| Jeff Rowland 8T with Wilson Sasha w/p? Ebm, I agree that the model 8 is a wonderful amp. Have you tried your Mini 2's with a tube amp? I think that a tube amp can give you a different 'presentation' if you will, that is very pleasing with speakers like the Minis. I love my 8 with my So... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento Milimeter and Elviukai, it's true that SF did some minor changes to the GH's as time went by; I think mostly in the cabinet construction however.My pair are Anno2004, and were according to my dealer the last pair imported into the US, the Tweet do... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento To follow up my post, look here:http://www.hifisound.de/oxid/oxid.php/tpl//lang/1/cl/alist/cnid/eb642232681286cf0.79190334I think one can clearly see from the face of the driver that the tweet is the D330 Esotar and NOT the D28. | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento Milimetr, that's an interesting picture. For some reason my speakers don't have this sticker on the drivers; Today I took a flex mirror and looked at the tweet. Mine has nothing on it at all. Perhaps your picture is of a replacement driver that so... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento Elviukai, I thought my answer to you on the SF GH review thread that I wrote was clear! In addition this is what MF said in the SFGM review that was done in August of '09 in Stereophile...quote:"More important, the original Guarneri Homage, fitted... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento Semi, you miss the point about the GH's vs the GM's. The GH's certainly do use the Esotar driver, no they don't use various hard domes or ribbons which you imply are better designs; BUT then neither does the GM! The GM uses a ring radiator sourced... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento Once again Semi, what is IYHO a 'fact' is far from it.Is the Esotar still SOTA, not to your ears, ok I can accept that, however,to say it masks micro dynamics and detail tells me that there is something else in your system that is the culprit in t... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento Semi, I can only speak for myself, BUT I personally have no problem with any type of tweeter as long as it sounds good. I have owned Titanium domes, Be tweets, ribbons,stats and alum domes-- I enjoyed them all.However, I do NOT think that I prefer... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento Pinkus on another thread you wrote and I quote"Of course it is also possible that I am highly suggestible, and I am the one with the tin-ear."I think that may speak for itself..:0)BUT in all seriousness, I do agree that 'each to their own' is appl... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento Flg2001, i think a little salt in this thread is a good idea..It doesn't really surprise me that there are many GH owners in Italy,or anywhere else for that matter, that are "reluctant" to give up theirGH's for GM's. A backward step is never anyth... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento Hi George, I heard a Jadis Defy 7 mk1V a couple of years ago withSF GH"s. It was a very nice match indeed; almost made me sell myJeff Rowland model 8. The only thing that kept me from doing that wasthat the Jadis seemed to lose a little detail whe... | |
| Review: Nordost Red Dawn Interconnect While I have no experience with the Red Dawn IC's, I recently placed the speakercables into my system and I think they are a great cable. One night myself and several other 'philes 'AB'ed the RD v11's vs Blue Heaven and everyone thought that the B... | |
| Recommend me a DAC for 300 Try an EAD 7000Mk3 if you can find one, a little more than $300- used, BUT IMHO very hard to beat under $1500-! | |
| Amp for Sonus Faber Cremona - old model Fundsgon, you might want to see if you can locate an ARC D-70. You can see in my review of this amp in the amp review section how impressed I am with this ARC and my SF's. YMMV. | |
| Review: Audio Research D-70 mkII Tube amp Hi Fernando,I too was a little surprised that this amp can sound as good as it does. However,I had known from other 'phile friends that this amp was one of the true 'sweet spots' in the ARC line in the last 25+ years. I think it also says a lot th... |
