Achim, is the Audiolabor Brilliant also worth considering? https://www.springair.de/de/audiolabor-brilliant-pre/h73704 https://www.springair.de/de/audiolabor-brilliant-pre-silbern/h74494 & Here's a left-field option: https://www.springair.de/de/marantz-sc-6-esotec/h75261

Small caps like those are generally pretty cheap. (Can you share the cap specs with us?) The labour will be more expensive than the parts. Imho best to replace them first, ensure everything is working 100% before selling. (Maybe have your tech check whether the rest of the caps are okay.) But...

Used to believe: Balanced XLR is better than single-ended RCA. More is better. (Watts, current, weight, thickness of aluminium panels, etc.) American = Superior. Still/Now believe: Maggies have no bass. European & Japanese is better. Audio-GD DACs are a fire hazard. Soft dome tweeters are just...

Hello. I think the point has been made that if you're considering a speaker upgrade, it might be worthwhile to reconsider your amplification as well, for the purposes of stereo reproduction anyway. Imho the right questions to ask are: What is the right amp to drive your preferred speakers? Do...

Scott, when is the last day on which we can put in orders this year? (For 2023 delivery, not to try and make it for Xmas.)

2nd hand ProAc Tablette 50 is worth looking for. Probably about R4K-R5K.

Naim Muso.

For anyone with this amplifier, this is your last chance to upgrade to the latest spec. (Mk. III, I think). https://www.monoandstereo.com/2022/11/lyngdorf-millenium-mk-iii-upgrade.html?m=1

🍻 No need to apologise. My tone was also a bit off. I'm curious to see how Class D evolves. From Purifi, to GanFET, etc. etc,

Sigh. I'm not criticising Class D. The amp and the era this product pays homage to is from the world of transistors and Class AB. They should have stayed true to that imho. At least when NAD released a Class D 3020 (D3020) in 2013 it looked completely different to the original so you knew...

Would have been better if they used Class AB instead of D. 2c.

Ultimately all banks will be digital-only. Maybe a little ways off, but not far. So imho choose the bank with the best App, website, etc. (I don't know which bank this is.)

I bought a pair of these for work purposes. (Replacing my old, tatty AKG Y50 on-ears.) For R2K the build quality is decent - a mix of plastic and metal. They are very comfy - a lot more comfortable than my old Y50s. (Although not quite as comfy as AKG K712s or Audioquest NightHawks - both more...

I can see how the fact that Mr. Pass assembled these by hand adds considerably to their value. Hence the reluctance to unceremoniously lift up their skirts and replace components left, right and centre. That said, if you consult the creator about the service you wish to perform and put it in the...

Guys please just don't bl$ksem each other on the day. After all, this is entertainment, not dialysis. (as per Joe Sammut and/or Nelson Pass)

Andre those 300B amps look like the business. The Lundahl OPTs are something special. Tubephonic built an EL84 amp for me with Lundahls. (parallel single-ended)

Exactly. Plus it's another R3700/R4000 to spend. (And another HDMI port occupied.)

I had buffering and also freezing issues on my 48" C1 up until about 2-3 days ago. This seems to be better now, I managed a whole movie without issues yesterday (a first). Since neither the TV nor App software was updated recently (I haven't enabled any auto-updates), I can only speculate that...

I have listened to some nice French Thomson/CSF 12AU7's, I believe made on Philips tooling. On the French subject, the RadioTechnique valves are also supposed to be good.
