so I settled for the exposure 2010s and added the rega fono mini as a separate pre amp. I am still not convinced of this combo. I would love to try the roksan but too expensive new and it never shows up on Dutch auction sites. Whats your our thoughts on the unison unico primo? I think I can buy...

Hi, i had the same feeling when i used the brio r with dynaudio x12. After trying the Arcam A28 i am now totally happy with the exposure 2010s. I think the new 2010s2 is in the same pricerange as elex-r. Might be worth an audition. mike

Hi, the naim range is a bit out of my reach, even on the second hand market. I read about the exposure having a similar sound as naim and found a 2010s for a good price. Tomorrow the listening can start. What do you guys think I this combination? now I am facing a new problem, or potential so...

Hi, i currently run a set of neat motive 2se with Arcam A28. Although I prefer it over my rega brio r with dynaudio x12 combination I wonder if this is the right synergy. Rega brio r was too bright for my taste. Now the bass in the nests can sound a bit muddled, not punchy. I want to go second...

In: arcam a28 arcam irdac neat motive 2SE out: rega brio-r rega DAC dynaudio x12

Hi jlg, in my case, i believe the rega dac is responsible for great separation and detail, so that ones stays. I never heard any rega speakers but chaning the brio for the arcam definitely gave a much smoother presentation. I think it mainly gives the extra push to the midrange and bass it...

Thanks vlad that sounds better than dull! In fact, after two days of listening i would not describe it as dull at all. I don't think I miss any of the detail I had with the brio. It just added some power to the midrange and bass department. still very happy!!

Can't seem to change the text but "I could really listen for long without turning the volume down" should have been "could not!"

Hi, Two years ago I changed my denon surround receiver from "media market" to a Rega Brio R. They were hooked up to my wharfedale diamond 9.1 speakers and I was pretty happy with the sound, although I knew the amp deserved better. I demo'do lots of different speakers and bought the MA rx6. They...

Hi cno, bidding starts at 550,- eur for the nova. I would definitely like to audition the a19 but it's 900,- eur and never see them on eBay. Thanks for the advice Mike

Hi, i can get a secondhand peachtree Nova at a good price. I have been contemplating about changing the rega set for some time now. Even after replacing rx6 with dynaudio x12, I still feel there is brightness with lots of recordings. Even playing vinyl. Then there is the humming as well...

Never heard any valves but that sounds like something for a future upgrade path. These speaker cables you mention hifi outlaw, I can only find them for 500,- eur. Seems a bit too much. I think i just need to ab test both configurations. When they are equal, I think I will go for the rotel...

Btw, I don't want to spend a lot of money here. I believe I can sell the dac and brio for the price of a new rotel ra12 @hifi outlaw, I know you used to have the same set-up. It was the reason for me checking the x12 in the first place. I also read your thread on replacing the brio and the...

Hi guys, thanks for the replies. I now realize that using the rotel for streaming over the atv is compromising on sound quality. Still leaves the option of replacing brio+dac by the ra12 and keeping the atv for streaming. Gives me the extra wpc and the pre out. Then you say rega will beat the...

Hi, I am listening to my current set-up for a bit over a year now. I am reasonably happy with it but I would like to see if it could be better. I wonder if the brio's 50 wpc is enough to drive the dyns to the full potential. Then there's the humming and sometimes brightness. Also the Apple TV...
