridge card not as desirable. I used the bridge II card and found it better than the USB input. However I upgraded to the MKII and had the ... 
My new review for The Absolute Sound comparing AGD GAN amps with BHK300’s
Hey thanks all for watching and the kind words!  It’s gotten almost 10K views since yesterday which isn’t a lot for YouTube but a good amount for TAS’s channel which they are still building.  If anyone wants to post the link in other forums they b... 
Purifi v Gan amps?
Reviving this old thread. I am looking for 3 channels of high quality sound for Home Theater to power Andrew Jones’ forgotten orphan, the Elac Adante bookshelves. ( left, right and dedicated center). I just ordered 3 mono block GAN amps from clas... 
Audio Quest Niagara 5000
I have the 7000 and while with certain gear there can be a quiet hum near the unit, it hasn’t been through speakers.  I have my entire system going through it, with BHK300 monoblocks as well.  I find extra dynamics with the units added storage for... 
Speakers 10 years old or older that can compete with todays best,
I’m rocking an over 12 year old pair of speakers, whose designer recently stated that it was the speaker he was most proud of. The designer: Andrew Jones. The speaker: TAD CR1.
