Re: Auditioning inakustik Referenz LS 4004 AIR speaker cable
I auditioned first the LS-2040 and then the LS-4004, and ultimately went with the higher model, as I felt they were significantly better.

Re: Cardas Clear vx Clear Beyond XLR
Yes, indeed I have. The Clear Beyond are a different pair of shoes.
Gone is is the smoothing effect on the treble. The Clear Beyond are truly neutral. Also bass extension is significantly better.... -

Kharma - what’s in a signature edition
Hi AJR, the Kharmas are really a treat.
I’ve had them for about 5 months in my system, and I guess they’re about burned-in now. I still hear small improvements happening in the top-end, details,... -

Re: Inducing clarity: Cardas Clear Beyond interconnects
Unfortunately I only compared the ICs, as I have different speaker cables (InAkustik Reference AIR LS-4004).

Re: Inducing clarity: Cardas Clear Beyond interconnects
I do agree, in the level of micro-detail retrieval and bass depth the Clear Beyond really stands out.

Background of the color choice was based on good experiences with the Bronze color S3 mk2’s I used to have. I never grew tired of that color, and also wifey told me they were my best looking speakers...

You turn on the music, and get instant Kharma.

Re: Kharma - what’s in a signature edition
Probably a smart move. I found the move from S3 mk1 to S3 mk2 to be a significant improvement, but moving to the Kharma double niners would be an even bigger gain.
I hope you get a chance to hear... -

IMHO, if you’re into the Sabrina X price range, don’t go get them - run. For the money, they’re an outstanding speaker.

Well Mike, the MBLs definitely are destination speakers. So congrats for your decision.
And I also agree with what you say about Kharmas. They in a way blend transparency and full-bodiedness.

Nice to find another Edison mk2 owner, indeed a very nice phono pre.
I also agree with your statement, there are better but you need to cough up the big bucks to get something beyond.

Re: Kharma - what’s in a signature edition
Hi Khin, the bass in particular is more fun, more lively, more solid. You’re getting very easily pulled into the music. As a result, music is more engaging.

Re: Kharma - what’s in a signature edition
I'm very pleased with the choice. It's a more complete speaker vs. the Magico S3 or S3 mk2, which I both used to own.
Bass is in a totally different league, the sound is fuller and has more bass...
Results 1 to 25 of 500
I upgraded the power supply on my Gigafoil v4 to a Weiss PSU 102. It’s very nice step up. But with the new model, you’re looking at $2000 before even investing in a SOTA linear power supply.
