| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri Hi Deaf, I would suggest an S/Pdif on Coaxial if you have the ability to connect that way.A digital co-ax would be highly preferable to the Toslink. I use a Harmonic Tech Platinum digital cable that seems to be a good connection as an example of a... | |
| Review: Sonus Faber Guarnieri Homage Speaker Thank you jd_df. I would recommend that when you get back home, that you give the SF's that will most likely match your room and budget a listen. Matching to the room is probably the most important aspect in speaker selection. Many times, a smalle... | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri Deaf_in_left_eye, I can't talk for the other posters, but when I talk about your front end, I am referring to your source components. The Toslink connection IMHO, needs to be tossed (pun intended). I'm not sure that the imac with flac files is the... | |
| Amps for Sonus Faber Stradivari Homage Microstrip, if it's in the budget, you might want to wait for the release of the Jeff Rowland Model 925 monos. I think Rowland amps mate very well with SF's. The model 925 promises to be really something special. | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri Hi Onemug, I agree with what you say about a sub. However, don't you think that in a room as small as Deaf's and mine that a sub is likely to overload the room and cause more problems than good?I have actually heard the Yamaha's that deaf is refer... | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri Deaf_in_left_eye.I agree with most everything that Lloydelee21 has said. Without a doubt, the GH's are NOT going to plumb the depths of music reproduction. As I said before, they fall off fairly drastically below about 50hz. A sub would be a very ... | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri Deaf_in_left_eye, I think that as I have said before, you are simply NOT hearing the GH's for what they can do.As we talked about before, the other equipment that you are using is just not in the same league as the GH's! What you are now listening... | |
| Think I want a tube system? Umm Unsound, I think that you may be a little confused... SET's are amps(usually)and my argument is that the Preamp section is more important. Sure SET wouldn't drive Apogees; BUT then neither would most any other tube amp or ss amp for that matte... | |
| Think I want a tube system? Unsound, you might want to try a great tube preamp in your system and then get back to me.Tom, take your very nice BAT preamp out and replace it with a cold ss preamp and I would be interested to see what you would think then, OTOH, leave the BAT ... | |
| Think I want a tube system? Hifihvn, I disagree with you. I think that the preamp is a MAJOR factor in where your sound comes from. Get the preamp wrong and the rest is history.BUT with the right preamp and the wrong amp, well you may get an acceptable sound. IMHO, a good tu... | |
| SF Guarneri Homage or SF Extrema? Interesting renewal of this thread. Right now I am discussing with another member on another forum the merits of the GH's vs. the Extrema's.As some have said before, the Extrema's can drop down lower into the bottom end than the GH's BUT need a lo... | |
| cardas hexlink golden 5c speaker cable Jmlab926, I agree with you that the Cardas is warm, slow and less revealing than the Nordost cables. However, i much prefer the Red Dawn V2 to the Blue Heaven.In my system the Blue Heaven was way too bright and cold... The RedDawn v2 is much more ... | |
| Linn LP-12 still competitive with the very best? Syntax, so you have heard the new Radikal power supply with the Keel and Ekos SE?BTW, I never remember the 'fully loaded' tables being 'very cheap' BUT I guess that is a relevant term!Not being a dealer, you do have an impressive collection of gea... | |
| cardas hexlink golden 5c speaker cable I used to own Hex Golden 5C speaker cables in a bi-wire run. They are, as Artmaltman remembers.. very warm and frankly not very revealing of finer detail.I sold them for Highwire's, which were far more revealing and were overall a lot more involvi... | |
| Review: Sonus Faber Guarnieri Homage Speaker Hi Jd_df, I have not heard the Signums, so cannot really form an opinion on the comparison. What SF's are you using now? |
