| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 No doubt about that, if there was one right product there wouldn't be hundreds of manufacturers; I don't think any serious enthusiast would ever have the delusion that there is a best. The key is that the person is happy with their system. | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 He's probably referring to the press falling all over themselves praising Wilson speakers. At the end of the day, many people, myself included, are of the opinion that Wilson hasn't been SOTA (ever?) for some time now, particularly not with Focal'... | |
| CDP with volume and digital input...Which one? Based upon your requirements you should take a pass on the Wadia 581/se; the bass is light. | |
| High end AC plugs/receptacles... Yes, Oyaide and Furutech are worth every penny. | |
| CDP with volume and digital input...Which one? Drop the Levinson, it's simply not a player that will do what you want. If you have the cash, the Wadia 861se with GNSC Statement upgrade will do all that you what and then some. | |
| Esoteric P5/D5 Opinions please Thanks. | |
| Esoteric P5/D5 Opinions please Obviously, I meant superior to the D-03. | |
| Esoteric P5/D5 Opinions please Tboooe, Did you actually try the P-05/D-05 and P-05/D-03 combinations before choosing? You also mentioned that you picked the D-05 not based upon price but you didn't mention the most important aspect of an audio component, performance. Did you fe... | |
| Esoteric P5/D5 Opinions please Of course. Looks like you can have the Dual AES/EBU + BNC Clock and then SPDIF and TOSlink sources. | |
| Esoteric P5/D5 Opinions please Glad this got bumped back up. I just talked to an actual dealer regarding his impressions of the P-05/D-05 and he felt it was better than the X-01 D2 and, frankly, close enough to the P-03/D-03 that Esoteric might be stealing sales away from itsel... | |
| Surge Protection Avoid. imo, the PS Audio Duet and the larger unit will pretty much ruin a system. At that pricepoint, you might as well leave it all unprotected. | |
| Esoteric P5/D5 Opinions please According to Esoteric Europe they did a head to head and the combo lost out to the X01D2. Based upon the comments, it is likely that it's superior to the X-03, which isn't that hard (although it's a good unit at the pricepoint). At the end of the ... | |
| Transparent Audio Power Cords My experiences don't correspond with yours; I haven't experienced any issue with the PLMM restricting dynamics of my monoblocks. Further, to address the insinuation that it was the "network box" that was limiting dynamics: (1) Transparent doesn't ... | |
| Python Alpha versus VH Audio AirSine As indicated above, the outlet needs to be changed first but the Airsine is as good as the Python Helix imo. | |
| Mark Levinson Where is the Emotion?? While I'm not a huge fan of Levinson's digital work, with that Denon in there, there's no way you can tell anything about what's wrong. Fix your system and then worry about getting it to where you want it to be. |
