| Naim Nait 2 vs. Rega Mira 3 Update. I have tried several amps to replace the Nait 2 and have found none that I like better. Tried Sugden, Lavardin, and several others. I can't put my finger on what I like, but I am stuck with it. I have a 47 Labs Shigaraki digital rig no... | |
| Naim Nait 2 vs. Rega Mira 3 I am still happily using the Niat 2. I recently changed to a Naim CDX, and I am not sure I like it more than the Planet. As people have said about the CDX, it is pretty unforgiving. And, it seems to add a bit of sibilance that I have not heard bef... | |
| Small and Excellent Speakers Proac Response 2. You can get a pair for less than $1,000 now. | |
| Naim Nait 2 vs. Rega Mira 3 I went back to the Nait 2 for anyone who is tracking this. The Mira just didn't excite me as much and didn't sound quite as real. | |
| Naim Nait 2 vs. Rega Mira 3 Arthur, I see what you are getting at, but I hear the same kind of character in the phono section as I do in the CD section. I am going to give it some more time, but my first instincts are almost always right on these things. | |
| Naim Nait 2 vs. Rega Mira 3 I've heard the 5i and don't really like it. To me the Nait 2 sounds more natural and not as hi-fi. I do not want to admit that the Rega sounds more hi-fi because I like the company (I have a cdp and truntable/arm/cart from them) and their philosop... | |
| anyone have setup tips on an old Koetsu Black? Thanks for the tip Kehut. I think I'll be going with the Blue Dot Precision arm wand. I hear that the precision helps steady the Koetsu well. But, I have to say that on my yellow dot non-precision it already sounds captivating. Another fella alos ... | |
| Small CD Players The Flatfish is nice and small but very expensive. Get the 47 Shigaraki transport and dac to save some money and not lose much performance. | |
| Has anyone heard the 47 labs Shigaraki DAC? Wire strippers. It's a tedious and dangerous job. It's a good thing 47 gives you 50 meters in the kit! As long as you make a clean cut through the insulation it comes off with just a little coaxing. | |
| Has anyone heard the 47 labs Shigaraki DAC? This is more than a tweak; it dramatically changes the sound for the better. I don't understand how it works, but it certainly does. Yoshi recommends painting the wire with enamel, but the enamel has a tendency to crack off leaving the wire expose... | |
| Has anyone heard the 47 labs Shigaraki DAC? I responded back in June that I had heard the full Shigaraki system. Finally, after waiting several months for the equipment to come in, I own the full system sans phono section (which I will buy later). It is superlative. Everything just sounds s... | |
| Powerful Integrated amp for Proac Super Tablettes Thanks very much for all of your help, all. Zonus, I am looking for a powerful amp because I hear that the speakers are notoriously insensitive. And the friend I need this amp for has exhibited little interest in tubes. I have all sorts of tube re... | |
| Is it worth it? I agree with Edesilva. I have Proac 1S which I run with a full 47 Labs Shigaraki system (amp, transport, dac, cabling). The sound is very musical and involving. And the Audio Research matched to Proac is a winning combiation. I heard Proac Respons... | |
| Has anyone heard the 47 labs Shigaraki DAC? I heard the full Shigaraki system last night. I still have vivid memories of the experience. I have owned about 50 pieces of hi-fi in the last 4 years; nothing prepared me for the sound of this system for the money. I have heard better systems, bu... | |
| LISTENER Magazine...What Do You Think? The great thing about Listener is that you get the impression that they are more honest in their reviews than Stereophile. When a Listener reviewer does not like a component you know it from reading the review; you don't have to read between the l... |
