    At Last! My new baby has been delivered?

    Congratulations Peter. Can’t wait for more break in and an update. I love the all in one package of this piece. My most important concern for me would be treble performance. Smooth and sweet is my goal - at least not aggressive.

    KeithR's "Dream Speaker" Search

    I totally agree. My first question to Keith when he bought them was “what amps were on the speakers when you fell in love with them?” I’ve made similar mistakes and I think we almost all have along the way. Keith, I didn’t mean my above response to sound snarky. I apologize if that’s how you...

    Keith, I have never been as happy with a set of speakers as I am with my Avantgarde Duo XD. Absolutely wonderful speakers.

    Tube amps with TAD CR-1's ? Recommendations ?

    Hi Lloyd, Yes it’s been a while. I have Avantgarde Duo XD now and a variety of amps. I’m ecstatic with these speakers. Absolutely wonderful.

    Tube amps with TAD CR-1's ? Recommendations ?

    I’m sure the Doshi are wonderful. I tried just about everything (and I mean everything) on my CR-1 but had to move on after about 2 years. Everything was great in its own way, but I could not shake the forwardness of the treble of my TADs. It was just too in my face for me and seemed a couple of...

    Question for PeterA - Any plans to move to Pass point 8 amps in the future?

    Just curious if you've thought about replacing your XA160.5 amps with any Pass Labs point 8 amps? Thank you!

    Recommend me a SS pre.....

    I’m using the C900u with D’Agostino M400 monos and love the combo. They complement each other very well.

    Great news caeser, thank you for your post.

    Auditioning a Luxman D-08U

    If I remember correctly, the D-06u gets very high praise as well. Good luck. I don’t know what the differences are between the u and non u versions. I’ll try and find out.

    Auditioning a Luxman D-08U

    I’m sure it’s still a good unit but certainly not current. I’m glad we could straighten this out.

    Auditioning a Luxman D-08U

    The Luxman should be great. Are you sure it’s the D-08u and not the regular D-08? https://www.musicdirect.com/disc-player/Luxman-D-08-SACDCD-Player

    Luxman D-08u CD/SACD player & DAC at AXPONA

    +1, the C900u preamp is wonderful. I’d love to hear the M900u amp and D-08u sacd/dac as well.

    Recommend me a SS pre.....

    Several years ago, 2 friends and I went to hear Rockport speakers with Hegel and Constellation gear. The Constellation amp did not sound right on the speakers while the Hegel was wonderful. I have to say that the Constellation preamp on the Hegel H30 was a glorious combination. The Hegel P30...

    Reno Hi-Fi took all prices on Pass products off their website?????

    I think for the most part, Reno has the upper hand. I don’t believe Acoustic Sounds or others have much of a chance but I suspect things are slowly changing. I believe Mark does have great product knowledge being that’s his only line. He can offer a guide but only trying an actual piece in your...
