| Speakers or Amp Xt, I didn't know there was an issue (with Magico) or a hatchet to bury?..thanks for enlightening me. Re: Raidho. Yes, their drivers are certainly fast and accurate. Magico's latest graphene and diamond-coated beryllium drivers however are lighter... | |
| Speakers or Amp Xt, not arguing or seeking to argue with you about Magico vs Raidho. Your opinion of the build quality of the Raidho C3.1 is a good example of the human condition in a sense; why two people can look at the same object and espouse completely differ... | |

| Speakers or Amp Xt, it is possible with the D series Raidho's Chinese supplier improved the cabinets. My experience is based on the Raidho C3.1 which the OP specifically mentioned. | |
| Starting from scratch ..need advice from you Denon, I am not familiar with the Plinius Hiato, but I have heard the RI-100. It obviously has similar power on paper to the Plinius. Build quality is very good as with all Vitus products. I would describe the sound as powerful, smooth and on the ... | |
| New CD player, Transport or DAC? Rzado, as you're referring to a discontinued Emm product, perhaps it would be helpful if you mention specific models? | |
| Red Book/SACD Advise Wanted Communiquel, firstly congrats on your very nice system! Your price limit somewhat restricts options, never the less I can recommend the Modwright Sony XA-5400ES which you should be able to pickup in good 2nd hand shape within your budget. Dan Wrig... | |
| Avalon Vic, the answer to your first question is "yes". Cables matter. I don't have any experience with the HA or Gabriel cables. Though The Avalon Eidolons sound natural and coherent to my ears. If you wnat to continue with that theme, I can recommend e... | |
| Speakers or Amp Ric, given the choice strictly between the JRDG 625 mk2 & Capri 2 or Raidho C3.1's, I would go for the upgraded Rowland amps. The reason being the Raidho's have very average build quality & are way over-priced imho. And I know from whence ... | |
| Single vs Dual Power Transformers Atmasphere is right. My Vitus SIA-025 integrated uses a single Vitus-designed UI-core potted "floating" transformer with separate windings for the left & right channels. Isolating the transformer in a potted, "floating" magnetically sheilded e... | |
| Starting from scratch ..need advice from you As a general principle, I prefer quality over quantity. I also run my bluray dvd player through my integrated amp to watch movies, though I take the purist approach and stick to 2 channel music which is my priority. Keeping it simple and focusing ... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable 10-28-15: TonykayThis thread has gone on long enough-I'm out!+ 1. | |
| New CD player, Transport or DAC? 10-28-15: Dylanfan6000.00 is out of my budget. PS Audio looks great but....I need something for 1/2 of that.Dylan, Music Direct have an ex-demo PS Audio DirectStream dac for $4799 if you're interested which you should easily be able to negotiate d... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable Acman, every comment has context, and I don't have the time or inclination to explain why Tonkay's comment wasn't a personal attack as you assume, but an expression of frustration and mirth in equal measure created by an audiophile anomaly we affe... | |
| New CD player, Transport or DAC? Dylan, it depends on your budget & whether you want a tubed or ss dac. A lot of people think highly of the PS Audio DirectStream dac. There are also a lot of good tube dacs like Lampizator and PS Audio. I'm obviously a fan of Vitus Audio. |
