So I spent about an hour with the EVO 400 on Saturday. The EVO 300 unit they usually have was out for an in-home demo, and the dealer thought they were similar enough for a first listen. He had set up a pair of Focals that weren’t the same as mine but a successor. Long short, it sounded great...

Go on...

I was just headed over to the tube thread to talk about that. :)

Everything was different, but I actually didn’t have it connected to a turntable, it was connected to my laptop via an inverse RIAA filter. I brought it an hour or so north to Fidelis on Saturday so they could check it out. Have you ever brought your car to a mechanic because it was making a...

Hmmm... I could leave my plastic in Massachusetts to be safe. But I won't.

Since I'm heading up to New Hampshire to drop off my Sutherland at Fidelis, I'm going to go demo a Prima Luna EVO 300 @ Audio Video Therapy. As it turns out, they carry my Focals so it'll be kinda like listening at home. Okay, not really. But it should be fun.

Right now I’m regretting not having TWO Sutherlands.

Not yet, thanks. I’m in a little bit of a holding pattern until I can drive up to Fidelis in NH to get it checked out. That’s where I bought it originally. I’m hoping to get up there in the next few days.

Does the difference mostly come down to the Souls using a single full range driver vs a quality speaker with crossovers?

Thanks for the explanation. I ask because the Herb Reichert said he preferred the sound he got from the speakers when hooked up at 8ohms. I didn’t realize that was a no-no for a 6ohm speaker. https://www.stereophile.com/content/wharfedale-linton-heritage-loudspeaker-page-2

How does it stress the amp?

Great review. I’m curious if you tried hooking it up to the 8ohm taps at all. If so, what were your impressions?

Come on, now, ‘fess up!

I haven’t yet, but I will. Today is the first chance I’ve had to take a closer look since it happened.

The problem follows. At the moment it’s not hooked up to my living room setup.

So I tried using the standard power supplies and different interconnects with the 20/20 and no change on the performance of the left channel (or lack thereof). I get the tiniest bit of sound out of it, and tweaking the gain does affect the amount of output, but nowhere near listening levels.

@kvetcha What made you decide to start looking for a replacement for the Jolida?

The Decware sounds more like an end game component that your system grows around over time.

Have you tried the headphone amp on the Torii yet?
