| Any Moonriver 404 users out there? Yes I matched it with Harbeth 30.1 and SHL5+ | |
| Any Moonriver 404 users out there? As someone who’s owned class A and D, I disagree. Class A still has its place. | |
| Any Moonriver 404 users out there? @gano i owned it for one month. This was one of the most underwhelming and disappointing experiences. Not only did it sound below average, it looked downmarket. I say move on. Not worth the price. | |
| New preamplifier - Backert Rhumba Extreme, Aesthetix Calypso Signature, Ayre KX5 Twenty So are we using these forums for dealer advertisements? | |
| Do most people prefer tight bass or non tight bass? +1 @mulveling Over the years, I’ve come to learn and appreciate the difference between articulate bass, bass bloom, and ‘bass slam’. Bass bloom, which is what you get with many low to mid priced tube amps can sound pleasant at first, but it also... | |
| Integrated Amp Pairing for Harbeth 30.2 I had the same experience when I demoed Hegel 390 with Harbeth 30.1. It took in a dark tone and was over damped, at least for my taste. The best pairing was with Audio Hungary Qualiton a50i. It added that extra bit of airiness at the top that some... | |
| speaker upgrade from Magico A3 Another vote for Rockports. | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure I really appreciate the detailed responses and the video link to my initial query. There's no doubt that this is a very good speaker, however, doesn't seem to be a good fit for my amps. Based on what I'm reading, it will most likely result in over... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure I've been researching the Nenuphar Mini's for a few weeks. Given that there's no way for me to audition them, I have been mainly gathering data from youtube videos and forums like this. Frankly, the more I read, the more confused I get :) Some pe... | |
| Have you been enjoying your Gryphon Diablo 120 integrated ? It depends on what you mean by dynamics. Both have excellent dynamics IMO but the Gryphon has ‘more’ bass control for sure. However, it also contributes to a slightly darker character that I didnt care for. Vitus, on the other hand, doesn’t have ... | |
| Have you been enjoying your Gryphon Diablo 120 integrated ? Keep in mind that SS101 was Hans Vitus’ original designs with few compromises. Another advantage of SS-101 is that it can be used as an integrated amp due to a built in volume control, or you can use a dedicated preamp with it. I have no doubt th... | |
| Have you been enjoying your Gryphon Diablo 120 integrated ? @ryder I compared the Diablo 300 and a Vitus SS-101, both used. For my taste, Vitus was a winner. It’s not as muscular sounding as the Gryphon, but it had a refinement and sweetness in class A mode that I found appealing. Again, one is not better... | |
| Unitiqute 2 failing - what to do I had the same experience with Naim. Their product failed within 3 years. Sad part is they didn’t even bother to return my emails or offered any kind of advice. I don’t recommend Naim to anyone. They were yesterdays news running on past - 20 year ... | |
