| Upgrade path direction I’m with GHD, if you are going to stick to separates a great preamp is a must. But the speakers are what “speak” to you. If it were me, I would audition a few pairs of speakers with your current setup, then maybe a different pre. The Aleph is a ni... | |
| Wilson Watt 3 Tiny Tots Tweeter issue Interesting choice of words. Why are you “burdened” by a pair of Watt Puppies? Regarding the tweeter, unsolder it if you can vs cutting. It will make resoldering the new one just a little easier. | |
| Is this a scam? Wow… as mentioned previously, the only solution is run. Period. Refund the deposit, be done. You don’t even need to say why. Just do it. | |
| My last Integrated Amp: $5-10,000? So. Many. Choices. You cannot go wrong with Hegel, Pass, Gryphon, Simaudio, Luxman etc. Look for reviews for the amps that suit your listening palette. Then go from there. | |
| Monstrous power cables No need for hostilities… the reality is, everything matters. Cables DO make a difference, no question. Where that sits relative to price is up to the individual. Lamp cord works, so does a 20k cable, as well as everything in between. It doesn’t ma... | |
| Ridiculous sale A scumbag is the guy that sells gallons of water for $10.00 in a hurricane zone. A guy that TRIES to sell an amp for a profit taking advantage of lack of supply not so much. Water is a need, an amp not hardly. If he gets the price he is asking, we... | |
| Best streamer for a returning audio guy Yeah, yet another vote for the Node. Get the newest one, there is a good step up with the inboard DAC. Try it both ways to see what you prefer. Great little piece for the $$$. | |
| Why are people paying these stupid tube prices? Um, perhaps you should have mentioned Viva Tubes pricing in your o.p.? I’m with the others… it read poorly. Sorry. Regarding tube prices in general, inflation sucks. Everything is more expensive. But tubes don’t seem too bad overall. Good ones hav... | |
| What is this piece called? Sorry, everyone is just wrong. That is indeed the flux capacitor. Use it wisely, it will serve you well! | |
| Best progressive rock album side Best of’s are just way too subjective. Here are a couple of mine… Rush: Hemispheres Porcupine Tree: In Absentia Tool: Undertow Yes: The Yes Album Pink Floyd: Dark Side so many more, these came up first. | |
| Sabrina X Anyone Add Subwoofer(s) I think well integrated subs improve most any speaker. A few exceptions for sure. But as others have suggested might be best to get them in your house and see what you think and go from there. | |

| Gryphon Diablo 120, Luxman L-590AXII, Other? For KEF R11 The Gryphon’s top and is anything but dark. I don’t know how the Luxman sounds, but Gryphon’s are hard to beat. Having said that, they definitely have a character. Whether or not the character matches your preferences will only be determined by an... | |
| Recommendations for Earplugs That Work – Protect But Allow Music In What kgturner said. That is the only way you are going to get what you are looking for. You can not only customize the fit, but also the overall effectiveness. For OTC Decibullz are moldable and overall pretty good. | |
| Gryphon Amp Owners: Results with AQ Niagara? Oh, I’m not buying the amp would “absorb” a full lighting hit. I’m in CO in the mountains so surge protection is a must. Full house and local. I prefer Shunyata power products, just seem to do better for me overall. |
