Avid acustus reference vs TW acustic raven AC3 I posted a summary of what I thought of the carts under my system thread. Never tried the Breuer/Allaert myself. | |
Rockport Mira VS Verity Parsifal Ovation Changster, which city are you in? Singapore or HK | |
Rockport Mira VS Verity Parsifal Ovation Other good choices are Evolution acoustics, Vandersteen, YG acoustcs, Tidal. These let you customize bass alignment via electrical adjustment or mechanical adjustment.Ankaa is significantly better than Mira and probably best deal in the line up. | |
Rockport Mira VS Verity Parsifal Ovation Last year, I did a speaker hunt too with Rockport Verity(aquila & sarastro 2)being prime candidates. Both great speakers with different design approaches. If you want to run tubes, Verity would open you to more choices. My general observation ... | |
Why are there so many Mac users? Can mac be used to download and playback 24/96 and 24/192 files via external DAC? Where can I learn more to setup a mac based server playbacl system? | |
Avid acustus reference vs TW acustic raven AC3 I have the Phantom 2, triplanar 7 and davinci. Carts owned include xv1T, PC1, Coralstone, ultraeminent, titan i; brief experience with PC1 supreme.Davinci floats the soundstage best with more airy presentation. My favourite is ultraeminent BC from... | |
Notes on Harbeth, Vandersteen, Avalon & Spendor I have owned spendor, Avalons. Currently still have Harbeth m30 and Verity speakers. We may share listening taste. When I had the Diamonds, they always sound better with warmer Class A SS or tubes. Trouble is not many tube amps have sufficient pow... | |
Avid acustus reference vs TW acustic raven AC3 Footfall issue was related to contruction of the house. Major problem with 70+yr old house I was in. In my currenly 12 yr old house, it is less of an issue. | |
Avid acustus reference vs TW acustic raven AC3 I have owned the Acutus with new motor (not Ref) and Raven AC1. Not exact model you are asking but similar. Acutus: More detailed and airy presentation. I had severe footfall issues with suspended wood floor. I need to sneak around like a ninja to... | |
driving Verity Audio Parsifal Ovations? Mark, I use two M800a on the Sarastro2 and currently experimenting with vertical biamp vs bridged. Even with 93db, the increased power in bridged config offer more grip to the bass. Biamp adds delicacy and significant increase in frontal to back i... | |
driving Verity Audio Parsifal Ovations? IMHO, class A produce better texture and grip within the power range. The M800a is rated at 60W into 8ohms but will provide 160W into 8ohms before clipping according to stereophile measurements and over 200W into 4. 590a probably do more than 30W ... | |
Is active speaker the future? I was very interested in active pro speakers and got a pair of Mackie ($1200 for the pair) . It is not that bad but could not beat an Arcam reciever biamping Harbeth M30. It did play louder with good control but transparency was poor. It was missi... | |
driving Verity Audio Parsifal Ovations? My system is somewhat similar to the one you are building. The M800a was much better than X350.5 that I had in bass control, detail and refinement. I also briefly owned the 590A and it was a spectacular piece. It had tons of function (phonostage, ... | |
SS Amp to replace VAC 300.1 in a side-ways move? I owned the phi 300.1 and the Luxman M800a. The Luxman has a very similar tonal balance as the VAC with better macrodynamics. The VAC is slightly smoother a triode mode. Both these amps are much better in mono config. and i was surprised because I... | |
