| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! WC- you might search out a pair of CAT monoblocks for the big Neoliths - that could be an outstanding combo as they are built to drive such loads. | |
| Life of KT150 tubes on ARC Amps I got around 3500 hours out of mine, but replacement was noticeably better (purchased from Kevin Deal). | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Whitecamaro, I’ve heard Nordost cables since they introduced Valhalla 20 years ago. Many of my friends have tried and ultimately moved on from them. They have a distinct audio signature, which even like your comments unknowingly describe, is unnat... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Nordost is artificial, hifi sound. All that “detail” is fake as you’ll discover and comes at the expense of natural tone and timbre. Then again, just one mans opinion. | |
| ***Going Insane***End Game Speakers***Harbeth Verity or Living Voice*** I've tried Quad ii monos on my Devore Gibbon X in a smedium room and it wasn't enough juice.You need to be >95dbs like the Orangutan or others mentioned | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! the MSB Select2 is probably the only dac to unseat preamps | |
| What is the best pre-amp for ARC Ref 75SE amp? Works fabulously with my Music First Baby Ref v2. I think you’d need the $30k Ref 10 to beat it. | |

| DAW vs Alexia 1 vs Sasha 2, descending order of $$ I'd get the Sasha 2 over the original Alexia - a boomy, incoherent mess to me (and its funny most Alexa 2 reviews now admit it).I owned Sophia 1s on BAT gear for several years - the only non-fatiguing Wilson at the time :) | |
| DAW vs Alexia 1 vs Sasha 2, descending order of $$ In a limited dealer demo of the DAW, I would choose it over the Alexia and Sasha2. It is far more coherent with tighter bass and easier to drive. It is the first Wilson I have liked in a long time. | |
| Nature of the current used speaker market there have been 8-10 pairs of Alexia 1s it seems for an eternity. | |
| Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9 I've heard the A3s on Vac monoblocks at the LA Audio Show and me and two others found them dynamically restricted and kinda dead sounding.I've heard the D7s numerous times including at a local dealer and find them far more musical sounding. They w... | |
| Help: Devore O/96 Integrated Amp + DAC suggestion I've had really good success using the ARC Ref75SE which seems to tame the long-throw woofs well on my Gibbon Xs.I use a Music First TVC passive, so costs about same as a top flight integrated amplifier. | |
| Apple TV Streaming Sound Quality vs Streamer? I replaced my ATV with a dedicated Innuos server over ethernet- this was as large a difference as a preamplifier change. YMMV. | |
| yggdrasil dac and Innous Zenith MK2 I use WireWorld Ethernet from the wall to the Zenith and WireWorld USB from the Zenith to the M12 pre/dac. Sorry- I meant taking advantage of the Zenith's isolated ethernet ports. ie. no more USB |
