| Wyred 4 Sound - New Aura preamp? Anyone know anything? No response from the company ... Yes, the STP-SE Stage 2 costs $3,749 so the new one should be more expensive. | |
| The first review on the Linear tube Audio MicroZOTL preamplifier has gone up I am interested in this preamp but trying to find out more info. 1. What is S/N ratio2. Also most of its specs are for 4 ohm speakers not the more typical 8 ohm speakers. Is there a reason for this? | |
| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one I finally heard yesterday from Gryphon about the price of the 300. They said they "had to organize themselves." Anyway $16,000 retail for the integrated amplifier and $6,000 retail for the DAC module. Interestingly they used the word retail. | |
| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one Is the Diablo 300 16K? I sent an email to On A Higher Note a month ago and no response. | |
| Peter Gabriel 'SO' 25th Anniversary Remasters I bought this a year ago for my daughter. Turntable has been broken, just got it fixed. Played it and all sorts of ticks and noises on it. Did anyone else have this problem? I would like to buy another one (used) but not if they all have poor qual... | |
| Luxman DA-06 Dac...anyone? There are positive reviews at Audiostream and Computer Audiophile. Also some casual positive comments from Stereophile. There is a comparison of it to the Yulong D8 which costs $1,200 on head-fi. I am think of buying it from Japan. I wouldn't pay ... | |

| Boulder 1008 phono. Anyone hear it? Has anyone heard this recently? I'm trying to find out the technology for the RIAA Equalization, passive like the Allnics?I have a tube pre-amp and amp so leaning towards a SS phonostage. It has balanced inputs: how hard to rewire?Mono switch is v... | |
| SACD availability It seems to me that there are more SACDs coming out every day. Besides the sites listed above, Music Direct and Elusive Disc have plenty of them. I recently bought about 35 RCA Living Stereo Classical SACDs for about $6 a piece from Barnes & N... | |
| SS phono stage in $2k to $3k range... I had the Xono for about 5 years then the Thor TA-3000 for a year then the Audfio Resrch PH-7 for two years and now the Allnic H-1500 II. All of these these were good but I think the Allnic beats them all. There is a used one for $3,000 for sale n... | |
| Anyone modify the K&K phono stage? John, does that have balanced outputs? Just purchased the Art Audio Vivo amp which Kevin designed and I am very happy with it. Also is K & K going to market the Sonas Veritas? | |
| Revel Salon 2 vs. Revel Studio 2 I just noticed there about seven Salon 2s for sale right now at very attractive prices. What gives? | |
| Fremer/SSM w/Rim Drive I have not read the review yet but MF in the past has not been a big fan of the VPI truntables due to the acrylic platters. | |
| Large Thumping noise I have been using the exact same system for three years without any problems. I do have a tube integrated amp and at first I thought it needed new tubes but the cd player seems to work fine. If the cartridge is worn would this cause it? I am not d... | |
| AKUS - So Long So Wrong- Time to Stop Upgrading? I did upgrade to the Audio Research PH-7 phonostage from the Thor. Incredible sound. The upper bass is much better. In So Long So Wrong, I now hear a slight percussion sound at the beginning on the left channel. If you can hear this you have a gre... |
