Thank you for your impressions. I did end up buying the g2.1 Aries and Vega. I too will be using it wirelessly. I'm glad you've had success with that. I've been busy moving houses and haven't gotten the Auralics out of there boxes. When i do, I'll post comparisons.

I look forward to your impressions! I think I'll be unpacking my goodies this weekend. So I should be able to get some impressions of my own in a few days. I'm going to A/B against my Chord Hugo 2 and 2Go on my two-channel system. I wish I could A/B it with my Wadia CD player. But unfortunately...

I very recently got the Vega g2.1 and the Aries g2.1. Unfortunately, they arrived while I was moving houses, and so I've not even had a chance to set them up yet. When I do, I'll post my impressions. Sorry I can't be more helpful!

I'm about to pull the trigger on this? Do any of you have experience with these products, either as a package or separately? They'll replace my ancient Wadia 860 and the Auralics have modern features i need.. It'll feed my 2-channel system and, possibly, my headphones. My sig contains my setup...

I may be wrong about this (i wish i could afford a T2!). The T2s that good builders are building these days overcome the problems you've note.

Interesting about the efficiency comparison between the CRBN and the 009. Since some here have asked, i would definitely NOT recommend using a stax amp like the srm-d50 or srm-d10. I have both of these (rarely used) and a KGSSHV Carbon to drive my 009S. The stax amps cannot control the bass on...

Hi! I have a Carbon, but NOT the CC version. I love the Carbon. When i was looking to buy a couple years back, it was suggested that the CC was NOT necessarily an upgrade over the plain CC. So you might want to look into that. If i recollect correctly, the CC adds some "sparkle," which you may...

This is my experience as well (though I do not have the A-16). EDIT: My experience is that EQing the 009S requires a really good amp/energizer. I have both a Stax SRM-d50 and a KGSSHV Carbon. Though the Stax amp is capable, it is not capable enough to EQ bass on the 9S. The Carbon is way more...

I've got a confession to make. Whenever I get a new Mozart CD I go straight to the minor-key pieces to listen to first! Here are a couple of lovely performances. 1. Violin and Piano Sonata in e minor (K 304) performed by Joseph Szigeti 2. Piano Concerto in d minor (K 466) performed by Richard Goode

Thank you @Light - Man ! Like for most of us, it's not been an easy year! Good to be back!

I like Audio Technica! But I've never tried yours. In my opinion, classical music is not particularly demanding on hardware. The things I tend to focus on are: reproduction of voices, speed and "airiness," which to me means a sense of the instruments (or even the strings of an instrument)...

Yippee! Today I found Suzuki's complete secular cantatas on Qobuz for $30, which is half the price at Presto and 7digital. In case you are wondering, it's lossless (CD-quality). Suzuki is my favorite modern interpreter of Bach's vocal works. He reminds me of Karl Richter's spirituality, joy and...

Summer time, and the livin' is easy :)

I was in the same bought a little over a year ago! Hugo2go was giving me headaches: it would not recognize my SD cards, etc. So I stopped listening until last week. What changed? I got Roon and use it as my transport for the hugo2go. Roon isn't perfect. But it makes life with the hugo2go so much...

After a long absence from headfi, I'm back again! Listening to this wonderful recording for Christopher Herrick playing Bach. Curiously, most of Herrick's Bach music is not available on Tidal nor Qobuz. Glad I bought the CDs (twice)!

Just beautiful! Thank you for introducing me to something new! Does she have a recording one can buy? I would love to hear more

Good spot, Maestro! I meant the following: p.s. This image is from the CD I bought in the early 1990s. They may have repackaged it since then.

I think @John_M is asking about other people's experience in similar situations. Nothing wrong with that. Added to the fact that they are so expensive and newly purchased, I understand his anxiety. One wants to get the best out of what some would consider "the best"

I am fond of the recording by John Rutter. Since I rip all my CDs and store them on my Google Drive, I would be happy to send you a link to try it out for yourself.

Does the Hanssler set have Rilling conducting the passions and oratorios? If so, I would recommend listening to Richter, on modern instruments, or Suzuki, HIP, instead. Who is the organist(s) and harpsichordist(s) in the Hanssler set?

Definitely. Was planning on buying one CD/download first to get a taste. Years ago, when my fingers were less clumsy, I learned a bit of harpsichord from a wonderful teacher, Elaine Thornburgh. She's got a great set of Scarlatti as well

Android updates are usually staggered as every phone maker and telecom does their own thing. Got an update on my Samsung tablet last week and it did not seem to screw up the 2go connection. But the update partially broke finger print recognition!

Sorry to hear that. Usually iOS updates are smother than the Android ones.

Thank you! I've got to try these!

Thank you for this. Yesterday I decided to buy Henryk Szeryng's recording of Bach's Sonatatas and Partitas for solo violin (having fallen in love with the Szeryng/Walcha performance of the sonatas for violin and harpsichord). Saw that high def versions were available on both Presto and Qobuz...
