| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri Update - A lot happened the past few weeks. For those interested, to start with, on topic of this thread I got a Luxman 509u integrated, which I adore. This amp is clean, clear, powerful, flat, with punch while bringing out the subtlest tonalities... | |

| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri Hi Lloydelee - I only have integrated amps right now (Luxman and McIntosh), but I guess I could lug one of those over and just compare the pre-outs, if the shop doesn't have one of the same models. That would be difficult if I take the bullet trai... | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri Daveyf- I just found a used CONVERGENT AUDIO SL-1 signature online at the top end of my budget. Is this model a good one in your opinion? If so, maybe I could arrange a trip to Tokyo to hear it, but then it would only be at the shop with their eqpt. | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri Daveyf,Onemug,Egidius,Lloydelee21, I've been reading and greatly appreciating all your posts, but something's come-up and everything's on hold for me right now in terms of listening, etc. I have been researching online every item you've all put fo... | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri Daveyf, Onemug, Lloydelee21, anyone else...What are the basic sonic differences (and any other that might be important) between BAT and Mc preamps?I should be able to try the C2200 soon, but not the BAT. A BAT, CJ ART, Gryphon or most of these men... | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri How about a Balanced Audio Technol VK32SE tube preamp?About the same price as the McIntosh C2200, said to be in excellent condition. | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri Thanks Jman. In the process of home-testing the Guarneris, I found that I like the McIntosh house sound with American Jazz recordings, of which I've got thousands. My present McIntosh is a humble MA6800, which I'd like to upgrade away from in stag... | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri Hello Again Lloydelee - I bottle of excellent wine is in order for you!The lousy quality subwoofer test worked! It took me some emergency tweaking after figuring out the wiring, but I got the sub to blend well enough to convince my ever-so picky w... | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri Hello Loydelee21 - I finally got the sub, but I need some more help with the connections. The sub has low-pass input and high-pass output RCA jacks.Connecting the low-pass RCA input on the sub to the pre-out output of the pre-amp section of my int... | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri It's definitely NOT the amp...Test resultsI took everyone's advice and tried out some more amps yesterday, in a 3-hour listening test at the shop where I bought the GH's. On recommendation of the owner, I tried the following amps that were in the ... | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri Daveyf, yes, as I tried to say before, I only use the fixed DAC output from the iDecco, and not the pre-out or amp. Thanks for looking into that for me, though. I think the DAC portion if the unit is decent. Mine was the first unit sold in Japan (... | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri A bigger, more difficult issue with the GH's - If you go to the A'gon thread: "Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope?"to page 6, and see my post of 06-06-10, you will understand another problem I'm trying to deal with while assessing these. Keep ... | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri Definitely Homages, and in beautiful condition and complete with all original packaging and a signed booklet with the serial numbers. | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri Hi Lloydelee21 and DaveyfDaveyf - Thanks for your further details on cables and for looking into iDecco connections. I'll try the USB and see if I hear a difference. The iMac doesn't have a coax connection. As for ordering amps and cables online f... |
