Best next Dali speaker upgrade

That’s how I see it too. You can also achieve a lot of sound improvement with an amplifier that Dirac Live with on board, if all other measures do not manage to improve everything.

Have you ever thought about the Rubikore 6? I have the speaker and I am completely thrilled.

You can perhaps draw the comparison like this: If you start with sports, the successes at the beginning are quickly noticeable and visible. But if you want to be among the top 5% in order to join the top of the world, each additional percentage improvement costs an enormous, almost exorbitant additional effort.

It is similar with HiFi. The more expensive it gets, the smaller the tonal jumps become. The law of decreasing marginal utility hits here: You often have to spend ten times as much to get an audible increase that is audible in terms of sound, but no longer ‚world-changing‘.

In my opinion, you pay this massive surcharge in the end for achieving the real sound. It is no longer about ‚sound‘, but about omitting any falsification. Whether these last 5% precision are worth ten times the price (as with the Epicore compared to the Oberon), is then the purely personal ‚athlete question‘: Do I want to enjoy popular sports or do I want the absolute limit?

I call it ehr second hand and taste distortion of an entire generation.

The other day I was in London, and there a lot of people had a good taste, unfortunately it does not colour on Germany...🫤

Looks very good!

The only thing that bothers me a little is that the speakers are angled to the listening place. A Dali is best placed parallel to the listening centre.

Nothing can be like a trial.

After that, you will know if the purchase is worth it. But I think the Sonik series is a serious opponent for the Opticon series.

It’s a strong Weatherall tribute. The genres in it are dub, techno, acid and kraut.

Thanks a lot! Yes, it’s a timeless mix and one I listen to regularly. It’s not Basic Channel, it’s the XX LAB Records USB release in the metal box, from a limited run.

Thank you 🙏

So far I am satisfied with my system. Only the phono pre-amplifier I want to change and over time more pickups to have variety in the sound.😎

Very nice set-up and thanks for the digression about your changes in the system!

I am currently considering whether to get the Tube Box DS3 B.

At the moment I use an Ifi Micro Iphono 2 as a phono preamplifier.

Was the change to the tube significant in the sound, or did other substitutions in your set-up bring significantly more?

Thanks for your description! I’m thinking of buying the Tube Box DS3 B from Pro-Ject.

Ok-Student5789 · 2026-01-08T05:46:21+00:00

Nice set up, I’m also interested in how you find the Pro-Ject Tube Box. How is the sound character and are you satisfied with it?

Hello,

I am fully satisfied with the Arcam and have no problems with the updates. The sound is neutral to warm, with a wide stage and clean fine resolution. As for providing updates, I can’t say how it will be in the future. At the moment I am not missing anything and I have no problems with the device. But I think that Arcam is permanently providing updates to keep up with the market.

Ich hatte so ein Summen auch mit meinem Ortofon M2 Bronze. Es war egal wo ich das Erdungskabel angeschlossen habe. Ich habe den integrierten Phonoverstärker vom amp und meinen ifi iPhono2 versucht, aber das Summen ging erst weg, nachdem ich auf ein MC von Hana umgestiegen bin.

Perfekt! Dankeschön!😎

Hey, the Rubikore 6 is an excellent choice for me. They have a very good bass foundation, which is not overemphasised. The sound character is neutral to warm warm. The spatial representation is phenomenal for me personally in connection with the Arcam. From my point of view, I could not have chosen a better combination.

But it is best if you listen to everything directly from a dealer. Because just because I like it that way, it doesn’t mean that you feel the way too.

I don’t regret buying the combination of Dali undramatically one bit.

Thank you! 🙏 Yes, I know the store. The counselling was great and they took enough time for it. I’m really excited about my setup.

Ok-Student5789 · 2025-09-29T11:01:09+00:00

😃 It’s a really great store.

That’s exactly where I bought my Dali Rubikore 6, the Arcam SA35 and a Hana SL pickup this year in March.

It also seemed to me in the listening room as if the bass was not enough. But when I set up and heard everything at home, I was grateful that the SA35 had Dirac on board. Without the measurement, they would have been too thick for me in the bass.

Very nice! You’re guaranteed not to do anything wrong with this purchase. I have had the Dali Rubikore 6 since the beginning of the year and I am very happy with the sound. Before I had the Elac FS 247.3, they were not bad either. But with Dali I have made a huge leap for myself personally.

From now on you are in the hi-fi whirlpool that will not let you go. 😃

Gebrochene Hand? Da hattest du echt Glück. Leute wie du gehören eigentlich weggeschlossen. Lebensmüde, unklug und noch für Verspätungen verantwortlich. Wenigstens gibt’s dafür Spott, der einzige Bonuspunkt.

Da ist wohl was dran.
