| Shindo Aurieges L versus Monbrisson I owned an Aurieges L for about a year before I upgraded to the Masseto. I auditioned both the Monbrisson and the Masseto before choosing the Masseto. The Monbrisson was significantly better (to my ears) than the Aurieges, and the Masseto was sign... | |
| SF Cremona Auditor M as good as Guarneri Memento? I have owned both in the same room and system. The Auditor M's were terrific, but the Memento's are in another league entirely. I could never go back to the Auditor M's now. The Memento's are just so much better. | |
| athem p2 used or anthem a2 new I chose the A5 over the P5 because the system was only at the time for a home theater. The A5 is a great value for home theater. I since hybridized the home theater so that I can also use it as a complete two-channel system. Although the A5 acquit... | |
| shindo pre-amp and power amp reliabilty Nmgrant1 - Not in my experience. Before I upgraded to the Leben RS-28CX, I had an Aurieges teamed with an Accuphase P-3000 for about one year and that combo was sublime. (The Leben is even better, but I believe that has more to do with the Leben b... | |
| shindo pre-amp and power amp reliabilty Completely agree with Dbarger's comments. I too have made the transition from ARC to Shindo (Masseto) and Leben for the preamps in my primary systems. | |
| Leben 600 with Omega Super 6 or Super 8 The above discussion is of tremendous value to all. Although I agree with Tvad that choosing speakers first is best when possible, the simple fact is, the OP already has one hell of an amp in the Leben 600, and will have many excellent, conmpatibl... | |
| Leben 600 with Omega Super 6 or Super 8 Besides the Omegas, I have DeVore Silverbacks, Sonus Faber Guarneri Mementos, and Verity Fidelio Encores and Taminos. Also Alon Petite's and Rega R1's in minor systems.The Omegas throw an excellent holographic soundstage in my system. A solid 9 ou... | |
| Leben 600 with Omega Super 6 or Super 8 I have owned the Omega Super 8 Alnico XRS for a few months now. They are powered by a Bedini 25/25 and easily fill the room they are in, which is approximately 12' x 18'.I was curious how they would sound in my main listening room, which is 14' x ... | |
| Anybody own any direct-to-disc LP's? I own at least 20 D2D LP's. They are all superb, even on a modest vinyl-based system. And the better the system - Wow! | |
| Opinions on Yamaha CT 7000 Tuner The CT 7000 is certainly a great tuner. One of the best I have heard. I own one. I also own a Kenwood L-01T (my favorite), a Marantz 2130, a Uher EG 750, an Accuphase T-106, and a Myryad MT 100. In terms of overall musicality, the Kenwood is the c... | |
| Devore Gibbon 3XLs: anyone have these? Thanks, Bongofury. | |
| Devore Gibbon 3XLs: anyone have these? Bongfury - Like you, I have also heard the Finns, but never the Finns and 3XLs in a head to head comparison. Aside from the obviously deeper bass with the Finns, would you care to comment on the similarities and differences between the two speaker... | |
| Devore Gibbon 3XLs: anyone have these? Matro5 - My pleasure. I love talking about John's speakers. Every time I have heard the 3XLs they were on the matching stands. IMHO the stands make these gorgeous looking speakers look even better. Almost as if an interior designer was involved wi... | |
| Cartridge for WTL Amadeus? I am using the Dynavector XX2 MKII with my Amadeus and it continues to be a superbly musical combination. | |
| suggestions on small footprint phono stages 2nd the Nagra BPS, which I owned and loved until the upgrade bug struck, but I found I had to spend a lot more to get significantly better performance. There is a used one available on Agon if memory serves. (And no, I am not the seller!) |
