| Raidho D1 audition I'm breaking in a pair of Raidho D1 at the moment, driven by Aesthetix electronics (Romulus/Callisto/Atlas) and Nordost Valhalla all through in a medium sized living room with modest acoustical treatment.My findings after about 10 hours of listeni... | |
| Raidho D1 audition I've recently been visiting the Raidho facilities in Aalborg, Denmark.The day offered a tour including an overview of the Raidho design philosophy and impressive line of production. It's a relatively small company with very ambitious goals combine... | |
| Raidho D1 audition I promise to report back from the Raidho facilities! I'm planning to make a small photo reportage as well. | |
| Raidho D1 audition I've been kindly invited to visit the Raidho facilities in Denmark next week. Hopefully, I'll be able to audition all three speakers from the D-line. | |
| Diamond drivers @Kiwi_1282001Very interesting and much appreciated! As I'm seriously considering the Raidho D-2 or D-3, I will read and follow the development of your thread carefully. | |
| Nordost Valhalla Power Cords I'm using (and still evaluating) Nordost Valhalla powercords (all through) + Quantum QB8, Qx4 and Qv2 in my system.I believe the Nordost products (and Valhalla in particular) to be extremely open, transparent and revealing cables. What you hear is... | |
| Best Solid State Amp w/ Avalon Eidolon Diamonds Karan makes wonderfully musical amplifiers. The UK distributor of Avalon and Karan uses the KA M2000 monos in his reference system with Avalon Eidolon Diamonds and Isis as far as I know. I'm partnering them with Sonus Faber Futuras myself. | |

| Nordost Valhalla Power Cords Personally, I'm getting more and more convinced that there are drawbacks of mixing and matching cable technologies to much within the same system. All you do is compensating for weaknesses and flaws ending up with a big compromise. A trusted local... | |
| Brinkmann/Spiral Groove/TW Acustic Black Night...? @Captain_winters. Well, I guess it's a matter of system matching and personal preferences. The Brinkmann setup is very revealing (which can be a very good or a not so good thing...). I find it hard to really relax and enjoy about 70-80% of my musi... | |
| Brinkmann/Spiral Groove/TW Acustic Black Night...? @PeterayerI know the Bardo well, and I've also heard the Balance at the Scandinavian distributor of Brinkmann on two occasions. I believe the Balance to deliver more authority and weight, but being a belt-drive design (compared to the direct-drive... | |
| Gryphon Colosseum vs. Karan M2000 monoblocks @ArtaleThe Aesthetix + Karan works beautifully. They seem to bring out the best of each other :) |
