| mono amp advice With the Sophia's large bass driver, I would recommend staying with solid state to better control the bass driver and allow the mids to sound their clearest.Although a bit higher than your budget, the new Metronome AMT-70 Class-A mono amps ($18k/p... | |
| What Integrated Amp for Reynaud Offrandes I highly recommend the Symposium products - try the new couplers beyween the amp and Ultra.You're really gonna love the NAF 845!Our demo NAF 845 Integrated Spec Ed is available and all we ask is someone to post their comments to help spread the wo... | |
| What Integrated Amp for Reynaud Offrandes Gary,Yep, the amp is heavy! I have found improved sonics by using quality after market footers/isolation components. I'm just not a fan of rubber feet.btw, since Audax is no longer making the Aergel drivers used by JMR and others, what drivers wil... | |
| DC Metro Hey DC Guys,I will be in the the DC area in July & Aug. If your group is interested in my demonstrating the Metronome digital components such as the state-of-the-art Kalsita transport, please contact me. [email protected] info at http://ww... | |
| What Integrated Amp for Reynaud Offrandes Gary,After you receive the NAF 845 Integrated, you can tweek with some tube rolling. I especially recommend the Tung-Sol/Chatham rectifier that we use in the demo unit here. Although the RCA rectifier is very good, the T-S is significantly more tr... | |
| Anyone into GOMEZ? He was great in the "Adams Family" - a much better show than that other one! :-) I think the actor, John Aston, passed saway a few years ago but at one time was married to Patty Duke if memory recalls correctly. | |
| Boost system performance via isolation? Symposium Rollerblocks and Isis rack - it's simply the best (cue Tina Turner)Jim Ricketts/tmh audio | |

| Reference DACS: An overall perspective I discovered this thread and would like to respectfully add the Metronome "C2A Signature" DAC. It has a tube output, a separate matching chassis for the elaborate power supply as well as other advanced features. The Metronome C2A Signature seems t... | |
| Any experience with Graham Metronome Gaia TT As the North American distributor of Metronome, we introduced the "Gaia" turntable at the recent Stereophile show in LA to raves re: the sonics, aesthetics and quality. We humbly agree.The arm used at the show was a Graham Phantom and Bob Graham h... | |
| LA Show Report Darkmoebius,You must have arrived when Steve Hoffman was doing his seminar - packed like sardines! Steve was regaling us with his stories including one about Ray Charles visiting Circuit City to buy a walkman - funny stuff and nice to hear the pri... | |
| to replace or not to replace accuphase DAC Dazzdac (I like that name!),The new series from Metronome are spectacular and the Kalista transport is nothing short of state-of-the-art. The Kalista has been reviewed as the most resolving/neutral transport out there and comparable to vinyl. Aest... | |
| Recommend relatively obscure high end tube preamps Another vote for the New Audio Frontiers "Absolute" preamplifier. As a note, our company is the US distributor of NAF and with extensive experience with the Wavac products....the NAF "Absolute" is very special and thankfully a very honorable compa... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Muratc, as the North American distributor of Metronome, the Kalista is very analog sounding as you indicated. I wanted also mention the matching C2-A DAC uses a tube output. One can fine tune the sound with some tube rolling. It is really an amazi... | |
| Reference Transports: An overall perspective Henryhk: Yes, lots of great transports/DACS originate from Japan. But as the NA distributor of the French Metronome, I must state the T2-i Sig is a world Class-A transport/DAC in 2 chassis. The even more stunning 2-chassis Kalista transport (in so... |
