ARC,CAT, SF and JeffThank you jafant. The Esoteric DV-60 makes an incredible sounding transport. Unfortunately, like most all-in-one's, it will not pass through SACD, but I find that there really aren't that many... posted about 1 year ago | View comment | |
Sonus Faber Guarneri systemAdded new Oak plinth and top plate to the LP 12. Only items that were left from my original 90's LP12. Nice increase in SQ due to new braced plinth. posted over 1 year ago | View comment | |
Bliss Hifi Reference System 2024One thing about Vivid speakers, the drivers they utilize are really nothing special at all! Yet, they seem to be able to bring out speakers that are superb sounding and top flite in SQ. The new Moy... posted about 2 years ago | View comment | |
alexatpos's SystemAlex, I have only heard the Accordo's in a couple of systems. The GH's and the Accordo's are certainly cut from the same cloth. Franco knew what he was doing. I think the GH's are slightly more res... posted almost 3 years ago | View comment | |
alexatpos's SystemAlex, you make a great point about the size of the speaker to the room, one which i totally agree with BTW. Indeed smaller is often better.Luckily, in my room, which has smaller width and leng... posted almost 3 years ago | View comment | |
alexatpos's SystemNice system. One question, you stated that the GH's were too big?? Yet you are now using the FS Accordo's. Can you elaborate a little on why the GH's were too big? I have never heard anyone say tha... posted almost 3 years ago | View comment | |

Alabama GetawayNice Esoteric DV50! How does it compare to your also nice Marantz SA-11S2? I used to own a Marantz SA-11S1. Great player. posted about 4 years ago | View comment | |
Sonus Faber Guarneri system@dayglow Subs have really improved in the last few years, as you noted. The older models most likely would not have worked with my SF's. The newer models blend... posted over 4 years ago | View comment | |

Audioarts NYC on 5th Avenue in Manhattan, N.Y.Nice little system. One upgrade path would be to replace the Linn Ittok with something a bit further up the chain...Linn Ekos-SE1 or?? Interesting that the Jadis is loaded with EL34's, vs. the... posted over 4 years ago | View comment | |

Sonus Faber Guarneri systemThank you alan 2. Yes, tube amps are special. I think if one can have both, tube and ss, it is a great idea. Both offer something that the other does not. No right answer though, it's all good. posted almost 5 years ago | View comment | |

Sonus Faber Guarneri systemnoromance, great question...but there is a clear path to the left side of my mono blocks. The guitar case in the first picture usually isn't there. Therefore, accessing the LP12 is quite easy. posted about 5 years ago | View comment | |
