| Spatial Audio open baffle speakers, who has them? Worthwhile change from Maggies? uberwaltzI have a few questions for you. Which Maggies do you have now, what is you budget, how big is your room and what amp to you have? Those are all important questions.I had a pair of 3.7i's for 3 years and I thought they were a very special ... | |
| Pass Labs XA-25 on all the time? hey cooperjackI own a Pass Labs XA30.8 and I leave it on all the time. There is a reason I do that. Every time I have to unplug my amp or just turn it off for a long period of time I noticed that when I plugged back in again things just didn't sou... | |
| Which SS integrated amp to choose? ApanhcHere is my problem with Pass Labs, I think they make some of the best sounding, most reliable amps out there, that will also drive 90% of all speakers and they remain very musical while doing so, but, after owning their XP20 and XP30 preamps... | |
| Guest suddenly takes it upon herself to move my speakers EmailistsI feel your pain! I would have looked at her and asked “are you tired of living”? When my cleaning lady comes in to my home to clean, I draw an imaginary line in the carpet with my foot and tell her, you DO NOT go beyond this line for ANY... | |
| My “Dream” system needs a preamp Hi kgveteran,Don't mean to avoid your question on this thread. I noticed your dream system consists of a pair of Magnapan 1.7i's. First let me say that I think Magnapan is a great company who makes wonderful speakers. In the past I've owned and re... | |
| My “Dream” system needs a preamp Hi tinear123I saw your post from September of last year stating you switched from the PS Audio BHK pre and replaced it with a Supratek Cabernet. I am considering doing that exact same thing. I've had the BHK pre for almost 2 years now and after ch... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT8B’s reversing woofer polarity Hey bdp24Thanks for the explanation, I’m sure I would have eventually figured all that out, only problem is I would have been 5 years older! Does Rythmik sell this sub already built? I would like to hear one. The other sub System I would like to h... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT8B’s reversing woofer polarity Hi bdp24I appreciate your input and suggestions. I went to GR Research's website and I don't see the Rythmik/OB dipole subs you're recommending. Does GR Research still sell these or have they been discontinued? Do you use one or two and where do y... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT-8b in Harry's system Hi bdp24,I just saw your post and thought I would respond. There is a reason Harry Weisfeld chose the LFT8B's for his planar choice. Bruce Thigpen, the designer of the LFT8B has been designing "out of the box" (no pun intended) audio for decades, ... | |
| New tube preamp Hi aberyclarkI do not have a volume control on the dac so I can’t run it directly into the amp. I have tried that several times with other DACs in the past but never thought it sounded better. I am the type of listener that feels the preamp is one... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? Hi Hilde45The name for tube preamps that keeps coming up is Don Sachs. It’s nearly impossible to find a bad word ever written about this gentleman or his best preamp. The more I read about it the more impressed I became with it. The product is sol... | |
| Hidden Gems in Pre-Owned Solid State Power Amplifiers? Hi Avanti1960,Right now there is a Pass Labs XA30.8 stereo class "A" amp that is for sale (not mine) that I also have used for the last five years that is, in my opinion, an absolute giant killer. I have owned too many other amps to list here but ... | |
| Which of these power cords ? Hi cdc2,I don't mean to rain on your parade but that leaves you $142.00 for each cord. Go toaudiobacon.net https://audiobacon.net/2019/08/17/27-audiophile-power-cables-reviewed/ It's a great online audio website, he did... | |

| Whats your take on a NAD 3020, I truly believe it defined stereo and still does! Hi Colin44ct357,Many years ago I went to my local stereo store (remember those) and told the salesman I wanted to upgrade my preamp. I had an amp I was very happy with, a Bryston 100 watt per channel stereo amp. We got it down to two different mod... |
