Hello, all. This is my first post. I found this site several weeks ago and was excited to see the caliber of enthusiasts here. Some interesting conversation. I then got diverted and haven't been able to get back here....so I'm now going to join into learn and, hopefully, share some good info!

I'm a big fan of Viola among other products. I have a pair of Viola Symphonies each powering B&W 800s. Got those installed about 2 years ago. I was so impressed with those I added theiur new Crescendo 2 channel Preamp/DAC to my setup. WOW. I still use my Lexicon MC12HD for blu-ray but man.....what a hug difference the Crescendo made to my listening experience. Of course, I expected an improvement but trul;y didn't expect the elevated performance.

I love the arts...performing & visual. My main passion is music, movies and my family. Not necessarily in that order!

Anyway.....just wanted to say hello....I'll be hanging around & look forward to getting involved.

Welcome to AS JR!
 
Welcome,
I also have Viola Symphony and love it after auditioning 12 amps with my TAD speakers. The dac pre will probably have a DSD upgrade module soon. Check with Sanjay. Surprise you have 2 symphony amps-large room?

Hi Nick and, thanks to all, for the warm welcome!

Yes, my room is fairly large & the 800s like power. Really is an awesome match. I goota tell you, I was at the High End Audio show in NY this past Spring and I was really enthralled with the TADs. They really got my attention. It took all the strength I had NOT to enquire about them!

Still a Viola and B&W fan? I ask you this because I suspect most Viola users can be found in Asia. When using clean current delivered by Ansuz power cords and distributors even the Viola Fortes I have appear to be more than capable. Even early digital records spring to life.
