| What do audiophiles want from a cable? I agree jmcgrogan2 in that I go for what sounds good to me. It's all part of what I call voicing my system, an exercise that has included not only the cabling but also the speaker crossover components, the tubes used in the preamp & amp, the p... | |
| Power conditioner help Arsh,I see the route you’re going. Thanks for the added info. | |
| Power conditioner help Arsh,I looked back through the thread and must have missed the reference, but what is the PIR and the XLPC?John | |
| Power conditioner help Vic & Jay,From my experience I’d say you are both correct in your comments. I was in the shop one day and saw a couple of Tripp Lite isolation transformers laying around. One was an IS1000 (8.3 Amp rating) and the other was an IS500 (4.2 Amp r... | |
| Power conditioner help Arsh,I got my Bryston from Audio Advisor. They were great to deal with. Music Direct carries the Torus. Both carry the P10. I think both might have return policies that will give you the opportunity to demo and return if that should be your de... | |
| Power conditioner help Arsh: An opportunity to demo at home is always a great way to go in my opinion.@vicweast: I didn't want to hijack this thread so I sent you an email regarding my Ayon + KT150 tube experience. I have both a Spirit III (office system) and Triton ... | |
| Power conditioner help Arsh,My experience with the AVR20 mirrors Vic’s experience with his system as I have not experienced any limitation in current, compression of soundstage, etc. In fact, quite the opposite has been the case. Also, Vic and I use the same amp (Ayon T... | |
| Power conditioner help Arsh,The Bryston plugs into the wall, my amp and media player plug into the Bryston. The Torus/Bryston 20-series is a beast. I use a Kimber PK10 Gold to run from the wall to the Bryston, and the PK10 Palladian power cords from the Bryston to the a... | |
| Power conditioner help Arsh,I use a Bryston AVR20 isolation transformer and love it. It's the exact same thing as a Torus AVR20, just branded by Bryston, so any review you read on either can be substituted for the other. The AVR series has surge protection, power isol... | |
| "Good tube Integrated Amps" I’d add the Ayon Scorpio to your audition list. | |
| Question about valves running hours The owner's manual for my tube amplifier advises that to increase tube life that it not be left running for more than an hour if it is not being used. Along the same line, a comment made in the owner's manual for my (tube-based) media player is th... | |
| Ayon "Best of Show 6 years etc" When is enough ENOUGH? Vic,Glad you are continuing to enjoy your gear. I certainly continue to enjoy my Triton and S-5. Additionally, last week I got a Spirit 3 (Gen 4) for my home office system and it's impressing me as being a nice amp too. Based on my experience w... | |
| Dynaudio Sappires vs Focal Sopra 2's Paul,I certainly know how how our hobby goes... always something!I look forward to hearing your impression of the Sopra 2's.Best wishes,John | |
| Ayon "Best of Show 6 years etc" When is enough ENOUGH? While the ads are amusing I'm glad that USA Tube Audio continues to support this site. My experience with them has been fine too and I have found them to be very friendly and helpful. Regarding the Ayon equipment, I have two Ayon based systems: ... | |
| Dynaudio Sappires vs Focal Sopra 2's I do not have any experience with these two speakers but wanted to say that the Sapphire uses my favorite tweeter, the Esotar. For my tastes, and provided that we are talking about similarly sized speakers, I would not change from a speaker that ... |
