Hi Phil,

Dream speaker cables are awesome for the Princes recently I am listening also Jorma Prime it's fantastic as well.

Enjoy your Hansens.

update
Jorma Origo interconnect added, amazing but needs lots of burn-in.

Hi Jfrech
The Sonus faber are sold.
I am using 2 amps because gryphon gets too hot especially in the summer and makes the audition to a spa experience (hahaha).

I do not listen to much hi-rez through mac but it's something that will do more in the future.

Thanks!

Thanks for the comments Rsg92.

Yes the Stealth dream powercords improving with break-in. But have in mind that are on the neutral side and may reveal things behind the chain.

Hi Murat congrats on your new Stealth dream cables.

I will make a direct comparison these days in my system.

Stealth are not clinical are neutral and well stealth. Prime in general sounds richer. All is about system synergy IMHO.

Important is that you should use in your Scarlatti the digital version of the Dreams is different and meant to match digital gear. I am using digitalDream through my dCS gear.

Have in mind that there is big gap in price between these 2 cables, especially in Europe.

Happy new year to all and happy listening.

Thank you Ertugrul.

Hansen speakers needs time to burn-in and very good equipment before. But very good equipment.

Yesterday I had some thorough listening with a friend who wants my Amati and after the listening session he asked me to switch to the Hansen Prince V2....you should see his face expression up close. He concluded that Hansen Prince V2 is definitely better and immediately.

As for the preamp you're right, I just received my new preamp Viva audio linea XP in two chassis and will integrate it to my system next week after I receive some tubes for the rectification so I'll let you know.

I tested the new Stealth Sakra interconnect from dCS Puccini to my amplifier in the place of Indra....well I've never thought of a cable better than Indra....Sakra is something different though it is more involving though keeps all the best of Indra.
I'll keep the Indra for a while (mostly to test other preamplifiers and will sell Metacarbon) but Sakra is definitely a keeper.
I also tested both cables Sakra source-Indra pream.amp in a top notch system and it was excellent combination.

Hi Keiserrg and thanks.
I brought Jadis DA88 home for a friend to listen Amati Anniversario unfortunately it did not had the juice to deliver, performed better with Hansen Prince V2 but not ideal; maybe in smaller room.
If you go with Amatis you will need more power.

My Annis are in secondary system for now and preferably I'd like to sell and keep GM for second system.
