| Reference DACS: An overall perspective 08-04-15: Agear Melb as in Melbourne? I am still confused by the name change. Is this part of some rehab program?Agear, yes i'm from Melbourne, Australia in case any of the 'Sydney mafia' want to troll me. Bodhi is my member name on high end forum... | |
| B&W 800D2 - Bi-amping vs Bi-wiring Good move with the KWA-150SE which is warm & tube-like, has plenty of power & is beautifully built. Dan is a great guy to deal with & very honest. You'll have plenty of grunt with 2 150's! | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Cheers Charles, I thought I was about to get a call from Jesse Ventura :D I always hated Melbguy1..it sounds to much like a dodgy dating site handle, lol. | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective There is no mystery, Melbguy1 was/is me! I changed my member name several weeks ago to Bodhi, but instead of updating my existing profile, Audiogon created a new profile. I understand the Web Developer is working on merging the two profiles, and b... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective 08-03-15: AgearBodhi, I heard the Vitus in 2014. If you like it, you like it. I like the overall Vitus sound. He did not have Vitus amps (newest Gen of big VTLs into Rockports).I am sure I would be blown away by what the Lampi can do in it's eleme... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective 08-02-15: AgearBTW, Bodhi, post your system. That would be helpful....Agear, I will be posting my system thread soon as that will be a long session. But here is my equipment list fyi..Front End: Vitus SCD-025, Oppo BPD-103AU Amplification: Vitus S... | |
| Simaudio versus Accuphase? Harris, I heard the Serblin Ktemas in my Dealer's treated showroom 3 weeks ago paired with a Vitus RI-100. The sound was relaxed, yet dynamic, effortless, smooth and articulate. The Ktemas are good sound stagers. The latest generation of Accuphase... | |
| 1990s speaker recommendation 08-02-15: WhitecapPolk Audio SDA series. I like the SDA 1C.Those Polk SDA speakers are classic for sure, though Infinity used lighter and stiffer cone material in their drivers & used a nicer tweeter imho (Emit-R). Carrie Christie also did a s... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Wisnon, I was actually reflecting today that I should have been more generous in my praise of the Lampi dsd dacs as yes, I was aware Adam (Elberoth) who I respect owns a Big 7 Level 5. I could also be mistaken about the number of DSD titles out th... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective I have noted all your comments Agear, though again I don't believe formats usurp the mastering and recording process or for that matter the skill of the Designer of a dac. And one has to keep in mind the number of titles available on DSD is tiny i... | |
| Best speakers to buy for around $1,500 I vote for Infinity IRS Delta's which can be found under $2k. My 2nd pick would be a pair of Infinity Renaissance 90's in exceptional condition. Ren 90's sadly rarely appear in genuinely excellent, unmolested condition these days. There are too ma... | |
| 1990s speaker recommendation Finding a good pair of speakers for under $300.00 (even 20 year old speakers) is a tough call, however you could pick up a pair of used Infinity Reference 6's for about that price. The Ref 6's had the Emit-R tweeter, a dedicated mid-bass coupler &... | |
| Designer Hall of Fame I agree with the recommendation of Nelson Pass and Kevin Hayes, though objectively my other 3 Hall of Famers would be Arnie Nudell, Richard Vandersteen & Dan D'Agostino, though so many others deserve to be recognized such as Franco Serblin, An... | |
| Do Countries Have a "House" Sound Cheers Wisnon, wishing you a happy Swiss National Holiday over there :-) | |
| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre Cheers Agear, though I don't think any more or less wise than most folk here. I've been thinking of posting a thread about my experience with stillpoints, so I might post a separate thread in the tweaks section in the next day or two. |
