Kharma Ceramique in a small room ?
I replaced the MIT with a loaned Nordost Red Dawn speaker cable and this seems to be a perfect match in my system. No more overemphasis on the lower end of the sound but instead a well controlled yet deep bass with an incredible transparancy. I wi... 
Kharma Ceramique in a small room ?
Hi guys,I've got the Kharma's since yesterday and they sound fabulous. Maybe a bit full on the low end, but this can be managed. But I agree that in a bigger place they would perform better. Problem is that the local WAF does not allow me to move ...

Thanks guys for the recommendations. Maybe I'll start with power conditioning: do you know Isotek Sub II ? My listening space isn't treated... what would you suggest? Isn't the MIT M3 a copper cable?@ Boa: glad to hear you know the Flemish Lion !!...

Audio Aero Pirma DAC versus MF TriVista 21 DAC
Well, I know it sounds 'weird' since the AA gets rave reviews, but since I got the AA (8/2004) there is a certain 'sharpness' in the sound wich gives me pain in the ears. Maybe it's not the AA that's causing it, but I tested a Mus. Fid. Tubalog be...

Latest news: I ordered the Metronome T1A Signature to replace the T 20 signature... The Prima is doing very well as dac and as preamp !I bought the Plnius SA201 which is a 'gentle giant'. Bye,Renaat

Hi guys, here is the rest of my story. I have the Krell KAV 2250 here at my place and guess what? I've decided to buy a Plinius. The Krell is crisper and more detailed indeed, but the Plinius sounds more musical to me. Altough the Krell isn't hars... 
Audio Aero Prima DAC
Hi,today I heard the Krell KAV 2250 power amp directly connected to my Prima DAC. Compared to the Plinius the sound was (much) more open and layered (three dimensionality). There was more detail without being harsh. Plinius is a bit smoother thoug...

I got the Plinius 8200P on a trial basis and compared it to Perreaux E160. Perreaux is too smooth for me, Plinius gives lots of detail but with enough 'body'. Think I'll stick with Plinius, but it will be the new P8 or SA 201.

I don't have Classé amp, but a Classic : this is a Chinese amp. My system doesn't sound 'bad' at all, but I'm missing a bit of warmth. And yes indeed, I'm on the beginning of the end of my system-upgrade-disease. My IC's are from the German brand ...

Audio Aero Prima DAC
Hi Guys,You know what? I think I don't sleep enough and my ears are suffering from fatigue... I get +/- the same 'pain' when I listen to other equipment at friends. I'm looking now for another power amp. I'll get the Plinius 8200P on a trial basis...

Hi Golden Ears,1. DAC is connected directly in to the power amp;2. No power filtering is used (yet), I use Siltech's Octopus;3. DAC is now playing about one month continiously.Renaat (is my prename, Mattheus my name BTW) :)
