| What are the best speakers you have ever owned and why? I'm amazed about how many in this group have gone through a dozen or more pair of speakers. It almost seems a bit schizophrenic. lol When you drop some serious coin on a world class speaker, how do you lose interest so quickly. I've often wond... | |
| Kuzma/Koetsu feedbak?? @2channel8, LOL........my adjectival choice for the Luna cables could have even been worse: AWESOME!But seriously, as each of my current Hi Line and Power Line Naim cables were interchanged with the Luna, the difference was really "stunning". ... | |
| Kuzma/Koetsu feedbak?? thom@galbier designThanks for your suggestions. Unfortunately, my Archiv has recently passed the point of no return. It has gone from worn to a dead channel, so there is no option to try it on any new rig. The Koetsu Rosewood Signature Platinum... | |
| Kuzma/Koetsu feedbak?? @lewm Thanks for the feedback. Any thoughts about the Clearaudio turntables themselves? | |
| Kuzma/Koetsu feedbak?? No. He meant that they are exceptionally fragile. | |
| Kuzma/Koetsu feedbak?? Hello all........Sorry I disappeared over the past several days, especially since I started this thread. The holiday and illness (not related) took their toll. I want to thank all those who opined. Clearly your level of experience and knowledge... | |
| Kuzma/Koetsu feedbak?? @whart and @fjn04 Thanks for the additional input and suggestions.I am located on Long Island, NY. If you know anybody who might be willing share their sound system in order to sample certain products, I would be quite happy to go over and list... | |
| Kuzma/Koetsu feedbak?? @whart Thank you for your thoughtful comments. You are clearly far more versed in all things audio than I. I love the idea of having various turntables brought into my home to sample, but as has already been stated, that is, unfortunately, a v... | |
| Kuzma/Koetsu feedbak?? lewm Thanks for your response. I do not know anything about the Doehmann, but will look into it. My Naim gear has been upgraded with recapping and DR improvements to the power supplies. I also have the Naim 555 CD player with 2 555 power suppli... | |
| Kuzma/Koetsu feedbak?? Thank you for your responses and encouragement. Getting this new rig will be a significant jump for me since I have been using a Linn LP 12 fwith an Ekos and Archiv for over 30 years. I also saw some great reviews of a Kronos TT. Any thoughts? | |
| Kuzma/Koetsu feedbak?? Oh........I forgot to mention that the cables are all Luna Black. | |
| Suggestion for best stereo amp ? Consider the Naim 500 with the 500DR power supply. It is incredibly natural sounding (especially when paired with the Naim 552 pre-amp). The 500 is fast and powerful. It is essentially two mono blocks housed in a single box. | |
| Can you live with your current speaker until you die? Last month I acquired a very first pair of custom made Grandinote Mach 36's from Italy. They are literally serial numbers 0001 and 0002. They retail for about $180,000. They are paired with a Naim system: a 500 amp, a 552 preamp, and a 555CD p... | |
| Recommendations for CD Player/DAC Combo You might also want to consider Naim Audio. Their equipment sounds more natural than just about anything else. | |
| Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass) Lots of great suggestions here, though I'm surprised no one mentioned any products from Naim Audio, especially the mighty NAP 500 with its separate power supply. |
