    8 or 4 ohm with a 6 ohm nominal speaker?

    it turns out with my current amp (overture), my LV speakers sound much more nuanced and full bodied on 4ohm. with my previous amp this wasn't the case and i've remained on 8ohm.

    SHINDO NO MORE

    Hi, As someone who had a Monbrison + Montille cv391 combo, i would recommend Kondo. It's not the same sound signature as it will be impossible as each component sound different especially if it's a different brand, but it's in the same general direction if you like Musical, Tube, Live...

    Isolation for Kondo Overture pm-2i

    I've found two great solutions from Oyadie and Acoustic Revive, and got great result with Quartz damping! I didn't need to buy anything new as i already had the stuff. Once in a while i get bored and do trail and error with the "Junk" I've accumulated over the years. Acoustic Revive SIP-8Q...

    Upgrading footers on Living Voice speaker

    Hello, I been using the LV stock spikes footers with a Acoustic Revive SPU-8 combo for years now, and was wondering if replacing them to a high praised footers such as 'IsoAcoustic Gaia III' or maybe a 'Arya audio RevOpods' will upgrade my Living Voice ibx-rw4 performance. The Gaia III are...

    VAC Master preamp vs ARC Ref 6SE

    Why not a d'Agostino preamp? Wouldn't it be a better match for the Momentum? For a jazz lover i would suggest a Kondo or especially a Shindo preamp but i'm sure how does it match with your system..

    The Puritan PSM156

    Does Everything Make a Difference?

    i've only used Ethernet cables. there's nothing special with Nucleus hardware, -Nucleus i3 CPU with 4GB RAM. -Nucleus+ i7 CPU with 8GB RAM. With a tweaked roon rock OS to downclock CPU as it uses passive cooling. There also no official statement from roon that Nucleus improves SQ. Nucleus is...

    Does Everything Make a Difference?

    i don't think "everything" makes a difference. could be in the analog and electric domain, but i don't think in the digital domain. best example is a 'roon core' especially if it connected to a 'roon ready' dac/streamer. no matter what hardware i ran the roon core on i couldn't hear any sonic...

    New Weiss DAC 501 / 502

    My Weiss is now powered with 'Kondo ACz Avocado' Power cable. Wow, the weiss never sounded better! been using the stock 'grey power cable' that Shindo are using with their gear which sounded natural without any harshness to me, but now i understand it was limiting the Weiss full potential.

    Audio Note UK vs Audio Japan Sonic Differences

    i've never heard ANUK but i can confidently say Kondo Overture pm-2i sounding better then a Shindo Monbirson (last gen)+Shindo Montile cv391 combo paired with LV speakers. Shindo are known to have the best sounding preamps out there..

    Isolation for Kondo Overture pm-2i
