| Synthesis Amplifiers: One of High End's Best Kept Secrets? Side note, purchased a Chord Mscaler. Really adds a benefit to the A40 when using its internal DAC. | |
| Synthesis Amplifiers: One of High End's Best Kept Secrets? My Synthesis A40 still is running without issue except for a humming upon warm up. Also, I can get some audible noise when changing volumes. Is this normal? Deja VU did not seem concerned with it. | |
| Transparent Audio Quality Audio Note Lexus cable. The AN will change the sound signature, but clarity is on par with the Transparent Ref cable IMHO. Plus it matches better with my Accuphase and Franco serblin speakers. | |
| Transparent Audio Quality Just sold my Transparent Ref MM2 SC and regretted immediately until I found a good replacement at the fraction of the cost. Good cable, but at an outrageous price. Will I purchase Transparent again, NO, and the only reason is because of the cost. ... | |
| Synthesis Amplifiers: One of High End's Best Kept Secrets? Well, before I jump off the A-70 bandwagon, I just upgraded to the Audio Note Lexus cable and it made a huge difference in the solid state amp from the previous AN cable. The AN-LA cable sounded fine with the synthesis, but did not sound good with... | |
| Synthesis Amplifiers: One of High End's Best Kept Secrets? To be honest, I do not know. I have yet to use the remote. He just mentioned it. I just cannot seem to go back to my Accuphase A-70 after the purchase of the A40. I just enjoy listening to it. Is it because it is the new toy, perhaps. It is just... | |
| Franco Serblin R.I.P. What happens to Ktema? Old post, but will answer anyway. The Ktemas is on the opposite spectrum than the B&W speakers. KTEMAS are warm and smooth while the B&W are analytical. Ktemas siund similiar to traditional SF speakers. | |

| Synthesis Amplifiers: One of High End's Best Kept Secrets? As stated above, I am now an owner of the A40 for about week or so. I am currently listening to the onboard DAC via USB cable from my streamer. Yes, it sounds great with a warm sound signature. In contrast, when I listen to the A40 with my Accupha... | |
| Need to build a headphone system I visited JS Audio in Bethesda, MD and they had a RAAL system. I live in the Washington DC area. I have not explored elsewhere. To bad you did not go to CanJam NY couple months back. After my posting last night, I believe the RAAL system may be w... | |
| Need to build a headphone system Greetings, and welcome to the headphone community. I dove into head-fi in 2015 when I moved to Japan. I too, have listened to many headphones on the market. The previous two suggestions, the Woo WA5 with Sennhieser HD800S is a very good suggestio... | |
| Simaudio versus Accuphase? Wow, I posted this 8 years ago. Interesting posts...haha..... | |
| Synthesis Amplifiers: One of High End's Best Kept Secrets? I purchased the Synthesis A40 to power my Dali Epicon 2 monitors. When I got home I connected the A40 to my primary system consisting of Franco Serblin Ktemas. Needless to say, the amp never left the primary system and now powers my Ktemas. Plenty... | |
| NAD M10 vs Marantz Model 30 Personally purchased the NAD M10 V2 couple weeks back. I went from a Simaudio Class A/B to Diavelet 140 to this. At the fraction of the cost it meets everything I need to meet my downsize goal. Speakers Dali Epicon 2 in small room. | |
| WHAT HAPPENED TO SONUS FABER? Twoleftears requested I give an impression of the FS Ktemas. Truly, the Franco Serblin website explains the history of the design of the speakers, so I will refrain in giving a background and post the link: http://www.francoserblin.it/home.php?lan... |
