| Why are Ayon tube amps not mentioned very often? I have a Viva Solistino integrated Amp, but the Ayon Crossfire was a serious contender. That was before the Ayon dealer mentioned the cost to replace some of the tube's. | |
| Does a Tube Dac make sense? My integrated amp and DAC are both tubed based, no issues and both sound great. | |
| Enjoying New CD Transport Purchase Check out Joan Osborne's "What you are" , off of Pretty Little Strangers, beside being a great track, it is also a great test track. | |
| SVS vs REL and experiences with both: your comments and preferences... I replaced my JL Audio E-112 (2), with a pair of REL S/510, due integration issues. I was running my speakers full range with the subs working underneath, altho the subs sounded very good on some material I just could not eliminate some bass boo... | |
| Looking to buy a quality integrated $10,000 budget. Maybe consider a Viva Solistino, very well designed 18W, SET amp. With your speakers being so efficient this IA, will sound wonderful. I also agree with the other recommendations on the Luxmans. | |
| Pass Labs x250.8 vs tube amps My Viva "Solistino" is an 18W class A integrated amp. I usually turn it on for 10-15 minutes for warm up, it does sound a little better after 30 mins. And the IA runs very hot.....can't imagine a system that takes 5-6 hours to warm up. | |
| What's your favorite boutique speaker maker +2 for Daedalus, and add to it Selah Audio. | |
| Rel vs the world I am using a pair of JL Audio E-112 subs in my two channel rig, so far they are sounding very good, but still working on getting them integrated to my mains. Several years ago I was using a pair of Rythmik, F-12G which I found to be excellent... | |
| Viva Solistino Amp @charles1dad Again thank you for your kind reply and your spot on advice. As I originally stated, I had read many of your tube related posts and respect your insight.....@joeinid Thanks, I appreciate your coments. Yes my Viva is a keeper. | |
| Viva Solistino Amp Yes the D input is a direct connection for a preamp and S is for the sub should be self explanatory, but with no info from the OEM, it was trial and error. | |
| Viva Solistino Amp Well the Viva is still front and center in my system. I am still using the stock tubes that came with the amp, but I plan on replacing them early next year.The Viva mates very well with my Daedalus speakers, in its ability to drive them. The spea... | |
| unbeatable Class A integrated If you like tubes and have efficient speakers, then take a look at Viva Solistino IA. This IA has 18W pure class A, it's a very fine piece. | |
| Recommendations on a big 3 way bookshelf - new or vintage - speakers, have stands 17" high Selah Audio "Tempesta " is a fine 3 - way large monitor speaker. They are well designed and sound great. | |
| New integrated amp I had a KWI-200, Dan's products are first rate, very well made and exceptional customer support....If needed. At the time it easily beat my Bryston B-100, a fine IA in its own, the MW has greater grip, headroom and of course power. | |
| Are integrated amps technically better than separates? I agree seperates provide greater flexibility and separation, but I have always liked the convenience of a good IA. As such I have owned both, like many others, I moved back to an IA, Viva Solistino, and have no regrets....its a fine IA and if I... |
