| New Perlisten S7T Towers I have the S4b's and D12s on "display" as I work out of my house. I am in Jersey City. Not sure there is another local dealer. I very simply don't have room for the S7t. | |
| Looking for a warm sounding amp or integrated with a torodial transformer Have you looked at Rega? I recall years ago I was upgrading from a Rega Brio R and the guys at Needledoctor were of the opinion that Rega was the warmest gear they carried and they were Rogue dealers. That was vs. stock tubes so not sure how it w... | |
| Which Tweeter preferred- dome natural material, Beryllium/Metal or Planar Ribbon? Why? There are too many good and bad implementations of each of these materials. I have heard incredible Beryllium tweeters and painfully bright ones. I have heard awful diamond tweeters, I have heard brilliant. Same with ribbons, ceramic, aluminum,... | |
| BiAmp Focal Kanta 2 speakers with 1 set of posts. @tablejockey i did not know the OP already had a primaluna 400 as that was not stated in the initial post. I do not like criticizing peoples choices and would have abstained from this thread had I known. Those amp aren’t my first choice for ... | |
| BiAmp Focal Kanta 2 speakers with 1 set of posts. The Kanta No 2s are not a perfect match with those Primaluna amps. The impedance dips a hair below 3 ohms and is a hard to drive speaker below about 120 hz. Bass will be a bit flabby. This really is a speaker that is best with warm, SS amplif... | |
| Naim Audio system owners - What speakers are you using with Naim? A Hugo TT2 will definitely help. It is brighter than Naim’a DAC. I have not had a chance to test this sort of setup with Chord. | |
| CD transports I heave heard about challenges with the native software for streaming but not about QC challenges with the actual hardware. Interesting. | |
| Naim Audio system owners - What speakers are you using with Naim? Naim is designed to be paired with Focal which are brighter speakers. it is warmer amplification. Spendor is not a bright speaker. Nor is the Audiovector. I might look at a brighter amp as you are clearly leaning toward neutral to warm speaker... | |
| Naim Audio system owners - What speakers are you using with Naim? @rfc i have personally listened to Naim and the Spendor D7.2 and found it dark. If you like a warmer, darker sound, great! | |
| Lumin vs Bricasti Volume Control In Bricasti's line, the M21 is basically an M1 SE Delta Sigma DAC plus an R2R Dac. You can switch between them. The M12 "Source Controller: is an M1 SE Delta Sigma with an amazing analog preamp stage. If you are only looking for the delta-sig... | |
| CD transports Check out the Cyrus CDt XR. Cyrus makes brilliant CD players and at a root level, that start with a great transport. This would be a superb option. | |
| Lumin vs Bricasti Volume Control The Bricasti’s is superb. I have used it with several amps direct and have been pleased with the output. The M3 is also very natural and neutral. I just had a Lumin T2 on trade here so that is my point of comparison. In the end the volume ... | |
| Diablo 300 vs Luxman 590AXii with Sopra 3 I might reconsider the Lumin T2. The Sopra's are lovely speakers but drift bright and the Lumin T2 is definitely on the brighter side. I have one here and it is brighter than my Chord DACs. I am not sure you can find an amp that is going to be ... | |
| Rega Aetheos, Simaudio Moon 340i or NAD M33 for B&W 805s? I have not hear the Supernait with the 805 D3. I can't answer how that would work out. I am making a recco based strictly on a paper matchup. I found the depth of the AVM, it is 325mm or approximately 12.8". I know if has redundancy with the... | |
| Speaker pairing suggestions to go w/ NAD M33 Check out the Wilson Benesch Precision series. P2.0 or P3.0s would be ideal. They are very precise and extremely well designed and sound very big. They are also particularly neutral and will pair well with that integrated. I have had the amp s... |
