Verdier Upgrade Kit
Hi Marco,my story is surely not meant to compare my kit with the exquisite Connaiseur amplifiers. here as well many interpretations are possible.the tenor of it was to show that the reaction of 'Dertonarm' is maybe imaginable but not based on any ... 
Verdier Upgrade Kit
" The kit contains of simple mechanical parts which do not involve any significant labor or parts costs at all. "ahumm.have had exactly the same feeling about a phono and line stage amplifier made somewhere in Japan.it seemed like a simple aluminu... 
Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads?
thanks for sharing experiences.800 watts is a lot, i used to own Atma MA2 which eat up 800 watts each channel..but a reasonable household vacuumcleaner will eat up 1.5kW and sounds very bad too.very clever thinking of Mr Rasmussen to implement the... 
Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads?
The SF Stradivari is for sure one of those speakers to hang on to for life. every speaker shall do less to an extent with many common amps, will work good with certain amps, and will perform superb with only couple of amps.. no matter what powerfi... 
Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads?
seems the Gryphon has kissed Lady Stradivari out of her sleep!it can only get better soundwise, suspect a 3 month period with some nice PC to get it blossoming.great to read your first impression.keep us posted. and tell us about the green bias pr... 
Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads?
yes i can imagine the addicton or a love for certain speaker i got the same for my Verity. and the AtmaSphere OTL is known to me to say the least..it may be worth trying out the Autoformers which will be great for what they do.i have learnt alot f... 
Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads?
the Dominus in itself is a great PC but the next level Anniversary easily betters it. if you crave for speed and resolution i would however not pick Purist cables as first choice.the SF speakers benefit greatly from Fast-Authorative- Speed and Res... 
Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads?
The Gryphon Antileon (signature) as i have experienced and as reviewed by others may very well be the best product of Mr Rasmussen. personally i do not like the Gryphon preamps very much.but i know from Antileon owners that with the right speakers... 
Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads?
there are very enthusiast reports on Stradivari and Soulution as a match made in heaven. think i read these at the Greek ACA website where many show attendants reviewed this combination as absolutely stellar. and that in the light of show conditio... 
Wavac 805
as an example i had my Verity driven with NAF 845SE 28watt stereoamp and although 95Db at 8 ohms nominal it was a j*ke i'm sorry to say.it not only has to do with impedance, electrical phase behavior is way more important.the volume behind the woo... 
CAT Legend vs WAVAC PR-T1 ?
have owned mk1 to mk3 signature for many years and experienced tube swapping and replacing as a nasty habit.the later Ultimate behaved much better, but still relied heavy on tube quality and so dependability. I finally found myself spending more t... 
Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads?
Have actually partnered my Stradivari at that time with Lamm M1.2Ref for a longer period. although a nice combination as for sound and an 'easy' on the ear musical experience, after the Accuphase P7100 match the Lamm hybrid was soon forgotten and ... 
Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads?
Have had the Stradivari for some year and partnered it with some very different amps. i have a very large listening room. the best all round partnering obviously was with the Accuphase P7100. beeing fairly high in sensitivity ( 92 or even 93dB) it... 
Best Solid State for Avalon Isis
there is a lot of misconception about 'pure class A'.there are not much pure class A amps around. the old Pass Alephs were pure class A and they had not many watts.most (almost all) amps are class AB.it is all about bias. as an example if an amp h... 
Some questions about Kharma Exquisite Reference
"it is not a speaker which has unlimited SPL capabilities.....it will not knock the house down with bass slam.....no matter what amp you use." "the Kharma is very demanding of naturalness in an amplifier and so the choices of enough power, natural...
