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.
After replacing about 70% of my components, now it is the time to “fix” my analog front end, that and I really am bored to death right now waiting for my recovery from back surgery. Today, inspired by a thread from @CKKeung...
Not sure where to post this question but the tube only sub is pretty quiet so I post this here.
My Kondo Ongaku is the newer model where it comes stock with GZ34 rectifier tubes unlike the Ongaku from Kondo San era where it came stock with GZ37. I already have what is considered the top cream...
Can somebody point me to a link or provide an diagram or schematic of optimum network setup that prioritizing on audio? I will be moving things tomorrow and going to convert my temporary wifi based streaming to a more permanent cable/ethernet connection. First I am going to move my internet...
What do you guys think about HiFiStay rack vs HRS SXRC? It’s gonna be for analog rack, tt on top, phono in the middle, power supply for phono second bottom and power supply for TT on bottom rack. All sitting on solid ground concrete floor with wood covering. Thanks
I need 10 m long RCA interconnect to move my TT closer to where I am sitting. Normally I would just get Siltech Crown/Double Crown/Triple Crown but 10 m of Siltech is just out of my range to even consider. What other cable would you guys recommend? It’s going to connect my Phono to my Preamp. I...
What’s the consensus in doing this? I have a 1.5m Siltech Empress Double Crown XLR and would like to convert it to RCA. I know it’s best to contact Siltech/dealer but re exporting, waiting, re importing, paying more import tax doesn’t sound fun at all to me and I have mad soldering skill. Is it...
What do you guys think about Goebel cables? I am hooked to Siltech upper echelons cable and think there is nothing coming even close to Siltech until I heard Goebel cables, the Goebel wasn’t better, but it was as good as Siltech. Although I still love my Siltech I also have lots of qualms about...
Hi Dave /Zenwave, Uwiik here n audiophile from Jakarta. Your cable has recently caught my attention due to your comparison with Siltech. Due to upcoming system change I might need to change some cables due to incompatibility and getting Siltech again on Crown/Double/Triple Crown level will get...
There is a thread made by me discussing this matter but it went beyond the title of the thread. So I created this new thread to keep things in perspective and to help other members that might be facing similar situation.
I am very confused on speaker selection right now. I have a finish...
Hi all,
Having headache deciding the speaker for my Kondo Ongaku + Kondo G70 27 Watt SET. Liked the Canterbury SE loaner I have but the speaker seems to be a bit underpowered with 27 watts only. Considered Tannoy Kingdom Royal but it doesn’t seem like a good choice, considered Avantgarde Trio...
Hi all,
This is a double post as I am new on WBF, tried posting this on general forum and got no response.
Is there any huge benefit to be had by upgrading from Denali V2 to Everest when running only flea powered SET, Kondo Ongaku in my case. I have Denali V2 on home demo and was impressed by...
Hi WBF’ers,
Is there any sound quality benefit to be had from upgrading from Shunyata Denali V2 to Shunyata Everest on flea powered SET amp such as Kondo Ongaku? I have Denali V2 as home audition and was really impressed by the improvement it provided but I also read some thread stating that...
Hi all,
I am starting the build of my second system downstairs. I’ve already got Kondo Ongaku amp, Kondo G70 preamp and Kronos Pro with Black Beauty Turntable. I’ve auditioned the Avantgarde Uno and Tannoy Canterbury, I liked and impressed by both but found the Canterbury is a bit veiled...
Hi all,

I am in the process of finalizing my front end. Components are as follow:
