Can't wait to get it, hopefully someday next week.I hade the Karan KA S400 on loan before deciding in favour of the KA M2000 monoblocks. The K... | |
| Gryphon Colosseum vs. Karan M2000 monoblocks Thanx :)Goldenote is an Italian brand, most famous for their electronics I believe. I'm using their power cables for my front end at the moment. I haven't evaluated these much, but I find the Goldenote interconnects to be extremely transparent, op... | |
| Gryphon Colosseum vs. Karan M2000 monoblocks Hi,My thread is still alive :DI'm using an Audio Aero La Fontaine CD/Pre directly to the Karan monos at the moment, but I'm planning to add an Aesthetix Callisto Eclipse preamp very soon. Speakers are Sonus Faber Futuras. Cabling is Kubala Sosna E... | |
| Gryphon Colosseum vs. Karan M2000 monoblocks @ArtaleCongratulations, and welcome to the family :) The 2000 monos will be the backbone of my system for many years to come, I'm sure. | |
| Zanden 3000 preamp - how's it holding up? Hi,I'd love to get in contact with owners of the Zanden 3000 preamp for sharing of some thoughts and experiences. | |
| Aesthetix IO Eclipse AR...? Audio Research? | |
| Aesthetix IO Eclipse Thanks for valuable responses!As I live in Scandinavia/Europe, the possibility of auditioning equipment on this level in my own home and system are extremely limited. Even so, I've managed to make most choices so far based on careful evaluation in... | |
| Aesthetix IO Eclipse Well, if being a snobbish arse makes you an audiophile, I think I'll pass. | |
| Aesthetix IO Eclipse After much research and soul searching during the last couple of months, I'm going to make a final decision this weekend, where the final battle stands inbetween the discussed IO Eclipse and the Pass Labs XP-25.In the right corner:Aesthetix IO Ecl... | |
| Aesthetix IO Eclipse Well, personally, I'm not very interested in turning a high end investment into a DIY-project. I prefer to put my trust in Jim White (Aesthetix :) | |
| Aesthetix IO Eclipse Hifi news(UK) has a recent review available online:http://www.hifinews.co.uk/news/article.asp?a=9345Hifi news and What hifi has only praise for the IO Eclipse, besides mentioning the practical issues as well as the potential back sides of the high... | |
| Aesthetix IO Eclipse @ProgrammergeekI'm really sorry to hear about your troubles! But, based on the respons I've got from other IO-owners (as well as a great amount of customers cheering about the great service provided by Aesthetix in general), I'm also quite surpris... | |
| Aesthetix IO Eclipse @SuteetatInteresting :) I believe Karan has sold about 10-15 pairs of the M2000 world wide so far, which makes them quite exotic. I've had mine for about 2-3 months now. They do need quite some time to open up and "relax", as they did sound rather... | |
| Aesthetix IO Eclipse @SuteetatOK, thanks. May I ask (out of curiosity) what your friend is partnering the Karan monos with? | |
| Aesthetix IO Eclipse Regarding heat generation. Is it at all possible/recommendable to place the power supplies in a cabinet (with an open back)? This works well with my Karan monos, but I do expect the Aesthetix units to get significantly warmer. |
