I just posted this review in Spanish for a local forum down here, I translated it through the Google translator tools - hope it is reasonably "readable".

I just finished a detailed listening session of the Danish Atila / Scorpio couple from Gryphon, a brand that I am...

As many of you are aware, Mexico had a quite strong earthquake last Sep 19 at 1:19 PM. The earthquake was felt and damaged seven states in the country, with more damage in the states of Oaxaca and Morelos, rated at 6.1 Richter Scale.
Problem here was its acceleration factor, since it was...
I know I will regret selling this piece, just as I did with my Marantz 7c but my son's college fees are reaching fast so...
Absoloutly mint - some RCA in the input section have never been used, not a single scratch and equiped with the largest PSU.
I have never had a most musical sounding...
Too many cartridges and just one arm now, selling my second best cartridge I have had after the Blue Angel Mantis - this one has seen little use and has been in its box most of the time, less than 450 hrs of use.
Great tracking, resolution and dynamics - no CDP touches its warm sound yet in my...
Hello!
I am looking to upgrade from my good (and not that old) Clearaudio Sigms S Gold to either a Kiseki or a Koetsu sound. As much as I like the Clearaudio, I am looking for a cartridge that could bring some additional inner detail and fleshed-out presentation.
I will appreciate your...
I have around 3 hours listening to this system in my listening area, I will post detailed findings IMO once I reach some additional hours, so far this is one of the most analogue-sounding set-up I have heard here, excellent detail rendering that one can listen for hours, great presence and...
Now I understand...

A friend lend me this amp for audition, sounds pretty amazing but few lines were found in the web, does anyone have heard of this French audio manufacturer?
I will sure regret this, but such is life in the audiophile world!
I have the opportunity to get a much more expensive turntable and looking to fund this project, so I will post this on AGON next week but wanted to first run this ad here within fellow WBF members.

Thanks to a loan from my local dealer, I am having the opportunity to try the Passion and Obsession line of power and interconnect cables from Echole. I had a full Sunday to start trying them (and still going to have some additional days to fully discover this products) but wanted to post here...
that is the rough part of i) owning tube gear, ii) make cable changes "on the fly" and iii) have audiophiles friends at home!
Now I need to get a matched pair for my Conquest amp (did I hear four to match the other mono block??)
I have just added this piece to my system after a long listening period (about a month), I would start saying that I have not yet heard here the usual TOTL designs from Zanden, dCS and the like, but I can firmly assure this has been the best DAC I have owned.
My notes read: silvery-analog like...

After a 16 year loyalty to BMW cars, I changed my 525i for this:
But the main reason to post this was a thought I got from driving back home last night, the Infiniti is a different car compared to the BMW for sure, while almost same price tag, rear wheel drive, similar size/weight, one is...
...and not feeling sorry!
I got a DeHavilland pre/power combination for evaluation at home, these are direct-heated SETs with plenty of power even to the extent of driving my Avalons at more than decent peak levels without strain (I recorded peaks of 95dB).
The best of both worlds were my...
I am invited to attend the Absolare launch in Mexico tomorrow, same dealer as for Meitner, JRDG, Raidho and partners of SORA sound. I will post my listening notes as soon as I return from this event!
I am very close to decide on taking a SS route back, and will have a Halcro 38 amp/10 preamp for audition shortly. I was wondering if anyone here have had experience with this combo, how Halcro as a company looks in the long run and the like...
(For the record, I currently own Jadis class-A...
I will post this watch in eBay in two weeks, but wanted to share it here first.
This is a limited edition, dual fascia (Analog and Digital) Tag Heuer Monaco model, massive and distinct design, the best Monaco offered by Tag Heuer IMO, selling it to fund other projects and making some space in...
This is not the first time that I share my willingness to take more out of the What's Spinning Tonight thread that Myles started some years ago. It represents and incredible source of music/artists for many of us, but has grown so fast that is almost impossible to take the most out of it.

Up for sale is a pair of 90cms long Siltech FTM4 Gold RCA interconnect cables - I bought these used some 5 years back and always have been my reference cables, new lengths requierements due to my recent setup force me to get larger Siltech cables -...
