    YG Acoustics to debut Reference 3 Series at Munich High End 2023

    The new crossovers are really something, never saw anything like it. At Munich they had the Hailey 3 crossover (if I remembder it right) on display. I took pictures of it, here they are

    YG Acoustics to debut Reference 3 Series at Munich High End 2023

    My YG dealer talked directly with YG - there's no change with the mid-woofer and woofer cones for the 3.2, these are the same like in the 2.2. And the crossover upgrade is a change of the complete crossover. The only thing I don't know is if YG upgraded the damping material between the layers of...

    As always YG offers to upgrade the Sonjas 2.2 and 2.2i to the current version 3. The upgrade comes in 3 stages - only the tweeter, tweeter plus crossover or the the complete upgrade with tweeter, crossover and new face plate. Does anybody aready know the costs for the upgrades? Additionally...

    QSA LANEDRI Series

    @romaz - thanks for your considerations. My system consists of a SACD-transport connected with a proprietary connection to DAC, preamp, two stereo power amps, speakers at the moment. The speakers are passive biamped, so I'm using 2 pairs of speaker cables. That makes it more expensive regarding...

    QSA LANEDRI Series

    Besides of LAN and Ultimate cables, what do you think which of the Gamma cables would have the most impact in a system? I'm quite curious about the QSA-Lanedri cables, but my budget is very tight. With the introductory prices I could go with 1 Gamma Infinity speaker or XLR cable (or maybe 2...

    Endgame monoblock amp choice

    If your budget allows it I‘d recommend EMM Labs MTRX2 mono amps for endgame. They are stable to at least 2 Ohms, they have more than enough power to drive whatever speaker and they are not getting hot. Ok, if you push them, they get quite warm but not hot.

    CH Precision D1.5 Transport : Extension of a new horizon

    Does anybody already had the chance to make a direct comparison between D1 and D1.5 as transports? It's quite obvious that the D1.5 as a complete player is surely better than the old D1. But if you use it just as a transport it's probably more subtle. Would it be worth to get a new D1.5 instead...

    AC Preamps: Impera II & Impera Signature

    I'm quite curious if the Impera would be still better than a L1 (plus X1) in a CH Precision chain (and without looking at the prices). I've already read the exciting Impera review from hifi-advice.com (who uses himself a C1 and a A1.5 in his reference system), but I'm still wondering. Still I'm...

    Preamp Decision – L1 Stereo, L1 Mono or C1 Mono alone

    Thanks CKKeung for your recommendation and the links to your reviews. I already read both threads before but surely missed the part about your findings that a L10 stereo still betters a 4 box L1 mono. From other reviews about the L10 it seems that the L10 do things completely different than the...

    Preamp Decision – L1 Stereo, L1 Mono or C1 Mono alone

    Thanks for your thoughts, Gian. So it's rather without any doubt here that the C1 works better with a L1 at the front.

    Preamp Decision – L1 Stereo, L1 Mono or C1 Mono alone

    And this special offer is about "only" 3 boxes, it's just one X1 with two regulator boards. But you're right, rack space and especially a lot more good power cords aren't cheap either.

    Preamp Decision – L1 Stereo, L1 Mono or C1 Mono alone

    The main reason for going with L1 stereo or L1 mono instead of a L10 is that the mentioned L1 is about 3-4 years old and accordingly cheaper. And the L10 is out of reach, the second hand L1 mono plus X1 is still much money but in reach for me.

    Preamp Decision – L1 Stereo, L1 Mono or C1 Mono alone

    Many thanks for sharing your own experiences with the L1, it seems I really should go the route with the L1. The big question still is how much difference is between L1 stereo and L1 mono? Is the price difference really worth the extra effort?

    Preamp Decision – L1 Stereo, L1 Mono or C1 Mono alone

    Many thanks for your suggestions, sounds very promising for the L1. And regarding the M10, I also heard from different sources that it's apparently better than even the M1.1 monos.

    Preamp Decision – L1 Stereo, L1 Mono or C1 Mono alone

    Thanks for your thoughts. After reading other threads here I wasn't really sure about it. And what got me thinking are the reviews at hifi-advice.com. The reviews there are usually very detailed and insightful. The reviewer himself has a C1 and a A1.5 (and also a P1) in his system...
