Is this still available?

Let us know how it goes if you do that. I have been considering that too. Or if I really get crazy, moving my C18 above the screen and adding a C43A.

Have you consider a fiber optic HDMI cable? I have read that some people had luck with those and ground loops.

Maybe I’m strange, but I ran ARC at 1 hour, ~75 hours and about 200 hours. Not huge differences.

It is not the power rating, but the gain of the amplifier that matters. PS Audio makes amps with power ratings into 8 ohms from 140 watts to 700 watts per channel some class AB; some class D, but all have 30.5 dB of gain. So you could pair any two of those without issue. On the other hand you...

I might be interested. Do you have a listing of what’s in the collection? You could DM me. My wife wouldn’t be happy. I’d have to rip them and immediately send the discs to storage.

Every one is different. My wife prefers the look and sound of my Carver ALS over my 11As.

I tried a 3 meter Pangea Audio AC-9 MkII. I bought it because it gave me more flexibility in sub placement. Outlets in my room are scarce except for the three dedicated circuits behind where most of my equipment is. I didn’t notice any difference until I moved the sub. So I think it was...

I look forward to whatever you can tell us about the Trinnov Altitude 16 once you get it. I have been considering replacing my Marantz AV7704 with the Trinnov. My 2 channel pre-amp is the Pass XP-32.

What amp do you use with the 20.7s? When I single-amped the 20.1s, I had a Pass X-600, not .1, .5 or .8 but the original. I know it wasn't a shortage of power, maybe it was having had the crossovers in storage for 8 years.

I had Aeon i . I sold them and bought Maggie 20.1s. I actively bi-amped the Maggies and they were awesome. My woofer amp died. And ARC said it was unrepairable. I didn't want to spend another 10K on an amp. So I went to a single amp setup. The magic was gone. So I sold the Maggies and bought...

Yeah, in stock just means available to order to Kitsune HiFi, not the way most of us think of in stock.

Yes. The Holo Audio DACs are smooth. The closest to analog without losing detail that I have heard.

I recently upgraded from the Holo Audio Spring V2 Level 3 KTE to the May Level 3 KTE. To my ear, the improvement is real but not huge. You might consider the Spring V3.

I love my KTE May as well. It replaced a KTE Spring V2. The improvement is real. But do not use the on-board upsampling, it makes things worse.
