Not sure if Transparent Cable is the best match.
And I also dont know how to actually classify a cable as the best match.
Hard to determine coz there are millions of cables out there waiting for us to try.

Just bear in mind that the cables should not be overly expensive compared to the speakers.

Yter? I would only consider using it if i have a pair of Stradivari Homage

My personal thought on speaker cables is that, they are used to fine tune your system. As a fine tuning device, there's no such thing as 'the best match' is there?

I'm really happy to become the owner of sonus faber TOY yesterday.
Actually I got it earlier but only have chance to listen my TOY singing yesterday!

Really wan to thanks Pcwork, Alvin and engimatic.
To me, TOY is more than a pair of speakers. Is a milestone of my audiophile life.
A milestone of my friendship with pcwork, Alvin, engimatic and others in LYN.

I really appreciate Alvin to spend time to "educate" me although a costumer who owned a GUARNERI is waiting him for lunch.
Thanks Pcwork to spend whole night with me yesterday and let my sleep in front of your SFCD yesterday..lol

For those who wan to start to enjoy HIFI, sonus faber TOY is really a good start. Good entry level speakers.
I'm sure it is not so called down-grade of sonus faber CONCERTINO.
It has it own beauty. Even in some expect, it can be better than CONCERTINO if you know how to appreciate it.

At 1st, I really hard to decide between SFCD and TOY due to the low and bass.
But, dun get it wrong, TOY got nice and deep bass! (dun judge it buy the outlook)
I really regret i complain TOY no bass when I 1st listen to it...

haha.."who say TOY no bass?". This is what I asked myself this 2 days..

Really a chilli padi!! Dun play play..but play it seriously..

I am saving up for an amp...so my TOY have to rest for quite a long time again..

Any pics?

so you wanna get the same amp with pcwork is it?

my new toy.

Here are some photos..

Yes, PcWork is a really nice and genuine person. every time i drop by to meet with him, he will not forget to share his new stuff and collection with me. He is someone who really treat audio lovers as friend. Appreciate his sharing and inspiring mind.

I second that. Taught me alot, ALOT, till I didn't give up on my dream to get Toy.

Hopefully I can earn enough so I could grab my Toy before this year ends!




After burn in Toy really sounds totally different than pre burnt in Toy. At first when Theng was testing it over at Perfect Hifi, his face was like "WTF where is the bass?" hahaha.. But after burnt in, it sounded totally like a different monster. As you all can see, theng's bloody darn happy right there.

Btw.. Those bloody Hxxxxxxx things are making my head spin.. Agh. Can make SO much difference to the music produced. >_<

Oi Sep... When you wanna play with speakers la? Wanna wait till when? Haha.

hmm still searching my speakers soundsignature..... anything sound like HD800 + BeyerDynamics 880 600 ohms High and Bass?
afterall i got amp/dac/powercords/cables/ tweaks covered aledi
the biggest concern the room location & accoustic treatment....

now very senstive to very minor touching..... and now really depends on my time of listening as well...dammm
1 day very good other day very funny and bright, 1 day dark and slow really funny....

A very good review on SF Toy 5 speakers setup (HT)

http://www.sumikoaudio.net/sonus/reviews/SF_TOY_HT_05_09.pdf

theng ye bro
which amp u looking for to pair with yur sonus faber?
poweramp or preamp?

The side wall of the TOY's woofer is actually very thick and stiff.
It will take a huge amount of time to run in the speakers.

With the correct positioning, they can produce good bass and hard to believe that the bass is actually from speakers of this size.

theng ye,
I am sure you will hantam the amp very soon.
Everyday can only watch but cannot listen to the TOY.
It must be very 'painful' and hard to resist.

enigmatic,
When are you going to get yours?

car_o_scope, you changed your SFCD to TOY?

theng ye, what amp are u using to match SF TOY? Perhaps you can give us your initial review, keep us inform the progress of run-in.

Other TOY's users, please share your review and matching amplifier.

Thanks
