Very good User, we're glad you are digging it. Music on the go makes life better 🙂

Hello Christopher, both sound really good and are compact. ORA's speakers are bi-amplified internally, with each tweeter & woofer separately tuned, so you hear better detail in both the bass and mid / high frequencies. All crossover duties are handled by DSP, so the sound is surprisingly clear. ORA goes a bit deeper in bass response @ 70 Hz as the roll-off. But we've got loads of happy customers with YU 2 as well, so it's really a price point decision for you: skybygramophone.com/collections/kanto

Hello Levinste, yes and no. The unit does have tubes, so it can get somewhat warm, but in our experience it doesn't get really hot. Please reach out to us if you have further questions: ask@gramophone.com

@@GramophoneMD Thank you I just wanted to order it but it's not available ( Germany ) If I can't find one available, I'll have to search for some similar amp, sometime like iFi iCAN Pro Signature. What would you recommend, price range, about 2000 Euro?

Thank you Zeke

Nice work Tyler, that was a good investment for sure

Hello Geickmel, thank you for your comments. This 6 minute video wasn't meant to comprehensively cover every aspect of speaker placement, but more of a "here are some simple tips to help". We posted a more detailed video from the folks at Sonus faber, found here:ua-cam.com/video/0Toiwe-Xe98/v-deo.html. True, the primary idea with toe-in is to get the best imaging and a realistic soundstage. But there is overlap with other aspects of listening. Speakers that are brighter may overly accentuate the high end if toed in, especially in a room lacking absorption. Thanks for supporting our channel!

Good point Timothy, some vendors more than others keep trying to push the boundaries and innovate with their product development. NAD has been pretty consistent in doing so. Thank you for your support

Hi Carl, we're not sure about your comment re won't power Magnepan 20.7's, as this is a preamp without a power amp. Please feel free to reach out to us and clarify: ask@gramophone.com

Sweet!

Thanks Maddog, the Forest Signature looks as beautiful as it sounds - a classic Totem product

Hello Maddog, we hope it's cooler there today than it is here 🙂

Thank you Maurizio, we do too 🙂

Hello Mr, it's true that it doesn't have home theater bypass, but it is one of the most feature - rich preamps we've ever seen, an amazing unit.

@@GramophoneMD Not to mention it’s also missing a native Apple music app, whereas my Eversolo dmp-a6 does.

Hi Natty, the Automat A1 has a really solid feel to it, with better build quality, vs some of the lesser models we've seen. The sonic differences are most notable in the bass range. The AT decks are quite good for their price, but you might really appreciate Pro-Ject Automat A-1 when you see it in person. Visit us if you can!

Hello NC, lots of people agree with you that a smaller speaker fits their environment better. We hope you can audition both Loon and Bison Monitor sometime soon. The Bison Monitor might provide the more clear upgrade path vs what you have now: skybygramophone.com/collections/totem/products/totem-bison-monitor-bookshelf-speaker-pair. Please reach out to us if you want to discuss: ask@gramophone.com

Hello The, you hit it right. Totem Metal sound really integrated, not accenting one or another part of the sonic spectrum, and very non fatiguing

Thanks Bharatkrav, the MC 1502 is great, a beastly 150 wpc, and stable enough to drive tough loads. Nova V is 90 dB sensitivity, a 4 ohm load; this combo should sound great. Please reach out to us if you want to discuss further; ask@gramophone.com

Thanks David

Good John, we're glad you are happy with yours!

Enjoy them, Gregg - the 804 D4 being the most affordable true 3 way speaker in the 800 Series is a great value. Play them often and LOUD, and let us know in a couple weeks how you are liking them

Thanks Maurizio

Hello Lo, LSX II LT are not affordable for everyone, but they are a solid value vs other compact wireless systems, and we're really glad to have them

Thanks Mike, a classic speaker - one of the first "push the boundaries" speakers ever made! Are you using the MA 12000 amp with yours?

