| CD/SACD Player that is at least as good as OPPO BDP 103D Your second question has now raised the used price from $1,000 to $2,000 for CD/SACD quality. I have owned the Oppo 105D and a Modwright Oppo 105D. I also still own an Oppo 203 and an Oppo 205. I highly suggest that you keep your eyes open for a M... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 Full disclosure. I am a Joseph Audio fan. I've heard them at shows in medium sized rooms and small rooms. At home, I have run Perspectives and now run Pearl 3s. I've compared them directly to other speakers with the idea that if I heard something ... | |
| CD/SACD Player that is at least as good as OPPO BDP 103D Based on your price point, I doubt it. | |
| Is my DAC my weakest link? +1 @erik_squires on the Furman recommendation for your system. A power conditioner basically does what it sounds like it does. It makes sure the power your system sees is, in easy terms, "clean and steady." The electricity coming into your house h... | |
| Is my DAC my weakest link? I recommend the Chord Mojo. There is one currently listed for less than $400 on Agon. It's not mine. I use the Mojo as a headphone DAC when traveling. I know that others on this site use the Mojo as the primary DAC in their home systems. | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 @rlb61 Did Jeff Joseph happen to say if this upgrade is planned on the entire Joseph line of speakers? | |
| Does anyone pay the same attention to their car audio? I will take the audio upgrade every time. And I will not upgrade it myself because I want to be able to resell/trade the car in the future. If I owned or chased restorations, then I would want the stock OEM audio. | |
| Radikal Linn LP12 or Palmer 2.5? @latenitecity I heard the Technics SL-1000R. It is $18K with tonearm. You may want to give this a listen if you haven't already. Speed is perfect. It plays the record at the exact right speed through every passage--even complex ones. The big probl... | |
| A tubed integrated amp for Joseph Audio Pulsars? @beeswax Before going the mono amp route, I happily used the Jeff Rowland Continuum S2 integrated amp with my JA Perspectives. I realize it is not an integrated tube amp. But, Rowland and Joseph Audio pair very well together and the Continuum has ... | |
| Incoming ... Joseph Audio Pulsars @moto_man Congratulations! The JA sound is worth the price and then some. I bought the JA Perspectives a couple of years ago and they sound great with every music genre I have thrown at them.EnjoyRegardsAl | |
| Albert Porter I had dinner with Albert last night. He is encyclopedic on analog. I asked him to help me because I'm considering adding analog to my system. It was a lot of fun and I learned a great deal. If you want an honest answer, then ask Albert. | |
| Radikal Linn LP12 or Palmer 2.5? @latenitecity Today I auditioned the AMG Viella V12 with the 12JT Turbo tonearm and Benz Gullwing SLR cartridge. The associated equipment was Audio Research Reference 3 Phono to an Audio Research Reference 6 pre to Audio Research 160M mono blocks.... | |
| Doshi Audio Dealers--Where Are They? Thank you much. When I was on the site earlier I was getting a 404 error. | |
| Anyone listening to the multichannel SACD’s ? I listen to 5.1 mix SACD via Oppo 205=>Anthem AVM-60=> AnthemMCA-525=>Triad Silver Speakers with a Triad dedicated subwoofer amp. The DSP on the AVM-60 helps 5.1 mixes really stand out because it allows the signals in the different channe... | |
