| Thoughts on Vincent SP-998/ SP-T800 Mono Blocks. @arcticdeth Yes the 998's double down into 4 Ohms and are rated 1000W into 2 Ohms. | |
| Thoughts on Vincent SP-998/ SP-T800 Mono Blocks. @drgeorgethelawyer To my knowledge the Vincent Sp998's were never manufactured for the U.S. I believe only for Europe/Asia/Australia. Good luck in your hunt. | |
| Has anyone heard System Audio Mantra Speakers? @james37 Nothing like variety James. That's why I have so many different Components/Speakers. Both those should be a completely different presentation to the SA's. Personally don't mind Spendors but not a fan of Harbeth's that I've heard.Enjoy. | |
| Has anyone heard System Audio Mantra Speakers? @james37 While in our 2nd Lockdown in Melbourne in August I managed to purchase the last pair of SA Mantra 70's at an incredible bargain. You couldn't buy the components for the price I paid!After around 100 hours these sound quite nice. Differen... | |
| Doge 8 Clarity with tube upgrade or Primaluna EVO 300 Telling us the rest of your Equipment would help. The Doge 8 has a Phono Stage, will you be utilising that? If you are not using Phono than I would definitely advise a dedicated Line only Pre-Amp. I have an earlier Doge 8, it's line stage is prett... | |
| Vincent Audio SV-500 Arriving Today istvan1976 That's interesting about the Vincent Integrated's having the same Sound Signature. I've only heard my Brother's SV-500 of their Integrated's as I'm a Seperates Person. Can tell you the Power Amps in my Collection have different Sonic Si... | |
| Long run balanced interconnects While not familiar with all your Components, the Audio Research Ref.6 is a serious bit of kit, the others while I havn't heard, have good rep's. IMO they are deserving of better XLR's than Canare. I was using Canare which does a reasonable job for... | |
| Ice Age Audio? Bought one of their Power Cables years ago. Does an ok job on the CD Players and Pre-Amps I've tried it on. Certainly an improvement over a junk kettle Cord. | |
| Any opinions on Morrow USB cable and SP5 Speaker cables? I have used Morrow SP-2, SP-4, and now SP-7. They are pretty good. I bi-wire on a couple of different sets of Speakers and find the SP-7 are great for bass. However I've found less expensive Cables that better the SP-7's on mid's/highs. | |
| Some amps I never heard of... I have the Vincent SP-T700's in my Collection. Like most Vincent Products they sound good and Punch way above their Price Point. The Tube Input gives them some Warmth and they have a nice "Punchy" Bass. They will be a Massive step up over your Rot... | |
| Which amp would you go with Not familiar with your Speakers, but I set up a Vincent SV-500 for my eldest Brother. Sounds very nice. I personally own a number of Vincent Components and most Punch way above their Price Point. | |
| Who needs a Preamp?? A "Good" Quality Active Pre-Amp brings the "Life, Soul, Emotion" to the Music. | |
| Speaker Cables for Revel Studio Ultima. @newton Yep, that's my finding. Owning a number of Power Amps, what Cables I use is dependent on Power Amp in use. | |

| What amp is best with Wilson Sasha DAW speakers @rauliruegas Any particular reason you don't own JC1's? As you seem dead keen on them. What do you own? |
