Harris,

Aren't you using Ktema speakers? Am surprised to hear them being described as bright. I auditioned Ktema Accordo's and they were definitely not bright with BSC Class A solid state amps.

Mikey, yes i am using Ktema. I believe the brightness roots from the Nordost Frey Phono IC and not so much from the Ktemas. With that said, FS has the typical SF sound. I made the plunge yesterday and ordered Reference SC and three Ultra IC. One IC will be used as XLR phono cable. I had to buy new for IC in order to use the trade up program. I could not justify the cost to purchase three reference IC and i purchased the reference SC at certified pre-own price. Guess i will wait and see.

Mikey, i cannot imagine you passed up on purchasing the FS Ktemas?

Harris,

The Ktema Accordo's that were for sale were not in such a good condition. I ended up with the Vienna Acoustics Kiss instead.
