| Any difference between Meitner MA1 and EMM DAC2x? Yes quite a lot, as a dealer of both pieces, the sound quality of the Dac 2X is more organic with a bigger soundstage, it is just stunning. The MA 1 is a great Dac, it misses the liquidity of the DAC 2x. Both Dacs are built on the same platform, t... | |
| New Esoteric D-07 DAC not a D-07X The D07 was a good but not great dac, even at 1/3 price you can still do better for not much more money.The Chord Qute HD sounds better $1,900.00The Auralic Vega is way better, $3,500.00 | |
| Best DAC ? To Vhiner,There are huge differences in dacs, I have a number of great dacs on display and I would say that comment is ludicrous, I have not heard the $43,000 MSB but if the Marantz is that close then perhaps the MSB is not that good? I have many ... | |

| My first OLED display To Tom, On what planet would a dealer sell a demo of a brand new hot technology and lose thousands and thousands of dollars?First the margin on TV's is typically 10-20% which is pitiful. If you think that is a large margin then you have no idea th... | |

| Hagel H200 with Magico Mini II's? You can drive them but the Hegel H 200 is a good integrated it is not of the same class as the Megicos which deservere s far superior amplifier.I would check out the Norma Audio IPA 140 which is an $8600 integrated with very high current delivery ... | |

| Merrill VERITAS monoblock amplifiers Dude, there is hype and there is reality, I have been doing this for 25 years professionally and most peoples system's sound poor, I don't care how much you've spent. Look at how many people's system don't use power conditioning, room tuning or pr... | |
| Merrill VERITAS monoblock amplifiers I have heard a bunch of Ncores, including the Merrill, sorry guys they don't sound as good as a top shelf conventional amplifier, I have heard them in shows, and in people's homes, nice amplifiers but not as magical as the best conventional amplif... | |
| Wilson Alexia vs Raidho D3 Totally different animals, Wilson superior dynamics, plays louder, bit more low bass emphasis.Radiho overall more transparency, more coherence. Personally I would take a pair of Sceana 3.2 or a pair of Vivids over either one of these speakers. | |
| Where's the talk/reviews on the Emotiva UMC-200? Odyssey is one of the rare companies, but there stuff isn't as cheap as Emotiva.Have you heard the Sanders? They beam like crazy, are low in sensitivity, have to be bi-amped and are large and ugly speakers, thanks but no thanks. The press is full ... | |
| Legacy Speaker Owners Assistance Request A couple of points, one your room is very large, and two you should narrow down which speakers you are going to go with.The Whispers employ bass amps which does take a lot of work off the main amps so do some of their new models.I would settle on ... | |
