| New REL T7 / T9 vs. older REL Storm III? Mwheelerk - Curious as to which other REL models you have owned and how the T7 compares? My new speakers (Daedalus Ulysses) are relatively full range, rated down to 28HZ, but I like the idea of adding a sub to fill things out some more / add some ... | |
| Interconnects for cd player KCI Silkworm or Jade Audio Hybrid. Both gold based cables and neither are cheap, but both are quite exceptional IME. | |
| Wilson Sophia 2 or Sonus Faber Amati Homage In regards to electronics, I would avoid Musical Fidelity and go with a tube amp. Not sure what your budget is, but there's plenty to choose from (VAC, McIntosh, Quicksilver, ARC...). | |
| Which companies deserve a star for Christmas VAC, McIntosh & Aesthetix | |
| TRL Dude Dilemna I would not sell two good amps just to justify the purchase of a preamp. I would not think the Sampson's are capable of matching the SET sound of your Viva 845. Sell the Dude and consider buying the Aesthetix Calypso listed. Spend $400 on the righ... | |
| SET Amp for Harbeth P7ES3 I drove Harbeth M-40.1's with a VAC 30/30 (32 wpc) with no problem. I'd be surprised if it did not work for you. | |
| Wilson Sophia III vs Sasha If it were me, I'd spend money on room treatments, a decent tube amp and lastly cable upgrades before upgrading to the Sashas. | |
| Pass XP10, Ayre K-5xe, Calypso - Your Experience? Calypso is my personal favorite in the $2,500 used range. Works well with solid state and tube amps IME. | |
| Shunyatas New CX series I've had the Python CX on my Audio Aero Capitol CDP for about 12 hours or so. I'm very impressed with this cord. Dynamics have improved and there's more air and decay in the notes. Makes me want to add these to my amp and preamp, but my audio spen... | |
| Shunyatas New CX series I just confirmed with the dealer that it has at least 400 hours on it. So I would think it will settle in nicely once I have it running for a week or so. | |
| Shunyatas New CX series The Python CX I bought is a dealer demo, so it will probably be broken in. Planning on using it on my Audio Aero Capitol CDP. | |
| Shunyatas New CX series just bought my first Shunyata power cable, the Python CX. I'm hopeful it will be an upgrade from my Cardas Golden Reference power cables. Will the lone Python CX be best optimized on my CDP or preamp? | |
| Harbeth M30 Amp suggestions I really liked the MC275 MKV on my Harbeth M-40.1's. Next to the two VAC amps I own(ed), the MC275 MKV was the best amp I've owned. IME, most tube amps just sound more like music than solid state amps. | |
| Thoughts from Joule preamp owners? I prefer my Aesthetix Calypso & Calypso Signature to the LA-150 that I owned about 4 years ago. | |
| Best Tube/SS Amps for Harbeth 7ES-3 I was driving my large Harbeth M-40.1's with a VAC Renaissance 30/30 MKIII, which I've just listed today. It would easily power you compact 7's and would sound phenomenal. I'm only selling it because I've moved up to the 30/30's bigger brother, th... |
