| Good dac to reproduce soprano vocals? Hfl, the delta sigma chips in most modern DACs sound processed and unnatural to my ears. The best chip I've heard in producing natural sound of acoustic instruments and vocals is the TDA1541 Double Crown chip, which virtually impossible to find no... | |
| Raidho D1 audition So you're saying the D1 knocks the Pulsars out of the nights sky? ;) I just had a brief audition of the D1s which were just taken out of the box. The only significant difference I hear is the increased bass slam of the D1s. They aren't broken in s... | |
| Raidho C1.1 I heard the RELs do well with the C1.1s too. | |
| Raidho D1 audition Sabai, I can't fault you there. The C1.1s are very special indeed. I will be auditioning the D1 soon. | |
| Good dac to reproduce soprano vocals? Hfl, I listen to opera and gave my opinion. Try NOS ladder DACs. It may be what you're after. | |
| Raidho D1 audition Hey Sabai, I'm glad you like the Raidhos. I like the Raidho C1.1s a lot, but comparing TAD CR1s to the C1.1s in two completely different systems and drawing a conclusion or opinion is of limited value. I've auditioned both (not in the same system)... | |
| Good dac to reproduce soprano vocals? Try a well built DAC based on the venerable TDA1541 chip, peferably Double Crown. The ones I've heard preserves the timbre of female vocals like no other modern DACs, closest to a vinyl rig. The modern DACs may be better at soundstaging and imagin... | |
| Diamond drivers Phusis, may be you should skip the C1.1 and have a listen to the new Raidho D1 with the diamond mid/bass driver. Dynamics are supposed to be significantly increased over the C1.1. | |
| Raidho D1 audition I know a dealer in US who carries both Magico and Raidho line. His take on the D1 vs Q1 is the D1 is a more refined speaker with better resolution and staging/imaging, and better rendition of timbre and microdynamics. The Q1 is a more balls to the... | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly The standard knobs on my Cherry 180 fit the GP. But my Cherry 180s may have different knobs than the current production. I would get the GP first and see if they fit your standard knobs. | |

| Diamond drivers Phusis, the C1.1 are suppose to be significantly more dynamic and more emotionally connecting to the music than the C1. So may have gotten what you're looking for in the C1.1 that C1 was lacking. Roy Gregory have compared both side by side, and th... | |
| You are there-they are here For large scale musice (eg, symphony), I prefer the "you are there" presentation where you feel like you are in the large concert hall where the music was recorded. For more initimate music (eg, small jazz ensemble), I prefer the "they are here" p... | |
| MerrillAudio Veritas to drive Raidho D1 at NY Show Haven't heard the D1 yet, but the C1.1 is very special. It can can fill up a medium size room wall to wall and floor to ceiling with realistic imaging and dynamic sound that is hard to believe for such a small speaker. Most importantly, it gets th... | |
| Bob Carver LLC Black Beauty Review Zenkail, Bob Carver once told me his favorite preamp of all time is the Citation designed by Stu Hegeman. Once you get your tube equipment optimized, no SS can get that "addictive" sound you're referring to. :-) |
