    Sonus Faber Extrema

    The Mephisto is darker sounding and doesn’t do much wrong but its weight is back breaking and the heat it produces is something else. The Trinity amps are supremely clean and transparent and match the Extremas perfectly.

    Sonus Faber Extrema

    Yes, the above system is mine. I had practically changed all the components except the Extremas which I had owned for 27 years! I love the Extremas

    Sonus Faber Extrema

    The Mephisto was eventually replaced by the Trinity mono amps which are an even better match. I’m sure Franco Serblin never had the opportunity to listen to the full potential of the Extremas.

    Yes, it’s the stereo Mephisto which is a great match for the Extremas.

    What are you waiting for, Jazzhead? The best amps I've heard by a country mile!

    LL21, how do you connect your Gat to your Colosseum? Do you use an rca/xlr adapter or do you make a special rca to xlr cable? Thanks in advance.

    CH Precision C1+X1 VS Audionec SDV4-S VS Burmester 111

    At the time I listened to the Burmy, it still had quite a few bugs to be sorted out. It sounded very good though. Overall, I found the CH combo more satisfying. It has excellent built quality and it has great flexibility on the upgrade path if you go the CH way. The mono C1 (if your pocket is...

    CH Precision C1+X1 VS Audionec SDV4-S VS Burmester 111

    I haven't heard the audionec. I'd had the opportunity to listen to both the Burmy and the C1+X1. The addition of the X1 improves the C1 considerably. I finally ended up with the C1+X1. This combination will be hard to beat, I believe.

    Totally agree with you, Keith. Just wanted some opinions and thoughts from our experienced members here.

    Magico Q7

    Great input, LL, and thanks. In RH's case, he heard the Arrakis2 before the Q7s and he pronounced the Q7s as the most impressive single piece of audio equipment in any category he has ever heard (in 23 years?). Is that correct?

    Magico Q7

    I read with great interest about the reviews by both Robert Harley and Jeff Fritz on the Magico Q7 and the Rockport Arrakis. Judging by the dates of their reviews, it seems like both of them prefer the Q7. Also, the Arrakis they reviewed might not be the latest version. I wonder what their views...

    Is there a unit with your dealer? If so, please take a listen and your impression would be appreciated. I heard the K15 could be the ultimate preamp.

    Thanks, CK. I'm aware of the Audio Exotics forum but that is a commercial forum. Independent impressions from listeners that have no commercial interests would be much better.
