| Upgrade from Verity Parsifal to Parsifal Encore?? Interesting to hear your experience that Parsifal sounds better with a low powered SS amp than a high powered AR tube amp. It must be the impedance then. Will remove Parsifal from my shortlist then.May I ask what was the power of your audio resear... | |
| Luxman DA-06 Dac...anyone? wow! that makes me want to keep my Triode DAC and get it converted to 230V.Here I was wanting to sell it for a 230V compatible DAC. | |
| Upgrade from Verity Parsifal to Parsifal Encore?? Thanks for bringing that up. I always had in my head that Parsifal was 8ohm. Checked the spec of Ovation, its 8ohm nominal and minimum 4ohm. 89db.Given that my Vienna Acoustic speakers are 89db, 4ohm and the dragons drive them pretty easily, am gu... | |
| Advice on monitor/bookshelves under $2,000 I have really enjoyed Vienna Acoustics Haydn Grand monitors that I have owned for 6 yrs now. You find it used for $600 now ($2000 new).I have liked Sonus Faber Cremona M, but have not owned them, but they do well with the music you like also. Shou... | |
| What is the best DAC under $3000 I really like the Triode TRV1-SE DAC, $2500.Preferred it to the NAD M51 and Benchmark-1, which were a great DACs too. | |
| Upgrade from Verity Parsifal to Parsifal Encore?? Hi fjn04,I own Coincident Dragon Monoblock 211PP tube amps. These are 75W amp, and think will be able to drive the P/E. They have only 8 or 16 ohm tap.I love these amps, they have awesome bass too, that my current bookshelf cannot really exploit. ... | |

Hi Don,For my next speaker, I am trying to decide between the exact same 2 speakers you have had.I am trying to decide between a new Orangutan O/93 and Verity Parsifal Encore (used) which are approximately the same price range.Can you tell me what... | |
| Preamp with tone controls? DISCLAIMER: Am a seller.The Triode TRX-1 that I am selling right now on audiogon has tone control.Best part is that this tone control can be bypassed too.Its a fantastic amp (TAS recommended, if that carries any weight) that I am only selling sinc... | |
| Phono Preamp - 2k budget? Interesting no one mentioned EAR 834P.Is the EAR now old news compared to ones you guys mentioned.I am in the same boat vinyl wise as the OP, and am currently auditioning the EAR, my first phono preamp. | |
| Dream System: Magico + Coincident + Wavelength ? I had a question posted earlier about getting a Coincident Phono to start building a top flight vinyl frontend.But frankly I do not have the time/experience/budget for it right now.I also listen to a lot of music that are hard to get on Vinyl.I ha... | |
| Dream System: Magico + Coincident + Wavelength ? Charles1dad,Yes I was not blown away by the Devores either. Therefore the search still continues. I have only heard Verity Parsifal Ovation monitors not the fullrange with the woofers. But I heard the Verity Fidelio fullrange. So I can approximate... | |
| Dream System: Magico + Coincident + Wavelength ? Congrats ebm ! while visiting various forums I know you were on the lookout for Q3. Yes they are wonderful. | |
| Dream System: Magico + Coincident + Wavelength ? Hi Charles1dad,Based on someone's (Kiddman or Mapman) suggestion on the Devore Orangutan thread, I went RMAF 2013 and heard most of the speakers mentioned in that thread (Coincident, Devore, Tanner Friedl, VA The Kiss). It was a great experience.M... |
