| My New Bel Canto DAC 2 Hi Tbadder. Iused to own the 1.1 and sold it in favor of a Kora Hermes, so your comments are very interesting to me. I'm sure your DAC2 will only get better and gain musicality as it breaks in. What do you have it mated to? Bel Canto is a great co... | |
| Sonus Faber Owners - Some Input Please I used to own Concertinos, and at the time had them matched with a Simaudio Moon I-5. I didn't much care for the combo when I was using DH Labs Silversonic T14 interconnects and speaker cables, but greatly preferred the sound with Analysis Plus Ov... | |
| Name 3 classic mini-monitors worth keeping- Why? I don't know if this quite qualifies as a classic, but I will nominate the discontinued ProAc Tablette 50 Signature. I own a pair of these tiny gems, and if fed with a good upstream signal they sing loud and gloriously. For such little speakers th... | |
| Sellers Who "Didn't Know" or the Convenient Excuse Recently, I placed an ad on Audiogon to sell my Bel Canto DAC1.1. The DAC says "1" on it, but nowhere does it have "1.1", not even on the back. I bought this from a very reputable Audiogon merchant, so I never questioned it and forgot about it. Ho... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Grandpad. I own the Blue Circle BC21 preamp and BC22 amp combo and I love them. The BC21 is a tube preamp which uses two 6SN7s, while the BC22 is solid state. Together they sound very liquid and musical, but at the same time dynamic. If you go ... | |
| Has anyone heard the Kora hermes connected to a .. That's a tough call. I use the Kora Hermes with a Theta Pearl transport, so that would probably fall into the category you mention. You'd really have to compare the two side by side, because your Cary IS a very good piece. It's interesting that Lj... | |
| Has anyone heard the Kora hermes connected to a .. Hi Bradz. I own the Kora Hermes with all that new stuff [Auricaps, cryo'd Jena Labs wiring, etc...] inside it , and I really love it. Just as Ljgj says, 3d would be a good way to describe one of the attributes of the Kora. It has this plus more ai... | |
| AudioMeca vs. AudioAero vs. Electrocompaniet Because of this thread, I've learned more about these three great players than in any magazine or online review I've ever read. Good job AudiogoNers! | |
| Which direction would you go? Hi Mike. It seems to me that you've assembled a system that is definitely not your tastes, specifically revealing SS amps mated to revealing speakers. Maybe the first thing you should consider is a tube preamp to go with the Threshold, and if that... | |
| Full range sound for little room Hi Vlad. I'm quite happy with a set up which includes a pair of little ProAc Tablette 50 Signatures mated to an NHT SW3P subwoofer. The NHT isn't the best sub out there, but it does a good job of filling out the bottom end very naturally in my 12 ... | |
| Amp Suggestions For A Newbie - Please Fullrun, you might want to take a look at a Sonic Frontiers Anthem Integrated 2 that is up for sale on Audiogon. The seller wants $650 for it. To be honest, I don't know a thing about this integrated, but based on the good reviews by forum members... | |
| Amp Suggestions For A Newbie - Please Hi Fullrun.Are you looking for an integrated or just an amp? Do you already have the preamp? I've heard the 602s in a store and have heard a few different Paradigm monitors, but never the v20s. I understand the v20s are very nice. From my brief ex... | |
| Who has tried Virtual Dynamics cables? Bro, it'll be interesting what if any difference you'll experience in the change. I hope they're better. I went straight with the Power 2s and they were a definite improvement over the Absolute PCs in my system. Hopefully the cryo'd Auditions I'm ... | |
| Anyone use a POWERED SUB with Center Channel? I can remember reading in an issue of Widescreen Review how many of the staff reviewer's systems contained multiple subs, but never on the center channel. I can't remember what the reasoning for this was, since they all had subs on their surrounds... | |
| Who has tried Virtual Dynamics cables? Hi Ed. I know that the Audition PC is a triple strand design, where the similarly priced Power 1 which is designed for big monoblocks, is a single super suspension bridge thick cable. I think the level of filtering also goes up with the Reference ... |
