| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri Hi Daveyf I agree that the Nova and also iDecco amps sound thin and unimpressive, so that is why I only use the DAC direct output. My music collection is mainly in FLAC and WAV format, fed from an iMac. They are mostly high-rez (24/96) rips and no... | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri Daveyf and everyone when you talk about upgrading the front end of my system first, are you referring specifically to my iDecco DAC? Many people seem to think this DAC is high-end (although not the amp output stage of the iDecco, which I am not us... | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri Maximum toe-in per Lloydelee21 made a huge difference. Such a dumb and simple thing. I think it drastically reduced reflections off side walls that I hadn't realized were so severe, giving me more "near-field" earview. Right now I'm enjoying a col... | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri Loydelee21I'll toe them in a further as per your suggestion. The Gs are over 4 feet from a bookshelf in front of the back wall, which is a thin Japanese-style plexiglass sliding door. The first true concrete wall is another 8 feet behind the slidi... | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri About my system:Source: iMac playing flac or wav files via Toslink to iDecco DAC output to integrated amps: Luxman L-507, L-309 (both starting from 1973), L-550 (1983), or McIntosh MA6800 (all amps SS). Belden Studio 497 Mk2 speaker cables.My Gs a... | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri Thank you Loydelee21 for taking so much time, and your consideration and thought on this very big issue with me. I really appreciate this.Today I invited my old friend who is a Julliard graduate, ex-player for the NY Phil, and now 1st cello in the... | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri Lloydelee21, Jman, Egidius...thanks for responding. As for what seems missing in the sound to wifey and I, of course there is the "small speaker" factor as we are used to floor-standers with 12-inch woofers, but that's to be expected. I don't mean... | |
| Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh? A Mac MA6800 just rescued my B&W 805s from the brink of being sold. I have had a lower budget system of Yamaha NS-1000Xs and an old Luxman L-507 amp that I've been extremely proud of for many years. It sounds much better than many very expensi... | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri Sorry about the double post. It was unintended. I only refreshed my browser. | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri How about the McIntosh MA6800? At 150 W/channel it is 50W/channel less than the MA6900. Is it powerful enough to do the Guarneris justice?I found an MA6800 nearby in excellent condition, and am tempted to take it home based on many recs for the MA... | |

| Seasoned ears only I agree completely on the Yammies. I've got two pair, and still feel they are better than almost everything else I've compared them to over the widest spectrum of music over many years.Here I am, about to buy a pair of Sonus Faber Guaneri Homages ... | |
| Sonus Faber Minima versus Cremona Auditor? Oh yeah, and the CD player was an Accuphase DP-77 | |
| Sonus Faber Minima versus Cremona Auditor? I took a bullet train across a large chunk of Japan today to listen to a minty pair of Guanari Homages. MAN! What everyone says about they're kindness to the ears is really true!I tried them with a Goldmund Mimesis 27ME Pre through twin Mimesis 8.... | |
| Sonus Faber Minima versus Cremona Auditor? Oh, maybe I didn't mention I'm looking for Sonus Fabers as small speakers that will often, though not always, be used with full-sized floor-speakers.I want to like them independently, though, so that shouldn't be a big issue.Just like opinions on ... |
