    I have not been a fan of WP but the DAW is a very different story. I wonder if the Alexia 1 follows the same tonality.

    Wilson Alexia 1, DAW or Yvette

    I heard them recently. I was very impressed by the image they project, in this sense it is the best I have ever heard. but they are speakers that need a subwoofer, which I listened to with the 212. a very precise system but the medium garves and bass did not quite like me.

    Wilson Alexia 1, DAW or Yvette

    Hello, I have been looking to change my current speakers for 2 years and I have listened to many different models and what I liked the most was a Kharma dB9 and a Wilson Sasha DAW. The tonality of the Kharma is incredibly natural and I like it a lot but I find it to be a very recessed and...

    This weekend I received an Amber 3 Lampizator with a built-in preamp to test. The dealer also left me an Innuos Zen mini (without PSU) as a streamer as I had no other way to broadcast as the Bartok has no digital outputs. Also added a nice usb cable. When I heard this combo on my system, I felt...

    I appreciate your input. It's funny because today I ordered an Amber 3 for a week-long evaluation. I guess I'll get it on Friday. I will update my impressions.

    Ref6 tube rolling

    very interesting thread. Has anyone tried to change the 6h30 for the 6n6p in a ref150se amplifier? would there be any change in the sound?

    Audio Research Ref150 SE

    thanks for your reply. I just spoke with AR and he told me that I can replace only that tube, as long as it matches the grade, which is written on the base. in this case 363 130.

    I have made the changes you have suggested and the problem persists. The reading is 50mV.

    Audio Research Ref150 SE

    I will try to change the valves as recommended and I will report the result. If only the V8 valve fails, do I have to change all 4 of the same channel? Can you recommend a reliable internet shop in Europe that serve paired valves? it is not necessary to go through the official technical service?

    Audio Research Ref150 SE

    Hello, I recently bought a used Audio Research Ref150 SE with a usage of 2100h. I must say that I am delighted with this amp, it has explosive dynamics, incredible punch, and first-class vibrancy and realism. As I am new to the world of tubes and AR, I have some doubts. When I bought the amp I...

    I appreciate your recommendation, it is interesting. the only problem is that Tambaqui uses Roon and I don't like the sound of Roon. I would have to add a streamer.

    That is what I wanted to hear, if by listening to the Amber 3 I can get an idea of the differences in topologies between these two brands, taking into account that it is the entry level.

    Hello Paul, interesting appreciation. I am lucky that the MSB distributor is also from T + A. When I had the Chord TT2 I tried it with the MScaler and I didn't like it. I'm not sure but I think upsampling is not for me and it could be one of the things I have left over from the Bartok. Does the...

    Holo It has very good impressions but I find it difficult to buy a dac without listening, especially having a dCS. It could be a misstep.

    I think we are getting drunk with the vocabulary ... dCS can be many things but not boring, it is the most exciting dac I have ever heard. Nor would I call it sterile. Previously had a Chord TT2 and the Bartok had a lot more meat on the bones, is fuller and sounds more natural.

    Thanks for your recommendation, it is the other option that I am considering, a Ref5SE or a Ref6. The problem is that there is no money for everything. You have an incredible stereo!

    Klipsch Cornwall III, Audio Research REF150SE. Right now I am in the process of changing the speakers, which I suppose will be a Harbeth 40.3. But it is yet to be confirmed.

    ¿Puedes desarrollar más el sonido MSB? Estoy interesado.

    Buen punto. Quizás "orgánico" no sería la mejor palabra. Sería musical. El Bartok tiene una dinámica increíble que me gusta mucho, pero tal vez sea demasiado detallado.

    Gracias por tu respuesta, no había contemplado el X1. Según he leído, es más relajado que el Bartok.

    Hello, I am new to this forum and English is not my mother tongue, so please excuse me if I do not express myself clearly enough. I currently have a Bartok dCS. I am very happy with this Steramer / dac because it is amazing but lately my tastes are "mutating" towards a warmer, denser and more...
