| Which bookshelf speakers to choose: Focal Sopra 1 or B&W 805D3 or KEF Ref 1? What's your room size, near field listening, associated electronics, and type of music? I have the KEF Reference 1's in my office. They sit on either end of an 8' long by 42" deep desk and are driven by a Hegel H590. Incredible combination. I'm ve... | |
| Rogue RP-7 vs. New RP-9 - What's the Difference? Audio Research's well received Ref 10 preamplifier utilizes (8) 6H30P's. The RP9 uses four. Rogue msrp $7500 vs ARC msrp $33,000.Looking forward to hearing the RP9! Always a great value product. | |
| Help - I've Got the Dreaded Transformer Growl.... Thanks for the responses. I went ahead with the cheap option first - purchased the Emotiva CMX-2 AC line filter with DC offset eliminator ($129). Fingers crossed it does the trick. If that doesn't work, I'll either (1) look at the Furman power co... | |

| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! All this cables, interconnects, and power conditioning talk has piqued my interest.My dealer swears by the Torus RM20. Anyone tried it and compared it to the Denali? | |
| Amplifier ideas with KEF Reference 1 What is your current setup yyz and what prompted you to go for treatments? Do you listen at low, medium, or high volume? Most of my listening is at low volume but I crank it when no one is around!I will try to get something posted soon. | |
| Amplifier ideas with KEF Reference 1 No demo. I figured KEF and Hegel join forces at so many audio shows that it wouldn't be a system synergy risk.Small office, no acoustical treatment. Been awhile since I measured but I figure approximately 10'x14'. KEF's bear on IsoAcoustics isola... | |
| Amplifier ideas with KEF Reference 1 Forgot to mention - absolutely dead quiet! | |
| Amplifier ideas with KEF Reference 1 Hegel H590 has arrived and is breaking in.Initial impressions with KEF Reference 1's. Note that it's only been on for about 12 hours.1. Solid midrange and powerful bass.2. Streaming tidal and hearing far more depth/detail than ever before.3. Trebl... | |

| Bel Canto ACI600 vs Black EX Sepates @karurravi Still trying to decide...leaning toward the Hegel H590 but also strongly considering the Black EX separates. I tried to get out to RMAF this weekend but work schedule didn't allow it. Stay tuned. | |

| Amplifier ideas with KEF Reference 1 Thought I’d add a quick update. I’ve decided to forget about wife acceptance factor and purchase the amp knowing that it’s staying in the office. The Bel Canto looks amazing. I’m fearful of betting on this technology without hearing it in person ... | |
| Bel Canto ACI600 vs Black EX Sepates Totally agree the 360’s more than enough but want to have an integrated with internal dac that plays mqa.....the 590 will, the 360 doesn’t. |
