| New BAT VK-300x Hey,i am also very interested in this integrated. Any feedback would be greatly appreciatedCheers | |
| CD Player for around 3500? There are no objective reviews in high end audio. Only opinions. The only sure way is to listen to all of them :)My personal preference lies with : Audio Aero Capitole, Bow ZZ-8 and Electrocompaniet EMC1 Mk II.But then again i havent heard EVERY s... | |
| Cd Player shootout ; which is the best of the best Hi there,i have owned a Wadia 860x, and currently waiting on the delivery of a Bow ZZ Eight.I have listened to all of the CDs you mentionned above, and in my honest opinion, none of them does EVERYTHING right.The mephisto is pure velvet : musical,... | |
| Audio Aero Capitole vs. Audiomeca Enkianthus Bwhite,could you please describe the differences in sound between the Electrocompaniet MKII and the Capitole a bit more ?CheersBad | |
| Any comments on the Meridian 588 CD Player? Ive compared the 588 with the Electrocompaniet EMC1 Mk II and the Electro wins hands down. Much more relaxed, dynamic and lively than the Meridian, which was VERY 2D, VERY flat and VERY disappointing. | |
| Meridian 588, anyone audtion on this CDP Hi heard a Meridian 588 vs an Electrocompaniet EMC1 Mk II and the Electro won hands down in most departments. The 588 sounded very narrow and flat. It didnt fill the room as much as the electro did. Very 2D.I never heard the 508.24 though... | |
| Wadia, Audio Aero, Meridian, BAT and BOW $2800 sounds incredibly cheap !! I just paid $4000 for mine and i live in the country its built in..... i think you should check with your friend, i highly doubt that is the correct quoted price. | |
| A Wadia 860 Question. Well on my remote there are two buttons on the top left (blue buttons) that lets you adjust balance. From memory, they are the two buttons on the first row, one button from the left.How are you liking your new purchase ? | |
| power amp or integrated?--tube of course I would strongly suggest you have a listen to the new integrated from Audio Analogue - the Maestro. I think it will retail at $4500, and even though it is solid state, it is the smoothest sound i have ever heard. And it can drive any speakers...an... | |
| Wadia, Audio Aero, Meridian, BAT and BOW To answer your questions, the retail price in France at a dealer is $4300. But you can get the CDPlayer factory direct for $3900. I dont think you will be able to go any lower than that.If you come to Paris and buy it, be careful when bringing it ... | |
| Wadia, Audio Aero, Meridian, BAT and BOW Well i have the advantage (for once) of living in France, where the Audio Capitole is built. I can buy it for much les money than US folk :)Its actually cheaper over here than a Res Audio CD55 or the Bow Wizard..... It costs smthg like 3.900$.How ... | |
| SACD : why ? Mike : i knew someone what make that it sooner or later :)My point wasn't to affirm or deny the superiority of SACD. As i specified in a later post, i honestly believe that most people will not be able to make enough difference between the two to ... | |
| SACD : why ? I dont get it : why was such a test unfair ? Surely if they really heard a difference they would have said that the SACD was disappointing and sounded inferior, if they had been honest ? Doesnt it show how important the psychological aspect of aud... | |
| SACD : why ? We used the Accuphase transport 100 and matching DAC (the 101 i think) for both CD and SACD play.And this was just an opinion cornfedboy, a prediction. The test was more than revealing to us : even if there is a massive difference in sonics, peopl... | |
