| Search for miracle integrated Not many serious high end amp manufacturers have the ability to design and manufacture a high end cd player (Vitus, Soulution, MBL, Zanden, Accuphase & Audionote come to mind). | |

| Surprising Audio Quality For critical listening in the car, or if i'm on a trip I prefer to listen to AIFF files from my AK300 over USB, but for casual listening on the commute to work or the supermarket I like to listen to radio. Though one of the pet gripes of my curre... | |
| Superb Service + 2. Dan always provides good value & excellent customer service. | |
| help buying irs beta The later High Energy Emit and Emim drivers used in the Infinity IRS speakers such as the IRS Sigma and Epsilon were quite a bit better than the previous generation, as were the IMG bass drivers vs the old polypro bass drivers. Even the Infinity R... | |
| Awesome new cables from Jorma Design! Jorma Design are definitely high end cables. Duality is now their entry level power cable, and the ic’s and sc’s are the second model in the range. Though at their price point they are great value cables imho & punch well above their weight. | |
| Search for miracle integrated Good work aardvarkbark, I agree, at that price point having the piece of mind of a local authorized service center is essential. I was adjusting some cables in my system a few months back & accidentally caused an 'arc' which blew the fuses in ... | |
| Awesome new cables from Jorma Design! jafant4,604 posts11-18-2016 1:06amTY- melbguy1will you be upgrading? Happy Listening! Hi Jafant, cheers. To answer your question, no as i’m already at the top of the Jorma line & am very happy with my cables. When the new range of Stage 3 Con... | |
| Awesome new cables from Jorma Design! @audioman58, sorry I didn’t want to make the thread sound like a Dealer advert since i’m just a happy end user. But fyi, the new Duality cables as I mentioned are about the same price as the old No.2. The below indicative prices are for No.2 cable... | |
| Search for miracle integrated @aardvarkbark, I'm not 100% sure about that. I would check specifically with either Bob at Rhapsody Audio in NYC or Mike at Suncoast Audio who are both Vitus dealers. I would be *very* surprised if there was no authorized repairer in the US. With ... | |
| Awesome new cables from Jorma Design! @ebm, In my system I use Jorma Prime xlr’s, pc’s & Jorma Statement sc’s, plus one Jorma Unity pc . I previously had a full loom of Jorma Origo (incl: biwire sc's) and enjoyed my time with those cables. | |
| Search for miracle integrated @aardvarkbark, good move on the INT-250. The pass has tube-like sweetness. warmth & a forgiving top end, along with the control to get the best out of the D2's which still have a brightish top end. For the same reason I think Vitus would work ... | |
| The best sounding Audio Research Line Stage preamp If cost was no object, up to the Ref 6, the best sounding ARC linestage was the Ref 40th Anniversary, though it’s unclear if the Ref 6 would pip it overall. On a budget, I’d pick up an SP-11 Mk2 any day of the week & get it modded/refurbed by ... | |
| Advice on a preamp YW Shamus. The Pass INT-250 is $12kUS. I crunched some numbers & reckon if you sold your current amps & used up your max budget you would be close. I think the Pass will give you all the qualities you’re looking for & would be a killer... | |
| Advice on a preamp Your Monitor Audio speakers are a fairly benign load on paper (90db @4 ohms) and sound transparent and quite resolving, so you don’t need a massively powerful amp, but the PL300’s need some tube-like liquidity & musicality. So i’m going to thr... |
