Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
Tbg,Somebody had to step in and take control of a thread that was clearly getting out of hand. Anybody could have done it but no one else wanted to. I was receiving e-mails from other posters asking me to do something. Although it has lessened to ...

To all,It looks like we're back in business again! The thread was temporarily closed down. Why, I don't know (I didn't request it)but my guess is the last post from Springbok10 or a direct complaint from Kern may have caused Audiogon to become con...

711,I didn't realize that in your last post you were just responding to yet another attack on both yourself and this thread by Eldon. I have addressed his comments in an appropriate manner for all to see.AVGURU

Eldon,I take great exception to your comments that this post is run by "Alex supporters" and that your products wouldn't be given a fair accounting via a shoot-out. You are making unfounded assumptions and short changing the integrity, intelligenc...

711,Please, please..you already made your disdain of Eldon and Audiomods well known in a previous post. I think everyone here knows how you feel! I also think everyone here knows you are willing to put your "money where your mouth is" to find the ...

Pscialli,You pose some very good questions. It seems there was an initial buzz of excitement when the McCormack piece first came out based on the first review. However, subsequent reviews and owners comments have either been mixed or only mildy po...

Audiojoy 4,Did you not read my post in regards to making agressive overtures and "sales pitches" towards Alex's or any other modders or individuals products on this thread? What part of my post did you not understand? If you want to be a spokesper...

Eldon & Flye (aka Richard & Kyle),I understand your frustration and your points of contention have been duly noted. There are many on this thread who are aware of the excellent mods you have provided over the years. And most people here ar...

Meridian G08 or Marantz SA11-S1
Paidimalama,You're right...this is AVGURU and I am right around the corner. What exactly is your comment supposed to mean? I've never listedned to the Meridian G08 so I don't know how it sounds compared to the SA 11. Don't make assumptions about m... 
Will a more resolving CDP improve my system?
Newbee,While its true the pre-amp may be limiting your system, there is no doubt a high resolution cdp will still improve your system. In my experience speakers are always first in importance and the source (i.e cdp, turntable, etc) is second. Goo...

Alex,Would you please respond to DIW's comments about no upgrade to the multi-channel/video section? Am I correct in assuming that the upgraded power supplies "indirectly" increase the performance of the video? Also, do you not (upon request) offe...

Islandear,I also am looking forward to hearing the new Ayre universal player as I would like to include it in my final shoot-out results. My dealer should be getting one in the next week. I have a lot of respect for Ayre's engineering talents and ...
