Avalon Eidolon Diamond vs Revel Salon 2
The material Monitor Audio uses is lighter. And they also use a bigger magnet compared to Avalon. What Monitor Audio and Avalon have in common s that they both have a wide and deep stage. But the individual focus of instruments and voices inside t... 
Avalon Eidolon Diamond vs Revel Salon 2
The limitation of the Avalon is the respons of the low freq units. I use Monitor Audio Pl-200 with a PLW-15 sub.Respons in the low freq. are faster. This gives you a lot more layers in the low freq compared to Avalon. We also did a comparison with... 
Avalon Eidolon Diamond vs Revel Salon 2
I have a friend ( client) who has still Avalon speakers. After many different parts in his set he has the best 3d and touchable image I ever heard from a Avalon speaker. I heard a lot of Avalon speakers and demo's. But...my image at home is superi... 
Interconnect Cables for Pre-and Power amp
I went from Colorado to Sky. This difference was bigger than I thought. In a few months I do from sky to the new outcomming Wild. I wonder what kind of equipment ZD542 uses? 
Interconnect Cables for Pre-and Power amp
Audioquest Sky is superior compared to Cheetah. Pure silver in most situations never sounds harsh or bright. It has more to do with the quality of the equipment you use. Separation, dynamics and resolution of the Sky is a lot better compared to Ch...

high power tube amps vs ss
My old XA100.5 monoblocks ( 100 watt classA) were superior in drive, control, slamm and dynamics compared to my older heavy Modified Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista-300. This one measured far over 2 times 350 watts ( 8 ohm) 
Pass x250.5 or Bryston 14BsstĀ² ?
These days I teach people the difference between 2 and 3 dimensional sound. There are still many people who are not aware of it. For many people it is new. But when they are aware of it, they all prefer depth and a 3d image. I never met a person w... 
Arcam P777 or Theta Intrepid
Arcam has a quite warm overwhole sound. This means the focus is more to the mid's. Bryston has a total different sound. It depends about your taste and speakers you use? Maybe it is not the best match. There is one important thing you should think... 
Viper Zitron versus MIT Oracle AClll
In the past I owned the more expensive MIT AC cords. To be unnest there are enough better ones for the money these days. Listen to the best Purist Audio Design has to offer. Compare it and you understand why they are so much better. 
Avalon Eidolon Diamond vs Revel Salon 2
I sold Avalon for about 6 years. I listend a lot to them. The things I personal do not like is that classical music sound a lot different in real. ( in my opinion) Even with tubes I still do not like the sound. The thing I dislike most is that ins... 
Avalon Eidolon Diamond vs Revel Salon 2
You are the only one who can choose your personal favorite sound. The difference is quite big between these two. Use your own music and listen both to them. At the end you will have your own favorite. It is that easy. 
Pass x250.5 or Bryston 14BsstĀ² ?
Pass labs is a lot better in soundrealism. But also has a wide an deep stage. Bryston does all these parts at a much lower level. Bryston has often a lot of control. But in the world of Highend it is not good enough. 
I am having BIG problems with my ARCAM AV-888
email Arcam, very nice people. 
Why do some audiophiles beat up McIntosh?
A few weeks ago I was at a show. I listend to the 1.2 kw with the Focal Scala's. The control was not good. Also the speed and timing was not good as well. I talkes this week to someone who owned the 1.2 kw. He told me the same that the speed and c...
