Haitto AS 2000, 3012r,, Cessaro Gamma 2, Lamm electronics.

i personally attribute the difference more to Ikeda Dava. Listen to the pitch in tang’s and the end where it rises and listen to the composure on the below

Is there a hum in the background?

What amps are in this video? Still Elysium, or something else?

Alieno with Mayer 300b valves

Yes happened when we were swapping at the end. With Dava you have to manage the wires and power supply well placed to get rid of the hum

I think I preferred the one with Elysium then

This system was by far his best, in person. I think that’s reflected in the videos. Did you hear all the other videos on the other thread?

Are you referring to the jazz mono recordings posted with Elysium couple of years ago?

There is too much rumble but tone of violin is good.

It’s ok but not emotionally engaging like others.

Kujiken on AS 2000, Lamm Vitavox

This sounds just a little bit soft.

Kujiken on Garrard 301, Altec 817, Misho electronics (whole chain costs 18k)

This one is better than the ones above.

I liked this one but other Cessaro also sounds good IMHO.

I agree the Altec one sounds the best. The Kujiken harmonia mundi in general has better tonal balance and nice performance, Haitto is more intense and superlative but a bit thin on tone in comparison which you might hear on video, only the two Cessaro are playing the Haitto above.

Did you hear the whole clips?

Did you hear the whole clips?

Yes, I listened them all.

Can we have catalog numbers in the video notes so we know if we are listening to the same recordings?
