| So what ever happened to Kinki Studio??? @b_limo The pairing of the Carrera Be and the Kinki is great. Actually Fritz had the same pairing and admitted to me that he sold his Kinki Integrated too soon without giving it enough time to break-in properly. He realized it when he went to a c... | |
| Back to trying to upgrade Harbeth 30.1s Look at the Reynaud Bliss Jubilee. | |
| So what ever happened to Kinki Studio??? Correct the Supratek's are transformer coupled and fully balanced. I think the lowest efficiency speaker I have in my stable is the Fritz Carrera Be but it is an easy load. | |
| So what ever happened to Kinki Studio??? @demoiree I have been using mine with the Supratek Chardonnay and the only issue I had with it going into fault mode was with the 5AS4 fast start-up rectifier as opposed to Mick's recommendation of the 5AR4 whose slow start up doesn't cause the EX... | |
| What amp to match with Spatial Audio M3 Sapphire open back speakers @jlr261 Still have the M3TM's and they get rotated in and out of one system with a pair of Nola KO's. Still have the original EX-M1 and it is in a second home paired with a pair of Fritz Carrera Be's. It was replaced in the system the M3's resid... | |
| What amp to match with Spatial Audio M3 Sapphire open back speakers @jlr261 I used the Kinki EX-M1 with the M3TM's for over a year and it is a great match and will give you the power you are looking for to go in your room. Price is still $2398 direct from manufacturer.https://www.kinki-studio.com/ex-m1 | |
| Old vs New, an experience with Dynaudio. He's been beating this same dead horse on multiple forums for well over a year. | |
| Streamer recommendations Used Aries Femto can be found regularly between $7-900.https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649624086-auralic-aries-with-lps/ | |
| Streamer with AES3 Out and no DAC On an iPad using the software slider is not that difficult on a iPhone it could be tricky. Since I use a preamp the slider stays at 100. Upscale still has the remotes for $5.00. | |
| Streamer with AES3 Out and no DAC The Aries G1 has the ability to program a universal remote of your choice to work with it. I bought a new remote from Upscale for the previous Aries Femto and programmed it but hardly ever use it. | |
| 1000.00 speakers There is a pair of Vandersteen 2CE Sigs on Audiocircle for $799 and that would be your best bet if you can give them a little breathing room in the rear. | |
| If a speaker stand is mass-loading, how much does it matter what they're made of? @hilde45 Take a look at the adjustable stands from Reference 3A. Galen Carol is a dealer and I am sure there are others. http://www.reference3a.com/stands.html | |
| Need preamp recommendation @riffwraith He's a member on the AudioShark forum and the gear was for sale there at one point. | |
| Partly passive preamp? Wyred 4 Sound STP-SE | |
| Looking for new speakers As your Luxman integrated has pre outs and main ins I would look at the Vandersteen Quatro CT. Same first order crossover concept as your Thiels with the addition of the built in subwoofers. But first as tomcic said check with the people on the Th... |
