| Cardas Golden Cross vs. Golden Hexlink 5C Rusvit, I own the Cardas Hexlink Golden 5C interconnect and owned the Golden Cross ic, I sold the Golden Cross and kept the Hexlink. IMHO, the Golden Cross is very bright and unnatural. The Hex Golden 5c is warm and a little slow, but it is a far ... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento Milimetr, could you post the link to the review that you are referring towith the D28/2 information. | |
| Anyone using KT88's in D series ARC gear? Hi Esporma, I solved the barrier strip problem by using bi-wire pairs of Nordost Red Dawn. The Nordost factory terminated the amp end with a narrow spade that works well with the ARC. BTW, I still believe that these amps are a PHENOMBARGAIN at the... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento Elviukai, I think that you may be confused regarding the tweeters that SF uses in its various products. SF has for many years had their various tweeters modified by the different manufacturers to SF's spec's. This scheme has been used by numerous ... | |
| Jeff Rowland 8T with Wilson Sasha w/p? Ebm, I discovered that one can get away with a smaller output tube amp if one has inefficient speakers. ( which is what it sounds like the Mini 2's are)and you have a small room. My GH's are also pretty inefficient, BUT my ARC with 60 watts/ch has... | |
| Jeff Rowland 8T with Wilson Sasha w/p? Ebm, I agree that the model 8 is a wonderful amp. Have you tried your Mini 2's with a tube amp? I think that a tube amp can give you a different 'presentation' if you will, that is very pleasing with speakers like the Minis. I love my 8 with my So... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento Milimeter and Elviukai, it's true that SF did some minor changes to the GH's as time went by; I think mostly in the cabinet construction however.My pair are Anno2004, and were according to my dealer the last pair imported into the US, the Tweet do... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento To follow up my post, look here:http://www.hifisound.de/oxid/oxid.php/tpl//lang/1/cl/alist/cnid/eb642232681286cf0.79190334I think one can clearly see from the face of the driver that the tweet is the D330 Esotar and NOT the D28. | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento Milimetr, that's an interesting picture. For some reason my speakers don't have this sticker on the drivers; Today I took a flex mirror and looked at the tweet. Mine has nothing on it at all. Perhaps your picture is of a replacement driver that so... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento Elviukai, I thought my answer to you on the SF GH review thread that I wrote was clear! In addition this is what MF said in the SFGM review that was done in August of '09 in Stereophile...quote:"More important, the original Guarneri Homage, fitted... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento Semi, you miss the point about the GH's vs the GM's. The GH's certainly do use the Esotar driver, no they don't use various hard domes or ribbons which you imply are better designs; BUT then neither does the GM! The GM uses a ring radiator sourced... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento Once again Semi, what is IYHO a 'fact' is far from it.Is the Esotar still SOTA, not to your ears, ok I can accept that, however,to say it masks micro dynamics and detail tells me that there is something else in your system that is the culprit in t... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento Semi, I can only speak for myself, BUT I personally have no problem with any type of tweeter as long as it sounds good. I have owned Titanium domes, Be tweets, ribbons,stats and alum domes-- I enjoyed them all.However, I do NOT think that I prefer... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento Pinkus on another thread you wrote and I quote"Of course it is also possible that I am highly suggestible, and I am the one with the tin-ear."I think that may speak for itself..:0)BUT in all seriousness, I do agree that 'each to their own' is appl... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento Flg2001, i think a little salt in this thread is a good idea..It doesn't really surprise me that there are many GH owners in Italy,or anywhere else for that matter, that are "reluctant" to give up theirGH's for GM's. A backward step is never anyth... |
