Title: Comparison?
Post by Coyote on 09/19/21 at 18:49:27

Greetings all,

Just for discussion, what is everyone's opinion on the

SE84UFO2
vs
SE34I.5

Apart from the obvious 2W vs 6W!
I am more thinking sound wise, presence, dynamic, etc.
I am thinking someone who would have listen to both amps in an otherwise same system.

Your impressions?

I am personally getting a UFO2, that is what I have on order.
Almost there now, at 674 on the waiting list! ;-)

Cheers,

a.

Congrats on your order! I ordeered the UF02 as well and researched for months comparing the Rachel. There are plenty of threads and you have lots of time to research. Then when I felt close to “parts pulled” I set up a call with Steve. Mine is in testing so I have no firsthand experience to lend but you will find alot here. Sure other veterans will chime in.. Take care and enjoy your journey!

Steve sent me a very helpful email when I was making exactly the same choice - and yes, it came down to my speakers and listening preferences. As the Lii 15s are very revealing he thought I would appreciate the warmth of the Rachael. I seem to recall he said the UFO2 was more revealing, the Rachael a little warmer.

I never did the comparison - but I got the Rachael and have not had a bad music day since. It only gets better (which reminds me, I owe the board a review when I have time).

Best advice is talk to Steve if you can get him, he is SUPER helpful. And there's no bad choices w. Decware, only BETTER choices.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

I dont have experience with other turntables other than the P2, my first, but really like mine. Think it is a very good entry level audiophile TT if there is such a thing…if i wasnt a broke but sincere would have gotten the P6, but this one sounds great and love the clean look, and RED!
