| Tube or SS for Sonus Faber Amati Homage Sounds like I should give Berning a try, entry price is certainly attractive compares to the big names. Thanks for the tips, you might have saved me lots of money. | |
| What tube to use in Sonic Frontier Power 3 Thanks Newbee. I forgot to mention I like fuller and quicker sound, bass is not as critical to me as long as it sounds realistic. My rest of equipment is SF Line 3 SE, Sony SACD, VPI TNT, BAT VK-P5, and SF Amati Homage. | |
| Tube or SS for Sonus Faber Amati Homage Thanks for all of your inputs. I know I wanted tubes for my Amati, just a matter of OTL, single ended, or conventional push-pull. I might go with SF Power 3 for the sake of synergy plus lots of options when it comes to alternative tubes (6550/KT88... | |
| Tube or SS for Sonus Faber Amati Homage Thanks everyone for your input. I have heard great things about YBA, but I don't think any solid state can be a tube regardless how hard they try. I am still leaning toward real tube amps instead of "tube like" solid state which I already used to ... | |

| Sonic Frontiers is bankrupt? There are too many people out there who does not trust their own ears. ARC is still going strong with nothing but two channel products, but SF has went over the cliff and back many times. SF gears are very good, so good that I sold my ARC Ref 1 to... | |
| Driving SF Extrema with one BAT VK-60 ? And they sound wonderful as expected. I also tried all sort of solid state (Rowland 8TiHC, McCormack DNA-2 Deluxe, Classe CA-400, Krell FPB-300). You need to give Power 3 lots of current or your Power 3 can still clip when you push your Extrema lo... | |
| Unknown pair of Dynaudios In Dynaudio's handbook "book of truth", they have a picture of this Facette speakers. If you were to look top down, it would have a trapezoid shape if the back is flat. I don't know what the back of the speaker looks like, but front has three face... | |
| What is your vote for best bookshelf speaker ? I owned (or have owned) 3 of the speakers above and heard most of them as well. I have to say they all have their strength and weakness (surprise?). I like the Extrema's dynamic and transparency, I also like the Confidence 3's openness and dynamic... | |
| Speaker upgrade - please advise. I have owned most of the speakers out there, C5 is a very special speaker even Temptation will admire as C5 use some very exotic soft midrange dome which cost over $800 a pair. The midrange is incrediblly fast and transparent, put some electrostat... | |
| McCormack DNA2 Deluxe vs Sim Aud Moon W5 I had two DNA2 Deluxe before, but my experience was not as good though. Both failed on me and warranty repair took over 6 weeks each for turn around. The later one even got damaged by McCormack/Conrad Johnson. Though sound is good for the money, I... | |
| Help Proac 3.8/ Contour 3.3/ B W N802 Ok, you don't need my 2 cents then. I heard the ProAc 3.8 and it's the typical ScanSpeak carbon/paper woofer sound - lean and quick. Dynaudio is more realistic in term of fullness and quickness, I own the Confidence 5 and found the Contour 3.3 ver... | |
| Best Tweeter for DIY project Dynaudio Esotec or Esotar, buy them before they are all gone. Dynaudio decided to discontinue DIY or parts service. | |
| Cardas Golden VS AQ Diamondx3. anybody? Had Diamond X3 and Golden Reference at one point, could not figure out why GR sounds so muddy and constraint. Diamond seems to open up the sound and details quite a bit in my system, overall more musical. I also hear more depth and dimension. I ha... |
