| Looking for former Hales System 2 owners feedback Brf and Jaybo, what did you replace your Hales with?I do agree that today the speakers would cost a lot more, although I feel that the MB Quart tweet was even in its day, somewhat of a let-down. I personally never looked back once I replaced my Ha... | |
| Looking for former Hales System 2 owners feedback What a great thread Gdodson...:0)I owned the Hales system 2 sigs for about 13 years. They were a great speaker for their time. I now own SF Guarneri Hommage; which in my small room is a far more resolving and accurate speaker. The G's are way supe... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri with SET amplifier -possible? Milimetr, I am currently using SF GH's; to drive them I am using a Jeff Rowland model 8 with choke and a CAT sig pre-amp. This combo works well because the G's are fairly inefficent and with tube pre-amp and a large ss amp they come alive. The G's... | |
| Anyone heard the new Radikal for the Linn LP 12? Thanks Stanwal, I checked out the threads. However, I sure would like to hear a first hand opinion of the Radikal upgrade.I have a feeling that the Lingo will finally begin to plummet in price now. Any idea of the cost of the Radikal? | |
| Review: Sonus Faber Guarnieri Homage Speaker Signhere, I have posted my opinions on the GH's vs. GM's in other threads. However, to sum up, having heard both, IMHO the GH's are frankly in a different league to the GM's! The GM's lack the GH's air and realism on top, they are uninvolving and ... | |
| anyone use ikea for lp racks? I use the Ikea 'lack' cases. They stand appx. 6'tall and are easily able to hold LP's without any flexing of the shelves.You do have to attach the racks to the walls to prevent tipping, but this is easy and they supply very good supports for that.... | |
| To Bi-wire or not? Tbromgard, as you using two seperate cables per speaker?If so, are you sure that the connections are in correct polarity at the amp and the same at the speakers?Also, I find it very helpful to make sure that the routing of the cables is as direct ... | |
| Review: Sonus Faber Guarnieri Homage Speaker Elviukai, sorry buy you are WRONG.. The GH's use, and are pretty well known for using, the Esotars. The speakers do utilize a custom made rear wood chamber for the tweeter.Frankly, IMHO they are one of the best examples of any speaker utilizing th... | |
| Your Favorite, Most Outstanding Guitar Solo I really like SRV's solo on China Girl with David Bowie.Also, Jimi's playing of just about anything, but in particular 'the star spangled banner' and 'Hey Joe' or 'All along the watchtower' | |
| Review: Sonus Faber Guarnieri Homage Speaker Fernando, today I fired up the system and listened to the MFSL Lp of 'Alison Krauss and Union Station Live'. I simply cannot recommend this remarkable LP highly enough.The GH's are seemingly built for this album and together I experienced the best... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento Milimetr, I have a small room,albeit a dedicated room.The room is appx. 12ftX10ft with a vaulted ceiling that rises to appx.13ft. The room is constructed of wood/drywall and I use a couple of large LP racks as absorbtion in the corners behind the ... | |
| CAT SL-1 Signature Mk II 90493m, I rolled in tubes into my CAT Sig and this was a very nice improvement. In the phono stage I now use NOS GE smooth plates.Another improvement was when I replaced the stock loading plugs with WBT plugs with Vishays. You may want to try thes... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento Stevehuff1, Are you saying that the GM's are an easier load on the amp than the GH's?What ancillary equipment are you using and is this the sameequipment and room your were using for the GH's?What does 'maybe not as syrupy' mean in regards to the ... | |
| Which MoFi and MoFi UHQR LPs? I had the 200 gm version of Getz Gilberto on the table the other day. It is pretty amazing IMHO. I also really like the 200gm Muddy Waters Folk Singer as well, trouble is I play it too often. | |
| SF Guarneri with ARC Reference 110-CD7-3 ? Manpr6, back to the question, I also would like very much to know what people's opinion is of this match. I like the ARC Ref 110 very much but have not heard it with G's and also wander how that match up would sound. |
