    Kondo Overture - Any Good

    And be prepaired that there is no Auto- Bias. If you are not able to do this by yourself or have a Dealer near you, you will get in Trouble if a tube will get problems. Was the Reason for me to sell it. Sound was good but not outstanding. I had the Silver Cables and all the power Cords from Kondo.

    For the owners of the humboldt audionet

    You can try a DC Blocker or a voltage reducer, but as I told you before, if things run bad nothing will help. by the way. I like your speakers. I know two persons owning them and they using it with complete Nagra set up. Unbelievable good to my ears.

    So it is likely that the transformer will become saturated during the day And not that there are voltage differences through the net, that causes the issues i fear.

    I fear it will not help you to ask other users. Humming and Noise Trouble are often an individual problem depending on your net and power infrastrucure at home. I owned about 10 or more high end equipments who did not do a single noise at a dealers place, but were badly humming at my home. it...

    The first Totaldac D1-Twelve Mk2 DAC in Hong Kong

    I use a Aurender N100H as Server/Streamer and a acousticplan Aruna 300B as amplifier. Living Voice Speakers. i prefer to be on the warmer emotional side. But the Aruna brings very much of this to the table, so the Dac could maybe be more on Resolution and Soundstage, if he do Not kill the...

    To switch or not to switch? Melco S-100 or Innuos Phoenix NET switch?

    Dear Shakti, i would be very curios what happened to your Overall SQ, if you spent all the money for the Switches into an Aurender. In my System the step from an Nucleus towards the Aurender NH100 was such an unexpected big Improvement in every single Discipline that i could never hoped for. Ok...

    Which 300b amplifier: Nagra 300p, Luxman MQ-300, Wavac EC-300B, Air Tight ATM-300R, Shindo Cortese 300b

    Maybe not so common this AcousticPlan Aruna Amplifier from Germany is strongly recommended For those who can live with only 6 Watts. It´s a hommage to the Western Electrica Style even if you put on some Replica Tubes. Tubes are 2*300B, 2*310A and one 274B or 5U4G.

    Best phono stage?

    Nagra is introducing a new phono pre in the Classic line. It will retail At about 20K US$ I guess. It can be upgraded by a classic PSU. This litte thing could be very interesting.

    Class A integrated

    I like my Gryphon Diabolo 120 a lot. Depending on the Speaker I guess it could play complete in Class A, if the Speaker is not demanding to much power.

    Best "bang for the buck" DAC

    Dear Marcus, can you tell something to the difference between the APL AR and the SR MK2? Is it worth the 8k price difference? I own the AR and are not sure to make the next step in the Range. 8k are a lot of money, where you can get big things on the used market. kind Regars lars

    Oh my, oh my - Aries Cerat Helene DAC

    Is someone here who had the chance to compare the Helene Dac versus the APL DSD Dac-Range maybe the SR MK2? I own the APL AR Dac which is stunning for it´s price in detail, Dynamic and soundstage. But it lacks a bit in timbre mostly with human voices to my feeling. Upgrading the Dac to the SR2...
