Solo SRG versus Solo SRG-II

Thanks for the great advice. Coming by a meet is not easy in Denmark though I wish it was.

I am inclined to upgrade where it matters the most, so maybe I should hold off here. I already upgraded with some pretty pricey interconnects, and while I hear the difference and enjoy the overall enhanced transparency and improved lower frequency range its a relatively subtle improvement.

I will hold off with this for now and save for the Wadia 121 DAC, supposedly due Q3.

Hi Miguel. I already own the K501s and thoroughly enjoy them, wearing them now actually. I happen to really like Denons sound too for certain types of music and film. I just heard the D5000 wasnt too much of a step up from D2000 and not really worth it, from a lot of people on head-fi. Prices have shot up a bit on the D7000 lately I have noticed, any news on new flag ship models from Denon you know of?

Anyway I have been reading about that "linear" version of the Solo, and it sounds very exciting. I will have to wait for some reviews and impressions before I decide between the SRG II and the linear version. I listen at low volume most of the time, so the "noise issue" does not bother me.

No no, the noise Graham talks about with the linear model.

I have spent the last couple of days listening to the Solo SRGII driving a pair of Grado RS-1. I wanted to re-aquient myself with this combo and I am glad I did. The sound is very seductive with an occasional wake up when you can not believe how good the combo sounds. For those who might be interested the source is a Monarchy Audio NM24. Cheers.
