| Zu Soul Supreme Recap -- Owners, what are your preferred system pairings with them? parsons - you might look at the Melody AN845 integrated. I forgot to list that one. | |
| Zu Soul Supreme Recap -- Owners, what are your preferred system pairings with them? Hey Parsons, tbh I think Soul Supremes and Druids should pair well with the same amps as they use the same drivers - Defs are a bit different as they are tougher to drive. I have heard a zillion amps with Zu, so this is my experience.For SS:FirstW... | |
| Upgrade Quandary: Ref 75SE vs Ref 150 (non SE) I would not buy a non-SE ARC amp - the sonic gains are too much. I would save up for a Ref150SE or get a Ref 75SE in the interim and see how it performs. | |
| Best Tube Amp For Sonus Faber? Or Pass XA-100.5? $6-7,500 Budget, Purchasing Used. ARC Ref 150SE makes the most sense with the SF measurements. | |
| PranaFidelity speakers, what say you? Sounded great at the LA Audio Show this past weekend. Seemed like a good value. | |
| Budget SET or SEP recommendations? Easy - Almarro A205 | |
| Preamp - Ayre vs. Audio Research Jafant- Alma Audio in San Diego | |
| Preamp - Ayre vs. Audio Research My dealer has had success with the Ref 6 and Dags - loves the combo. | |
| ARC Ref 5se inferior to LS28? I agree with the others that it seems like marketing. The LS is a hybrid preamp and is going to sound very different from the fully tubed Ref series. The power supplies just don't compare.fwiw, the LS25mk2 was the least favorite preamp that I've o... | |
| Amplifiers and Dynaudio C2 signatures Best amp I had on my C1s was the Pass X250.5. | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup I've had Black Shadows in a large room (25' x 24') and had no issues at ear bleeding levels. Sophia Electric may have an older pair of 206-based 845 amps if you want a cheaper option, or Melody if you want an integrated one.For SS, Sean has been u... | |
| Ayon's "Scorpio" tube imtegrated amp vs PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium tube integrated??. You might also look at Melody - they make some great stuff at reasonable prices. | |
| Why Single-Ended? Honestly you need to audition all kinds of amplifiers (I have). They work best with different speakers as well. I personally don't like SET amps at all (and I've owned 101db and now 91db speakers and tried at least a half dozen of them). I tend to... | |
| I've decided to try Tubes I would call Sean - he will have multiple recommendations. | |
| Wilson Sasha 2 or Alexia for small room 10' x 17'? Troy- I would agree with you about Vandy and have always thought the same thing.Paradigms historically have been bright speakers - but maybe the new Personas have changed to represent a much more realistic tonality. |
