| Not another which is best but, I need help w/CDP Chris,Try Rotel's 1072 cd player. Absolute Sound gave it their "budget component of the year" recomendation and I agree it is a very good cd player for the money. Plenty of reviews available at www.ecoustics.com,www.audioreview.com and www.rotel.c... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? To All,Over the last 4 months I have spent considerable time and effort talking to posters, fielding NUMEROUS questions from both observers and posters, arranging listening sessions, demoing a fair amount of equipment on my own, writing reviews an... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? 711,You are entitled to your opinion as much as I am mine. Furthermore, I never accused you on this or any other forum of working for APL. However, others have accused you of just that ...both here and on other threads of your own origin. You know... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? TVAD,I believe if the system we're listening to is transparent enough we will definitely be able to hear general and sonic characteris/differences between each unit and what one unit does better (or worse) than another.From my personal experience ... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Brian,I got your e-mail. Neither 1MarkR (newly Wright modified 999ES) or 711 (APL 3910 & Modwright 3910) are available. I really think we should wait. Actually, 711 is still waiting for Dan Wright to complete his mod of the 3910 so its not eve... | |
| Amplification for Dali MS4 Steve,Whatever you do PLEASE by an amp that is soft and warm. These speakers are so incredibly dynamic and detailed that they don't need the help of any amp to improve in those two areas. The bass and mid-range clarity is phenomenal! The transpare... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Andy,That's even more disappointing when you consider a few audio mag's felt the 2200 outperformed the 2900 in terms of redbook performance. (The 2900 was better in SACD but DVD-A was about the same). I know I had both units at my home for about 3... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Hey Brian,The 29th is not a good day for 1Markr, Jactoy or myself. Since having Bon's modded Sony 9000ES and 1Markr's new Wright modded Sony 999ES are critical to the shootout I suggest we plan another weekend. The person bringing the Exemplar 290... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Musicfirst,Because I have received many personal e-mails suggesting that this thread is biased towards Alex and APL (please view the total history of this thread and in particular Richard Kern of AudioMod's complaints earlier in the thread) we hav... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? TBG,Sorry you feel that way. You are always welcome as a contributor to this thread. All I ask is that if you have personal issues with me or any other poster that you direct your comments to them outside of this thread. AVGURU | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Boa,I will answer your questions in regards to my listening style (what I look for) as we get closer to the shootout. We will probably set up some type of written evaluation form with parameters that everyone can agree to. Then we will compare the... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Dave,I had it in my system for a week and Guido also had an extended listening session with it. I will let Guido respond since he writes so eloquently and can also wax philisophical about the pro's and con's of this fine multi-faceted player. AVGURU | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Guido,I meant to say the X01 instead of the UX1. Regarding the Ayre, someone also at the show told me it sounded very "clinical" but I love Ayre prodcuts and will certainly try to get it. My local dealer still doesn't have one yet but is expecting... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Boa2,I agree that the wait is much too long and I wish I could speed things up. Unfortunately, we are waiting on a bevy of players to arrive before we do the shoot-out. Here is the anticipated line up of players and the personnel who will bring th... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Kana813,In looking through the history of your posts on this thread it does seem that I incorrectly attributed the "shootouts are useless" comment to you when in fact it was Tbg who said it. My apologies. However, I do not apologize for my efforts... |
