Hi Davros, I've been using SF Stradivari since 2004 and used several amp/preamp combos ranging from MBL9008 A monos, Gryphon Antileon Signature stereo, Boulder 1010, Conrad Johnson Premier Sixteen. But now since many years I've been using Soulution 7 series pre power combo. As above posts SF...
I have a totally opposite view of Altanpsx. I own Solution 7-series pre-power and compared to Constellation setup. Both setups sounds not like ss but a little more tube sound on mid ranges and solution is far better on speed and control. Whereas ? did own Gryphons in the past and they are...
Congrats on Strads. a good solid state is giving a much better performance. I have used it with MBL 9008A monos than with gryphon Antileon signature stereo and since last 7 years with Soulution 7 series pre and stereo amp.

Cant comment on Spectral gear since it is not represented in Turkey. But since 5 years I am a very happy and loyal owner of Soulution 700's pre & power combo. I did several auditions vs Soulution combo but nevertheless in all of the cases Soulution was far better on imaging, bass control, really...
I am an SF user since many years now and currently happily using Stradivari since it was introduced. I was disappointed from SF sound with SF Fenice, SF Aida and SF Lilium. They all sound good can compete with a lot of very good speakers but they are not SF tough they look like it. The only...
One of the finest MC heads. I have bought it about a year ago for 2nd arm but since than I did not bought a 2nd arm and this gorgeous Koetsu was sitting and waiting its turn from Goldfinger.
Fremer wrote in his review of Koetsu in 2008 "Regardless of musical and sonic tastes, I can't imagine...
I had esoteric p-03 for several years and last 3 years I am using Metronome Kalista reference and it is still far better than esoteric. Despite the fact that you can not word sync it with your dac. One clear advantage of metronome vs esoteric was the deliverance of transparency of the record and...
