| Shortlist of Speaker Cables/ICs: advice/opinions I guess I have to say it again: I live in South Africa and thus those I have not mentioned are not available. Do not forget that all these 30-60 day trial periods are normally ONLY valid in the US. And even if they are valid internationally, I am ... | |
| Shortlist of Speaker Cables/ICs: advice/opinions Friz: I am very interested in the Kimber combo but the pricing is a major factor. I do not think I would be able to get the MonocleXL and KS-1011, but I will be able to get the MonocleX and 1011. Do you think it is worth it going for the MonocleX?... | |
| Shortlist of Speaker Cables/ICs: advice/opinions Hi Again Guys,Thanks for all the great info. I think for the moment the two combos on my shortlist which I will be testing soon are:Analysis Plus Solo Crystal IC and Solo Crystal Oval 8 SCAcoustic Zen Matrix Ref II IC and Satori II SCI will see ho... | |
| Shortlist of Speaker Cables/ICs: advice/opinions Hi There,Will do Driver. What I am doing on these forums is getting opinions on what would be worth trying and which combos to try. It is not easy to set up home auditions here so I need to know what I will be demoing (I can't go back for 5 differ... | |
| Shortlist of Speaker Cables/ICs: advice/opinions I must mentione that I live in South Africa. Availability is very limited. It is also not possible to audition all the cables even those with 30 day trials as it would cost $100 or more just to send them here and back. The ones on my list are the ... | |
| Shortlist of Speaker Cables/ICs: advice/opinions I must ask once again, please try NOT suggest other brands. They are not available to me and thus I will not be able to audition them. I do not want to buy blind.X | |
| Kimber MonocleXL vs MonocleX Really? Have not heard them....I would think that the Hologram II would be around the same class as MonocleXL, no?X | |
| Kimber MonocleXL vs MonocleX Hi There,It is really a question of price. Living in South Africa I need to factor in issues such as shipping costs, high exchange rates and import duties. My budget will unforunately not allow me to go for a pair of Selects. In the future however... | |
| Schweikert VR4-Jr vs. Gallo Reference 3 with SA Hi There,No worries :) As mentioned in my post it was simply me being inquisitive. I was just surprised that the Gallo's were touted as being more coloured as I thought that their complete lack of colouring was one of their strengths.X | |
| Schweikert VR4-Jr vs. Gallo Reference 3 with SA Hi There,Rob and Aaccss - please don't take this as argumentative, as I cannot actually tell (haven't heard the speakers) but rather as an inquisitive query: aren't the Gallo's meant to be even more uncolored and less smeared due to the absence of... | |
| Schweikert VR4-Jr vs. Gallo Reference 3 with SA I believe all you need is a decent power amp with an external crossover. Connect the pre-outs of your preamp or integrated amp to the power amp's inputs and that should work, but is not ideal. The Gallo SA amp was designed specifically for it and ... | |
| Speaker Cable to Replace Zu Cable Wax Hi Guys,Has anyone had experience with the Analysis Plus cables? I am perhaps considering going AP throughout using the Solo Crystal interconnects and Solo 8 speaker cables.X | |
| Speaker Cable to Replace Zu Cable Wax Hi There,Will take that into consideration. Only problem is I do not think DH-Labs is available here in SA so no chance of auditioning. Will do some reasearch and find out though. I am quite surprised - I thought that the Wax would outperform such... | |
| Speaker Cable to Replace Zu Cable Wax In the price range of $500-700 I have also thought about Cardas Golden Cross, Kimber KS-3033 and Nordost Red Dawn II.X | |
| Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Grand I think he even said these are prototypes. Funny, in South Africa we get things much later than the rest of the world but not this case. The owner is from Vienna so I think he must have some intimate contacts at VA.MSRP is around 2000 Euro each (c... |
