| Esoteric or CEC cd-transport Congrats on getting the CEC transport! They have a very engaging, smooth and effortless sound. Since they're a belt drive design they may require some service over the years, but are much better sounding in my opinion as a transport compared to th... | |
| New Bel Canto REF600M using NCORE Mark - thanks very much for sharing your impressions! The Joseph Audio Pulsars are definitely outstanding speakers. | |
| $15,000 Speaker Does Not List Freq Response Specs Mitch - I believe that Carver sells them direct with a money back trial period, but you'd have to pay for them upfront. | |
| trying to reach Art Audio..... are they gone ? Art Audio's UK website http://www.artaudio.co.uk/?page_id=2 shows Hudson Audio Imports as the current US distributor. Their contact info is on the linked page. Joe Fratus is apparently no longer involved with Art Audio. | |
| Whats wrong If it's the PBN shown in your system listing, I'd suggest contacting them directly. Peter provides excellent support for his products and values his customers. | |
| $15,000 Speaker Does Not List Freq Response Specs This speaker was just reviewed by The Absolute Sound in the October 2015 issue. They list the frequency response as being from "18Hz to beyond audibility (main speakers to 80kHz)". Of course the low frequency limit includes the powered subwoofer a... | |
| On the TV show "The Good Wife" which I watched ton According to Agape126 above they are Vandersteen Treo speakers. | |
| Harbeth vs JM Reynaud I don't understand all the raves about Harbeth. I've auditioned the 30's myself at a Harbeth dealer and found the bass to be very heavy and plodding, completely out of balance with the overall sound. When I mentioned my impressions to the salesper... | |
| New Bel Canto REF600M using NCORE Mark - Would you please share what speakers you're using and what other amps you've compared them to. TIA! | |
| With $20,000 in your hand, what speaker would you FYI - That 2013 sale of Bob Carver Corp. to 'Emotiva' was negated after a few months, so it is now back under Bob's ownership. | |
| Enjoying My New Focal Sopra No2's I heard the Sopra 2 speakers at Quintessence Audio in Morton Grove IL a couple of weeks ago. The day I was there they just received the Sopra 1 monitors which they were getting setup. From what I understand there are Sopra 3's coming around year e... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Congrats Ricred1, that's another great sounding DAC! The only reason I didn't consider it is that its USB input is limited to 96kHz and it doesn't support DSD or DXD rates. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt - If I may correct you on one point, the Rowland 625 (which I own) as well as the series II version are Class A/B output amplifier designs, which do not use an nCore module. The 625 and 725 are their top level amps using a Class A/B output st... | |
| Enjoying My New Focal Sopra No2's You have put together a very nice system - congratulations! Do you have a large listening room? I only ask since when I auditioned the Sopra 2 speakers it was in a pretty large dealer listening room, and one of the most impressive aspects I heard ... | |
| Sonus faber Amatis vs guarneries anybody opinions? I have listened to both and the sound quality of the mids and highs are indeed very similar. The Amati Futuras still image extremely well, so that's not really an issue. IF you have a good enough sub AND IF you can set it up properly to integrate ... |
