H J s system !

[GMKF]

Not exactly the stuff you buy at wallmart , but its multstranded copper. Silverplated teflon
Coated. My whole cables set. Is about. 150. Euro

Just like me. I may go Vovox cables in the future.

 

[kevinkwann]

Yeah i found out already , but with the volume s etting and construction quality of the speakers its tolerable .
And a 1900 s style house has also its own nce charateristics

Cool, thanks.

 

[andromedaaudio]

Actually im quite happy the speakers are still on the wooden floor and. Didnt sank Through .at around 260 kg. A piece.
The cabinet is as dead as a dodo and your. Hear that especially in the bass and in decay of notes

After listening.
or now i geel the limiting factors is definetively a source matter , plus a ribbon twmight be a bit more transparant, but its a taste thing afaic

What about an Mundorf AMT ? Or RAAL Ribbon ?

 

[andromedaaudio]

After listening to some cd's and tape, i think my speakers design is also a truthmachine and would fit wel in studio as a monitoring device.
Some cd's sound good but the majority sounds flawed in a sense.
Further a ribbon tw might argualeby sound a bit more transparant but its a matter of tweeter taste also

 

[andromedaaudio]

Ribbon tweeters , ribbons. In general sound silky smooth
Im talking ribbons in general due to their design , backside is that they dont sound very forcefull imo

 

[andromedaaudio]

I ve pulled the speakers in a bit they are about 1.80 from the backwall and about 3,5 meters apart .
Huge Soundstage development as a result, plus the sound s is uncanning ly free from the speakers , to An extant MDF or Wood cant reach , Imo
Organmusic , choir and speech sound pretty good on CD .
Many so called special audiophile recordings of Classical music arent very special at all , with cd's you Just got to get lucky . Just like any other medium , lol

Welcome to the capital of surrealism. You have been warned

 

[andromedaaudio]

Haha. , Yes IT needs a bit of getting used to as a dutchie , but i do my best im staying close to Parc josaphat which is a Nice area .
For my work im 50 % abroad. Anyway

 

[andromedaaudio]

Listening to the 10 watt class A amp , driven by the cat and IT sounds great .

[andromedaaudio]

To be honest i d rather live without the cat poweramp then with the pre , a good pre on a cheaper transistor power still sounds great .
May be i should buy a dartzeel 108 lol

 

[andromedaaudio]

OR a gryphon ? OR levinson

 

[andromedaaudio]

I ve got spectaculair imaging now in the new room , and especially with the transistor amp , im tempted to say the transistor class a sound s better , although IT takes a couple of hours to get the transistor glow and ITs less powerfull

+1

The CAT preamp is in many ways the engine for your system, the amp...the transmission. Cables and Speakers---the wheels, tires and body. Not my analogy, but IMO true.

 

[andromedaaudio]

Very true , a good pre steers IT to magic , a bad one in the swamp leaving one clueless for direction

Soulution ? http://www.audio-markt.de/_markt/item.php?id=4528198511

 

[andromedaaudio]

NO , not my cup of tea to dry clinical sounding, never heard a magico sound worse then with solution.
IT might also be a cheaper class a amp brand , i guess that Will do also , i dont like to spend more then nescessary

There is the possibility that Magico/Soulution is a miss-match. I really liked the high end 2017 combo of Rockport/Soulution...
Good mid-bass and effortless..

 

[andromedaaudio]

Sure that could well be the case , never heard rockports yet.
And yes power corrupts ,. Never been to the munich show , i should go demonstrate with my own speakers , show Them how real bass sounds like , but i likely dont fit very well in the cable switch crowd its not my thing

I heard that it's is rather expensive to get a "good" room there. Not a box on the show room floor...
You may find a nother company to "split" costs... Amp company for example
