Sonodyne SiA320 vs Norge 1000

[abracher9]

Anyone has any views on the comparison between the two? as has been discussed before, we must compare Apples with Apples, not Oranges..

I found the Norge 1000 more refined than this sonodyne. Norge 1000 have better mids and a more open/ airy top end which suits my taste. Yours may vary.

Just as you I have the Norge. Have heard the 320 with the Sono FS ... exquisite. Maybe, it was the synergy. Obviously, only a side-by-side comparison would be needed to come to any conclusion here.

I may be mistaken, but what little I can recollect ... 320 with Sono FS had precise highs, crystal clear mids and good bass. The Norge, I feel has a bit subdued highs, slightly mellow mids (in comparison), maybe slightly more bass .. though, a bit less tight to the 320.

Only side-by-side comparison will do the trick.

Avid how cold is delhi?

Kolkata was worse day before yesterday, I guess. 10 deg to Delhi's 11.5.

Currently, I am at Vilayat, a small sleepy village ... yes, village .... around 30 kms from Bharuch town in Gujarat. Bharuch is 80 kms from Baroda. Its very pleasant here. Visiting a huge green-field Grasim Rayon plant under construction.

Any place to audition them both in Kolkata?

 

[amitksvs]

Guys, Can I audition both of these side by side somewhere in Mumbai? What I know Norge 1000 Refs (with Millenium BS) can be auditioned at Mr.Bajaj's itself and Sonodyne (SIA 320 with their Sonus BS) possibly at CROMA, Malad; Please suggest me which one would be better for genre like classic rock, Jazz, Fusion and Indian classical. I know many of you might have auditioned both of these; please comment!!!

Norge is possible,sonodyne may not.
