    Best amplification for Wilson Audio Sascha DAW

    If you are enjoying what you are presently using, why not just keep doing so. Everyone will have an opinion but it’s your system, nobody else’s.

    SHINDO NO MORE

    ARC Ref 80 might be a suitable alternative. I play music quietly as well, but the dynamics and sudden deep bass notes can surprise me especially if I’m reading. Best of luck with your search.

    Exit Plan

    Being married to a Philippina and owning a house there will be our eventual retirement. They have a different philosophy than here in the Uk where the family look after the older generation which affords a significant assurance should we be unable to fully fend for ourselves in the future.

    New(ish) Sasha DAWs arriving in April

    I’ve installed some room treatment and the ambient levels are very low. Soundstage width extends well beyond the speaker boundaries even at low volume levels. as the post above, they are a relatively easy and efficient speaker and have never experienced any issues with a “punishing load”.

    New(ish) Sasha DAWs arriving in April

    I use audio research mono blocks and have generally always found them to be a good match having previously had system 7 and 8, then Sasha 2 until my present DAW’s. Sorry, but have no experience of the amps you are discussing, but good luck with the new speakers.

    Hi Andrew, I’ve tried searching for you as well, including you tube..regrettably without success. it may be time to purchase a new one unfortunately, you may even be able to borrow one for a short time if not in regular use?

    Cartridgeman Stylusforce Gauge DFG420

    Have you tried an online search for this or similar? I used to have the same gauge but it “disappeared” a long time ago.

    Esoteric vs Accuphase CD Players

    I’ve owned Accuphase dp-70v, dp-85 and lastly 900/901 combination. Whilst working overseas and my ex-wife selling the latter, I started with an esoteric k01 and have a k-01xd with rubidium clock. Both are excellent manufacturers, but wish Accuphase would make silver facias!Never had an issue...

    Are you an audiophile or a music lover?

    I have my system to play music on. I attend concerts and/or festivals as and when practical to do so. I will play vinyl records, CD/SACD’s and even downloads from my iPad whilst at work. No real desire to pigeonhole myself in any way.

    Electronic music: A great way to test your system, work out, file taxes and more ?!

    Vangelis is just the tip of the iceberg. Im familiar with literally hundreds of artists in either this, derived or more traditional Berlin style and would be welcome to share any if of interest.
