| Tube or SS for Sonus Faber Amati Homage Davidlin: "Who is right and what do you use?" I believe that *current* is useful in order to get homogeneity out of the speakers but the rest is really up to your musical tastes IMO... I listen to classical. I have enjoyed the Amati with YBA Passi... | |
| Audio Physic Virgos...... I enjoyed these for a while. Upline I had a S. Yorke TT/ Symphonic Line Ref cdp /CAT III & S-Line Klangquelle pre / Bearlabs cables / and played with some amps. Generally found that the more current available the better -- i.e., no compression... | |
| Violin Concertos Thanks, Sugarbrie... | |
| Violin Concertos Sugar, interesting! What's the ref for Shumsky/Davis Beethoven? I couldn't locate it... Cheers | |
| Designs on the Genesis 1.1 Reference? Enjoy, Mrpoindexter! | |
| Most Sublime Beethoven Symphony I'll offer more traditional performances of 3-6-9. 3: An old Karajan ('50s), Furtwangler, Klemperer, Walter; 6: Furtwangler. 9: Furtwangler, the old Karajan from the 60s. Don't remember the exact refs now, but mail me if interested. Cheers! | |
| SILVERLINE SONATA II-giant killer? Bob, maybe you can extrapolate from the following info, or narrow down yr choices... Pls note that I listen to classical music mainly and blues, so my opinion is biased in that respect. Also, it's my ears and tastes, i.e. YMMV.First: your amps are... | |
| Qualitative test of Auric Illuminator Thanks, Sean! | |
| Qualitative test of Auric Illuminator The improvements may be (partly) the result of removing static electricity from the disc. I have found that treating discs with a bog-standard antistatic cleaner improves "liquidity" and, yes, introduces a perception of better dynamics as if the c... | |
| Best used 500 1m XLR interconnects A lesser known brand to consider is Bearlabs. They retail at less than $500 new and I chose them for MY system over more expensive silver Siltechs and SPM. Good luck! | |
| new speakers/used/demo- 4K- 6K Bob52r, based on your 6/29 post I believe that Piega, Avalon, and Audio Physic speakers could match your taste. Another option to consider is a stat (a medium-sized Soundlab perhaps?). I have never listened to the speakers above with your amps, so... | |
| BEST CHOICE OF INTERCONNECTS I second Jdevine's suggestion to audition. Flat cables should be one choice (e.g. Nordost, goertz), bearlabs (borrow from the site), siltech, and purist -- all have relatively different geometries & can give you alead to what *type* of cable a... | |
| What would you use Twl above speaks for me, too. To add a technical note, it helps if the system correctly reproduces harmonics, timbres, has pitch... Of course, a better recording helps! | |
| Resistor value for interconnect I strongly second Audiopath's suggestions. I can also add that results will not only be better but SAFER! If Theta or Wadia are not to your liking, other choices abound... Cheers | |
| Clash of the Titans Hi Tekunda,Your experience with Kronzilla + A1 interests me too, immensely. Since you're in Germany, any chance you can try Symphonic Line's Kraft 250 with the same speakers? I've been trying to find the Soundlab model I listened to with the Kraft... |
