Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble?
    I had the same Konus phono stage in my system, it was noisy and the dealer (Gestalt) had zero idea how to troubleshoot and instead blamed my turn table at the time. The venerable Rega P10...Sounded decent, if you were willing to tolerate the... 
Whatever happened to Aesthetix Pallene Preamp?
It's coming back out this January.   
ELECTROCOMPANIET ECI 6 DX MKII
It is supposed to be VERY good..I would disagree with earlier posts and say this unit is better than the Sim Audio, which is old tech now with their new north series.   
Need new speakers to pair with my Luxman MQ88uc amp
@bfoura   do you still have your Luxman CL-38uC?  
Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile
@jackd  I am on the east coast NC….Did your friend notice any reduction in bass from the Absicce to the Voce? I was comparing these two models and thinking of going with the Voce.  I feel like I understand what that tweeter is doing now having li... 
Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile
Im exactly 10 feet from the listening position to the speaker baffle, took a measurement.  
Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile
@jackd To give you an idea of my system. I have a Sugden FBA800 Pure Class A amplifier,  (neutral to warm, fast, and juicy sound), Audio Research LS28SE Preamp, Totaldac  Triunity DAC, and Innuos Pulsar Streamer. The system overall tends to lean ... 
Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile
@jackd Thank you for your reply I was actually going to reach out from a post of yours in another thread. My room has me sitting about 8-9 feet from the speakers just to give you an idea of that aspect of the system. Picture a rectangle and the s... 
Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile
I have them broken in, they’re wonderful...Livlier than the Bliss for sure, and the mid range is still to die for similar to the bliss but more real-life. The one thing I would like to have more of is bass. It tends to be overall a tigher, cleaner... 
Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile
I now have the Cantabile Jubile, just took delivery today. The Bliss were so wonderful I am now exploring the line. The CJs are showing the SAME limitations upon breaking them in. Tight, stiff, congested on certain passages, occasionally shouty. S... 
SPEAKER CABLE OR INTERCONNECT
@tvad No not both for that price, the Tron ended up being direct through the distributor who was much easier to deal after the trust deficit Colin created, a much more ethical person to deal with IMO. I paid the freight on that one and those exp... 
SPEAKER CABLE OR INTERCONNECT
The Tron Was average...The Phono with the issue was a different one, Konus. Sounded great, but couldn't resolve the issue it had.   
SPEAKER CABLE OR INTERCONNECT
@tvad   That is not true...My first post details the issue and how he gave me a hard time about the unit sent. The amount of the shipping wasn’t the primary issue, it was the way he handled the situation and wanted to charge me for a unit that ... 
SPEAKER CABLE OR INTERCONNECT
@tvad   No this is a disagreement in principle that he sent me a unit that was either defective or incompatible with my TT and then blamed my TT and became difficult when I decided I want to return it.   
SPEAKER CABLE OR INTERCONNECT
@jl35 yes i paid for the return shipping, he tried to charge me for the shipping to me and a fee, I was mistaken in what I said above. The issue surrounded the charge for shipping back and a fee which was predicated on the fact the unit did not wo...
