| Jeff Rowland Sound Guido, I like my JRDG 8 well enough to not seek another ss amp.However, I am curious to try a tube amp with my SF's.I am thinking of the Tenor's or the CAT amps. Any other suggestions? | |
| Jeff Rowland Sound Guido, I heard my 8 with a model 501 in comparison. The 501 is a good amp, but was a little outclassed by my 8 IMHO.Audiofeil, I have noticed that you pop up in many threads always with a consistant theme...NEVER anything positive to contribute an... | |
| Jeff Rowland Sound I have to agree with JMCgrogan2 that the sweet spot of Jeff's line were the 2/6/8 and 9s. My model 8 with choke is IMHO far warmer than the later class D amps.I have compared this amp to several ss amps and the only other ss amps that I could live... | |
| Magico Mini II vs. Magico V2 comparison Milimetr,your statement about the Guarneri Memento being less transparent is interesting. One of the AB's my 'phile friends and I have done is a comparison between the SF GH'sand the SF GM's. This was very instructive since the GM's lost out in al... | |
| Magico Mini II vs. Magico V2 comparison A while back some friends and I did an 'AB' comparison between the Magico Mini 1 vs. my SF GH's. Too a man, we all preferred the SF's in my room, by a wide margin. Albeit,this was the Mini 1 and not the Mini 2s. So, I don't know how the SF's would... | |
| Looking for former Hales System 2 owners feedback Brf and Jaybo, what did you replace your Hales with?I do agree that today the speakers would cost a lot more, although I feel that the MB Quart tweet was even in its day, somewhat of a let-down. I personally never looked back once I replaced my Ha... | |
| Looking for former Hales System 2 owners feedback What a great thread Gdodson...:0)I owned the Hales system 2 sigs for about 13 years. They were a great speaker for their time. I now own SF Guarneri Hommage; which in my small room is a far more resolving and accurate speaker. The G's are way supe... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri with SET amplifier -possible? Milimetr, I am currently using SF GH's; to drive them I am using a Jeff Rowland model 8 with choke and a CAT sig pre-amp. This combo works well because the G's are fairly inefficent and with tube pre-amp and a large ss amp they come alive. The G's... | |
| Anyone heard the new Radikal for the Linn LP 12? Thanks Stanwal, I checked out the threads. However, I sure would like to hear a first hand opinion of the Radikal upgrade.I have a feeling that the Lingo will finally begin to plummet in price now. Any idea of the cost of the Radikal? | |
| Review: Sonus Faber Guarnieri Homage Speaker Signhere, I have posted my opinions on the GH's vs. GM's in other threads. However, to sum up, having heard both, IMHO the GH's are frankly in a different league to the GM's! The GM's lack the GH's air and realism on top, they are uninvolving and ... | |
| anyone use ikea for lp racks? I use the Ikea 'lack' cases. They stand appx. 6'tall and are easily able to hold LP's without any flexing of the shelves.You do have to attach the racks to the walls to prevent tipping, but this is easy and they supply very good supports for that.... | |
| To Bi-wire or not? Tbromgard, as you using two seperate cables per speaker?If so, are you sure that the connections are in correct polarity at the amp and the same at the speakers?Also, I find it very helpful to make sure that the routing of the cables is as direct ... | |
| Review: Sonus Faber Guarnieri Homage Speaker Elviukai, sorry buy you are WRONG.. The GH's use, and are pretty well known for using, the Esotars. The speakers do utilize a custom made rear wood chamber for the tweeter.Frankly, IMHO they are one of the best examples of any speaker utilizing th... | |
| Your Favorite, Most Outstanding Guitar Solo I really like SRV's solo on China Girl with David Bowie.Also, Jimi's playing of just about anything, but in particular 'the star spangled banner' and 'Hey Joe' or 'All along the watchtower' | |
| Review: Sonus Faber Guarnieri Homage Speaker Fernando, today I fired up the system and listened to the MFSL Lp of 'Alison Krauss and Union Station Live'. I simply cannot recommend this remarkable LP highly enough.The GH's are seemingly built for this album and together I experienced the best... |
