| Search for miracle integrated I am looking for a company that spends very little on marketing and works to move as much of the value for the money to the product itself. Very high value is important to me, I want to get value above the price and I don’t want to pay for anythin... | |
| bat rex vs cary slp 05!!! Firstly, if you’re comparing the Bat Rex II vs the Cary SLP-05, bare in mind they are not really comparable in design or price. Yes they are both two-chassis preamps, but the BAT is $25k & is a full on 18 tube balanced preamp with a multi-regu... | |

| What do audiophiles want from a cable? I use Jorma Prime and Statement cables in my $200k system which sound natural, smooth/liquid, slightly warm (Prime) to neutral (Statement), harmonically rich & sophisticated. They also have excellent resolution and sound staging without ever s... | |
| Help, my system sounds lifeless! In the $3-$4k price range, there are some Reference 3A Grand Veena's FS on USA Audio Mart atm asking $3900CAD which would punch well above their price point - http://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649301570-reference-3a-grand-veena-speakers/ | |
| Subwoofer options for Magnepan with crossover betwen pre and amp? Just to throw another option into the mix, have you considered infrasonic generators? The Maggies are fast, so you want fast sub-bass which can keep up. Aside from possibly the Magico QSub 15, the Wilson Benesch Torus Infrasonic generator is the b... | |
| Need Suggestions for speakers up to $15K new/used I personally found the new Magico S1 Mk2’s to be better sounding than the old S5. They are remarkable speakers for the money; great sound stage width and depth, imaging, deep tight bass & very coherent sounding. There is a mint pair for sale a... | |
| Amplifier upgrade Since you already have a tube preamp & warm sounding speakers, I would go for a 2nd hand Boulder 1060. The Boulder is superbly built, natural sounding, powerful & neutral; an ideal match imho. And you can pick up 2nd hand 1060's for a rela... | |
| Experience with Tannoy Westminster Royal Gold Reference @hddg, I plan to finish my Virtual system on here once my current system is setup after a long break (hopefully in the next few wks). Good supports are important. I use Taoc ASR series II racks with FE Cerabase Classic feet & heavier SCB-RS-HC... | |
| Experience with Tannoy Westminster Royal Gold Reference Hddg, they are dream amps! Congratulations. In my apartment situation, I have some space limitations, so I have a relatively simple, high quality system comprising a pair of Magico S5 Mk2's, Vitus SCD-025 Mk2 (cdp/dac), Vitus SIA-025, Gigawatt con... | |
| Experience with Tannoy Westminster Royal Gold Reference hddg, if you pick up the pair of Mephisto amps up FS on the ’Gon right now, you will do very well. They are great amps as I said & will sound great for many years to come. I just had to correct some apparent misconceptions about Vitus amps whi... | |
| Experience with Tannoy Westminster Royal Gold Reference hddg, First of all, Is Jeff Fritz and this loyal followers the "many" people to which you refer who prefer the Mephisto solo amps over the Vitus MP-M201 mono’s? Lol! I like Jeff, but let’s just say you only have half the story. There is a very spe... | |
| Experience with Tannoy Westminster Royal Gold Reference Hddg, I think that is a pretty safe deal on the Gryphons as even if you later sell them, you should not lose much money. As I said, they are great amps. I was just trying to let you know that Vitus should be releasing new SM-103 mono's early in th... | |
| Experience with Tannoy Westminster Royal Gold Reference hddg OP15 posts10-17-2016 6:59pmThanks Melbguy1. I can go to some USD60k, and actually i am having a great and rare opportunity around that price for a pair of brand new Gryphon Mephisto Solo (230V) from Europe, that’s the monoblock version, with ... | |
| Experience with Tannoy Westminster Royal Gold Reference Hddg, that does sound like a good deal on the Gryphon Mephisto mono's. And no question they are great amps. Though I don't agree the Mephisto mono's are a grade superior to Gryphon. I can tell you, Vitus's factory is SOTA, and arguably superior to... |
