Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
Sorry, I didn't realize that my wife (Evita) had signed in on this computer. That's me (boa2) responding above.Whoops! 
Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
Come to think of it, I did not touch the steering wheel once during the two hour drive to Alex's home. When we arrived, I again thought it odd that he was sneaking us through a side door into a room that looked suspiciously like an audiophile safe... 
Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
My wife and I had the opportunity to listen to the APL Denon 3910 today, hosted generously by Alex at his home. We listened to a variety of music for about 45 minutes, and what we both noticed was that the music sounded like playback in a recordin... 
Anyone heard the Audio Note AX2 signature?
To my ear, Silverline's are very engaging, mate well with many different amps, and image surprisingly well even when close to the wall. Joseph's are a little drier, but authoritative. Haven't heard the Tyler's or the Merlin's. Audio Note monitors ... 
What are the loopholes of sending COD to nonmemb.
Overhang,You have all the credibility here, and your buyer has none. My buddy lost about $4K sending a Rolex COD--forged check. As others have mentioned, if you are willing to run the risk of not getting your money, go right ahead. I absolutely wo... 
Which speaker is the master of IMAGING ????
That's easy. The President of the United States...atany given time in history. 
Audionote Soro SE, or cheaper single-ended?
Sorry, Oliver. I had forgotten that you had the SR15's. I don't know how I would, since they've come up in many a discussion. I've had the Wright's mated with a pair of 90dB speakers, and it worked, though not nearly as well as with our 104dB horn... 
Audionote Soro SE, or cheaper single-ended?
Not an integrated, Oliver, but if you want stellar sound, buy a pair of George Wright Mono 3.5's and run them direct into a CD player with internal preamp OR with stepped attenuators. You could also use a passive preamp. For $1430 new, I don't thi... 
Anyone heard of Swan Lee?
I'm glad you like it, Ozfly. I knew that someoneelse would hear the other influences that escaped me.Kate Bush is definitely one of them.Enjoy! 
Were to go after a Rega Planet 2000?
I've heard all of the Sony's mentioned here, and found them to be exactly as you describe: excellent detail, authority, and superb dynamics. And no midrange. The AA Prima is a much more intimate player, with a seductive midrange, and certainly eno... 
Were to go after a Rega Planet 2000?
Yes, Rene, I did have the Planet and then the Planet 2000. I've also owned the JD-100A, a Sony XA7ES, and now the Prima. The Prima is an outstanding player. With jazz/classical/vocals, I think it's hard to find better unless you spend A LOT more m...

Hope you like it, Ozfly. 
Placette Audio – Great Customer Service
I went from a 2A3 amp to a 300B, and Steve at Herbie's Audio Lab told me to just send back his Hal-o's for the 2A3 and I could pay the small difference to get those for the 300B. This was after I'd been using the Hal-o's for six months.Also, there...
