| Qobuz still messed up I haven't read the entire thread, so forgive me if I am being redundant. It sounds like you are not getting the data fast enough due to low bandwidth or interruptions in the data. I sometimes have similar issues. Does anyone know if internet servi... | |
| Expanding the Class D Conversation: How Would You Characterize Their Differences? @hilde45 I'm not trying to sway you one way or another. But if you do audition the Dragons bear in mind that they come with JJ's installed. My first impression was they sounded kind of dull. But further burn-in (they get 24 hr at assembly) and sw... | |
| Expanding the Class D Conversation: How Would You Characterize Their Differences? @hilde45 I was thinking of my previous comment about the Dragon monos being too much for your more sensitive speakers. The gain from those amps (at 22) is actually lower than most. You certainly won't need all the reserve power they offer, but..... | |

| Expanding the Class D Conversation: How Would You Characterize Their Differences? @devinplombier That is less than generous. Ralph has always been straight with us. | |
| Expanding the Class D Conversation: How Would You Characterize Their Differences? @hilde45 I did try Ralph's amps a few years ago. They are very nice and I think probably more in line with the needs of your speakers. There was a dealer somewhere in NJ that had loaners that I tried. Good luck with it all. | |
| Expanding the Class D Conversation: How Would You Characterize Their Differences? @hilde45 You might give Rogue a call to discuss. Your speakers are cone drivers ~87dB? The Dragon monos are WAY too much power. There is a Dragon stereo amp might be better. And I believe they have other tube/D offerings. They are happy to talk a... | |
| Expanding the Class D Conversation: How Would You Characterize Their Differences? @decooney Include the entire sentence: It is just a different presentation that I find a little hard to describe. What don't you understand about I find a little hard to describe? I think my comments prior to that give some context. I also think... | |
| Expanding the Class D Conversation: How Would You Characterize Their Differences? @hilde45 I did have a pair of Audion V1 prior to the Tempo. According to Alberto they are exactly the same except the Tempo channels share a common power supply. The Audions would have little more to offer. I did consider the AGD Duet monos, but t... | |
| Expanding the Class D Conversation: How Would You Characterize Their Differences? @hilde45 I’ve been on a bit of a journey lately. A couple of years ago I bought a pair of Magnapan LRS+ and fell in love with their presentation. At the time I was using an AGD Tempo amp, and at anything above a pretty low level it strained to ke... | |
| Need Tube Suggestions for Rogue Dragon Monos @mike4597 Great suggestions! Using the Fidelium speaker cables now, with outstanding results! Thanks! While I tried and returned them before (2x!) in a completely different system, they are the cat’s meow now. @buellrider97 see the Fidelium comme... | |
| Need Amp Advice from the Collective Well well well... the Rogue Dragon Monos and definitely staying! I haven't rolled tubes in them yet, but one thing I found is I had been using Zafino speaker cables and the Dragons were sounding a bit subdued. Switched in a pair of Silversmith Aud... | |
| Magnepan LRS+ and WiiM Amp The thing about the LRS+ is they increasingly shine as the quality of upstream electronics improves. Want the best from them? Get the best electronics you can afford. @yyzsantabarbara If your LRS+ were outshined by KEF LS50's something was wron... | |
| Need Tube Suggestions for Rogue Dragon Monos @mike4597 Ahhh, interconnects! I like what they did for your system! I'll call him. | |
| Need Tube Suggestions for Rogue Dragon Monos @mike4597 Hi Mike, thanks for the suggestion. I did try them once a few years ago when I was using an AGD amp driving KEF Reference speakers. They were too bright in that system, but maybe that is what I need for this one. The wild card is the Mag... |
