    Amp-matching a pair of Dali Ikon 6 Mk2

    The deals did not attach. But there is a Thorens td 166 in a local hifi shop for around 400 dollars that seems quite nice. Is that on a same level as a rega p3? With a TP28 arm And a Ortofon Super OM10 needle, completely new.

    Thanks all for the tips! The speaker is now integrated in the setup and wow! Night and day difference. Did not know my speakers were capable of sounding like this. So big thanks for recommending the K2, it is really an amazing combination! Regarding the turntable: I agree that it feels more...

    Amp-matching a pair of Dali Ikon 6 Mk2

    Thanks for the tip! I currently have a rega planar 1, but been wanting to upgrade it for a while and the cartridge is pretty worn. I want to buy something vintage/second hand, that is a noticable upgrade sound wise and quality wise. And of course that it should match the "level" of the Kandy...

    Amp-matching a pair of Dali Ikon 6 Mk2

    Thanks! Another question - I'm planning to play quite a lot of vinyl on this amp. As I've understood it has a built in Pre-amp, I have a Rega Fono Mini A2D Mk2 for my current amp. I will of course listen and compare but still curious what you think, is it better to use the external, quite...

    Amp-matching a pair of Dali Ikon 6 Mk2

    Hi! So thanks for all the info and suggestions. I've negotiated the Kandy K2 to 600 USD (i live in Sweden), and he offers me to drive it and deliver it at my home (which it self is worth quite a lot, and saves me time), so I think I'll go with it! I've only heard good things about this amp, and...

    Amp-matching a pair of Dali Ikon 6 Mk2

    Hi! First of all thanks! I agree with you, they deserve a good amplifier. There is a Kandy K2 Integrated for sale for 700 dollars, do you think that is a good deal and match? Don't know what they normally go for. There is also a Rotel RA-1520 for sale for 400 dollars, and a Rotel RA 12 (is it...

    Best second hand Turntable for under 700dollars?

    Hi! Want to upgrade my rega planar 1 to something a bit more "Hi-Fi" and upgradable. Any thoughts regarding best models for 5-700 dollars? Heard good things about Thorens TD 160/165, Sony PS 2250, Rega planar 3 and 6 but curious what you guys think! I'm quite handy and have no problem doing...

    Amp-matching a pair of Dali Ikon 6 Mk2

    Hi! Looking to uppgrade my audio setup and buying a better, more hi-fi, amplifier to my speakers - Dali ikon 6mk2. I've heard a lot good about the NAD 326bee but I'm a bit worried regarding too low power output? I've also seen the brands Arcam and Roksan Kandy being good matches with Dali. Any...
