| Torus vs AudioQuest Niagara I have the Wilson Sasha DAW for sale shown on the top of this page, I use the Bryston BIT 20 (same as the Torus) in that system for my DCS and D’Agostino gear (save for the amp) and love it. I have had so many Shunyata units in the past, sometimes... | |
| Focal Sopra 2 Vs Wilson Sophia 3 Stereophile just reviewed the Sopra 3 to less than stellar results compared to all the "2" reviews. Issues with depth in a smaller room. I am currently using B&W 802 D3's but am going to sell them for a lighter (meaning actual weight) speaker,... | |
| Simaudio 870a over Krell 402e? Hi guys, I can't give you specs on the preamp, but I can tell you that I almost felt "cheated" for not having this level of sound for my "Krell Evolution" years. Simaudio is on the incline...recently purchased by the trio of "brains" that ran the ... | |
| Simaudio 870a over Krell 402e? Hey Zd...I'll give you a quick history to let you know where I'm coming from. I had a Krell 525a, 222, and 402e. Right after I purchased the 525a...despite Krell's words to the contrary, they released the Cipher. After an audition I sold the 525a ... | |
| Simaudio 870a over Krell 402e? Thanks guys, the Krell was outperformed by the Sim CD and Pre, I haven't been able to audition the Sim 870a amp to see how it compares to my 402e. I am curious, as the Sim outperformed the Krell with the other two units...by a wide margin! Can't h... | |
| Krell Cipher Issues? Well, number three arrived...and it refused to read the very first disc I put in. In fairness it did read the second through 4th...but quit for good on number 5!!! I have had enough, I presume I will get a refund without too much trouble. | |
| Krell Cipher Issues? The issue is the same as the Stereophile reviewer experienced...will not read a large portion of discs. The second unit also likes to just mute itself at any given time. If I see that "No Disc" message after loading another disc this darn thing is... | |
| Focal Electra 1038Be Quality Control Issues? The dealer initially sent a tech man down to investigate with instruction from Focal. He found that on each speaker there were two stripped screws that hold the side panel to the main cabinet. When certain vocals are played such as Gail Pettis...i... | |
| Duntech Black Knights to Martin Logan Summit X I have owned Summit X's for over two years...they replaced my Revel Ultima Studio 2's...which replaced my B&W 802d's. I listen to mainly early 70's rock and current jazz. Those who tell you these are not good rock n roll speakers have never li... | |
| Shunyata or Transparent Power cables My Transparent dealer ordered me a whole box of Transparent cables for my Krell, Logan system. I had virtually every cable they make at my disposal for over a week! I do use Transparent Reference MM2's for speaker cables. What was my verdict? I en... | |
| KRELL CAST MMF CABLES/CONNECTIONS I just received a pair of Cast MMF cables today, which I installed between my 525a CD and my 222 preamp! I have been using Transparent Ultra Balanced. I simply cannot believe the difference!!! I have a 402e that will be receiving a pair between it... | |
| Krell or Mark Levinson with Revel Ultima2's??? I just did the Evo 402e for my Studio 2's, replacing a No432. It's in a different league, sorry ML guys...money does buy perfection. DEEEEP bass, open and airy, and so quiet in the background, it's almost eery!! |
