| LS50 Wireless fail, or is old gear that good? I would caution anyone looking into the LS50W's to use them with filled stands if you can. There was no comparison when I ran mine on heavy, filled, spiked stands with room to breathe vs having them on a dresser/desk close to the rear wall. Ever... | |
| Digital integrated alternatives to SET tube system Hello guys and girls,I wanted to return to this thread to give my impressions on the Devialet 200/Audionote pairing. I'm very impressed with this amplifier in sound presentation as well as features. It took a few days to get accustomed to the sou... | |
| KEF LS50 Wireless -- wow!!! @mofojo No, most of my listening was folk, blues, electronic etc.I will say the biggest downfall of these speakers to me was at low volume listening. They do require some volume to come alive. But I am also used to my Audionotes that start hoppin... | |
| KEF LS50 Wireless -- wow!!! I also recently bought a new pair of these in white with matching stands. I have the stands filled with sand.Ultimately I purchased these for bedroom speakers but had them in my main listening room for some break in time. Even out of the box I w... | |
| Digital integrated alternatives to SET tube system @atmasphere All great tips for any tube users! I am excited to try out the Devialet once I get it home. Although I’m just getting home from work, then leaving the country for two weeks. Oh well, something to play with once I’m home. And I’ve alrea... | |
| Digital integrated alternatives to SET tube system @mapman Thanks, Bel Canto seems to do no wrong when most people talk about them.@atmasphere I do have spares but I’ve had poor experiences purchasing tubes over the years already. Had a brand new power tube fail within a month or so. And a NOS Bla... | |
| Digital integrated alternatives to SET tube system @grannyring Thanks Granny. I've followed along on your 2170 comments and your DI mods as well. Great to have some comparison with higher efficiency speakers. Really like the fact it can maintain composure at the lower volumes. | |
| Digital integrated alternatives to SET tube system @audioman58 That is a gorgeous amp, I'd take the Walnut! Thank you. More food for thought. | |
| Digital integrated alternatives to SET tube system Hi guys, sorry for the tardiness! I will just address these responses as a whole as responding to each one is quite time consuming. But I very much appreciate all the feedback.So as of lately, I’m hooked on the Devialets. I have a friend whom I gr... | |
| Digital integrated alternatives to SET tube system @rodge827 I will give him a shout, thanks. I do like the idea of more meat on the bones. My music tastes are mostly modern folk/Americana, blues, reggae with everything else in between. I'm not a very loud listener unless the Scotch is calling ... | |
| Digital integrated alternatives to SET tube system @audiothesis @shkong78 @jond My mind is pretty much made up that I will be leaving tubes. I don't mind buying gear and selling if it doesn't work out for me. Losing a couple bucks here and there for in house "demos" is fine by me. I guess dee... | |
| Digital integrated alternatives to SET tube system @maritime51 Done and done. | |
| Digital integrated alternatives to SET tube system @djones51 That's a nice unit as well, what speakers are you paired up with? | |
| Digital integrated alternatives to SET tube system @maritime51 That Kinki EX M1 is very enticing, especially for the price point. I read through the big thread on it as well. | |
| Digital integrated alternatives to SET tube system Besides losing some richness and harmonics of the tube sound, does anyone care to wager a guess on what will happen to my bass response going to a digital amplifier? |
