| Opinions please on integrated for green mountain europas I used a Joldia 102B with the Europas some years ago. I remember it having easily enough power and sounding quite nice. I later moved on to the Callistos and Eos Hx powered by HK Cit II for even better sound. | |
| Bottlehead Eros Phono Pre I have the Eros and before that I had the Bottlehead Seduction. I can say that the Eros is a very noticeable improvement over the Seduction but I don't have any experience comparing it to other phonos. The Bottlehead forum has a lot of comments... | |
| SATA wires vs filter I just received a new desktop yesterday which had the SSD hooked up to the Sata III. I tried it out today and the sound was ok but not that great. I was going to raise the volume some but instead tried the PPA tip and changed the SSD to a Sata II.... | |
| Reference 3A Veena UHF magazine reviewed these speakers in Issue 75. It was a mixed review and they were not sure if the Veena was better that the De Capo. Venna had better bass but the De Capo had better midrange and slightly brighter top. | |
| Former Jolida Owners - What did you upgrade to? I still have a Jolida 102B in a second system but replaced it in my main system with a KR Antares. The Jolida has the nice warm tuby sound while the Antares is less tuby sounding but has a cleaner/clearer SET sound. | |
| GMA Callisto vs. Reference 3a De Capo i I have found a review of the 3As in UHF Magazine. Here are some of the quotes:by GR "The lively dynamics are something to behold" "... the upper midrange is more prominent that I would have liked..." "I still think this speaker is something specia... | |
| GMA Callisto vs. Reference 3a De Capo i I would rate the Callistos much higher that the 3As. I had a home demo of 3As a couple of years ago and found that I preferred the considerably cheaper Athena AS-F2's. The 3AS sounded somewhat bright and forward to me. I later took the advice of m... | |
| GMA Callisto's I am using a Kr Antares VA300 with the Callistos which puts out about 12 watts. They play loud enough for me. I live in a 1 bedroom condo with a 20x25 living room area and can't play them at high levels without bothering my neighbors. When I first... | |
| Best amp for GMA Europas? I used a Kr Audio Antares v300 with the Europas. It only has 12 watts/channel but it had enough power for my situation. I live in a high rise condo so I can't play my system at extreme levels. I have since replaced the Europas with the Callistos u... | |
| Transport for Electrocompanient ECD-1 I upgraded from a Meridian 206 to a Sonic Frontiers SFT-1 with my ECD-1. It was a significant improvement and is in the low range of your budget. Another upgrade to consider is the digital cable. I upgraded mine from Transparent Premium to the Tra... | |
| Big Stupid Warm Speakers The Athena AS-F2 might be what you want. I have a set and your discription is how I would describe them compared to the Green Mountain Europas. | |
| Upgrade from Jolida JD-100A I also have been considering an upgrade to my Jolida. From my research it looks like one would have go an expensive unit such as a Simaudio Nova or Eclipse, Capitole, etc. to obtain a significant improvement. I am waiting to hear one of these pric... | |
| Gather around JoLida 100a owners I was thinking about a dac as well but I have seen comments on Enjoythemusic and 6moons that the Jolida is a nice musical cd player but not that great as a transport. | |
| Best Line Stage Preamp? I am using a highly modified Bottlehead Foreplay with my KR Antares and I have no complaints. Just for a comparison, I have ordered a Luminous Audio Axiom passive preamp. It is quite inexpennsive ($125) and is supposed to be a very good passive bu... | |
| Green Mountain Europa/Reference 3A DeCapo i I purchased a set of Europas in January and am very happy with them. They are everything that others have described in reviews. I also auditioned a set of DeCapo I last summer when I was looking to replace a set of Athena AS-F2. At the same time I... |
