I am now still loading at 100 ohms and 2.4g. I have tried 50 ohms for a short while, seems to have more body in female vocals but has revert back to 100 ohms.
Anna Diamond was installed on Friday evening. My XP27 was loaded at 100 ohms and gain set at highest 76db. It is still less than 10 hours and both my dealer and I was impressed with the sound. It is very refined, fast and dynamic. The mids and highs seems to be more open than my previous...
After deliberating for a while, I decided to go for the Anna Diamond. I hope I made the right choice to change from Clearaudio Titanium V2 after using it for a few years. My friend said, we all need a change of flavour/taste. My dealer will be setting it up on Friday. May I know what is the...
Thank you for your advise. I have heard positive comments and recommendations from friends using diamond cantilever but have not personally tried one in my setup. My dealer happens to carry Anna Diamond, Clearaudio and Koetsu Stone cartridge including the Carnelion with diamond cantilver...
I am deciding whether to get a GF Statement or a Anna Diamond. Previously I was using the Clearaudio Titanium V2. I am wondering which one should I get. I just got my SME 30/12 with V12 recently. Any advice is much appreciated.
Passlabs amps can work with many speakers. A friend has a pair of XS monos to drive his WAMM Master Chronosonic and a pair of X600.8 to drive the WAMM Master subsonic and previously I was using XA100.8 driving Sonus Faber Amati Futura and later SF Lilium.
From those friends and the local dealers who helped with the setup of the subwoofers, the consensus is that double subs are better and it is mandatory to have an active crossover to interface between the main speakers and subs. Of course placement of the subs is important as well.
Hi LL21, most of my friends setup are using 2 subwoofers. I did not remember how they set the crossover but I can remember they were using the JL Audio CR-1 Active Crossover. One of the good friend upgraded to Wilson XVX about a year ago and more recently early this year changed to WAMM Master...
No, have not decided yet. A few audiophile friends in Singapore have also recommended some platform. A friend using Vitus is using Critical Mass Maxxum and the results have been positive for him. Another friend also using Vitus recommended SRA. He is using the SRA Virginia Class Reference...
How do you use Stillpoints under the Mephisto? I checked the under chassis of the Mephisto and noticed there are many bolts/nuts. It will be difficult to rest the bottom chassis of the Mephisto on the Stillpoints Ultra.
Thank you for your recommendation. But being located in Singapore, it will be a problem as there is no dealer here and there is no way to audition. What about HRS, Critical Mass Systems or Finite Elemente?
Hi, just last week, I bought a Mephisto stereo amp replacing my Pass XA100.8. Due to the size and weight of the Mephisto, I am placing directly on the concrete floor without any platform or rack. What is the recommended placement for the Mephisto to achieve improvement in sound? Thanks.
I used to have a pair of Guarneri Homage (GH) (without sub) for many years before it was replaced eventually by Amati Futura. Futura sounded significantly better in my setup as compared to GH. It can play much louder without compression, better dynamics, better highs and lows and the scale is...
Over the weekend, my dealer delivered a pair of Lilium replacing my Amati Futura. Out of the box, it sounded surprisingly good and it is significantly better than the Amati Futura. Just wondering any users of the Lilium has any advice to improve the sound of the Lilium such as replacing the...
