| Y No YG ? I heard the YG Sonja 2.2($76K) with modestly priced Auralic equipment at Axpona. Really the best sound I heard at the entire show. Super transparent but an extremely involving sound. I could probably afford the Auralic equipment(even though 6 a... | |
| Innuos and Roon I heard the Innuous Statement at Axpona. It's supposed to be around $15k. I can't afford it or even the $7500 Zenith Se. The $7500 model was very good but the Statement-Holy Moly!!! Why isn't everyone talking about this product? Best digital I... | |
| Worst In Show I was at Axpona 2 out of the 3 days. There were several overpriced speakers that were not to my liking. Why bash them? Someone must like them or they would be out of business. Let's concentrate on what you thought was good or good for the mone... | |
| Opinions: Joseph Audio Pulsar vs Dynaudio Conficence C1 vs Totem Element Fire vs ????? A couple years back at Axpona , the Pulsars were teamed with a Hegel H20 amp. Very, very nice sounding. Very open sound.The H20 Hegel is not an integrated like the H360. It's a very underrated amp. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Gentlemen, I need your help. I can't tell if I need a slo-blo or fast blo fuse for my Line Magnetic Dac and 518i integrated amp. I had previously replaced the originals with Chinese AMR fuses. Very cheap but quite effective. I bought slo-blo f... | |
| The New Western Electric 845 Replicas Thanks for the tip. I will give them a try. I know good tubes make all the difference. $450 is very reasonable compared to the ever increasing prices of NOS. My problem with buying Chinese tubes is I never know the website to buy them at. I ... | |
| The New Western Electric 845 Replicas I own a Line Magnetic 518 integrated amp. I'm using the Psvane T Mark II 845 tubes. I was going to upgrade to the Psvane WE845's. Are you telling me the Shugang WE845's are better? In what way? What are the sonic differences? If this is true... | |
| Need Tube Preamp Warmth There is an Emotive Sira listed on here now that fits your budget. I heard my friends- really nice sound. | |
| Hagel H200 with Magico Mini II's? Auditioned the Hegel H200 and the H20 Amp. Liked the H200; LOVED the H20. If the Magico's need power, get the H20. A couple of used ones on Audiogon now. That's what you want. | |
| Hegel Separates vs Integrated amp I've heard both the H200 and the H20 with a separate pre-amp(not the Hegel). Although the H200 was good, the H20 is a keeper amp. Just powerful and smooth. If you could spring for it I would go with separates. Another consideration is the Hegel H3... | |
| Integrated amp for Joseph Audio Pulsars Heard the Pulsars with Hegel H20 amp. Sounded very nice. How about the Hegel H300 integrated? Great reviews- solid state, but musical. Fits into your budget-powerful enough and has a Dac, I believe. | |
| If not B&W 802 speakers then what speakers? Tekton Pendragrons or the new home theater speakers Tekton is just releasing. Get them with a matching center channel and you're all set. Very dynamic and highly efficient. You hear every nuance in a movie. | |
| can I get your input on a inexpensive pre-amp I think the Manley Jumbo Shrimp is just what you may need. Snappy ,lively and neutral, but a hint of fullness,tube magic and fullness. Usually see them used between $1200-$1600. Also outstanding build quality. | |
| New Artist - amazing music Just checked him out on YouTube. Everyone should watch "Signals" video. Mesmerizing guitar. | |
| Hegel H300 I'm waiting for my dealer to get one in so I can audition it. Suppose to be technology based on their reference amp and preamp. Could be outstanding. |
