| Looking for an acoustic guitar recording.. Nils Lofgren on his CD "Acoustic Live". Incredible guitar and an amazing live recording. I agree with Stehno that the track "Keith Don't Go" is outstanding. A reference track for high end hi fi. | |
| Dali Helicon 800 Mk2 are stunning ? Ikku2,Thanks for your excellent response!Your comments make sense, and I imagine the Euphonias with good tube amplification would sound tremendous. Is it possibly that the Helicons are better suited to solid state than the Euphonias? That would be... | |
| Nordost Heimdall warm??? Markc2, I think your words have described what I have been hearing with various cables. They all seem to hold back something from reaching you, some less than others. Intially some sound very impressive but after awhile, you realise they are thiev... | |
| Dali Helicon 800 Mk2 are stunning ? Lapierre, regarding cables :The best cable combination I have tried so far is Nordost Heimdal IC which seems to fill in missing density in singing voices, to my ears, and Chord Epic Super Twin speaker cables which I found to sound open and clean, ... | |
| The most haunting music you ever heard? Alison Krauss' "Jacobs Dream" off the CD "A Hundred Miles or More" should be added to the list. Haunting and heart wrenching. | |
| Nordost Heimdall warm??? I compared the Harmonic Technology Pro Silway 3 IC with the Nordost Heimdall IC in my system, and found the Nordost seemed to fill out the notes with an increased richness. I suppose you could say it seemed warmer, as the singing voices took on mo... | |
| Dali Helicon 800 Mk2 are stunning ? I am sure the Euphonia could sound warmer, depending on the front end, cabling, room etc... Was everything else the same? I didnt experience that. I found the Helicon warmer and slighly more lively than the Euphonia. Some people wouldnt like that,... | |

| Is There any Truly "High End" Integrated Amp? Gamut DI150 - You have to hear it to believe how good it is. | |
| Dali Helicon 800. What components match with it? Just to add to my earlier comments, I am now running the 800 mk2 on a Gamut Di150 amp, and I find it highly impressive. Try this combination if you get the chance. I am looking to upgrade the speaker cables, and would be interested in any advice. ... | |
| Dali Helicon 800 Mk2 are stunning ? Lapierre, I am running a Gamut DI150 and Ayre CD player with the Helicon 800 Mk2. I think it's a superb combination. The Gamut is truly special! Cables are still under review, but at the moment, Harmonic Tech interconnects and Chord speaker cables. | |
| Dali Helicon 800 Mk2 are stunning ? Siberhuskie, I wanted to like the Focals too because of all the reviews and I tried them in various combinations but in the end, I found them a little too lean for me. I found the Dali's richer and warmer and more exciting, without losing any deta... | |

The reviews are correct!The 800 Mk2 is definitely superior in a few wa... |
