Hello everybody from Bonn, Germany,
I just purchased a used pair of Reference 3As De capo i on Audiogon and I am amazed by thier musicality and precision. I like them a lot, even if I drive them currently with a Linn Classik 'all-in-one' component (those got in the meantime quite unexpensive here in Europe), which might be considered in a somehow 'lower' class. Cables are Paul Spelz anti-cables with Audioquest silver bananas (crimp). I mostly listen to contemporary (modern) jazz stuff.
I found this forum very interesting and involving !!!
However, it seems that I need some help from the beginning, as I don't yet have appropriate stands and, although european companies offer quite a lot of good ones (especially in the UK), their heigh is not adjustable and more importantly, they are not heigh enough. According to Reference 3A, a MINIMUM of 30 inch (70 cm) should be used.
So I would try to go with reference 3A phenolic stands and I would be interested to know if there is by accident somebody on the forum willing to sell these (for upgrade reasons, etc.).
Thanks in advance anyway !!
Adrian
