Cyril, I do not want to say this yet because of the short time with the amps but I think you were/are correct about the 077 matching better with the 911 monos. I have a feeling that because the 911 only accept XLR cables, using an adapter is not the ideal solution. There are some discussions going on in regards to how the RCA, single ended output from the GAT is interfacing with the XLR only balanced inputs of the 911's. I do not think this is an optimal connection and do not yet know if I am getting the full performance that way. The 077 is simply superb on the 911's. There is no forwardness, it is even across the board. The CR-1's simply disappear. With the GAT, while it is extremely enjoyable, I can tell something seems forced and more forward. I do not know how to fully describe what I am hearing yet but the 077 is certainly interfacing better with the 911's. On the other hand, I simply love to death the GAT with my Dartzeel 108. That combination is breathtaking as well as the 077/911 combo. A different flavor for sure but equally satisfying. I am sure two Dartzeel 108 amps run as mono with my GAT is and will be a force to reckon with. Will that match up take place? Sadly not in the foreseeable future but I would love to try it. The 911's are fuller and ballsier than the Dart but can be just as satisfying when the Dart is used with the GAT. Whew, confused? Last edited by joeinid; 06-13-2012 at 08:42 PM. |

Joe...thanks for the response. I am sure either combo (077/911 monos vs. GAT/Dartzeel) is killer SOTA sound A big congrats again.

For me, cartridges for the TT are like that.

I would go for the 111 / 911 combination..... this is how I have setup the my system (MCD1100 / MC601's) and it sounds great. Let us know what you decide!!

Thank you! No one is more eager than I but supply for the 111 will be short for a while. I am sure user reviews will be slow to trickle in but hopefully soon we should get more details. |

Joe, I'm happy that you're happy & happy is as happy was with both systems.
At the mo I really wanted to give you some feedback on the MSB side of things as a controlling pre-amp & dac, it will happen for me but another 3 wk's to get the build that I want & in-home trial. For you from my point of view, that would be the synergy thing, "111 oooh yeah" in a Barry White accent. Then it all gets boring because you have it ....... |
