| Cambridge Audio 751 BD or Oppo BDP95? Audiozen, the DacMagic contains 2x wolfsen chips. One for each of it's 2 channels. The BD-751 contains 5x wolsen chips. One for each of it's five channels (you will only be using 2 for stereo).The DacMagic uses ATF upsampling tehchology licensed f... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne Looks like the Magico Q1 will be to standmount speakers what Nordost Valhalla was to cable builders. A high dealer margin product to aspire and beat for a much cheaper cost. | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne Jtinn, I do not think 20k of amplification is too much or little for any type of speaker price range. I am just pointing out that it is a very expensive integrated amp.I hope that the MMMicroOne can give a substantial amount of it's performance wi... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne I was just about to mention that Stereomojo show report. Everyone should read it, simply for the pure entertainment, compared to other show reporting which is basically just listing the room and gear without giving opinion regarding the sound.Anyw... | |
| Skywire's cables... experiences? Scarcity thereof? Abramsmatch, to me stranded sliver plated copper, has a slight artificiality that pure copper and pure silver do not have. But I also prefer solid core and ribbons over stranded cables.But this conversation is being unfair.... the Skywire will sma... | |
| Totem Mani 2 sig what do you think? Everything you read about the Mani-2 Sig says you need 200w + to hear what they can do.Those using integrated amps probably do not understand what the fuss is about and move on to other speakers, having missed out on hearing the full potential.Thi... | |
| Dynaudio Confidence C1 and Vivid V1.5 The Vivid range has to be some of the most ugly looking speakers ever made.In fact I almost root for them to sound bad, so I would never have to consider buying them. | |
| Skywire's cables... experiences? Scarcity thereof? I only have the Skywire SE interconnects, and I think they are very very good cables for the money. I bought them after MDW rave about the 1400 series.The science behind them is real, and that is probably why they are so quiet. But.... I do not li... | |
| Sonus Faber Cremona vs. Cremona M again, I know It has been years since I listened to any other Sonus Faber, so I have no frame of reference here, but the Auditor M is one heck of a good standmount speaker.It is perfect for small ensemble type music, strings and vocals e.t.c maybe not so good f... | |
| Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grand + Bel Canto C5i vs.. Regarding the Bel Canto C5i... you can tell from reading this thread there are no raves about this product, and it seems those who purchased are struggling to find positives and justify the purchase.Looking at the inside pics, it may well be the D... | |
| Cambridge Audio 751 BD or Oppo BDP95? Both the Oppo and Cambridge are based off the new Mediatek SDK, a standardized product for high end blu-ray capabilities using advanced video scaler called the Marvell QDEO.Mediatek license this design out to smaller firms so they do not have to r... | |
| Review: Primare I30 Integrated Amplifier I recently heard the i30 and it could be the hidden gem of the integrated amp world.It has a neutral sound, but is not cold or digital. The treble has great detail, yet it is non harsh or grainy. The sound is relaxed and laid back, yet has good rh... | |
| Interconnects: solid or hollow core wire? The theory is - solid core does not suffer from strand interaction which causes distortion. But I also think the larger the gauge you go the with solid core, the more problem you get with skin effect.Perhaps it is best to have mutiple, thin runs o... | |
| Interconnects: solid or hollow core wire? Hey Rodge, Yes I am using the newer, thicker DNM wire for 'normal' speakers.I should clarify, when I say it lacks the last octave, I am being unfair, because this is only in comparison to my Downsize Audio 2" wide copper ribbon cables. They have a... | |
| Interconnects: solid or hollow core wire? I have used DNM solid core speaker cable. This design is 1mm in size and fixed in a spaced configuration. There was a jump in clarity and pace compared to traditional stranded copper cable.The only downside has been a lack of bass in the last octa... |
