| The $20K Soulution Audio 330 Integrated Amp is a Bargain ? I've heard plenty of good things about the 509X. Only you can say whether it would suit your needs and the needs of the rest of your system and budgetI would think the Analog Domain plays more in the realms of a C/M900u combination. The following ... | |
| The $20K Soulution Audio 330 Integrated Amp is a Bargain ? With quite a few $20k+ integrated amps around vying for attention there are great options for those wanting to de-clutter their system without compromising sound.I went for an Analog Domain integrated and it's a remarkable thing. I've not heard th... | |
| Analog domain M75D MK2 I've a Mk1 driving Kharma speakersIt's sensational, offers insight into recordings like little else I've heard. Transparency is out of this world but not at the expense of the natural flow of the music. I listen across genres and while a better re... | |
| What tonearm is recommended for the denon 103r Here's a left field option.I had a 103, it came with a Jelco 750L when I bought a TT package. What a dog! Set up by a dealer the sound was bloated and grainy. I just couldn't understand the fuss as by rights it should have been a good match for th... | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. I moved to a smaller room 10.5x14ft a couple of years back and worried that my Kharma 2.3ce would overdrive. Initially the fears were realised however much experimentation with placement well away from the front wall got the system to the point of... | |
| Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black For those interested I can perhaps chip in with some recent experienceLast weekend I sat in on an Ortofon demo. 2M red, blue, black, Quintet black, Cadenza bronze & black.All were mounted in detachable headshells. The system, top end Project T... | |
| Want to get into Analog To the OP Not sure whether they were sold in the US but Yamaha’s YP-800 is a good bet for a modestly priced entry into Japanese DD tables. The included arm’s okay and I’d second the Goldring 1042. With a budget phono I was surprised how close that... | |
| Review: Aesthetix Calypso Line Stage Tube preamp ama7grA dealer kindly lent me a bunch of different pc's a few years back and none of them made any impression. So much so I can't even remember the brands. I settled first on Kimber then a UK brand called Missing Link because I had them. It's not ... | |
| Cartridge for Technics SL-1200GAE Having recently entered the world of TT with an SP10 mk2 in a heavy plinth I can share my experience with a couple of cartridges mentioned in the thread which I've had installed on a Jelco 750 12' System, Aesthetix Calypso, Cyrus phono signature, ... | |
| Best Solid State Amp w/ Avalon Eidolon Diamonds I'd second the Karan's. I've heard various Avalon driven by Karan's inc Isis with KAM1200 which was wonderful. That system got out of the way and left the music in a way I've not experienced very often. I've not heard Eidolon or the Diamond with K... | |
| Musical Fidelity? I had A5 pre and pwr a few years back and thought they were great for the money driving Sonus Faber. Dem'd them against the A5 int and much prefered the seperates. Haven't heard the later versions. | |
| i am looking to replace my Krell with tube amps, BAT may be worth exploring. I heard King V2 driven by VK-150 to good effect | |
| Gryphon Diablo for Amati Anniversarios I've no experience of the combination but as you've had no response figured I'd throw you my 2 cents fwiw.Clearly can't comment on the synergy between Gryphon and SF but I'd think the Diablo is in the right ballpark as intergrated amps go. A guy I... | |
| dcs debussy Adg243, fwiw I think this level dCS and EMM play in the same ballpark. Personal preference in terms of what emphasis one prefers and system matching are what will determine a preference between the players (as with everything). For me I felt the d... | |
| Big Step Up from Totem Hawks? 10k Speakers? Not sure I agree entirely with Onhwy61.Sure, there'd be improvement with top of the line electronics but the Hawk's in that context would seriously limit the potential of the electronics (good though the speakers are).As a final system perhaps les... |
