| Commercial Storage Degradation Friend it sounds like you are experiencing the common sensitivities of high-end gear in such situations. Things like AC power, room acoustics due to a different room size and/or shape, and ceiling height to mention a few (there are many) are ... | |
| Mona Villa 300B-845 35W Class a Friend For what it is worth - the Chinese used to be hit or miss with quality on Audio equipment. However, Within the past couple years they have raised their game to a competitive point. I am not familiar with those specific amplifiers... | |
| Pass Labs Amps - Does the heat bother you? Friend Add one more to the "not to hot to tolerate" category! My Pass Labs sounds so great - i don't even think about heat. Now, I assume you are in an air conditioned home enjoying the music. | |
| Volume considerations Friend I second dtorc's comments on finding the right volume for each recording. This is introduces a rabbit hole because each recording and its recording particulars will be different. This is where a remote volume control can be wonderful... | |
| William Low interview Friend Thanks for sharing this information. Audioquest is an outstanding company; but their seemingly endless hierarchy of cables can be frustrating for those wanting a end game bargain - if that exists! Each level up their chain will yield ... | |
| Can "worse" sound "better" ? Friend To somewhat sum up what may have already been said or alluded to - it sounds like you are experiencing a good synergy match when connecting Preamplifier and Amplifier with the integration interconnects. The mysterious thing is the fact th... | |
| Your top 3 Friend Any Direct to Disc Vinyl if you are open to all genre's. To get started:"Cadillac and Mack The Detroit Four". Direct to Disc Vinyl is recorded/cut directly onto a lacquer disc without the use of magnetic tape, capturing the performanc... | |
| Does Ultralinear kill dynamics Friend IMHO Ultralinear mode is just not as friendly to the overall musical performance as triode. To me Triode just seems to have more of a "you are there" effect! The decision is along the lines of Ultralinear's higher power output vs Trio... | |
| Went to buy Vandersteen 2C speakers and came home with a conrad-johnson Premier 11A. Friend Congratulations on your Conrad-Johnson purchase. For what it is worth - the brand has been in the game a very long time and stands behinds its products from its Fairfax, Va location. I echo sls883's suggestion of getting it serviced ... | |
| Pass Labs Amps - Does the heat bother you? Friend Congratulations on being able to have discretionary funds to make the purchase. Since this question will have many responses - I will be brief: Please add Convergent Audio Technology to your list. If you can somehow make it to an aud... | |
| Mono Blocks / why are they not more prevalent? + Wyrded4Sound SX1000R Friend The mono-block does indeed provide a better presentation. However, factors such as space, weight, and convenience creep into the decision making process. And to make all of that more complicated - the those factors can change over time o... | |
| Problem and question. Friend Very sorry to hear about the fuse situation. It sounds like a thermal issue or perhaps a short. At any rate, Source direct to Amplifier brings many sonic gains - but a top tier Preamplifier will make a difference. If you are enjoying t... | |
| What about all those Chinese DACs? Friend When it comes to DAC’s - the Chinese have really raised their game. So, price point will dictate performance level. For $1K and under - the Chinese DAC’swill probably be hard to beat. But the next price point should start at $5K to avo... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV vs PMC Prophecy 9s Friend I only chime in because I Have a pair Klipsch. Unless you just have a strong preference for the horn sound - I think you will find that well made non-horn conventional box loudspeakers will give you a more accurate presentation with Solid... | |
| I want to upgrade my Turntable to something heavier Friend I retired in January 2026. Congratulations on your retirement! If you have a Turntable that is providing the presentation you want - consider a more sturdy equipment rack. Dogs seem to respect furniture and may not be a bull in a china ... |
