| Mogami wire quality? Auxiput,+1 for sure. Well written, honest and accurate description. Solid performance and very good value? Yes. Can one exceed this level? Yes! If you don't hear a difference or believe that none exist then by all means purchase the cost effective... | |
| Daedalus Athena Hello Melbguy1,I've heard the Magico in a audio dealer showroom and CES x4, RMAF x1 and Axpona. I've listened to the Q 3, Q 5 and the Q7 as well as the S1, S3 and S5. The S5 driven by the Absolare Passion Signature amplifier was the best sound... | |
| Daedalus Athena Jazzdoc,You summed up very well the essential difference between the Devore and Daedalus. Both are very good and of course a matter of taste. I find Daedalus generally a bit more authoritative and dynamic in character. System synergy is always a... | |
| Class D Technology Hi Guido,Regarding the notion of dismissing a class based on selected specifications I’m with you 100%, dogma doesn’t work for me. It has to be based on actual listening experiences. I also agree with you in that within any audio product genre ine... | |
| Class D Technology Hi Guido,When you say that you and Bill use your own ears and thus determined that class D suits you all I don’t believe anyone here would dispute this conclusion. Those who find class D undesirable are equally credible in their listening evaluati... | |
| Devore O/96 with Class A Solid State Amps Bill,Schubert and Isochronism are two former frequent contributors who have seemingly vanished from this forum. Regarding your listening room I believe that once you're done it will be exceptionally good sounding and visually pleasing as it will ... | |
| Devore O/96 with Class A Solid State Amps Bill,I'll follow your room acoustic developments with keen interest. Charles | |
| Devore O/96 with Class A Solid State Amps Bill,Looking at pictures of your room and it's really nice with generous space, it has obvious potential with the use of wisely chosen room treatment. Have you tried having the SV woofers firing outward? This was the better placement in my room b... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Jet,Thank you. Good to know he's doing well. I miss his unique wit and humor on this forum. Charles | |
| Devore O/96 with Class A Solid State Amps Hi Bill, I'm glad you are finding the time to enjoy your music collection and system once again. Are you using the Coincident Super Victory or do you resort to the Triumph Extremes more often? I came so close to buying the SV but instead bought t... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Jet,I'll stray off topic for a moment. Have you heard from Brett (Isochronism) recently? He seems to have disappeared. Thanks, Charles | |
| Devore O/96 with Class A Solid State Amps Hi Bill (Brownsfan),I concur with the open mind approach, you never know unless you try. Joe (Snoblo) has compared the Pass Labs XA 30.8 and a First Watt amplifier to his Frankenstein MK II SET. He was really impressed with both of the SS amplifie... | |
| OCTAVE v80se w/SBB and JADIS I-50 Hamburger, What did you think of the Jadis after listening to it?I hope you do listen to the Octave amplifier. Direct A/B comparison would be ideal but easier said than done. Charles | |
| Devore O/96 with Class A Solid State Amps Bayreuth,This is not surprising to me that a well implemented high impedance (10 ohms) easy load speaker would sound good with high quality tube or solid state, low or high power amplifiers. Atmasphere (Ralph) as often pointed out that every type ... | |
| Class D Technology Ralph, I’m glad you making progress in your recovery. ThankGod for seat belts and air bags. I’ve witness people make significant improvement with physical therapy (and time) following a major MVA. Charles |
