Any others heard Ref3? I just took demo of one. Will have lots of time to observe this weeknd. Have owned a Ref1 with MQA for some time. Initial impression is quite positive. More texture, more...

Hi all,

I am hoping maybe others here can point me in the right direction with some suggestions.

I have a setup at home that I am very happy with overall. AG Uno XD with VAC Master preamp,...

If anyone wants a Signature SE for a steal, let me know. I am dying to move up higher in the VAC chain.

I auditioned a slew of preamps a couple years ago, and once I heard VAC I knew it was for...

I’d pay a hefty sum to eat a meal there! And I’d bring a bottle of 1982 Bordeaux from the cellar!

Holy cow what a setup. Wow!!!

I personally think the magic with AG’s happens with tubes. I heard big solid state power (my Hegel H30) and lower SS power (a Pass amp) and I think you miss so much potential without tubes here.

...

Totally agree. I’d love to try more low watt options like these with my AG’s.

You’re a man possessed right now, Joe! Good for you.

This.

Precisely this. Couldn’t agree more.

I love Kubala Sosna power cables (Realization) and interconnects throughout. Yes, it seems we all have different preferences with cables. I had a clear preference after trying out a bunch. It...

I simply do not understand the fascination with AG and solid state. Have heard them a few times with SS and these speakers are made for tubes.

Someone take my Uno XD’s off my hands so I can get...

Yes, that is how I felt. Heard them at Mike’s and it took me a year or 2 to make it happen. And some pain along the way in switching paths.

Now I only worry about maximizing this path. I...

Joe, you inspired me to rip to my server just now the new Dave’s Picks Grateful Dead release. CD’s came in mail this week. Glorious 1976 Capitol Theatre release.

Love my whole setup. Curious...

When you move up to Trios, I will happily take your Duos off your hands...

Yes, I want to know your adventures with Amps here. Please let us know.

I think you’ll find that your connection to the music will be stronger than ever. That’s my bottom line.

Wow, so happy to see this.

Totally agree that you need a sweet tube amp with these. Match made in heaven.

Had mine for a year and every time I power up I want to just keep listening for...

Will you soundproof my basement in the process?

I love them. Really really good. My favorite match so far of the bunch I have tried.

What a mistake. AG’s are shouty, harsh, bass integration is a hot mess... and they are impossible to drive.

But to each his own.

Whatever the ARC is that Mike has on his UNOs at his shop is tremendous.

i can’t say for sure that I prefer it to the sweetness of the 300b midrange on these. But my. Amazing match. Really made...

Thought I’d post an update. While I listen to C’est La Vie, new album by Phosphorescent. Lush, layered 3D sound pours out.

These speakers changed my enjoyment of music at home. I freakin’ love...

After trying a few different 300B tubes for my Triode TRX-M300 amps, I have settled on Takatsuki. They only have 10 hours on them but they are already superb: very dynamic, outstanding bass, just...

I have effectively been out of business for the past month+. Had a perfectly working system until those Elrog 300B's entered the mix. They did something to my amp. I thought it was as simple as a...

It was a blown fuse. I’m back in business!

Phew. I realize how attached I am to the greatest toys I have ever owned when I am forced to consider being without them for an extended period.

...

I will chalk this one up as a learning experience. Hopefully it’s just a fuse.

I just want to get the music back as soon as possible!
