I had the chance to do both, the solista drives 4x 845 tubes compared to Egoista 2x 845. That changes things a lot, everything is levelled up tremendously, serious dynamics, without going into so much depth and details pretty much the overall sound noticeably upgraded when you listen side to side.

…

If you’re ever in NY let me know.

Where do you live?

Thank you, actually it’s the Solista running Susvara right from the back of the speaker taps the results have left me speechless 😶.

finally made the plunge 😁

Does anyone know why this member astrostar59 has been banned? Just curious.

My pleasure.

Actually yes I did exactly that. I brought my own Susvara pair. The AIC10 sounded very tight and clean lots of power to drive the Susvara plenty of it, beautiful looking amp, you have the option to plug your system in front or back where the speakers get hooked up, I spent plenty of time with...

Viva Egoista 845 internal photo:

Oh yeah I remember the sound very well, high quality sound, thick, revealing, holographic, great soundstage, excellent low end, amazing mids, and perfect treble. But it is bulky, I guess it has to be in order to fit those huge transformers and everything's point to point wiring in it to get that...

I heard the envy 25th anniversary edition along with the Viva Egoista 845 and I have to admit the 845 is on a whole other level. But I have not heard the primavera.

I also heard the Viva Egoista 845 with my susvara, I agree it sounded warm but it had one of the best quality low end bass extension I have ever heard, and to my ears all the other sound characteristics sounded close to perfect as possible. It was using 1 x 6N1P, 1x 6SN7GTB, 2 x 845, 2 x...

I’m curious how this would compare with the Viva Egoista 845.

Thank you for taking the time to reply I appreciate it. So I went to Canjam NYC last weekend, I checked out all three of them. I found the environment very noisy, could not get a good assessment on which of these sounded best. I love the look of the 465 best, next aic10, the least viva. The...

So I have a chance to get the mass kobo 465, the riviera aic10, or the Viva Egoista 845. Any suggestions? Help me please

Overall good? I hope it’s not just high on treble and over analytical, and doesn’t fatigue. I’m assuming you auditioned it? If you did can you describe its overall body sound? I’m thinking of making the plunge.

The SP3000 copper limited edition, Excellent condition, includes all accessories plus dignis case, original packaging, as well as screen protectors front and back.

I got a crazy question, these days cars are no longer equipped with auxiliary inputs for audio instead we have usb c to plug in our phones. my question, is it possible to use an adapter 3.5mm or 2.5mm or 4.4mm to usb c, the aux cable being plugged in the SP3000 and the usb c plugged into the car...

Can I see some photos of the rear and just to confirm this is the Performance version unit?

I only own the A18T custom. I have had them for many years now, they sound amazing will not part from them for nothing. It’s a reference sound, you pretty much hear everything as it was recorded, mixed, and mastered. There’s no color sound. You get to hear everything in quality from the bass...
