    Linn Sondek 50th anniversary, really that good?

    If a TT can bring this much heated debate in such a short time then it must be worth buying… I am getting it then..

    Ideon Absolute E and Time Demo

    Been dealing with the same dealer for ages and had spent more than what I want to mention. They have been straight up honest and supported me through my audio journey for a while. I know their whole family and they do too vice versa, so it’s not about that. They are not a dealer for Wadax and...

    Linn Sondek 50th anniversary, really that good?

    Thank you very much for the encouraging words. There must be a reason Linn Sondek is the most popular in my country and I think I cannot go wrong with LP12-50….some might think it’s ridiculously priced (especially on our neighbor’s forum) but I don’t think so at all, so I would be fine and happy...

    Ideon Absolute E and Time Demo

    Reviving this thread, I am in the same situation right now. My dealer have the Ideon + Time on stock and I have heard it and it was wonderful, but I have also read too many statements saying that the Horizon is the bees knees…I am also considering Wadax but my dealer said now it’s not possible...

    Linn Sondek 50th anniversary, really that good?

    I listened to a LP12 Klimax and was astonished, hence my interest in LP12-50 and I understand how it is priced. I used to like the Kuzma due to its heft and brass color (audio aesthetic is important for me) but as I grow older my tastes changes too, now I like the simplicity, unassuming and...

    Linn Sondek 50th anniversary, really that good?

    How good is Linn Sondek 50th anniversary? Will be paired with HSE Swiss Vareq ML-7 phono. Currently using Kuzma XL-DC with MSL Platinum cart and would like something slimmer to fit my new taste and room.

    Todd's AG Trio G3 System -- it's about time

    Yes, the two rooms was side by side so it was easy to swap amps. Indonesia High End Audio Show 2023 (IHEAC 2023).

    Todd's AG Trio G3 System -- it's about time

    Just a statement; I am by no any way, shape or form try to denigrate those who prefers iTron or SS in general. In fact, most of audiophile I know around me 85-90% of the time will pick ss over tubes, my dealer definitely sold way more high end ss than tubes. I am in the minority perhaps but my...

    Todd's AG Trio G3 System -- it's about time

    I actually appreciated his honesty very much. Not everyone will admit what is so obvious and that fact will actually make me a loyal customer to AG. If he said otherwise then I know that he is talking out of his own interest and that’s not cool

    Todd's AG Trio G3 System -- it's about time

    I am committed to my dealer because he is also supporting me in every audio quests. He is a dealer for Kondo so I will stick with Kondo which I already have anyway, and no, with my recent experience of iTron vs Ongaku I don’t think I will ever venture into SS world. What I heard when they tested...

    Even AG’a own guy admitted that Ongaku sounded better than iTron… that’s quite something

    Todd's AG Trio G3 System -- it's about time

    I did…I overheard when he was talking about you to another person and that was the reason I recognized him ….My dealer will do the deal for Horizon DAC on my behalf, can’t wait!!

    Todd's AG Trio G3 System -- it's about time

    Hi all, I am back!! Sorry for disappearing for such a long time, deepest apology to @christoph for ignoring his PM for DAC due to my recent problem, I ran into some massive problems on my investment in Dubai and got a massive headache from it, all good now. I got the chance to attend Indonesian...

    Todd's AG Trio G3 System -- it's about time

    I had nothing to do today and was bored at my office, so I decided to just go to the dealer because the owner is going to be there. Played around with toe in, speaker distance and modified the listening chair in the showroom so that my ear cannal is at exactly 110 cm from floor when sitting...

    Todd's AG Trio G3 System -- it's about time

    initially I was thinking about Duo GT for the same reason as yours. Trio + basshorns are beyond humongous and will block my view to the garden….I sometimes regret demoing the Trio G3, because now I cannot live with less…

    Out of curiosity, can you tell me more about your 14 meters cable? RCA/XLR? Brand/model?

    Todd's AG Trio G3 System -- it's about time

    Probably about 5% - 10% max, yes the iTron won in that matter but I felt big part of it was because of the really bad IC cable arrangement and suboptimal speaker cable on the Kondo. I might sound like a Ongaku fanboy which I am, but Ongaku in my limited experience is the only tube amps that...

    Todd's AG Trio G3 System -- it's about time

    hi @sbnx, I need a pair of very long interconnect for my analog, due to the sheer size of G3 and the basshorns taking up the space on the front wall I will have to move my analog to the side closer to where I am sitting. As for the other long pair, I was under the assumption that the basshorns...

    I happen to have the said Duelund cables installed in my car audio, these were 5 m each and fully burned in. I will pull these out from the car and give it a try next week. Thanks so much for the information

    Todd's AG Trio G3 System -- it's about time

    need to edit my statement. I was confused between Sablon cables and Zenwave cables… few years ago I was inquiring about Zenwave as a possible alternative for oh so expensive Siltech DC/TC….At that time Sablon Audio main attention from this forum was the LAN cable, everybody talks about it and...

    Todd's AG Trio G3 System -- it's about time

    It’s one thing that sometimes cross my mind…my inability to use XLR, but I’ve done multiple back to back test between RCA and XLR on long run interconnect and I never think that I lost a lot if any, at least judged by my tinnitus ear.. I use Duelund cables on my car audio for long run RCA...

    Todd's AG Trio G3 System -- it's about time

    In the new room I will need a pair of 8 m RCA for my analog, a pair of 5 m RCA, a pair of 6 m power cable and a pair of 4 m speaker cable if I want to make everything looks neat and tidy. My new room is not that much bigger than my old room at only 7 x 6 m, but G3 plugs and terminals are...

    I happen to be very frugal when buying Siltech cable at that price level, I never buy pre owned equipments but I do with cables. Friends, Audiogon and US Audio Mart are my go to source…but yes you are right and thank you very much for reminding me about Sablon cables…just the other night my wife...

    Todd's AG Trio G3 System -- it's about time

    With my limited experience, I never liked AG horns before the Trio G3, in my opinion WVL horns are much better than all the previous AG before the Trio G3.

    Todd's AG Trio G3 System -- it's about time

    Never, I know Sablon has been mentioned many times as being a really good silver cable without breaking the bank….There is no distro here so I have to buy direct if I want to give it a try, I actually exchanged messages with Sablon a couple of years ago but I suddenly lost motivation at that...

    Ooooohhhhh please :eek: I can’t say I didn’t think about that since G3 is 109db…Let’s stop now o_O

    @sbnx , thanks so much for the tune up tips! I couldn’t thank you enough for your post detailing your journey with your Trio G3. These has given me a new lease in my audio passion. To be totally honest, lately I have been contemplating to just buy Devialet and to quit the hobby altogether due to...

    very very natural on Ongaku, to the point with eyes closed, one would think he/she is in a life play…but this is my opinion.
