| Upgrading from Thiel 2.7 to Sonus Faber or Focal??? Thank you for the information. I can handle the 2 fronts if the cabling doesn't take care of the issue. The Mullards are great tubes but pricey these days as they are becoming scarce. | |
| Upgrading from Thiel 2.7 to Sonus Faber or Focal??? @Prof....I doubt I will be able to keep the 2.7. The store I auditioned at gave me a very good trade in price if I choose to buy the Nova's from them. @rushfan...Looks like they are out of stock but have rebranded Mullards for $140 pair. Do the ... | |
| Upgrading from Thiel 2.7 to Sonus Faber or Focal??? Good suggestion rushfan. Are the Mullards overall quite a bit warmer than the stock tubes? Price per pair? I do remember going down the tube swapping fiasco with the PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium integrated I had a few years ago. Drove me crazy lol. | |
| Upgrading from Thiel 2.7 to Sonus Faber or Focal??? Headphonedreams the step up from the Nova 3 is out of my price range lol. James I agree it's what you enjoy at the moment but I definitely do not dislike the Thiels. They definitely excel at imaging and detail. Hopefully the cables will "fine tune... | |
| Upgrading from Thiel 2.7 to Sonus Faber or Focal??? Prof,The room I was in also very well treated. Dead quiet. In my opinion the A3 was rather warm compared to the upper end Magico line. But overall not a well rounded speaker. Just didn’t have it’s stuff together so to speak as with the Olympica. ... | |
| Upgrading from Thiel 2.7 to Sonus Faber or Focal??? Had a nice visit at Hanson Audio in Cincinnati today. Had the listening room all to myself which was fantastic. They teased me with the SF Cremonese. Crimany those are great speakers. They should be at 55K. Of waaay out of my price range. He k... | |
| Upgrading from Thiel 2.7 to Sonus Faber or Focal??? @james633. This is exactly what I wanted to hear. Thank you so much. My gut is telling me I would really like the Olympica 3. You hit on what Kevin Deal said about the midrange. It’s not "chesty". But everything else is very nice. Sounds like a ve... | |
| Upgrading from Thiel 2.7 to Sonus Faber or Focal??? Prof...thank you for the your detailed explanation and experience with the 2.7. Valuable information. Isn’t crazy how we get used to a certain speaker. There is no perfect speaker but I think we get used our speakers and then wonder what am I miss... | |
| Lumin or Aurender I am very satisfied with my recently acquired LUMIN T2, SBooster and L1. Won't go into all the superlatives and have never owned or used Aurender but I doubt you would be dissatisfied with LUMIN. | |
| Audio Research LS/Ref or Primaluna EVO Preamp Sean I ended up with the EVO 400 and from my understanding it is the same as the 300 only difference is XLR which I wanted. I can tell you it is a upgrade from the LS26. A dealer was telling me that people were trading ARC Ref series preamps for ... | |
| Amp to drive Focal Kanta 3 May want to consider Naim. I was talking to a fellow who drives his Kanta's with Naim gear and highly recommends. He also has a Primaluna EVO 400 integrated in a 2nd system driving Focal Sopra and loves the sound. | |
| Phono Cable Recommendations Thanks for the clarification :) | |
| Phono Cable Recommendations The thread you provided had many positives things to say. I just hope fast doesn't equate into bright or too much clarity. Neutral to slightly warm is fine :) | |
| Phono Cable Recommendations Lalitk just ordered a pair. At that price plus reading the reviews can't hurt right? Plus they have a 45 day return policy. | |
| Phono Cable Recommendations That's a good discount on the Silnote. How did it compare to the PH4? I assume the PH6 is a significant upgrade over the PH4 as is the Silnote? |
