| Tubes vs. solid state. The 'best' of both technology are converging with gaps closing in very rapidly today. Best attributes of each are pretty much present in either, differences are minute--if any. So imo, given the right choice of gears and proper system synergy one ... | |
| Magico V2 vs. Sonus Faber Cremona M From your checklist of seven, I would have to give the first six in favor of V2. As for 'musicality', it being more subjective--perception, bias, taste, preference come into larger play here--you will have to decide that for yourself. And to add t... | |

| Synergistic Designer Reference Cables? character.. I have the Designer Reference2 (Square) bal.ic with MMC unit. They are 'impressive' as in sounding--big, dynamic and quiet (esp.when grounded to their MMC box). Relatively neutral timbre, but not as linear in tonal balance. With slight tendency to... | |
| new Magico speakers the Q5 Comparing M6 with X2.2 is more appropriate imo. | |
| Echole vs Argento vs Kubala-Sosna? Sebastian, I will have to agree with you also in that Argento do have this rather 'different sonic palette'. I've known and used for a while actually, the Argento cables from way back 15-16 years ago. Looked similar (pearlish white) but with 6 or ... | |
| Echole vs Argento vs Kubala-Sosna? The site pointed seems to be exclusive, controlled, and looked to be very strictly minded--not so much of an open forum as this. They happen to carry/sell the Argento line too don't they? Fun read, but I would dig elsewhere for more balanced infos... | |
| new Magico speakers the Q5 One thing which never cease to amuse is that whenever the name Magico popped, there's bound to be controversies and many will start ridiculing their prices. Wonder why this seldom happen with the many other exotic brands commanding similar or even... | |
| new Magico speakers the Q5 Hi Clavil!Yup, just saw it too yesterday. It will be interesting, can't wait.. | |
| Echole vs Argento vs Kubala-Sosna? The G7 Emperor Crown and Empress are IMO in a different league to the above mentioned cables. Have been using the KS Elation--and thought them to be quite a major leap from previous Emotion--which is an excellent line too. Currently home demoing t... | |
| Is there a better quality Firewire cable? Prior to me having the Siltech Firewire (3yrs ago), have always listened to my 6yrs old dCS stack in their up-sampled mode of 44.1->176.4/192 (via Siltech double AESBUs). Yes, better Firewire cables do make significant differences so much so th... | |
| Best Interconnects For the Jadis JP-200 to amps?? Siltech latest offerings the G6 / G7 range are excellent but cost a bomb. You might want to try look up their top line cable from the 90s--used. I was using their flat speaker cable (FT12--if I remembered model correctly) plus ic from back then to... | |
| Best Interconnects For the Jadis JP-200 to amps?? Jadis + Siltech = Magical! | |
| Synergistics cables and Wilson Speakers I have been using the SR Designer Reference2 (Squared) ic with their active MMC box in the past and still have them. Although doing most of audiophile's requisites well (albeit in their own 'impressive' ways), they have this slight but consistent ... |
