| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! dguitarnut,Please save the 25 ft rolls, this way I can come over and listen to your system. When it sounds great with the zipcord, I can use the rolls to hang myself! When it sounds like crap, I can still use the zipcord to hang myself... A win... | |
| Top music streamer for 2019? Aurender N10’s? Another vote for the Innuos Zenith...I am the proud owner of an Aurender N100H as was a close friend of mine. My friend had a situation that utilizing Roon would allow him to compensate for. As a result, last year at Axpona I became aware of the... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! WC and "crew",Last night I attended an open house at Quintessence Audio (Morton Grove, IL) that was advertised as a release party for the new dCS Bartok DAC and Wilson Sasha DAW speakers (in main room these were partnered with Audio Research Ref 1... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Hey WC,just a word of encouragement... I acquired a set of used Valhalla speaker cables last week. I don’t know how long it has been since they were last used, but I have had them playing 24 hours a day, nonstop since last Friday. Tonight, they... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! RIAA, that was absolutely hilarious! Just what everyone needed.Everyone, have a great day today. | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @techno_dude,288 posts on this thread since March 12, 2018 when you joined Audiogon--or did you have another name that was removed for some reason?"Only" 5% of all posts on a 30 month thread in 11 months...At least you have started your own separa... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @viber6, I would like to invite you to come to Chicago, IL, specifically to the suburb of Morton Grove, to visit a retailer named Quintessence Audio. For the record, I have no special relationship with them other than having been a relatively ins... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! WC,Without overstating things... The best system I have ever heard was all Nordost with a Ref 10 in the middle. Do not let go of that pre-amp until you have heard it with at least Valhalla 2 or Odin Power cords to amp(s), preamp, DAC, server and... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! WC,My system is all Nordost having replaced MIT. The MIT was mushy, blurry, muddy... Kind of like the sound of an instrument or system in an echo chamber, undamped, prison cell... or bathroom! Nordost is the antithesis: fast, clear, revealing, det... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Viber6,Where in my post did I say that “you don’t know what you are talking about”? I did not. What I said is that we all have a certain level of expertise and that we all (or perhaps-nearly all) have opinions. Most of us moderate what we post i... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @viper6,Since your expertise is so much more voluminous and well informed than the rest of us mere mortals, perhaps you can talk in terms of the differences in tonal characteristics of a mid 60’s rosewood vs maple necked Stratocaster informed by t... | |

| Amp/Preamps vs. High end AV Receivers I strongly suggest you check out a Classe Sigma SSP Pre/Pro. It was designed on B&W speakers when Classe was part of the B&W family. Classe was shut down but I understand it is back up and running. Balanced for L/R channels, single end... | |
| Are BAT amps kind to less-than-stellar recordings? I have a VK 500 SE. It is slightly warm so in that regard, it might be slightly kind to harsh recordings, although I would prefer to say less ruthless to awful recordings. My listening is probably not too far from your own. Great recordings sou... | |
| Classe CA301 or BAT VK-500 Last year I replaced the primary amplification of my system which previously had utilized 2 channels of a Classe Amp 5 with a BAT VK 500 SE (with BatPak). The rest of my system is ProAc Response 5, Classe Sigma SSP, Aurender N100H, Linn LP12, Nor... |
