| Switching to solid state amp? One could make a case to move from tubes to SS because they prefer the sound of a SS amp as that is a decision based on personal preference. One can also make a case that they don't want to pay for tube replacements. That is also valid with amps w... | |
| The Most Realistic Speaker Technology? Funny how these zombie threads rise from the dead and come to life after ten years. From another thread that Leroy started two weeks after this thread in 2008 he asks " Hello everyone. I just bought a pair of Emerald Physics CS2 speakers, I know ... | |
| Not Enough Options for Auditioning Speakers One thing I would strongly recommend is for you to get involved in a local audio club / group. I know there are a couple of options in the central FL area. Great way to experience other members' systems. Members tend to be very knowledgable with l... | |
| Best amp pairing with Aerial Acoustics Speakers? @jrunr I would never recommend horizontal bi-amping for efficient / sensitive speakers because it wouldn’t make sense. But for difficult to drive speakers it can be the most cost effective way to go with outstanding results. That is my experience.... | |
| Best amp pairing with Aerial Acoustics Speakers? "That sounds like a good idea,"Yes, it does because it works if done right."but in practice using 2 different amps horizontal is nothing short of a train wreck." My experience is just the opposite. You could elaborate on why your experience is dif... | |
| Best amp pairing with Aerial Acoustics Speakers? Jrunr, in looking at the impedance graph measurements in the Stereophile review of your Arial 7B's it seems you are in a similar situation as I am with my Infinity Kappa 9's.

| Crown XLS 2500 - the best amp value per dollar? @boomzilla , BINGO! | |
| Crown XLS 2500 - the best amp value per dollar? So just over a year and a half since I started this thread. Cracks me up reading my personal evolution over that time. @bombaywalla - you are so right. I almost sold the XLS 2500 but had put it away in a closet instead. I just pulled it out and co... | |

Any seller who does not become an expert in the details of PayPal seller protection policies is rolling the dice with every sale. One misstep such as not getting delivery confi... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil Upgrades @audioman58 Those "red" WIMA caps are generally considered to be fine caps Polypropylene caps . Your last post is now causing me to question your first post. With all due respect, of course. | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil Upgrades Your saying that the coming upgrade is not a software upgrade but a new hardware release? Wouldn’t that be a completely new DAC model since one of the promises of the Yggdrasil is that it is future upgradable? I don’t think it is right to make a c... | |
| Anything to compete with Sony UHP-H1 ? Right now I am mainly interested in it as a bridge streamer for my audio files, not picture quality. It has both WIFI and Ethernet connectivity. I would use the digital out to connect into my DAC. This unit is also DNLA compliant so can use any DN... |
