| Review: Antique Sound Labs Flora EX DT Line Preamplifier Tube preamp Donnwags, yes my hunch is that that the lack of density or body you are experiencing, unless there is some other malfunction in the Flora which I don't think is very likely, is the tubes you are using.The original tubes were pretty crappy, lack of... | |
| Review: Antique Sound Labs Flora EX DT Line Preamplifier Tube preamp Hi Donnwags, hope you are enjoying the Flora in your system. To answer your question, it took about 200 hours for the Mondorf caps to really burn in and for the Flora to completely come "on line" and really sing.I don't know what Tung-Sol chrome t... | |
| Tube Pre-amp BAT, ARC, EAR, Sonic Frontiers Snarkonmars, take a look at my review of the Flora preamp here on the GON, that will give the details why I chose it over many other highly regarded linestages. It is also a price "killer" at $3000.00 compared to much more expensive pieces that it... | |
| Review: NuForce 9 V2 SE Amplifier Denf, great review, it's extremely well written, informative, and a fun read. The only D-amp I have alot of experience with are the Kharma monoblocks that I thought were quite good, better then a pair of highly regarded Lamm monoblocks, in a frien... | |
| Euphoric Realism vs. Euphonic Romanticism Take a look at my review of the Flora transformer/tube gain based preamp. I also went through a very long list of very highly regarded linestages untill I tried the Flora, and it became my new reference. I believe it might give you the sonic signa... | |
| Review: Antique Sound Labs Flora EX DT Line Preamplifier Tube preamp Hi Vuckovic, congrats on your new Flora. I would be interested in what your experience has been regarding its performance in the context of your system.

| Review: Antique Sound Labs Flora EX DT Line Preamplifier Tube preamp Dev, I just got off the phone with Divergent Technologies, the importer of the Flora, and they are not aware of any new caps or improved RCA's that are different then the Mondorf cap upgrade or replacing RCA's with XLR's.So, what specificly were y... | |
| Review: Antique Sound Labs Flora EX DT Line Preamplifier Tube preamp Thanks Dev, for the heads up regarding these two new upgrades, I'll check into with Tosh. E-mails are very hard for me to get to, so I don't know if its just setting there or not, but thanks for the effort to get this information to me. | |
| Indra Terminations Hi Neal, when I purchased my Indra's I had a chance to get either a beta pair or the present generation with the Titanium RCA's and saved alot of money because when the two cables were compared in a blindfold taste, you could not tell one from the... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Branimir, thanks for responding to my E-mail concerning your opinion regarding the AA Tube hybrid DAC. I have found, the details are on my review thread regarding this DAC, that I got a significant and dramatic improvement in the sonic performance... | |
| Clement Perry's new reference speaker Guy's, I really did not post this as a critique of Clement Perry's review, I read all the reviewers and take what they all say with the a gaint grain of salt and always use my own ears to decide for myself, but just wanted to know if anybody in ou... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective I had the pleasure of being asked to bring my Accustic Arts Tube Hybrid DAC to a fellow audiofile's home so we could compare his new Reimyo DAP-777 DAC to the Tube Hybrid. Everything stayed the same, including using his Reimyo CDT-777, the new com... | |

Tim, the best I can do is give you my personnal opinion of the three speakers you are interested in, but remember that so much of anyone's prespective is a personnal taste along with system synergy and the size/type of acoustic space the system is... |
