| Does anyone know about Sphinx amplifiers? I have had Sphinx Myth 3 integrated a few years back and I also auditioned Project 2 mk 2 preamp with Project 12 monoblcocks in my system. They are fast, detailed but not too romantic. | |
| What are the Best Sounding FM Tuners You should look for Day Sequerra tuners. Those are best of the best of the best. | |
| Any advice on a pre-amp with HT pass-through? Krell KRC-3 has HT pass-through. Excelent build quality, balanced ins and outs, remote controll and very good sound quality for the price. Lots of them used on AgoN in $1200-1500 range. Just sold mine, was very pleased with it. | |
| Audiophile circuit breakers ? Gs5556 -> I live in Europe, in Poland to be precise, so I have an DIN compatible breaker box as standard. The voltage may not be an issue (if anything, the voltage in Europe is higher than in the US). However, the mounting standard may be anoth... | |
| Audiophile circuit breakers ? AHP web address is: http://www.audiophiles-hifi.de/Unfortunatelly the site is in German.Look for Klangmodul II (silver contacts) and Klangmodul III (gold contacts). The ones wit "G" in their name use bigger fuse, and are said to sound better due t... | |
| Looking for a new speaker. Wilson Maxx II ?? Make sure to try Avalon Eidolon Diamond. | |
| Speaker Cable choice, Cardas, AQ, JPS or SR? As a previous Volcano user, I would recommend listening to the AQ KE-4 and AQ KE-6 silver speaker cables. Even the cheaper KE-4, which costs only 2/3 of Volcano, is vastly superior than the most expensived AQ copper cable (Volcano). Much more open... | |
| New Midrange vs. Older High-End CD Transports For whatever reason, all DVD based players track better than any CD player I have tried over the years. I have a special CD to check tracking errors, and the best CD player I have tried was able to read a data drop out up to 1,5mm. My cheap Yamaha... | |
| Any opinions on PS Audio Power Plants Clio09:Correct. You can safely disconnect the fan. It will run very hot wit no fan, but it will be fine.If you decide to go the Papst route, get the quitest one you can find. They always have a noise level indicated on the box. You can also get on... | |
| Any opinions on PS Audio Power Plants I have had the same problem with the fan noise in my P300.I have called PS Audio and was informed, that you can safely disconect the fan, unless the power meter on P-300 doesn't read above 100W.I run it with no fan with no issues at all. The other... | |
| EMM DCC2 vs Hi End Preamps I have listened extensively to CDSD/DCC2 combo. IMO the DCC2 lacks body compared to the latest dCS Elgar Plus / Verdi La Scala combo, and using the inbuild preamp only makes things worse. I greately prefered a Nagra PL-L tube preamp to DCC2 preamp... | |
| Which companies also offer good service?? Since I do not live in the US, I only have had an e-mail contact with severeal manufacturers.The very best (most informative and quickest in reply) were Mondial and Muse. The absolute worst contact I had was Theta. No contest there. | |
| Looking for an amp to drive Eidolons Vision. Downunder: That is an option I was thinking about, too. I think I will go there this year to listen by myself. The UK importer has been demoing the Avalon / CJ combination on The HiFi News Show for years. In fact, one of those demos made me buy Ei... | |
| Looking for an amp to drive Eidolons Vision. Well, basicly yeah. Do you think they will overpower the room ? | |
| What's Your Experience with Digital Switching Amp? I have the Bel Canto eVo 4 amp, which is also a DSA, but based on a Tripath technology. It also sounds wonderfully smooth, and has a purity of tone rarely found in SS amps. When run in bridged mode, it has one of the best, most dynamic and articul... |
