| Integrated amp suggestion for Sonus Faber Olympica 2 @mesch Sorry I got really busy last week and couldn't visit Jim. Will probably setup an appointment later this week or next. I'll definitely share my experience, although it's kinda hard to determine how they would sound with my speakers, in my room. | |
| Speaker cables for Sonus Faber Olympica II @milpai Thanks for sharing. As much as I like Clear Days for the open, lively sound, I feel that at times it gets a bit too hot on the top. I hope Audio Envy is different in that respect. | |
| Audio envy - dang! @lalitk I recently purchased a used pair of Sonus Faber Olympica II and have looking for new speaker cables. I was considering AE speaker cables but wasn’t sure how they compare to more expensive ones. I looked at your system (wow!!!) and it’s qui... | |
| Speaker cables for Sonus Faber Olympica II @soix I hear you man. I've already splurged more than what I had planned to this year, so yeah I was being cheap :)Originally, I was thinking of temporarily using longer cables as a stopgap measure and then buy more expensive ones later on. But th... | |
| Speaker cables for Sonus Faber Olympica II Thanks @milpai ... I recently purchased an AE power cord for my DAC and am very pleased. Their speaker cable was in fact the first one that came to mind, but wanted to see if there are other alternatives. Do you mind telling us what sonic attribut... | |
| Cables for Audio Mirror Tubadour III @snopro Thanks for the recommendation. I'm really enjoying the tubadour and do plan to upgrade to SE in a few months.Appreciate your recommendation for Triod Wire PC but I already purchased the Audio Envy 2P and it made a noticeable improvement. | |
| Integrated amp suggestion for Sonus Faber Olympica 2 I'm really hoping that someone who owns the Olympica 2's will chime in at some point.@millercarbon I called Raven Audio a couple of days ago to inquire about the Blackhawk amp. Incidentally, Jim lives 15 miles from my house and graciously offered ... | |
| Integrated amp suggestion for Sonus Faber Olympica 2 @mrklas ... thank you for the suggestion. I'm definitely going to look into it. Your comparison with Sonnetto V is valid, but from what I understand, the Olympica's tend to dip to around 2ohms much more frequently than the Sonetto's, and that's wh... | |
| Integrated amp suggestion for Sonus Faber Olympica 2 So I think some clarification is in order here ...Before I bought the SF O2’s, I auditioned quite a number of speakers, including high efficiency ones like Klipsch Forte III, Devore O/96, Proac D48R, etc. I also auditioned Harbeth SHL5+, PMC (forg... | |
| Cables for Audio Mirror Tubadour III @jayctoy I'm using the P2 with my DAC | |
| Versatile, non-fatiguing speakers for a small room under $1500 used or new: advice needed! I bought a two-year old P3esr (non-anniversary) for $1300 a couple of years ago, so I think $1500 budget is doable. I agree that they are not that difficult to drive, but they are a good investment in the sense that they scale with better equipmen... | |
| Devore Fidelity Orangutan O/96 So after a lot of hemming and hawing, I finally decided to pull the trigger on a used pair of Sonus Faber Olympica II. I compared the Olympica Nova II with the old ones, although not in the same location, and honestly couldn't tell much of a diffe... | |
| Cables for Audio Mirror Tubadour III @mesch You can also email them. They were pretty quick to reply. | |
| Thinking about getting a R2R DAC I had similar issues with my Audio Mirror Tubadour III and started bitching about it too soon. After about 50 hours or so, the change in sound was so dramatic that it could have won an oscar. Hang in there! | |
| Cables for Audio Mirror Tubadour III @pastorbob is always right :)I ordered the AE power cord 2P and have been playing it since yesterday. Wow, what a difference! It's like everything opened up a bit further. More details even at whisper low volumes, guitars have more bite, piano has... |
