| Brinkmann/Spiral Groove/TW Acustic Black Night...? @Sunnyboy1956Very interesting choices indeed ;)Well, I can quite easily audition the Balance and Spiral Groove SG2 locally (maybe even within my own system). But, I need to travel to audition the TW Acustic AC...and I will probably need to travel ... | |
| Nordost Valhalla Power Cords @Jmcgrogan2. Subjective, indeed. Have you ever tried Nordost-cabling throughout your system? | |

| Nordost Valhalla Power Cords Personally, I'm getting more and more convinced that there are drawbacks of mixing and matching cable technologies to much within the same system. All you do is compensating for weaknesses and flaws ending up with a big compromise. A trusted local... | |
| Brinkmann/Spiral Groove/TW Acustic Black Night...? @Captain_winters. Well, I guess it's a matter of system matching and personal preferences. The Brinkmann setup is very revealing (which can be a very good or a not so good thing...). I find it hard to really relax and enjoy about 70-80% of my musi... | |
| Brinkmann/Spiral Groove/TW Acustic Black Night...? @PeterayerI know the Bardo well, and I've also heard the Balance at the Scandinavian distributor of Brinkmann on two occasions. I believe the Balance to deliver more authority and weight, but being a belt-drive design (compared to the direct-drive... | |

Can't wait to get it, hopefully someday next week.I hade the Karan KA S400 on loan before deciding in favour of the KA M2000 monoblocks. The K... | |
| Gryphon Colosseum vs. Karan M2000 monoblocks Thanx :)Goldenote is an Italian brand, most famous for their electronics I believe. I'm using their power cables for my front end at the moment. I haven't evaluated these much, but I find the Goldenote interconnects to be extremely transparent, op... | |
| Gryphon Colosseum vs. Karan M2000 monoblocks Hi,My thread is still alive :DI'm using an Audio Aero La Fontaine CD/Pre directly to the Karan monos at the moment, but I'm planning to add an Aesthetix Callisto Eclipse preamp very soon. Speakers are Sonus Faber Futuras. Cabling is Kubala Sosna E... | |
| Gryphon Colosseum vs. Karan M2000 monoblocks @ArtaleCongratulations, and welcome to the family :) The 2000 monos will be the backbone of my system for many years to come, I'm sure. | |
| Zanden 3000 preamp - how's it holding up? Hi,I'd love to get in contact with owners of the Zanden 3000 preamp for sharing of some thoughts and experiences. | |
| Aesthetix IO Eclipse AR...? Audio Research? | |
| Aesthetix IO Eclipse Thanks for valuable responses!As I live in Scandinavia/Europe, the possibility of auditioning equipment on this level in my own home and system are extremely limited. Even so, I've managed to make most choices so far based on careful evaluation in... | |
| Aesthetix IO Eclipse Well, if being a snobbish arse makes you an audiophile, I think I'll pass. |
