| How to make the Focal Kanta No. 2 speakers sing? I had Kanta 3s which I purposely moved to from Harbeth 30.2s for a more forward and brighter sound. Even with hybrid tube electronics (BHK 300s). I eventually moved to Rockport Atria ii but now have Tannoy Kensingtons with Pathos Heritage MKIi hy... | |
| Experience with Modwright products? I had his OPPO SONICA DAC tube mod at one time. It was a huge improvement to the DAC in every way. Dan’s tech support and approach to customer service it first rate. I have no experience with his current lineup but based on my experience you could... | |
| Thinking Hybrid Integrated. @ja_kub_sz Sorry. Thought I’d answered your Heritage tube question before. Replaced the Tung-sol EXC803S with NOS MULLARD mc1. $$ and hard to find. More stability to the sound. More solid bass. | |
| Thinking Hybrid Integrated. + for Modwright. No experience with Dan’s amps but he tube modded my OPPO Sonica DAC years ago. Does great work. Stand up guy. | |
| Old stock power cords and SMTPs Ok! SMPS. Jeesh. Tough crowd. | |
| Tannoy Westminster’s Audition? @rolox Interesting your reaction to GRFs. I did not audition them with Kensingtons but vastly preferred the warmth and depth of my Mini Autographs to the GRF. I heard them with Wilson SASHA’s and to my ear they were almost indistinguishable on the... | |
| Thinking Hybrid Integrated. My Heritage is in Italy now for the MKII upgrade. This is Pathos to me on the mod: “The InPoL2 MkII and the InPoL Legacy have an improved circuitry, so we introduced it in the Heritage as well; we replaced also some components with higher qualit... | |
| Old stock power cords and SMTPs SMTP obviously. Thanks for the help. | |
| Tannoy Westminster’s Audition? Had a similar issue even living in Chicago. I’d recently got Autograph Minis for my beftop and was smitten so wanted to hear a bigger Tannoy to compare with my Rockport Atria ii’s. I drove to Glenn Poor’s in Champagne Urbana. They had the GRF’s... | |
| Nuclues plus bricked Join the club. I bricked two. Moved on to Innuos Zenith MK3 and never looked back. | |
| About ready to give up on Roon and my streamer I haven’t been happier since dumping Roon. Both for hardware and tech service related issues. I moved to Innuos Zenith MK3 and use their Sense app for steaming. Sense requires Innuos hardware. Their new Pulse units are relatively inexpensive and ... | |
| DFW folks - anyone have these speakers I could listen to? @carlsbad2 I wish I could disagree. But don’t blame the Tannoys. I don’t understand why Upscale doesn’t spend for a big first floor room to show the Tannoys. And bring Canterburys as well. I own Autograph Minis w/NAIM UNITI ATOM) and Kensington ... | |
| Coaxials - Reality vs. Experience? @mulveling I traded Rockport Atria ii’s for Tannoy Kensington GRs. Bought Autograph Minis for my bedroom and was so smitten I searched out the larger Tannoys. Listened to GRFs which were not quite to my taste, and Canterburys which were to big f... | |
| Heavy duty amp stand, Sonic benefits? My Patios InPol Heritage integrated sits atop a heavy (non-audio) wooden rack. the stand is two IKEA APTILIG bamboo boards (1-3/4” each) separated by Herbie’s Giant Fat Dots with Herbie’s Giant Fat Gliders under the stand. Isoacoustic OREA... |
