| Heimdall 2 vs. Frey 2 Wlutke, So you really dig the Frey 2 - what is your system consist of? | |
| Audio Research PH6 Phono Stage - How is it? I appreciate your response, Zd542. I can see exactly what you mean. My own major purchases have been components I've heard together and really liked. I don't like an over ally clinical sound that gives a great musical presentation for 10 minutes b... | |
| Heimdall 2 vs. Frey 2 Thanks for the response Tablejockey. I am planning on auditioning the Heimdall 2 vs. Frey 2 in a couple weeks, but not in my exact system. It will run through my same amp (Primaluna HP Integrated), and other tube gear, so I can get their general f... | |
| Audio Research PH6 Phono Stage - How is it? Tmmvinyl,I agree is it definitely one way to go. However, I am building my system from the ground up so there is so many moving parts that it would be difficult to see what is improving or not. You have to make some purchases at the beginning at l... | |
| Audio Research PH6 Phono Stage - How is it? Another tube phono stage is the EAR 834, which retails for under $2,000. Not sure how this compares with the others in this thread, but it certainly is the cheapest. Any comments on this? Taters, I will look into the Zesto as well. Thanks for the ... | |
| Cary 306 Professional vs. Marantz SA11S3 Came across the EAR Acute Cd player or the Ear Acute Mk3 - have never heard of this company and a lot of people seem to to like these cd players. For a tube lover, the EAR looks very interesting. Any more recent owners choose this CD player? Has a... | |
| Audio Research PH6 Phono Stage - How is it? Zd542, not sure what people in my position are to do. If you don't have any local audio shops to listen in person or demo, cannot bring stuff home on a loan, what else do you do but ask in forums, read reviews, talk to stores/reps over the phone w... | |
| Speaker Cables for Sonus Faber Olympica III Tablejockey, what does the rest of your system consist of? Have you heard the Heimdall or Heimdall 2, or are you basing your interest off of reviews? Much appreciation! | |
| Speaker Cables for Sonus Faber Olympica III Jond,Have you tried Nano Reference Speaker Cables and Interconnects in Cerious Technologies? Looked at those and wondering what you like about them (if you've heard them) with your system. | |
| Speaker Cables for Sonus Faber Olympica III That's great advice Jond! Thanks for your input - and will definitely be keeping my eyes out for used gear. It does seem that many on Audiogon really seem to ask for unrealistic prices for some of the used gear (especially stuff that is years or o... | |
| Speaker Cables for Sonus Faber Olympica III Zd542, I appreciate your input. Not sure what I'm going to do, but being the differences are very subtle about improved performance with cabling, it seems difficult to make a decision. So are you saying that spending $200 vs. $3,000 in say, a Nord... | |
| Good, better, best. VPI Classic 1 accessories and upgrades. Why not go with the VPI Prime that just came out recently? I think both Matt and Harry Weinstein of VPI would recommend it over the Classic 1 and Classic 2. I believe the VPI owner would take the Prime over everything until you get to the Classic ... | |
| Amplifier for Sonus Faber Guarneri EVO's Bavarian05, do you still have the Sonus Faber Olympica II's? THe reason I ask is that I am interested in purchasing them and also have the Primaluna Dialogue HP Integrated Amp and a VPI turntable. What do you think (if you still have the Olympica ... | |
| Any Herron VTPH-2 Phono Stage Owners out there? If I go with the Herron VTPH2, how much benefit (if at all) would I get going with a Step up Transformer, such as a Bob's Device? My low output Ortofon Black Quintent is 0.3mv. I have a VPI Prime turntable and know that Bob's makes one for the VPI... | |
| Any Herron VTPH-2 Phono Stage Owners out there? Thanks everybody - I will give Keith a call when my funds increase a bit. $3600 is still quite the investment. Not sure if there are any demos or deals going on any units, but am pretty much sold by the Herron if it will work in my system. Thanks ... |
