| Top turntables? The new Grand Prix Monaco Turntable is really something very special. I owned a Basis Debut for many years and recently changed to the SME 20/2. The SME 20 was a very big improvement over my second generation Basis. I changed from the SME 20 to th... | |
| MM-Threes I heard them at the show. To give you some perspective, I'm a big fan of the big Avalons, MBL 101's and Kharma Esquisites. The Evolutions are in a whole other league. They were the purest, most resolving most transparent speakers I ever heard. The... | |
| Do dealers believe in their products? I have been an audiophile since the 70's and recently became a home based dealer. Yes, there are politics involved as well as other issues, but I truely believe that you need to believe in your products and have a real passion about them. Loving m... | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? I'm an audiophile of 30 years who became a home based dealer for many fantastic products. My reference system is the Evolution Acoustic speakers (finest I ever experienced) , DarTZeel amp/pre-amp, EMM Labs new 1 box CDSA, Grand Prix isolation and ... | |
| Best analog sounding cd player under 5K The new EMM 1 box player is the best digital I ever experienced. Even on redbook, it is supremely musical and very organic sounding player. I am basically an analog guy and I'm currently running a state of the art analog front end (new Grand Prix ... | |
| which is better speaker cable I would think that either cable is not up to the standards of your speakers. Jena Labs would be a far better performer, but the new Evolution Acoustics cables (I'll be getting mine very shortly) will be incredible. | |
| Best value Bookshelf speaker Check out the Harbeth P3 monitors. They won't knock the walls down but can play at good volumes. No deep bass but the bass they have is very articulate and tuneful. Most of all, they have that magical Harbeth sound. Very natural tonality, supremel... | |
| Anyone compared Critical Mass and Finite Elemente? Before you buy racks, stands, I suggest you check out the Grand Prix Audio gear. Sonically, it is the best many have tried, nyself included. They should handily outperform the Finite Elemente and critical mass, especially if you max the Grand Prix... | |
| Turntables from 1-10: Personality 8.5 Beauty 12 I'm using the new Grand Prix Audio Monaco table. I've owned many tables over the years, and this is the best I ever owned. Don't know if you will like the looks and the price is over your budget ($19,500 for the table only). My previous table was ... | |
| Movies that featured High End equipment The movie with Sandra Bullock is Love potion No 9. Also, Robert Redford was playing Vinyl on a VPI TNT in the movie where he paid demi 1 million to sleep with him (forgot the name). | |
| Consonance Droplet CDP owners Kira - This player cannot compare in any way to my new EMM 1 box player, but for the price, it sounded excellent. Analog like sound with a nice open stage. Missing some detail, but still enjoyable to listen to. It does sound digital and artificial... | |
| Any experience with the new EMM CDSA SE ? Hi Frank,I am using the high output on the EMM player. | |
| QUAD 2905 . humidity and reliability I always seemed to have some issues with electrostatics over time even in an environment with low humidity. I would eventually hear some rattling from the panel on certain frequencies. This has happened on Quad 63's, Logans, Acoustats, etc. After ... | |
| Any experience with the new EMM CDSA SE ? My EMM CDSA SE was promising out of the box (a bit compressed and a bit digital sounding but very impressive nonetheless). After about 10 hours, the sound really opened up and became very analog like in its rich natural tonality. Although it has a... | |
| Question for EMM CDSA SE owners The player is FANTASTIC. I'm going into my dartzeel pre-amp. You need a pre amp. Can't run it direct. |
