| Planning out a PS-Audio Stack, seeking advice balance of hardware vs dollars avalible jackd,Thanks for sharing. I was going go the 250 route and started talking with my dealer about goals and such. End result was he felt I’d really be happy with the stereo, but is convinced I would appreciate the deeper wider soundstage of the mono... | |
| Auditioning Elipsa SE tomorrow, getting my ducks in a row, am I missing anything 4 months later. I'm loving the Elipsa Se even with my old Arcam integrated. Got my old M+K sub in the mix and it really adds. Set the sub on the B speaker output so easy to take it in and out. Everyone can hear the difference, its night and day Ad... | |
| Planning out a PS-Audio Stack, seeking advice balance of hardware vs dollars avalible jackd,Thanks for the feedback. I've had that thought regarding my power although I've not found anyone else to voice it. If a regenerator can be essentially removed from the equation, it opens lots of other doors. Like you mention other decisions ... | |
| Ps Audio BHK preamp Vs ARC best preamps It sounds like some of you have gone the route of the BHK 250, added the preamp, then upgraded the mono's.Has anyone compared the 250 with Preamp, vs just the mono's without the preamp?My budget just supports either or, I just can't make it to th... | |
| Auditioning Elipsa SE tomorrow, getting my ducks in a row, am I missing anything The speakers arrived in wonderful shaped. OK, not so much arrived, but rather retrieved. They quickly made they way to Spokane, then began transfers between shippers and lots of delay. Finally, hey can I just will call these? Picked them up the ne... | |
| Auditioning Elipsa SE tomorrow, getting my ducks in a row, am I missing anything Had hoped to get a tracking number today. Guessing 7-10 days to get them.For now no decisions until I get them hooked up. Will run without sub and original cables, then roll in the new cables and enable the sub in steps and see how it all fits. Th... | |
| Auditioning Elipsa SE tomorrow, getting my ducks in a row, am I missing anything off topicdavid,I’d love to support local dealers. I traveled to see one of 2 pairs of SE’s that I found for sale in the US. Went to see a demo pair and was prepared to come home with them. I thought I was going to the SF dealer, turned out was not... | |
| Auditioning Elipsa SE tomorrow, getting my ducks in a row, am I missing anything David,These are discontinued speakers and you have to go where they are. Either trade in or private seller.They did have Olympia and the bookshelf, but don't have SF other than that.As for a local, like less than 300 miles away. Talked to that dea... | |
| Auditioning Elipsa SE tomorrow, getting my ducks in a row, am I missing anything lostbears, I hear you on the freight trauma. I would much prefer to hand carry myself, but this would be about a 4000 mile round trip. They will be insured and its a Sonus Faber dealer shipping. Its about as good as I can get it | |
| Auditioning Elipsa SE tomorrow, getting my ducks in a row, am I missing anything @pkelly1504 Glad to hear you have the BHK preamp running on these. I've been considering this after reading so much great about it.Toying with the the following 3 optionsGet the BHK 250 and use the Ps audio directstream dac without a preamp, All d... | |
| Auditioning Elipsa SE tomorrow, getting my ducks in a row, am I missing anything OK, I'm in the club now. I'm pretty jazzedBuyer accepted my offer on the SE's, sadly not in red, but at a great price as compared to $12K lostbears quoted.Also getting a new pair of Cartas cables shipped along with the speakers | |
| Auditioning Elipsa SE tomorrow, getting my ducks in a row, am I missing anything Update, my little voice told me to read my own post. Made an offer on an other pair of Elipsa SE.Hopeful, but then if it doesn't work out might be a red pair come up. | |
| Amp for Sonus Faber Elipsa SE Curious if anyone has tried the PS-Audio BHK Signature 250 with these?Doubles down to 500W at 4 ohms and being a hybrid it in theory has the tube flavor, although I've not been able to audition oneMy thought was to do this amp and do without a p... | |
| Auditioning Elipsa SE tomorrow, getting my ducks in a row, am I missing anything Back from the trip and now awake. There was good and bad about the SE's. Very attractive, although red would be so much nicer, and the tone or maybe the quality of the sound was towards the nicest I've heard. It like when I heard a cello solo, it ... | |
| Auditioning Elipsa SE tomorrow, getting my ducks in a row, am I missing anything Great feedbackI got my new DAC today and in love! Although I should be in bed resting, we're up listening to music and wow the changes the DAC brought to my tired old system. Off to Seattle in a few hours. Love the look of the violin red, but righ... |
