Re: Sonus Faber Elipsa SE Cover

Re: Do you use an integrated in your main system?
Joe, I sometimes switch in my Viva Solistino to run my Sf Stradivaris (in place of LAMM ML2.2s or Unison Research Reference). The Solistino snaps at their heels and in my 7m x 5m x 4m room has no...

Mike, for your interest a matched pair of the Sino 845s arrived from Tube Depot today and they are (pleasingly) a match for those pictured in your post #26 above. Interestingly, other than the finish...

Hi Mike,
I recently purchased a Solistino for use in a second system with DeVore Orangutan 0/96s.............so far a terrific match. Just under 100 hours on the amp. Had not come across the... -

Without reservation, I agree with Kt77's reply - it does run warm but is a superb unit, massively ignored/underrated primarily because of what it is - "just an integrated". Make no mistake, with well...

Re: What is driving your Sonus Fabers?
Stradivaris driven by Lamm ML2.2s monos/L2 Reference/ LL2 Deluxe preamps and sometimes by Unison Research Reference monos (845)/ Reference preamp (300B).
Results 1 to 20 of 20
Yes, the Digital Director was used in that setup with MSB monoblocks, and Magico M2's.
