| Considering Gryphon Diablo 300 "OR" Simaudio 700iv2 ??? Really p59teitel, Do you drive 10 different sports cars on 10 different days over a two week period on different roads, times of days and make a conclusion.Or Do you get all ten cars, drive them one lap at the track on the same day under the same ... | |
| Considering Gryphon Diablo 300 "OR" Simaudio 700iv2 ??? Huberto wow that is a fascinating non factual statment: Before I decided to buy Diablo 300 I audutioned and directly or indirectly (different rooms) compared with it the following amplifiers: You can’t judge indirectly the sound of one amplifier i... | |
| Light weight speaker cables If you like the sound of your system just rig some kind of velco stap or wire tie to support the cable.No need to change, we have used wire ties and velco straps to support heavy cables for years, works wonders and costs next to nothing.Dave and T... | |
| System Upgrade OP please try to borrow a few sets of interconnects and some speaker cables and just change those first and see what you think.Another question are you using stock power cables and do you have a power conditioner. Power cables make a very large di... | |
| System synergies: Chaotic or predictable? Yes Mike but other times not the case. Many years ago at SBS the combination of a Cat preamplifier plus a Vac amplifier was the amazing pairing. The CAT amplifiers altough they were expensive didn’t have the drive that the VAC amplifiers did and t... | |
| System synergies: Chaotic or predictable? Sorry Millercarbon but totally disagree with you on if it is good here it will be good elsewhere.On one demo we compared AQ cables from the Fire, Wind, Water series vs the comparable models from Wireworld, Platinum, Gold and Silver Eclipse, and th... | |
| Just listened to Focal Sopra 2 on Devialet 130Pro Mrdecibel, we know what you speak of. We used to sell the Devialet and the gear was always impressive but in the long run felt that the sound was always lacking a degree of musicality that would draw you in.We got rid of the Devialet and found the... | |
| What amp is best with Wilson Sasha DAW speakers Carey, the T+A gear we recommend is warm and very musical yet has outstanding resolution and dynamics.If you research the company you will see the HV concept, this is emmulating the sound of tubes by running the rail voltages to much greater than ... | |
| System Upgrade Ahofer cables and amps are incredible tone controls, so is adding spices to foods, adding more or unusual ingredients to a well known dish to alter the flavor to taste.Came up with the Coffe Drinkers School of Audiology many years ago.Take a great... | |
| Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2 Smodtactical You shouldn't worry at all about Beryillium cracking, exploding or anything like that. The only danger is in dealing with Beryillium is in the manufacturing stage. We have changed out the midrange driver and it is totally safe, Beryil... | |
| beryllium vs diamond Okay have to laugh at this one never heard a Beryillium midrange sound opaque.It depends on the rep, over the years we have worked with many factory reps that were clueless. What was the gear running the 7F? | |
| System Upgrade Ahofer, we have ATC SCM 19MK II an 85db efficient loudspeaker, we play them very well with an Naim Uniti Atom a 40 watt amplifer. The Naim is punchy and warm so it adds life to the ATC which tend to sound clean and the Naim’s amplifier stage creat... | |
| System Upgrade No its not just power if you follow that for these speakers you should be able to get86db 1w 1m89db 2w 92db 4w95db 8w98db 16w101db 32w You might start to soft clip but unless you are not able to get a decent volume level the issue is not pow... | |
| Under $3K streaming dac suggestions, Roon Ready? Firststone guy, we think you are defending us, so if you are thank you.As mentioned previously we have 13 and one time 15 out of the recommended dac streamers on Audiostreams list which does give us a pretty good idea on the sound of many componen... |
