| Recommendations for CD Player/DAC Combo If you fancy a bit of Tubey lovelyness try the line magnetic LM-515cd. One of the most satisfying CD players I’ve listened too and a great dac as well. Love mine. | |
| Tannoy Westminster amp matching question. Hddg, sorry I've been away a long time ( not for any criminal reason :-). ).my personal, overall findings were that the Wests just liked being driven by beefy amps. The plinius sa250 with Einstein pre amp worked the best for me. I didn't try any s... | |
| Amplifier matching with omega super Alnico Monitors. Thanks Rich, I'm still unsure as to my systems evolution yet. I am intrigued by Marks suggestion of the class d red dragon s500, as I've never heard any digital amps I liked. And he's talking about them in the same breath as the 300b Frankensteins... | |
| Amplifier matching with omega super Alnico Monitors. I just swapped a couple of messages with Louis (the designer). He said that the LM518ia was a great match with the SAMs. Which is nice. | |
| Amplifier matching with omega super Alnico Monitors. Hi all, I think stfoth has things about right. What he suggests rings true for the SAMs as well. They are very nimble speakers. I suppose they are suited to less complex music in the way described above. Solo instruments sound fantastic, tone , le... | |
| Amplifier matching with omega super Alnico Monitors. Hi smrex. I think there are many different single driver designs, which will include some huge folded horn design that will provide full range. However these were fully intended to be a compromise for a smallish lounge system. However it’s fair to... | |
| Amplifier matching with omega super Alnico Monitors. Hi guys, I can see both your points of view. 250 does seem over the top, but if they work well at initial few watts and sound good then $1500 is a bargain and they would run economically and cool all day. That said if I were going for one of Nelso... | |
| Amplifier matching with omega super Alnico Monitors. That's a good point. The S500 would be very maintenance free for all day use. I see they have an ex dem one for 1500 on there website. I've always been very sceptical of digital amplifiers. I've only ever heard some driving b&w 802s. Not my id... | |
| Amplifier matching with omega super Alnico Monitors. Hi Mark. I always fancied the Frankensteins but I never got the chance to hear them here. I was looking for some 300bs to go with my tannoy westminsters a few years back. I never managed to get any 300bs to work well with the Tannoys. The more cur... | |
| Amplifier matching with omega super Alnico Monitors. Hi Rich, thanks for the reply....... I haven't spoke to Louis yet. The speakers are still shipping to me at the moment from the Omega dealer here. I listened to them in the store with the small Leben integrated. They sounded good like that. I supp... | |

| Line Mangnetic CD player 515. Tube rolling . Hi there, I've been so happy with it that I decided to leave it alone. I have done extensive tube rolling with my 518Ia and that's made incremental benefits. I've never been happier with my stereo end to end. Both the CD player And my TT are sound... | |
| Power tubes as drivers -- Line Magnetic If you get a chance you should try a pair of WE845 by psvane. They are a very interesting tube. They make everything subtlely better. They let you listen deeper into the details of the music in all areas. I did have some reliability issues, but on... | |
| Amps which are Great, but either Unknown or Underpriced +1 Line Magnetic 518ia .... Or 219ia if your bank balance and back can manage it. | |
| Einstein Thanks holter. I am looking at ways of using the balanced out. It is, after all , what the tube was designed for . My current thinking is to pair it with the pass labs xa30.8. But my planets have to align before I make that purchase. It's a very d... |
