| Help me decide Revel or Focal I apologize if my comments on the Sopra 2s were taken as being negative, as that was not my intent. I really found them to be very impressive, but I found some other speakers more to my liking. There are few if any speakers that appeal to everyone... | |
| Audio Technica ART 9 From everything I've read the AT ART9 is actually superior to the Denon DL-S1. Of course it's very subjective by nature and YMMV. | |
| Enjoying My New Focal Sopra No2's Congrats on your new Sopra speakers! I auditioned them and found them to have a very impressive sound, with great dynamics, imaging, and detail. Definitely a great buy, although they may not be for everyone (what speakers are?) I prefer a speaker ... | |
| Verastarr amplifiers? Anyone ? Owners or Opinions Verastarr has a related company that performs equipment modifications: http://hotrodaudiomods.com/ I have no experience with them, just clarifying regarding the above posts. | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC The Bricasti M1 DAC was also again listed in Class A+ by Stereophile. Just sayin'. ;~) | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... In the US LP Gear still has the ART9 available for $1,097. http://www.lpgear.com/product/ATART9.html | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt - I know there's quite a list of speakers you've tried and I may have missed your mention of them, but have you considered any Sonus faber speakers? I just heard their Guarneri Evolution monitors and was blown away by them. While there are ot... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD It is said that many listeners think they want a system with flat frequency response, until they hear one! My experience agrees with Agear's. | |
| Help me decide Revel or Focal Immediately after my audition of the Sopra 2 speakers I heard the Sonus faber Guarneri Evolution monitors connected to the exact same system. While they're admittedly more expensive and only a two way monitor, they completely outclassed the Sopras... | |
| Help me decide Revel or Focal I haven't heard the Revels but did audition the Sopra 2 speakers. I would describe their sound as being very impressive, with outstanding extension, dynamics and imaging. What I didn't like was that I found them to be a bit analytical in their ove... | |
| Esoteric K-03 X - mechanical problems w tray While it may have taken longer than you'd like, you're ending up getting a new unit which is what you wanted. Dealing with large companies often requires the involvement and decision making from many levels to get the needed approvals for somethin... | |
| What Did I Do Wrong? Further comments found on EL34 vs. EL34B comparison: "The Tung-Sol EL34B's have tremendous bass presence compared to the stock EL34. They were noticeably different in the way they sounded. The Tung-Sol EL34'B had better, fuller, brighter, and all ... | |
| What Did I Do Wrong? Joe - From thetubestore.com's page for the Tung-Sol EL34B - "When driven into distortion it starts off a bit crunchy like a 6L6 but as you push it, the sound blooms into that singing EL34 tone with great sustain and modest compression." From the m... | |
| Hear sibilance on Krall, Famous Blue, D. Fagen? Please don't take any offense since that is not my intention, but I'm afraid that you're hearing the limitations of your digital source components. I have tried for many years to eliminate such sounds from digital playback and unfortunately it's v... | |
