| preamp for ARC 210 monos IMO Ref-3 or 5 is the way to go. Those amps were voiced togeter. | |
| Best way to hear a puccini?Direct or thru preamp? I compared Puccini direct to my ARC Ref-3 and Dartzeel pre, and each time, I prefered the direct conection. | |
| Wilson Sophia 2--- VTL S-150 or Ayre V1-xe? Cipherjuris,Just to set the record straight - at the time I had Lamm monos, I owned Avalon Eidolon Vision speakers, not Sophias.I have never heard the Sophias driven by Lamm M1.2R. | |

| new Magico speakers the Q5 No marketing hype ... yeah, riiiight.Minis were marketed from the start as the most expensive two-way in the world. That was their way of getting attention. Sure, they used some high quality parts (x-over), birch ply, Scan-Speak ring radiator twee... | |

| Wadia 830 basic vs Theta Miles balanced Both Wadia 830 and Theta Miles use discontinued transport mechanisms from Pioneer. They are still available though. | |
| Speaker cable for Wilson sophia and Pass labs X250 I second Stanwal opinion. | |
| any one every heard nagra pma's with avalon indras VPA worked with my Eidolons very well. | |
| Avalon Opus Ceramique vs B&W N802's I have heard the Opus (at the time beeing Eidolon Vision owner) and was hugely disappointed. Go with the Eidolons. | |
| any one every heard nagra pma's with avalon indras I concur. The PMAs are very dry sounding. If anything, consider VPA or Stratos monos. | |
| Accuphase DP-65V A friend of mine went from 65V to DP-500. Big difference. | |
| Voltage convert Krell KAV500 You will prolly need to buy from your Krell distributor a 50Hz chip to make it work. The input voltage can be easily set via a set of switches inside. | |
| Wilson Sophia 2--- VTL S-150 or Ayre V1-xe? 27W SET amp is hardly a current monster. Quite the oposite. The reason I posted this is that you seem to have a very strong opinions about the product, which I belive are not true. | |
| Wilson Sophia 2--- VTL S-150 or Ayre V1-xe? I do not agree with the "high current needed" comment. I'm currently running them with 27WPC Audio Note Japan Ongaku SET amp and they sound spectacular.I also have a big, DIY 35WPC SET monos based on GM70 tube (think Lamm ML3 for the poor) on loan... |
