    Soulnote Integrated Amplifiers

    Well, yes and no. I have talked with reviewer who had both A3 and A2, he seems to think that A3 is quite step up, but show conditions that i attended did not really show this.. I will soon go and compare A3 vs A2 at dealer, but until then: They were up to show in Helsinki Highend exhibition...

    Hi, do you know any scam hifi websites? Few years ago there was one selling equipment for too cheap as "used", can't remember name but it was closed after a while (or blocked from google search). There was even thread about it here. Here i think is one new: https://www.audiohifistore.com/

    Yup, its casted metal, probably bronze.. But let's not tell it to PYP. Chemicals used to in casting that stuff are incredible hazardous though.. When i was i child we used to have a couple as a neigbours who casted bronze and sculpted also from other materials. They both died later from being...

    True! I wouldn't even want to think what it would make to do that in the finnish wintern.. When i was in the army, i did on my nightwatch a cross out of pine resin. I collected resin, used lighter to separate the lighter liquid and used large mushroom as a mould with knife. It resulted in...

    Taneda Santōka is one of my favourite poets. Son of wealthy sake factory owner, drinked and wasted away all the wealth, everything. Tried to kill himself, was taken in by monk and set to wander aimlessly around Japan writing haiku poems, bloody marvelous stuff. Here is one: Men, women, And...

    All New Yamaha NS 5000 Speakers..... World-Beaters ?

    Crazy good sound trough youtube compression, kudos! I like dome midranges and i think that zylon midrange is probably the best there is on the market bar none (for domes).. What did you use before Conrad Johnson and how did you like it? Right now i have Soul Note A2 SE with luxman pre, and i...

    SET amp owners thread

    I have same experience with beryllium and other metal drivers, they can be made more ear friendly but it need a lot more "tricks" (progressively dampening listening room, oil caps crossover, 2-3db minus slope on hearing problem regions, downhill sloping fr, higher crossover 3 or 4th, etc..) in...

    SET amp owners thread

    I also find it strange that he does not share any measurement on his gear, i asked and was ignored. Would it be too much to ask for a simple measurement? Ps: he put you on ignore..

    SET amp owners thread

    Hi Ralph, M-60 is something i might be interested in at some point.. Anyway, can you show harmonic distortion measurement of M-60? (with it's 2db feedback model) -I thought even a little feedback always introduces odd spectrum?

    I don't really disagree with most what you re saying, but Nelson Pass has written about this topic of third harmonics, they made several test about this in pass labs how different listeners feel about harmonics: " Harmonic Distortion and Sound Many audiophiles believe that 2nd harmonic is to be...

    Soulnote Integrated Amplifiers

    Well, i wrote about it on other forum, so pasting it in here: No idea about higher end like A3, would love to hear it one day.. One polish reviever who made a test about it(and also testes A2) thinks it is better in than my A2 in basically all parametres...

    Integrated amp under $10 K recommendations

    I can vouch for soulnote, since i own A2 SE. For my taste: -i listen lot of badly recorded music (like 80's italian progressive rock), so i want a gear that can sound great on good recordings, and also good on bad recordings. Showing their faults, but doing it smooth way so you can concentrate...

    Venit, vidit, Lampucera

    Well , i actually ordered the kit from china, same as in video. It should come in a month or two, and as it happens i already have in stock 2.2uf audyn true copper in hand + case.. I have to design and build my speaker on the side though, so no idea of any timelines but lampucera is happening..

    Venit, vidit, Lampucera

    You should if you want, i have changed many capacitors in gear, but not to same brand and just bigger value. If you do it, report away what you hear.. Also parts quality matter, audio note dac 1.1x and 5.5x has same circuit, more expensive has better parts.

    No idea. never heard Lampizator before so interested to see how this one sounds.. I have heard gustard R26 (that iiwi compared) and i think it is a very fine dac, my friend who owns it does not like that it makes instruments larger than they are sometimes but i don't care, i like it big. Only...
