Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270
I think we should keep this thread limited to the feedback on the Tenor and Berning amps. If Audiogon allows dealers who are also the sole distributors for other products to state an amp they sell is better than those mentioned, we defeat the idea... 
spikes under a subwoofer ?
We have found the same problem Dinos describes above. We have found that spikes into a wood floor; even through carpet does indeed mess up the midrange etc. We have found that something simple and cheap under even stock spikes make a huge differen... 
which DAC to buy ?
The Keops just dropped in price. Was sold for $2800 just a couple of months ago. When you sold the 18 bit (older) Kora it sold for more than $1000 over the current price. Mr. Iasi has still not responded to whether or not it was an older Kora or o... 
which DAC to buy ?
Was that the 24/192 Hermes or the older 18 bit? We have had many customers compare to the Enkinanthus and prefer the Kora. Different strokes for different folks I guess. 
which DAC to buy ?
The Kora Hermes must be giving the Audiomeca product a run for it's money or I doubt you would have seen such a challenge from a product that costs over twice as much. look at the preferences from above threads. Part of the story is in the power s... 
Outputs on Kora Hermes DAC?
Hello,The Hermes has a balanced input but only RCA outputs (Single Ended) 
A quick question?
Did you try the cheater plug on the pre-amp? Also try a shielded interconnect.

First of all let me state that I was told by Kora initially that the units would upsample. It was only recently that I found out it oversampled from another manufacturer who recognized the chip. I aploogize and changed my ad's immediately upon fin... 
Dealer warning - credit card scam
Same thing happened to me. Guy would only work through e-mail. Wouldn't call. Wanted a bunch of Nordost cable. Card was rejected three times. Said he owned a stereo store in Indonesia.

After receiving the feedback from Gary regarding the Vibrapods under the transformers I forwarded his findings to Kora USA. Regardless of their decision in this matter I have decided to offer that upgrade to customers who purchase the units from u...

SINCE I PLACE CONES IN A TRIANGULAR CONFIGURATION I HAD TO AFFIX THE CONES WITH ONE DROP OF SUPER GLUE GEL. THE STOCK CONFIGURATION UTILIZES 4 CONES.

Thanks Jerry. As a footnote I have just received the final pricing from Kora U.S.A today as we were told it was probably going to be around $2500. It turns out that the new price will be $2600. Sorry for the confusion. Apparently the upgrades were... 
Hotrod your Hermes
As noted, the upgrades are worth doing on the older units But I will dispute the value on a new Hermes. In addition it's different strokes for differnt folks in regards to which capacitor is the best. Many people who modify products feel the Auric...

YES THAT IS WHAT I AM SAYING. tk4qmmtGood idea Glreno. Let me know if it makes any difference. 
Hotrod your Hermes
The cost of the new Hermes already reflects 99% of the mods mentioned by Glreno except for different parts used in the mods which is more a question of taste than what is better or not. The new Hermes is in line with the new Reference series which...
