Hey Hooper, I don't doubt that the EMM Labs stuff is great, but I also suspect that the Reimyo you listened to was not broken in or had some odd PC interface. Me, I had the 15 second audition and stone cold new out of the box, I sent my Accuphase DP-75V packing and reached for the checkbook.
Difficult Choice
HI,
choosing a HI-FI from scrathc is a difficult exercise.
I'm asking for help.
I might get Lamm2.1 amps or Tenor 75i
i tried the hybrid amp from tenor and was very disappointed
I found it not as full and "real" than the 75i (kind of normal) but it was on the top "messy", lacking precision.
I was using a EMM Labs transport + Dac directly plugged in the amp + Kharma Grand Midi Ceramique
Very disappointing
I have to say that those EMM Labs did not impress me that much and I wonder if it is not better to use a preamp with them.
Kharma exquisite Midi seem to be a good choice even if it lacks some guts with the Tenor
A sub could be a solution but i did not try
I'm wondering if those VR9 Von S. are that much better than the Kharma
I'm interested to know as well what people think of
Sonus Faber Stradivari (do they work with SET)
Dynaudio Temptation (do they work with SET)
Pipedeams model 18
Audio Physics Caldera ?
More over, what preamp to use ?
There is a Audio Note on the offer but does it go well with
Lamm ?
What about the new ARC reference3 ?
Concerning the source, is the DCS suite that good ? I was not that impressed by the EMM Labs.
Thank you
