| Best step up transformer for Benz Micro LP S Salectric- Thanks for clarification on the Benz. I know of someone using it direct in to a Shindo pre, and thus assumed it was low impedance. That's good news for me, as my T2 may actually be a nice match. I have heard great things about the Ruby ... | |
| Best step up transformer for Benz Micro LP S I have not heard the SAC Thailand or Ypsilon. I am a very happy owner of an A23 Homage T2. I believe you would want a Homage T1, as I believe the Benz is low impedance. | |
| Devore Fidelity Silverback Reference. Some excellent advice above for the OP. I find John to be very helpful, although he is a small operation. My guess is if you tell him what amp/preamp you use, he will give you some insight. I believe he has experience with solid state, and perhaps... | |
| Devore Fidelity Silverback Reference. Without any kind of doubt Silverbacks are the best speakers John Devore has manufactured.You have obviously heard a well set up pair of Orangutan's to make such a decisive statement. Thanks for sharing what the universal opinion should be. | |
| Devore Fidelity Silverback Reference. + 1 on what Shakey just said. Cheers -Don | |
| PHONO CART SUGGESTIONS The 20X2-L may be a choice to consider. | |
| Just ordered a WT Amadeus and Dynavector XX2 mk2 I think you will be thrilled with the move. I have only heard Rega on a few occasions, but you are getting a great turntable. My GTA isn't going anywhere. As a matter of fact, I still use a standard version Amadeus in my den system. You are also g... | |
| Sutherland 20/20 v Manley Chinook Sutherland has been around for neons, but IMO, you don't hear much about them. I wonder if anyone would chime in , and describe the tonal balance. Perhaps the OP may be interested as well. I believe the Manley is a hybrid, if I am not mistakenÂ…? | |
| Sutherland 20/20 v Manley Chinook I may be in the same boat soon, still recovering from an amp purchase. I would be replacing a Heed Quasar in my second system, no slouch by the way. The Heed may be worth checking out if you end up short on cash. One more you may want consider is ... | |
| Bryan Adams - Bare Bones Tour I Saw him solo about 3 years ago. It was a concert I chose because my wife would like it. He blew me away though. I was not expecting it at all. Saw him open for Journey in the 80's, but I can't tell you a thing about that night. Well, maybe just ... | |
| Upgrade from Verity Parsifal to Parsifal Encore?? It would certainly cruise along with the 93's. Again I will mention the Fidelio, because I believe they are 8ohm. I hate to say it, but the Parsifal is in the familiar 4ohm territory of Avalon, Wilson, RockportÂ…! Then there is the difference betwe... | |
| Upgrade from Verity Parsifal to Parsifal Encore?? Gotcha- they are indeed expensive, and relatively inefficient. I'm with you though, the Rockports are the real deal. I've had a good 5-6 speakers since owning the P/E's, and my system has changed a lot too. I liked the P/E's most with Tenor OTL's,... | |
| Upgrade from Verity Parsifal to Parsifal Encore?? Bhaskar- First of all, you are on a really good track, with these two speakers. If I had deep pockets, I would run either Fidelio Encores or P/E's in a second system. The P/E's, unlike the F/E's, can be s tricky load. I think the P/E's work best w... | |
| Devore Fidelity Silverback Reference. What's this secret amp? What is the preamp and source? | |
| Upgrade from Verity Parsifal to Parsifal Encore?? I have owned both Encores and DeVore 0/96's. The Verity is a great speaker, and I would never say I will never look back. In fact, the Encores are quite special. I have had the DeVores for considerably less time, and am reworking my system around ... |