Hi Timothy, yes - both have pluses and minuses. The first time you listen to open-back planar magnetic 'phones, the depth and breadth of the soundstage can be mind-blowing! But when around others on a bus or a plane, that doesn't work well. We plan on more headphone reviews - a fun part of our industry

Hey James, RS 250 has no mics on board. But it supports AirPlay 2, so Siri will respond to your voice commands, and your Google Assistant device will also offer you voice control. You can learn more at this link, or reach out to us: ask@gramophone.com skybygramophone.com/products/mcintosh-rs250-wireless-loudspeaker-system?_pos=17&_sid=0a29ce37e&_ss=r

Hi Dave, yes, Rotel in general is a strong value brand, and this CD 11 Tribute in particular is a great player for the money. Congrats to you!

Thank you for your input

Hello Brahand, yes, we had a tech issue with his mic that did not show up in the edit process until after he'd left town - our apologies

Hello Anmic, of course we can't test the PMA-110 against your M-73 and c-73, a combination we've never heard. But our guess is that it will be a nice upgrade for you. Congrats on buying your Focals, they are fine speakers!

@@GramophoneMD Hi! Thank you so much! I will give it some more thinking and maybe I will get back to you with my opinion on… old vintage vs new vintage sound. :) Thank you!

Thanks Tony, Coastal Source makes excellent sounding speakers, and you can integrate lighting into the system too - people love that!

Hello King, aesthetics matter more to some folks than others 🙂

@GramophoneMD Only to someone that is in to nothing.

Hello The, we're sorry this product did not work out for you. Some on this post like them a lot. Sometimes the room can have a big influence on what we hear

Hello Mr., while this is a multi-channel home theater receiver, our thought is that you will really like it on 2 channel as well - it's a great sounding receiver, the best they have ever done. But if you are primarily a 2 channel listener, you''ll want to evaluate whether that money is better spent on other elements in your system - for example, upgrading to better speakers or adding a second subwoofer. Feel free to reach out to us to discuss further: ask@gramophone.com

Thanks Antony for a Monday morning chuckle

Hello Art, we're sorry to hear that it did not work out for you, and we're wondering if you received a unit that was somehow defective

Hello Min, it seems the MM-500 is satisfying to you when you listen to the type of music you like. We're really impressed with it at its price point. In some ways, 'phone listening can be even more personal than speakers, so go with your gut. If you like the comfort as well, take the plunge with one of the most positively reviewed headphones we've seen in a long time. People love their MM-500's

Hello Jay, yes, in our listening, dialog (and midrange in general) sounds very good on the LS 60. Our customers have been very happy with these: skybygramophone.com/collections/kef

Hello Callum, it is hard to say, as there are many price points to pick from. Additionally your own preferences come in. Some folks only want to consider a small sub, others are less concerned with cabinet size. Please reach out to us for more input: ask@gramophone.com

Great to hear it, Jim! A cool thing with Totem is you don't have to sit in the sweet spot. I rarely have time to do that anymore, and with Totem, off axis works fine

Hi Joe, we're sorry to disappoint you. Changing connections involves a change of tooling, which is costly - so it may change in the next version

Hi MG, yes, Lumina II are really clean and clear in ways that stand out against so many competitive products. They even look cool 🙂

Im going to use a similar setup, how is the dialogue in films? they are going to be mainly for music..but am curious how they sound for movies

@@profpigeon5441 excellent. To me, it's almost like I added a center channel for just vocals. Dialogue is crystal clear thru these. You will be impressed.

@@mgaming7 thanks i get them on tuesday, pretty excited

@@profpigeon5441 let them break in for a minute. Come back and tell us what you think of them.

Hello Veno, it's hard to quantify how much of an improvement, partly as people's reactions to a product can vary with taste. Play a good speaker and a better one for one person, who loves the better one - and someone else will say they don't hear much difference. Power conditioners filter out noise, so late at night for example, when your neighborhood has less usage, you'll typically hear less difference than when the power grid is busier. But you can expect improvement, yes. If you have more questions please reach out to us: ask@gramophone.com
