| what preamp for Tenor 150Hps or 300Hp ? Mike,First, it is great to hear from the "father" of this Tenor/Kharma 'cult'.I am intrigued by your suggestion of the Placette RVC ... obviously, the notion of preamp vs. no preamp is quite contentious. Admittedly, I am very new to this high-end ... | |
| what preamp for Tenor 150Hps or 300Hp ? Tireguy,Just to clarify things, right now I don't own anything. So, I was considering the options of the emm labs transport and a DCC2 vs. a very good CD-only player and a separate preamp. So, what I wanted were suggestions for a preamps that have... | |
| Tenor or Lamm hybrids for alternative rock ? Thanks for all of your responses ... right now I don't have any of the components for this new system. In fact, I have resisted buying a high-end system until I could get a dedicated room. I saw no point in spending this kind of money and then not... | |
| sar labs question Rumor has it that Walter recently had a heart attack and has slowed down his operation. I am not sure if he is still producing these amps.He apparently lives in or near Winnipeg Manitoba in CANADA. | |
| Tidal Acoustics Similarly, what about Equation Speakers e.g. Equation 25 or 35 ... THis speaker uses Accuton/Thiel ceramique tweeters, midrange drivers and like Kharma uses series cross-over designs. yet, there is virtually no mention of these speakers. | |
| Wilson MAXX II speakers- forget it for your room ... if you want a wilson the sophia may be the right size for your room or look elsewhere. | |
| Opinions/experience with Equation 25 or 35 speaker What no one has any experience with these speakers ? | |
| Candid opinions regarding Kharma Ceramique 2.2 Thanks for all of the suggestions ... maybe the 2.2 isn't the right speaker after all ... one less plane ticket I guess.I think I really need to listen to the Sophia again with the W-5 and possibly the Hovland preamp. | |
| Opinions regarding JMlab Alto Be? Jacob,Thanks for your remarks ...What other brands or particular speaker models would you strongly recommend ? What lines does Jtinn carry that would cream JMlab.Thanks for your help. | |
| Dynaudio 52 vs. 52SE? I listened to the 52SE for a long time using Simaudio P-5/W-5 with AudioNote UK transport and DAC. I didn't find the speaker especially shrill ... a good test I find is the first track on the first Nora Jones CD ... I am not a big fan but I use th... | |
| JM lab Electr 926 speakers good pre amp&lifier I have repeatedly auditioned the 936 with Simaudio gear: P-5 pre/W-5 amp/Nova CDP. I think the neutral Sim gear is a very good match with the JMlab, making a very musical and nonfatiguing system. May not have some of the in your face WOW factor of... | |
| wilson vs competitor battle demo By the way, does anyone know what were the competing speakers ??? | |
| Which 3K CDP: Simaudio Nova, Ayre CX-7 Wadia 302 Sorry,I forgot to add, as a reference I listen to mainly alternative. The discs rotating on my second system CD player include:Radiohead, Muse, Ryan Adams, U2, Beck, REM, White Stripes, Strokes, Lucinda Williams, Wilco, PJ Harvey etc. Second, I sh... | |
| wilson vs competitor battle demo Yes, this has been described repeatedly in the press/internet ...The first question I have is whether anyone was there to witness this silly exercise and can they tell us their take on the challenge.Second, if in fact the Sophia won the challenge,... | |
| Dynaudio Confidence C2? Tomer,You are not getting cold feet or second thoughts on those C2's are you ??? |
