| Big Karan amps Cappuccino,I'm just trying to get a feel of the Karan sound here. If they turn out responded better than most I have listed by fellow gon'ers, it sure is a worthwhile contender to look up and audition one myself too. Have you had the chance to com... | |
| AAD 7001 vs Magico Mini MK II I think he is referring to V2 (est.retail $18k) the latest offerings from Magico, little brother of V3, releasing alongside their M5. What escapes me though that it was already available in the market for a few months now as Frankpiet stated--the ... | |
| Big Karan amps Has anybody compared Karans to the like of top line from Boulder, Spectral, Gryphon, Golmund or Soulution?? | |
| AAD 7001 vs Magico Mini MK II Frankpiet,Hope what you had for comparison was a fully broken-in pair of V2. As those few points you mentioned, plus added midrange dimensionality (more densely fleshed out), and also top and bottom extensions were only fully realized at or after ... | |
| Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads? Have lived with the Strads for more than 2yrs. During which time amps used were alternating between my Jadis JA200, ARC REF600mkIII and FM Acoustics 611 (with either ARC REF3 or VTL REF7.5).Did not post sooner because because you initially seem to... | |
| AAD 7001 vs Magico Mini MK II Wow that's one spectacular spec of Boulder, more than doubling it's rated power to 4ohms? 700watts should be plentiful then! As for transparency and richness/density of tone colour/timbre I would think the MiniII to be quite vastly superior to Ava... | |
| AAD 7001 vs Magico Mini MK II During last 10yrs, my speakers evolved from Pro-ac Response 4 to ML Prodigy to MG20.1, then two years ago the SF Stradivari. Earlier this year, after having audition a number of some highly touted contenders within my allocated upgrade budget of 4... | |
| Best cables for Jadis DA88 Signature amplifier Siltech are excellent match. They highlight yet complement the Jadises strengths--in solidity, weight, punch and musicality. If possible G5 onwards. | |
| Most resolving solid state amp you've ever heard? Fafafion, thanks for sharing your experience. However those FMAs used, although still very relevant by today's standard, but imo are way too old (almost two decades old design). I think FMAs latest offerings would better reflect their advances (cu... | |
| Most resolving solid state amp you've ever heard? Fafafion, very interesting experience indeed..Which FMAs combo were you listening to that was bettered by the Soulution 700 "significantly in every department"? Was 720 or 721 partnered with 700 during audition? And speakers were? | |
| I would appreciate some speaker suggestions Just trying to be relevant to thread--on allocated budget, varieties of music listen to and associated equipments to be use with the speakers. However, my 20yrs plus of living with various planars from original CLSs in 1983, progressing steadily--... | |
| I would appreciate some speaker suggestions Check out the Vandersteen 2Ce Signature II--Imo one of the great "all-round" speaker for the money. Listed if not mistaken ar.$2200. Not as fussy as some competing planars or stats variants to set-up and on partnering equipments--simply put, very ... | |
| 2-way vs. 3-way Best 2-way as in.. Biggest-Baddest-Loudest? | |
| Large Tannoy Speaker Placement question: Many audiophiles in Japan listen to their big Tannoys in small dwellings with flea powered set amps, nearfield (low SPLs), thus eliminating the problematical room modes stirred by those powerful 15"-18" drivers. Most I was told, are happy and cont... | |
| Happy Thanksgiving - Quick dcs verdi question Had my Verdi for 5yrs now. Replaced the optical assembly unit twice since. Seems to be their only weakness thus far, a two yearly routine! Had my first ordered from local distributor (hence, factory) costing 450 pound. However, my second, I bought... |
