| Transport For Use w/ MF Trivista 21 Re power cables for the Trivista 21, I have used VH Audio Flavour 4; Pure Note Paragon; Black Sand Silver Reference V and the Lessloss. The VH, good as it is, is a bi out-classed in this company. Of the rest, I ended up chosing between the Paragon... | |
| Transport For Use w/ MF Trivista 21 I have used a Trivista 21 in my system for some 4 years now. I initially used a Esoteric P700 transport which has been upgraded with replacement Trichord Research digital output board plus replacement master clock with power supply. This combinati... | |
| tube pre amp and Krell FPB 600 I drive my FPB300c with an Aesthetix Calypso, which is a capacitively coupled pre-amp. I've had no problems at all and am very happy with the results. | |
| Ayre K-3X or Aesthetix Calypso? with a I have a FPB300c through which I have had an extended opportunity to compare an Ayre K5xe and a Calypso with standard tubes. I preferred and ended up buying a Calypso. The K5x sounded like a more refined (less harsh/more tube like) version of the ... | |
| Dynavector P-75 mods? Hi,I recently bought a P-75; made necessary when I bought an Aesthetix Calypso to replace my Krell KRC-HR which had a KPE phono stage fitted. I have been setting the P-75 up and learnt that:-1) A 12v battery supply is a lot better than the mains w... | |
| Vr4jr's and sub I use a REL Stadium II with my VR4jrs. Yes the jrs go pretty low but as Mjsoa said, there definitely is more lower down.My Stadium improves the scale of the sound, and on some tracks, adds bass that is felt which adds to the immediacy and atmosphe... | |
| Odyssey Lorelei vs Von Scheikert Vr4jr I also find the bass of my VR4jrs to be probably the least strong area of its sound. Its not that its bad; just not as good as the jr's other considerable strengths. It could be that I get to compare with a friend's PMC IB2s and the bass from thos... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso Power Cord I've tried 3 different power cords on my Calypso - VH Flavour 4; Pure Note Paragon enhanced & Black Sand Silver Reference Mk V. The VH is surprisingly good in this company but in the end, I prefered the Black Sand Silver Ref. It was just as qu... | |
| Recommended SS amplifiers for Aesthetix Calypso? I borrowed my friend's Calypso and it was an excellent match with my Krell FPB300c/Von Schweikert VR4jrs speakers.He uses his Calypso with a Bryston 4BSST driving PMC IB2s and the sound is also very well balanced.Hope this helps. | |
| Calypso Amplifier Matching - Krell? I also read that the sound stage performance of the Calypso is excellent, though there were also comments in Calypso tube rolling threads that this only comes through with better tubes. Havig said that, the KRC HR is no slouch on sound staging and... | |
| Calypso Amplifier Matching - Krell? Hi,Sorry I only just came across your thread.I normally use a Krell KRC HR with my FPB300c power amp in my system but a friend who has a Calypso lent this to me while he is on vacation and I used it with no problems at all with my FPB. The sound w... | |
| Von Schweikert VR4 JR and Krell 400xi? I drive my VR4jrs with a Krell KRC HR pre-amp & FPB300c power amps. Sound is great, balanced tonally, 3D, airy with good bass (after loading with metallised sand - I wanted to avoid lead). I am not familiar with the 400xi but suspect that it m... | |
| From Hydra to Hydra 6: an upgrade? Re siting and support for Hydras, I also used steel points to support my Hydra 8, as suggested by Shunyata instructions; Goldmound cones in my case. But then I was very surprised to discover recently that the Herbie's Iso cup & ball brought mu... | |
| A324 and the Trivista Hi Chijo,Not sure why you thought I had listaken the X-DAC for the A324; I did not mention the X-DAC once in my reply.What I said was if one was to chose the A324 over the Trivista, then I would recommend adding the X10v3 plus power supply, maybe ... | |
| Music Fidelity X-V3 Bundle vs MF Trivista or A324 I have not tried the A324 but I own the Trivista, and the X10v3 with power supply, and have borrowed an X DAC v3 off a friend to compare the X bundle with the Trivista. No, the bundle is not the equivalent of the Trivista; and the higher resolutio... |
