matthias Report post #3 Posted February 14 According to customers who listened to both servers the Taiko Audio SGM Extreme seems to offer much better SQ than the SGM Evo. https://www.whatsbestforum.com/threads/taiko-audio-sgm-extreme-the-crème-de-la-crème.27433/ BTW, the turntable is more musical.

Matt I already had SGM Extreme. But because Extreme quality is invincible, I don't post its quality yet. After one month, I'll post Extreme specific contents. 21 minutes ago, matthias said: Report post Speakers : Accuton 3ways 5speakers (D-25) Source : SGM 2015 EVO / SGM Extreme DAC : Trinity DACPre Amp : KX-R Twenty Power Amp : HF : NHB-108 LF : 400W Mono Block Cables : All Entreq AtlantisGrounding : 3 Olympus Tellus, 4 Poseidon, 1 Silver Tellus, 1 Atlantis Tellus 6 Atlantis Minimus, 3 Silver Minimus, 3 Gaia, All Atlantis Eartha, 60 PeakPower Conditioner : 2 Atlantis, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Matt Of cause~!!! But Extreme Demo in Munich will be not helpful, I think. Extreme must be famous in WBF and AS.

If I understand correctly Taiko Audio will be exhibitor in Munich? AFAIK, as SGM importer for Korea you need to have a professional signature here at AS.

Ralf11 Report post #8 Posted February 14 Turntable looks a lot more groovey.

sligolad Report post #11 Posted February 18 Image is shifted heavily to the right for the Evo recording so you are not getting a good centered image like you have on the turntable sound. I would doubt that was the experience in the room so maybe how it was recorded. It does not help in determining which sounds better.

sb6 Report post #12 Posted July 20 How do you know the difference in quality of each source material? Also, it seems both are not level matched. And, as sligolad mentioned the digital is image shifted to the left so not apples to apples. Also, if you want to compare analog vs. digital sources what's the cost of each complete source fed to the preamp including the DAC, cables, etc. for digital vs. the cartridge, phono preamp, cables, isolation, etc. for analog? My guess is the analog (as is in almost every case) is 1.5+ times the cost of the digital, but no one seems to account for the full cost and ends up stating ignorantly, "analog is better". 1 Doak reacted to this Report post 3x20A circuits | PS Audio PPP | Music PC (w/HQPlayer) | HDPLex LPSU -> UltraCap LPS-1.2 -> Sonore Ultrarendu D->D | Aqua Formula xHD DAC | Purity Audio Silver Statement preamp | Wells Audio Innamorata amp (mid/tweet) | Musical Fidelity A3CR amp (woofs)| Vivid Audio Giya G2 series 2 | 2 JL Audio F113 subs | JPS Labs SC3 ICs + Aluminata/SC2 SCs | Stillpoints | Custom birch rack | Fully treated + dedicated 2 channel room Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
