| Ultimate pre/power amp for Sonus Faber Memento I would not go with Plinius based on my 9200 integrated experience, sound was not transparent and extended enough for me.I have never owned a BAT SS amp, so can't comment on that. Some claimed BAT SS amps do share a house sound as BAT tube amps, I... | |
| Ultimate pre/power amp for Sonus Faber Memento I am trying to build a 2nd system around my Memento. I have tried several amps in the past few months including:Pass INT-30A. Musical and warm. Maybe it's not broken in, it doesn't have quite the extensions on both ends. Details are there, but not... | |
| Amazing ''Overachieving'' products...your pick? Black diamond racing conesHerbie's tube damperaccessories are as important as components they support, don't forget about them. | |
| Pass XA30.5 enough power for Wilson Sophia 2? I am not surprised by Madfloyd's observation, I own BAT tube amps and even their tube amps have stellar bass response. BAT solid state amps have more caps than most amps in the power supply as the designer believes in more storage energy the bette... | |
| Pass XA30.5 enough power for Wilson Sophia 2? Madfloyd, how does the two (Pass vs. Bat) compare other than bass? | |

I have moved out of the country more than once due to work, I am glad I did not own ARC gear and I probably never will after l... | |
| Why three motors? I have read a thread in the past Clearaudio with 3 motors sounded best with only 1 belt. this guy has experimented with all possible configuration and found the sound to improve significantly with only 1 belt. his hypothesis was 3 motors + 3 belts... | |
| small room... tube amp... summer buy a decent SS amp for summer, keep the tube amp for rest of the year.w/o tube, you will never be happy. if you are never happy, why bother to have any stereo at all? | |
| New Preamp what are you using currently and what sound do you like? | |
| Any Thoughts on the Sonic Frontiers power 1? It does come in SE version, but similar to Power 2/3 SE, majority of difference is in power tube per Chris Johnson himself. I never had Power 1 to compare to the SE which I current have, but I did have Power 2 and Power 2SE back to back and I hone... | |
| Magico V-2 vs. Sonus Faber Guarneri Mementos don't think Magico V2 is built for that room size, Guarneri Memento will be a much better fit if you are only picking from these two. | |
| What time do you wear? Another Zenith Chronomaster owner, in fact I am wearing it right now. Mine has black dial & bracelet, very low profile and super accurate. This is now my favorite watch among my collection which consists of Chronoswiss Lunar, JLC Reverso, and ... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? No mention of BAT 75SE/150SE from anyone?I have owned nearly 20 amps, BAT is the one that stopped me from upgrading even though I still buy interesting gears to try sometimes and always end up selling others.I did not count, but notice KFL has mor... | |
| Dynaudio Confidence 5 vs Harbeth As unpleasant as it sounds, toetapfactor is right about fitting any quality speakers in a square room.C5 works well close to the back wall, you might want to play with speaker placement more or go as far out as having them firing diagonally. If no... | |
| ProAc D28 vs Usher Dancer Mini 2 I had a business trip to Taiwan so visited the Usher flagship store in Taipei while I was there. I had one of the very first pair of Usher BE-718 way before it was discovered by the rest of the world, I enjoyed them for nearly 2 years before I sol... |
