    Which Giya for my room ?

    A friend of mine with a very similar sized listening room (only the ceiling is different with 3 meters regular) has Just received this week his new speakers: Giya G1 Spirit. First listening impressions are not less than enthusiastic so also the Spirit can fits your room... Just my two cents...

    Mid range phono stage... what shortlist? (£2k second hand)

    About soundstage I can tell you PH-10 that is not among the best contenders. Presentation of instruments Is proportionally well sized; wide but not so deep. I listen every week with It in my system but It lacks in the sense of ambience and space that the best phono can reveal. Overall the...

    Mid range phono stage... what shortlist? (£2k second hand)

    Just my opinion... My choice will go to Goldnote 1000 for overall flexibility of use. Selection of impedance and gain through front display is simply another world in comparison of Whest line which has an annoying selection with dip switches in lower chassis. I had Whest 30rdt and 30SE in the...

    New Evolution Acoustics "SYSTEM" Speakers paired with Dartzeel

    This is very surprising! EA MM's series has a superb extension in first octave; I was wondering if "system" speaker with its small woofers may suffer less SPL max and more distortion in 20-70 Hz region, neverthless the aluminium Cell woofers are also used by Marten speakers in expensive models...

    Mike... I'm disoriented.... I had great expectations but...where are the woofers? Our glorious 15"'s in MM2/MM3/MM7 ...gone? Here we have another tower speaker ... enclosure box looks good, maybe more rigid than previous EA production, but also much more conventional in style, MM series is...

    Curious about Coda Technologies

    I had S20 and now I have n.8; the latter is better in every aspect, not by a great margin but is clearly audible. Better bass, more punchy and more defined. N.8 is faster than S20; speech and singers are easily to understand. I don't know about S5.5. if It works in classA mode the actual...

    Berlioz rules again... also here in Torino (Turin) today in Teatro Regio performed by the residents orchestra. Extended musician number, almost 90... Probably I was biased ... The conductor was a young Ukrainian lady: Oksana Lyniv, that dominated the orchestra with a mix of elegance and energy...
