SET vs ICE vs GAINCLONE vs HYBRID vs other?
Hi,I agree with the weight and the heat statements - therefore this amps is placed in my basement (doubling as area heater..:-).I have very mild hum on the left side transformer but it is not coming from the speaker. Just the transformer itself (m... 
SET vs ICE vs GAINCLONE vs HYBRID vs other?
I know this is late but out of curiosity I have Two questions, if you will:1. Why did you sell the JAS in the first place?2. Did you ever tried to improve the JAS (tube rolling, capacitors upgrades, etc) before selling?Take care,Doron 
Sonus Faber Cremona/JL F112 VS Sonus Faber Elipsa
I agree with Dtc.Was disappointed with Elipsa, Cremona M, Guarneri Memento.If a box speaker than let it have soul.The original Cremona has beautiful full bodied mid range.The bass is thunderous, no need for a sub. If anything it needs fine tuning ... 
Joule LA100 MKIII or Granite Audio 770FP or Modwrt
I beg to defer re "Tubey" since for me it is always associated with rounding and smoothing the sound, usually at the expense of detail retrieval and speed.I find the LA-100 Mk III rich sounding as opposed to plain "Tubey". It is like adding a litt... 
Sonus Faber Grand Piano Home vs Concerto Domus
Hi,I have been living with the GP Homes for 5 years now trying many amps, sources, cables and so forth.In my mind, the GPH are one of the best hi-fi bargains out there.Dismissed by many snot-nosed audiophiles as Home-Theater-in-a-box speakers with... 
proac sound vs coincident sound
Hello,I listened to the Proac Response 2.5 and Coincident Partial and Super Eclipse II.Both hooked to Rogue Tube Mono-blocks. Pre-amps deferred (We tried Rogue, Canary, Joule-Electra, Shanling Solid State, etc). These speakers represent two differ... 
Proac or Sonus Faber Monitor Speakers
Thanks for enlightening me re my junk speakers.Following your comments I immediately put them on the front lawn the night before waste management were about to collect...Maybe they will be able to recycle something more useful and less musically t... 
Proac or Sonus Faber Monitor Speakers
Too bad this was you experience.I am assuming you tested the Concertos and not Concerto Domus.I compared my SF Grand Piano Homes to my friend's Acoustat 3 which with the proper match are probably the best speakers in the world (put to shame any qu... 
Proac or Sonus Faber Monitor Speakers
First and foremost my experience is that not all SF sound the same. Especially the newer models (which I personally dislike, regardless of price) compared to the older ones.I own the Grand Piano Home and compared to the Proac Response 2.5.Rest of ...

Hi,I tried the BIS Audio Maestro (www.bisaudio.com).Small company from Montreal.Excellent products at reasonable prices, relatively speaking.The Maestro is their top of the line Power Cable and holly smokes is it ever good!In my system it puts the... 
Joule Electra Owners-What Power Cables?
I am currently using my LAP-150 Mk II with the Cardas Golden Reference PC. It is a good match but I am going to try and experiment with Bis Audio Maestro AC which I am currently using with my CDP.The rest of my system is:Sonus Faber GP HomeJoule-E... 
Joule Electra LA150 MkII or Lamm LL2 Deluxe?
What happened Mitch2?You got tired of the Joule so fast?I own the LAP-150 Mk II (recently bought and immediately upgraded from Mk I) and cannot praise it enough.With my Sonus Faber GP Home and Bryston 4B Pro (yes you heard right) this is the best ... 
Review: Sonus Faber Cremona Speaker
Hi,I auditioned the Cremona with Meridian G07 CDP G02 Preamp and G57 amp (Cardas Neutral Reference Interconnect and MIT Speaker Cables) in 8 X 5 meters room with some acoustic treatment but relatively low ceiling .Speakers were placed on the long ...
