| Wadia 170i transport experience? I like the convenience of use of my Wadia 170i - I replaced my Reimyo 777 CDP for a Wadia 170i/Reimyo DAC combo (that happens to be exactly the same DAC of my Reimyo 777 CD ) and.... I do not miss the CDP at all.Caveat - I use a quite expensive Si... | |
| Review: Sonus Faber Guarnieri Homage Speaker Nice review Dave - I share almost all of your findings with my experience with the Guarneri's. I have had at least a dozen speakers, including Avalon (Avatar and Eclipses), Magnepan 2.3, Eaglestone Rosas, Gallo Nucleus, Avantgarde UNOs, Totem Mani... | |
| What Integrated Amps have the sonics of Separates? I have had great results with Audio Note Meishu, Jadis Da50S, Acoustic Plan Sitar and I am sure that the already named Rowlands, MBL or Boulder are great options as well. | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento Milimetr - the GH generate a very credible mid-bass and bass for its size - I am sure that by now you have already noticed that they sound 'larger" than it size, and its sonic portrait is far away from its radiation point, creating a very credible... | |
| Best cables for Jadis DA88 Signature amplifier I own Siltech for my Jadis DA50S and tried them as well with a pair of JA50s - great match IMHO. | |
| Jadis JA 80 or DA88S -'to be or not to be' I know that the JA80 is better than the DA88S ...BUT you will need the matching preamp for your amp if you take the JA route - I tried to run a JA50 directly from the variable DAC output and it is just not the same....The DA88 is a hell of an Inte... | |
| Jadis with Telefunken 12AX7/ECC83 tubes I tried Amperex, Mullard, Tele and four others I do not recall now - The Telefunkens NOS were the winners in my system for a DA50S both in the 12Au and 12AX sections.Closer to them were a set of Amperex Buggle boys, a little dry in my opinion comp... | |
| Over the top Good choice... my left brain was also there while writing the original post.. anyway... I am sure you got the message - do enjoy them! | |
| Over the top My right brain has been always in love with McIntosh - my right one keeps telling me it is just pricey Hi-Fi. My best decisions in life have come from my right brain!!! | |
| SF Guarneri Homage vs Harbeth 7ES3 I play acoustic guitar as well - not at the professional level that Daveyf looks to perform - but always as a reference to me when evaluating speakers.I have had at keast ten different speakers, from stats to ribbon to horn and dynamic designs, al... | |
| Over the top I own a pair of SF Guarneri and thought that adding a superb SS amp would help in the same areas you are looking for - so I bought a Gryphon pre/power combo with great results.Saying that - I recently found that a Jadis Da55S provided a better def... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento I totally agree Daveyf - I am a big Gryphon fan, but in this particular case with my current room and sources - the Jadis brought more musicality and refinement to my system.I kept the Jadis DA50 Signature for the moment - but after hearing what t... | |
| Upgrade Denon 103 R to Shelter 501 II? I moved directly from a 103R to a Dynavector XX-1 - the 103 is that good that one needs to scale up at 3x1 in price. | |
| Usher Be 718 or Kitty Kat Revelators? Wilson Duet will definitely work. | |
| Anybody heard the Jadis DA 88 Signature? I just changed my Gryphon pre/amp combo for a JadisDA50 Signature - which I had some years back (actually this is the same unit) and spunding really great with my Sonus Faber Guarneri (I had it with Avantgarde UNOs in the past also with great resu... |
