| OMG!!! Hegel H120 & 190 Finally Roon Ready Love my Roon + Tidal setup. Glad you can finally enjoy! | |
| Anything SS sounds better than D'Agostino ? My iPhone amp paired with my YouTube pre-amp is the best combo / sound I’ve ever heard! So glad I found this thread. | |
| Sonus Faber speakers I have the MA8900 amp and the Olympica Nova Vs. I just had them delivered 3 weeks ago, and speakers are still breaking in. That said, the amp and speakers pair really well. | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer I love the guys trashing McIntosh who emphatically claim “it’s not as good as <insert brand they own here>” like it’s a statement of fact. Taste is a very personal thing - we’re all entitled to our opinions, but that’s all it is…an opinion. | |

| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer Lexus has lost a few steps over the past several years. Audio, styling, etc., could all use a major update. | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer Sitting here listening to my new MA8900 paired with a Roon Nucleus and Sonus Faber Olympica Nova V speaker setup. Fantastic combo. Oh, and for the haters, I’ll put my Rolex Explorer II I’ve owned for 20+ years and traveled all over the world with ... | |
| Thoughts and Advice regarding Sonus Faber speakers They’re good speakers and worthy of anchoring a hi-fi setup, in my opinion. I have the Olympica Nova 5s on order (ordered last Oct, will arrive in Mar) and listened to the Sonetto’s as well. I can’t speak to the Thiel comparison, but SF is a qua... | |
| "warm" solid state integrated amplifier I'd recommend the McIntosh MA8900 integrated amp. | |
| Magico A5 or Sonus faber SERAFINO TRADITION or Harbeth 40.3 XD I have Mac and Sonus - match made in heaven. |
