| Bardo and 10.5 vs Stabi S and 4point 9 this looks pretty old , but Im putting a 9" 4point on a brinkmann oasis this week | |
| Soundsmith - Hyperion vs lyra ETNA @fjn04 @dodgealum Concerning the the EMT lime.. I will start with the words of my wife while listing to Nora Jones. "All I can say is it sound perfectly real" She has an ear, knows the gear and goes to the shows. Never had I heard such a perfe... | |
| Soundsmith - Hyperion vs lyra ETNA Lime gets in tomorrow. It was set up by a really high end dealer on a brinkmann oasis. I will let you know by the end of the week. The fella that set it up said it’s sounding really good. It was his first time with an EMT and sounded really deli... | |
| Soundsmith - Hyperion vs lyra ETNA @dodgealum @dodgealum honestly. That’s what they recommend. I think there about the same thing. I own the 6.0 now. It’s amazing. That’s why I’m staying in the line. It does have a ceiling. A very high one, but it’s there. Nothings wrong it’s ... | |
| Soundsmith - Hyperion vs lyra ETNA So I ended up going with a new EMT. The EMT Lime. Here is why.I called a dealer that sold both EMT and SoundSmith.. Feed back went a fallows.Soundsmith was more coherent, cleaner and a bit more polished sounding. EMT came off with a bit more text... | |
| Soundsmith - Hyperion vs lyra ETNA @drrsutliff I would say that would be so with the VPI combo. They are known to be a good match. I have heard that VPI and Lyra can be too much of the same thing. | |
| Soundsmith - Hyperion vs lyra ETNA @karl_desch I also have a broken Lyra Helicon setting in a shelf because it was going to be 1700 and 6 months to rebuild it. @dodgealum I own the emt 6.0 I dont know how to explain it. I can best compare to Harbeth speakers. They tell me the same ... | |
| Soundsmith - Hyperion vs lyra ETNA Karl, any experience with EMT? I have heard the Alas a few times and it’s either perfect or too sharp and on the verge of thin in the upper register. With Vandersteens it was perfect. Etna just losses that. And perhaps you’re right, the Atlas i... | |
| Soundsmith - Hyperion vs lyra ETNA If you mean mid range bump by warm, no. I would disagree with that. I Would say the timber is very honest. it’s on the darker side though. It’s clashing between transparent and dark. I cannot say I’m lacking detail. The AQ zero gets a lot out of... | |
| Soundsmith - Hyperion vs lyra ETNA Right now EMT 6.0 Brinkman oasis, Analysis plus phono cable, Shindo Masseto with AU 23- SUT, CJ LP125+ amp, AQ Thunderbird speaker cable. Wilson Sabrina speakers. | |
| Soundsmith - Hyperion vs lyra ETNA You are right. The EMT is not in the same category. That is why I'm looking to upgrade. I know the soundsmith and the Lyra are the next level. I'm more looking to see about the character. If the EMT had a "next level" I think I would be moving up ... | |
| Audioquest Firebird Zero Ricred1, I have got to do the lower end comparison. I bought the Thunderbird zero and replaced it Clarus Aqua. Its the same deal. I have a new Level of clarity. I am hearing deeper sounds. New vibrations off the interments. ive lost breath and bl... | |
| Conrad Johnson LP125sa and ET5 I just picked up this combo for 8k from a store close out deal. They are going with the DS Psaudio dac and ryan speakers. we will see. | |
| Is upgrading pre worth it? I got rid of the denon. I got the Rogue pre 99 super magnum. It sounds pretty good. I also bought the Antelope zodiac DAC pre. A hand full of people not knowing what’s what for gear, but with a pretty legit music background thought the Zodiac alon... | |
| Is upgrading pre worth it? Thanks for all the help. I will tell you results asap. Will be listing thew a pair of Fritz Carb 7se's |
