| sonus faber GH with Sub vs Amat Homage 2-26-10: DaveyfSmaj, Thanks for the compliment..:0)BTW, Elviukai, I do not think that my GH's are at all lacking in instrument palp or localization in the mids... even in comparison to the Amati's. When I have heard the Amati's in the past, my imp... | |

| sonus faber GH with Sub vs Amat Homage Smaj, I too basically agree with Elviukai and 4musica. I doubt that the Amati's would work well in that size room. The GH's are far easier to integrate into your room and will respond well to a sub. You may want to look into bass trapping and poss... | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri Hi Keiserrg, I do agree that Jadis makes some great pieces. I was able to hear the Orchestra with the GH's and liked the pairing very much.Not quite enough drive for the speakers, but still a very good sound and very smooth. A few years ago, I was... | |
| Has anyone heard the Magico Mini? Looks like the Magico Mini has been discontinued...No longer on Magico's web page. | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri D.I.L.E. I own a CAT SL1 Sig. This is the first preamp that Ken Stevens starting using the current heavy duty chassis with. I have rolled in tubes into my unit which I think has helped enormously. IMHO, this preamp is still VERY competitive with t... | |
| $3500 to spend on a tube preamp....ideas? IMHO, a used CAT preamp will most likely open your eyes as to what a great tube preamp can do. A little hard to find, but if you can get an SL1 Sig with phono or one of the later models, VERY hard to beat, again IMHO. | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri Lloydelee21, I think what you say about CAT may apply to the amps, which are a little 'hands on'. However, I have not had any issues with my preamp over the many years that I have owned it, except to change tubes. I also think your suggestion of a... | |
| Cat Stevens Tea for the Tillerman LP's I now own an original UK Island pressing along with a US A&M and a MFSL. The Island is terribly noisy, I guess I bought a pristine looking LP that must have had a LOT of wear by the previous owner... a pity as the potential is there. The MFSL ... | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri D.i,l,e, with that kind of a budget for a used preamp, I think you should have a very good selection. I personally really like the CAT preamps, IMHO, they are superior to the BAT preamps and most any other tube preamp you can name ( including most... | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri D.i.l.e--- I have heard most of the BAT preamps, including the 32SE. I think that the 32SE would be a much better match to the GH's than the C2200. YMMV.Audition with your amp first if possible. | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri Hi D.I.L.E....glad that you are now considering keeping the GH's with a sub.I do agree with Jman as well, when he says the GH's like tubes.( which is why I use a CAT preamp and swap in the ARC amp). If you can get your hands on a tube pre-amp or a... | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri Deaf, You should look to the preamp... as I said before, as the culprit regarding your "smallness" of the soundstage! Luckily, I am familiar with the Mac C-40 and therein lies your problem. Pity you were changing amps, but didn't think to change p... | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri Deaf, reading the Stereophile review of the idecco, it appears that you need to use the fixed output option for the idecco. The follow up specs by JA were also interesting. To my mind, reading between the lines, JA seemed to think that the DAC was... | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri Deaf, something just occurred to me, are you using a pair of Guarneri Hommage or are you using a pair of Guarneri Memento's? The Memento's are still part of the current line up...the Hommage's are not. It seems a little odd that the dealer you are... |
