Hi all,finally a review on this amp.https://www.soundstageultra.com/index.php/equipment-menu/1038-msb-technology-s202-stereo-amplifierI liked what I heard at the shop, but in my set-up I will have the possibility to audition the S201 which I guess... | |
| Review on Coda Technologies 16 Amplifier went live today @teajay Thank you for coming back, really appreciated. The midrange in the Pass (X250.5) is great. I guess I will have to hear Coda in order to make up my mind. Have you had the chance to compare it to the integrated CSIb?Cheers, Mike | |
| Review on Coda Technologies 16 Amplifier went live today @teajay Hi Teajay, I had Coda CSIB 5 years ago driving Avalon Indra (89db, 4 Ohm, quite power hungry). Nice, but a bit too laid back for my taste. So I replaced it by Pass X250.5 which is a superb amp particular in the middle range with tube-l... | |
| Stealth Audio I have been exchanging e-mails with him the latest one today. No issues so far. | |
| Stealth Audio loudspeaker cables - time to replace after almost 10 years? Hi all,thank you for coming back. Anyone has got experience with the speaker cable "Dream Petite V16"?Cheers and thank youMike | |
| After Cary 306 SACD Pro - which one? Hi Zd542, thank you and your reply is clear. As you may know, Cary is no longer selling CD players such as the one I have. Therefore, I will have to pick another brand and I certainly want one which is capable of handling SACD very well. What othe... | |
| Wilson Wat Puppy 7 or Avalon Opus Ceramique? Hi Goatwuss, which very good monitor would you recommend? Cheers. Mike | |
| No CD with works by Alexander N. Skrjabin Hi all, thank you...it was all down to the spelling. As Eweedhome noted, my spelling was not wrong, just not used on this side of the world. Regards from Switzerland | |
| Best power amp for Avalon Opus Ceramique Hello Frankpiet and Sphere,I have the Opus Ceramique along with X2.5/X150.5. Most of the cabling is NBS Omega I (speaker / power & pre) and the Stealth Indra for Cary 306 SACD & pre-amp. I compared the NBS Omega I for source/pre with the T... | |
| Pass X1 / X250 - how to get a bit foregivable ??? Hello Rocou,I just bought the combo X2.5/X150.5 which is more or less comparable to your set-up. I've never listened to the X150 or X250 but, acc. to my dealer, the .5 is regarded as "warmer". OK, let's move on to the cabling : you should definiti... | |
| Can I go wrong with Stealth Indra ? Hi rgwrjs,your post was of particular interest to me as you use NBS. I'm assuming that you still use NBS, at least its speaker cable (I read some of your posts in AA). Where do you deploy the Indra : from source/preamp or preamp/amp (that was not ... | |
| What i/c to use and mix with NBS ? Hi Rcprince,thanks for your response. I guess I will have to come up with some patience - I have to confess that this is not one of my strength - that is, allow for my new system to settle in and for me to form a baseline. The problem is that audi... | |
| Got NBS Omega I cables - Shunyata Hydra now ? Hello Jafox, Tvad and Warrenhthank you for your replies. The main problem is that it is almost impossible for me to audition the Shunyata or NBS here in Switzerland ! There are no dealers, particularly for Shunyata. In other words, I would have to... | |
| How to improve my system : Shunyata Hydra ? Hi Aaron,in the meantime Walter from NBS identified the issue with the powerchords Monitor IV and said that they were not up to the NBS Omega I I'm using as interconnect & speaker cables. I guess he will say that the best would be to buy Omega... | |
| How to improve my system : Shunyata Hydra ? Hello allthank you all for your replies. I'm aware my mail is not the easiest to tackle and can be truly confusing at times.First, why did I change to NBS ? I heard a system entirely on NBS Monitor III with Pass and Avalon Opus Ceramique and it wa... |
