I would continute saving until the day I could afford this beauty *drinks*

True Vlad, open one up and there is barley anyhting in there. Not even a transformer like the Rogue Sphinx or Peachtree Nova has. Not sure how that works? But I can't knock it because it's made really well and feels like quality on the outside. Plus it sounded good for a Class D unit when I...

@Robin, You've got to be joking?

I owned the Focal 806v and have heard many times in a store the B&W 685 S2's. The B&W's are great speakers but I think the Focals are a bit better overall. Where I live the Focals retail for $1000 and the B&W's retail for $650. So here they not really even in the same class. If you like detail...

I have owned the Focal 806v speakers in the past. I was using an Arcam A70 with them. As good as the B&W's 685's are the Focal 806v's are better speakers. They have a tight fast bass and a very detailed and brilliant treble that you are looking for.

In regards to the first picture, I think I know where that is Vlad. It's a Hi-Fi shop in Toronto. They carry some nice stuff! A lot of good used gear also passes through their doors. Hey Vald, not to change the subject, but those speakers reminded me of this. Watch the video sometime. I found...

I owned the Aragon D2A D/A convertor that came with the separarte heavy triangle shaped power supply. That was about 20 years ago now. Wow, that thing sounded good! Blew away almost anything at the time. I really believe that the power supply is very important and is what helped it sound so...

Wow, that imagine I posted above of the aragon became really distorted. It doesn't look that.

This power amp is quite a classic. In America anyways.

Very Cool Vald! Nice one. Kind of looks like a big bottle cap opener.

Count me out then. There is still Dali!

Keep in mind the Peachtree Nova does not have a phono stage like your Brio-R has. You will have to buy a separate phono pre-amp. Not sure if the Nova will give you that smooth sound you are looking for. It does have 1 tube that tailors the sound somewhat, but the amp section is class D. I never...

I guess a should rephrase my comment. What are the sound differences between the two? Good points one might have over the other.

Has anyone listened to these or have compared the two? They are both have very similar specifications, but which one sounds better? Dynaudio Focus 160 / Dali Rubicon 2 $3200us / $3000us Denmark / Denmark H350x W202x D294 / H353xW195xD335 7,6 kg / 8,0 kg 85 dB, 4 ohms / 87 dB 4 ohms Rear...

Hi, Greetings from the USA. I doubt that anyone on here has heard all of those cables you mentioned or even the Hegel and Dynaudio combination. This makes it difficult. Speaker and power cables are also tricky. They all have their own subtle sonic characteristics and they all interact...
