Amplifier for Sonus Faber Guarneri EVO's
Sorry, no.I have SF Guarneri Evolutions in Walnut now. 
Bricasti M28 amps who owns then and thoughts?
Just placed my order for them...anxiously waiting.Will be paired with the Bricasti M1 and Sonus Faber Guarneri Evolutions.I'll follow up with some feedback once they are installed and have had some time to settle in. 
Luxman L-550AX
I have a new one on the way now. Bought it without ever hearing one. Very anxious for it to arrive. Also ordered a Sumiko Blackbird HO MC to use with it. I've heard very good things about it and it's phono stage. 
Fading Display on NAD M3
Firmware update installation will solve this issue by allowing you to push the tone and balance button on the facia at the same time for about 5 seconds and the entire vacuum display will light up and you let it burn in for 48 hours like that. The... 
Amplifier for Sonus Faber Guarneri EVO's
I love them!The cabinet construction is worlds better than my previous Olympica IIs.The rigidity and vibration control is amazing! There is no sense of cabinet sound whatsoever. I'm pretty impressed, though they need some time to break in. They ha... 
Amplifier for Sonus Faber Guarneri EVO's
Lots of photos of the new setup up on Audio Aficionado and also Audio Shark right now. I will eventually update my profile system on Audiogon too, but it is a lengthy process by comparison. :-)Also added a VPI Classic One in black with a DV Karat ...

Mine arrived this morning. :-) It good and bad day...my dealer mistakenly shipped only one of the stands...Boo! Oh well, mistakes happen, were all human and he's a good dude. He is overnighting the other one to me and it will arrive tomorrow.A lit...

Which cabling have you EVO owners found to be a good match?I understand that cabling will depend on other components, though most cable brands have a bit of a "house sound" in my experience and wondering what type of cable benefits the EVOs? I am ... 
Amplifier for Sonus Faber Guarneri EVO's
Hi Tboooe,I have admired your system pics numerous times. I went from a smaller simpler system in the past up to a fairly complicated system recently with larger speakers, many boxes, balanced cabling, etc. and always felt it was a bit too much. Y... 
Amplifier for Sonus Faber Guarneri EVO's
The EVOs should arrive on Friday. I am very anxious for them to arrive.I purchased a couple of options to try for the time being - a Rega Brio-R integrated (something for background listening that doesn't burn up tubes) and the new Primaluna Dialo... 
Amplifier for Sonus Faber Guarneri EVO's
The Bryston 4 BSST2 is an amp I have owned in the past, though it is not a true balanced amplifier - only has XLR inputs. This irritated me once I found this out after I purchased it. I sold it a few years back. It is very powerful, but not the so... 
Room size & choosing speakers
Just curious about your thoughts on the new Sonus Faber Olympica I. I understand you didn't care for it, but wondering what specifically you didn't like. My dealer has not received his yet. They look gorgeous from photos, but I am guessing they wi... 
Room size & choosing speakers
I have the 805D's paired with the REL R528 in a room that is 11'X15'. I have tried quite a few larger models over the past five years and I wholeheartedly agree with monitors being the best for your room size. Any floorstander is going to over pow... 
Anybody hear the Sonus Faber Venere?
I have returned them. They were not a good fit for me. I listened extensively to both the 4 and 8 ohm taps on my ARC Ref 110 and neither seemed to be a great fit. The 6 ohm impedance and 3.1 minimum impedance are not really tube amp friendly. Soun...
