| $2500 Phono Stage Suggestions Another vote for the K&K phono stage. I have used one for 5 years and am about to install Kevins latest upgrade. Having compared it to a number of stages, including the Whest, the only one I thought bettered it was the Tron phono stage in an a... | |
| Any experience with HRS Harmonic Resolution system I agree with Rtn1, HRS are indeed neutral and sound undramatic, but they certainly improve the sound, in terms of focus, microdynamics, clearly so. I found Stillpoints quite different, if anything vearing away from neutrality, more snap, dynamics,... | |
| Any experience with HRS Harmonic Resolution system I had the loan of the HRS footers and plates for putting on equipment, from a helpful dealer recently and compared them with my Symposium rollerblock juniors and Stillpoints. I found them better than the Symposium and equal to the stillpoints, tho... | |
| How hot is pure Class A solid state vs. SET? In general, I would say a SET will be hotter. I could put my hand on my Aleph 3, comfortably for 20 seconds. The hottest amp I have had was a Viva Solista, you could coook breakfast on that. It is'nt only dependent on the tubes with a SET, the Sol... | |
| 2011 RMAF Analog Reports + Meet and Greet Good luck to everyone. I went to the meet and greet in 09, very enjoyable. The show was the best I have ever been to. From Europe though, it's a once in a lifetime trip, unfortunately | |
| Swiss amps I have heard the Dartzeel monoblocks at a show for a prolonged audition, with magico Q5 speakers and yes they sounded phenomenal. I am not sure with my priorities, I would need anything more than the integrated. Having heard a Nagra and Dartzeel b... | |
| Low-powered, class A, solid-state integrated amps If you would consider a hybrid, Pathos TT is a great Class A amp. I had a Pass aleph 3 for several years, a great amp I only got rid of because I went integrated, | |
| ZYX cartridge looking for advises I know of the good reputation of Sorasound. I thought he had lost the Zyx distributorship, has he got it back? | |
| Has anyone tried the ayon Orion with zu? I agree about the Mastersound, but the S6, I had one for a while, whilst my main amp was going through a long repair, I thought it was frankly poor. I found it soft, lacking in detail and tonality. Maybe it was just my system. Now Ayon make wonder... | |
| Differences between various Quantum devices Getting back to the differences between devices, Doug reported differences are minimal, that is helpful, but has anyone done an A/B comparison between them. The answer is probably not, but I'd like to hear if anyone has. | |
| Acoustic zen adiago vs. other $ 2k speakers? i owned the Adagios too, second hand I think they are near $2000 and they always seem to be on sale. I agree with Kappa11, very good value, even full price. Fast detailed good imaging. I had to more than double the price to significantly improve o... | |
| Differences between various Quantum devices I second that, it isolates you from the mains via a battery, creating a clean mains source. I have'nt tried many power conditioners, only the Kemp power source before. I am really impressed at what the 1050 has done for my system, I've been using ... | |
| Differences between various Quantum devices That's good to know John. I rate Pure Power very highly, so it's nice to know you found a clear improvement with the QX4. Do you pass the mains through the QX4 to the APS 2000. I know that is the way you are supposed to do it, but I spoke to a Nor... | |
| Differences between various Quantum devices Thats helpful Chuck. In as far as I understand what Quantum is about, I thought it was'nt to do with cleaning the mains. If it is I have a good power regenerator the Pure Power APS 1050 to do that and I would'nt need a QX4. Therefore I am not sure... | |
| Best Integrated Amp You Ever Heard? I have been using integrated amps for about 10 years, Karan, Lavardin, Viva and a number of others. Al were good, except the Karan K180, I did'nt like at all. The 2 I have at the moment are the best so far. Firstly Pathos Inpol2, a hybrid Class A ... |
