    Re: Soulution 330 integrated

    A "sound signature" is what sounds correct to the designer of the amp. If that wasn't the case all amplifiers would sound the same and measure the same so Amir would love them all.
  2. Re: New GIK Acoustics SlatFusor acoustical panels: great value

    Yes the Impression panels are also good. I've still got 4 of the 2'x2' Impression panels and 2 of the 2'x4' panels to hang on the back walls over the LP Bins and storage cabinet for the RCM and...
  3. Re: New GIK Acoustics SlatFusor acoustical panels: great value

    I like them, they seem to be doing a good job. I've got a pair behind the speakers and at the first and second reflection points. Alpha panels are behind the rack. They all went in a new dedicated...

    Re: Better cd SQ

    Since you seem to be comfortable with tubes take a look at the new Musical Paradise model. When selecting option leave out the Raspberry Pi streaming module but add the USB input and the upgraded...

    Re: Handling Heavy Amps

    An amp you might want to take a look at weighing in at only 17lbs each with rave reviews from Audiophilia, Part Time Audiophile and TAS. Frank builds solid good sounding amps at reasonable prices. ...

    Re: Problem With App on New iPhone 15

    One way to likely fix it if your comfortable with it is to turn of the U2 completely not just standby. Go into your router settings and delete the Lumin entry. Then power down both phones and the...

    Re: Bladelius ASK Integrated amplifier

    If that's your current thinking then just get one of the cheap but well reviewed Wiim devices starting at $100 from Amazon and bypass the streamer function of the Bladelius. If you go in another...

    If the AKS sounds better to you then why don't you just buy a "reasonable" streamer like a U2 Mini or Aries G1.1 then sell off the Esoteric gear and replenish the coffers. Even something...

    Re: LUMIN app on iOS problem

    As the SoTM is not specifically a Lumin supported device like those from Teac or Esoteric what features of the Lumin App that work or don't are going to be hit or miss. If you don't want to use...

    Re: Bladelius ASK Integrated amplifier

    Instead of waiting around to see what Esoteric is or isn't going to do with Lumin's streaming technology in the future why not just buy a U2 now and be done.

    That's been my experience with several combinations of that type. It's not always the case but more often than not. Tried a fully balanced W4S STP-SE into a Kismet a while back and had to lift the...

    Charles

    Did you try a cheater plug on either the amps or the preamp to see if that would stop the buzz? This is not a really uncommon problem with using a balanced preamp and a SE amp. Not an...

    Re: Measurement FEVER

    Split the vinyl collection in half and put on each long wall at the rear away from the speakers. Set up the system and see how it sounds before doing any demolition to gain a few inches.

    If you get the chance to "borrow" or pick up a used La Voce S3 it might be worth a comparison.

    Aqua La Voce S3 at $4650 or if you're willing to go up a bit on your limit the La Scala. All the boards in the La Voce S3 are modular and user replaceable if an upgrade becomes available.
