    Sonus Faber Reference Series - Best preamp/amp/integrated options

    Cheers. Some nice options. Tried a few options and so far my favourite is Audia Flight Strumento MK2, very nice. Not quite as dynamic as the CH and I owned but bit more natural sounding. To be honest, I owned both at the same time and wasn’t much in it. Both great products as I’m sure are the...

    Gryphon Antileon Signature or Antileon Evo

    Han_n I’ve owned the L1 so know it well, what are the sound characteristics between the L1 and Pandora. I also know the M1.1 amp very well and find it to be a brilliant amp. My only reason to change is both personal and a system matching requirement. Vienna Interested too in your...

    Gryphon Antileon Signature or Antileon Evo

    Rockport Speakers - So any owners use third party isolation instead of supplied spikes

    Hi John (sorry about the mixup on the name) I’ve had my room analysed by a professional using REW and have a heap of treatment coming that includes floor to ceiling bass traps, diffusion and some side wall absorption. Any of the panels that have absorption also have a diffuser on the front to...

    Rockport Speakers - So any owners use third party isolation instead of supplied spikes

    Hi Jeff That’s a good question. Coming from Magicos, missing the bass definition I had with their sealed cabinets and mid bass punch. I believe some if this is room related as there is definition but it’s being masked by uneven bass response I didn’t get with the Magicos. Also wanting some...

    Rockport Speakers - So any owners use third party isolation instead of supplied spikes

    Thanks for the replies. I’ve been checking out the Townshend Isolation Podiums. Hard to say what difference they will make on my non-suspended floors. No ability to trial them first. Can get access to some Ultra 5’s to try out. I went through this to a lesser extent when I owned Magicos but...

    Rockport Speakers - So any owners use third party isolation instead of supplied spikes

    Hi All As an owner of Rockport Aviors, wondering if anyone uses something different then the supplied spikes to isolate/couple the speaker? I’ve got hardwood floors on top of a concrete pad and these have me interested...

    CH Precision L1/M1.1 Gain settings

    Hi All Recently acquired the wonderful L1 and M1.1 combination and was wondering what gain settings you use on either the preamp, amplifier or in combination together?
