| Focal Kanta No.2 speakers - any thoughts? Also in comparison with Sonus Faber Olympica 3s? rsure-give the distributor a call-Upcale Audio. Both lines represented there. Kevin can provide more insight on your decision. | |
| Focal Kanta No.2 speakers - any thoughts? Also in comparison with Sonus Faber Olympica 3s? I have the PL HP. If I were ready to plunk down some serious cash, I’d be on the lookout for the Focal Sopra 2 used. I’ve seen them UNDER $10K.Big Sonus Faber fan here. Aesthetically, not many brands compare. Id go with the Stradivarius Homage if ... | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? "Maxell Vertex tape"Inna- memory is letting me down. The glory days transferring a fresh from the bin record- recorded to premium cassette for the car, seem like yesterday.I used most of the popular brands including Maxell. Don’t remember Vertex? ... | |
| Non-subjective speaker test at home "i know all speaker elements produce clean sound. What else?"You've revealed a clear case of audio nervosa. You can't accept the simple test of them producing good sound, so you think you need more "testing stuff"I would just put them in their be... | |
| Anyone have experience with the Tung Sol 7581a vs. EL34, KT66, KT88, 6L6 jbhiller,I noticed that tube awhile back and was always curious, since I too have the PL HP.Nice to see they are ridiculously priced.El34,KT77 & KT88 sound great. The compromise between those two for me have been the RCA 6L6G(the big bottles) ... | |
| Have ~$10-12k...what would you do? "I've gone everywhere from just doing a better integrated and maybe saving some money (Primaluna HP, Octave, VAC sigma) to separates to mono's (VAC, C-J, Cary, Manley, Rogue, and a few others). Don't mind used in the least."phaun16-Off topic, but... | |
| Rega Turntable stanwal-I'm wondering how Rega chose those hardware store footers? For $30k, it should have some nice aesthetically fitting, CNC'd brass or whatever, high tech feet. Looks like an afterthought, relative to the high,carbon plinth.Ive never found a ... | |
| Sonus Faber Amati Homage vs Olympia III I've never heard the Amati disappoint in any setup. That's a nice upgrade there.Great speakers to amazing speakers in both sonics and looks. Congratulations. I too would go for the Strads, if they are in your price bracket. Aesthetically, they are... | |
| Rega Turntable Rega introduced the Naiad 4 years ago. I wanted one when I read about it.The roadblock was the $30k. The P10 seems like a compromise!http://audiofi.net/2013/06/rega-naiad-sneak-peek-at-the-30000-turntable/ | |
| Tyr 2 vs Valhalla v2 "the Valhalla was another noticible jump in quality. My problem was in between. The Frey & Tyr went kind of sideways. They had a different sound."elevick- I too have sat through a couple of Nordost sessions. I agree, once the stock cable is re... | |
| Tyr 2 vs Valhalla v2 "They both are another world upgrade from blue heaven which i already have."skrymar-that had to be a significant jump. I was so pleased with just replacing some ancient BH speaker cables to Heimdall II, I replaced everything from the wall and IC's... | |
| 3 Cartridges Reviewed dodgealum-Nice insight.This thread speaks to me. My time with the ART9 is nearing the 2.5 year mark. No regrets, but as any true audio geek, curiosity about other possibilities which include the SS MIMC & Aida is always present.Your review she... | |
| Primaluna Integrated with a seperate preamp Saki70-I have the PL Dialogue HP integrated.Earlier this year, I picked up a used Dialogue Premium preamp, with intentions of getting 2 HP amps.Used the pre with the integrated thru the HT. The sonic difference is quite subtle, I couldn't hear it.... | |
| Do you listen mainly to Audiophile CDs and records? I agree with folkfreak. Inline with my listening habits. Paramount for me, is to have a period press, and listen to it through best possible system setup(to your own ears) |
