| Any experience with RAIDHO C 2.1 / D 2 / C 3.1 Thanks for the infos. Which Vivids are you refering to ? Which Raidhos were demoed at the show ? | |
| Looking for a high-quality 2-way speaker Hi Emailists. I need a floorstander (so the Raidho 2.1 is not an option) as I have already got Lumen White monitors in my larger listening room. For my second system I need excellent smaller speakers that match my Ayre gear. Do you remember which ... | |
| Magico V2 vs. Q1 Stereotaipei: I appreciate your posts and your system very much - great sounding gear, very well balanced comments. To support you in your quest for an edge-of-the-art speaker as a (nice) alternative to Magico I highly recommend Lumen White Artisa... | |
| Ayre AX-5 Integrated Amplifier Has anyone compared the AX-5 to the K-5xeMP + V-5xe combo ? | |
| Playback Designs Doggiehowser: I use Ayon CD-5s as well running directly either into Ayre V-5xe or Ayon Crossfire PA power amp feeding a pair of Lumen White Aquilla speakers through an all cabled Crystal Cable Dream system. Would you say the Playback Designs MPS 5... | |
| Lumen White? Would strongly recommend auditioning the new Lumen White Artisan. I have paired them with Ayon CD-5s, Silbatone L-100 and Ayon Crossfire PA. No other speaker using ceramic drivers (except of their top-of-the-line model) comes even close. The older... | |
| Datzeel vs Asr Emitter exclusive vs Devialet Jtinn: If I may throw in my experience with the CTH-8550, the Devialet and the Boulder 865 - which should be considered as a very nice integrated amp as well and which I currently use in my office system along with Wadia S7i, Micro Seiki SX-777FV ... | |
| Best speaker in the US $ 30-45.000,00 range Shardorne: it´s not just about the look. Their transparency, speed and coherency are better than any of the speakers that I have heard. Theis articulation is world class and the lower octaves (down to 18hz.) are simply stunning. Unfortunately Cons... | |
| Best speaker in the US $ 30-45.000,00 range Hello. Thanks for all your kind comments. I´ve opted for the Consensus speakers. A fantastic product. | |
| Avalon Acoustics vs Wilson Audio Kazman: I´d like to throw in my experience. I had Avalon Opus Ceramic and Eidolon Diamond as well as WP 8´s. I now use Consensus Audio Magma speakers - head and shoulders above both (although beeing very good products). Unfortunately Mr. Fekete of... | |
| Best tube pre-amp below US $ 10.000,00 ? Would like to add Ayon Audio. Just bought Ayon Spheris with the ReGenerator up-grade - simply put: the best (tube) pre I have ever heard. The smaller Polaris perfectly fits in the sub $ 10.000,00 category and is simply outstanding as well ! | |
| Ayre MX-R VS Vitus SS-010 Audiozen: Sorry but I totally have to disagree with you. Vitus for sure is a very good product but for sure it does not trunch Boulder, FM Acoustics and Goldmund for e.g.I have replaced the SS-010 with the Boulder 865 and couldn´t be happier. A hu... | |
| dCS Scarlatti vs Wadia 931+921 @Classicjazz: I currently own Wadia S7i (great device) and I´m thinking in the same direction as Karajan. Have you ever tried the Boulder 2020 together with the Metronome Kalista ? Have you any experience with the big Esoterics (0-series) or the l... | |
| Turntables better than a Wadia 861SE w/ Statement Gnsc: Hi Steve. As GNSC does not provide mods to european 230 volt devices anymore... I´m not saying ;-) | |
| Wadia 381 vs. dcs Puccini vs. EmmLabs CDSA SE utlover: thanks for the hint - I know that the S7i is a red book-only player. Thats why I choosed it. |
