| Another sign SACD is dying Jadem6, your post appears to be based upon what you own rather than facts. That's OK, as long as you recognize it."If vinyl, SACD, DVD-A die, we audiophiles will die too."Says whom? Formats come and go. Minidisc and Elcaset are two. The death of v... | |
| help hooking up electrostatics 2 sets at a time You might ask Jeff Rowland. The Model 5 was his first stereo amp, while his original 350 watt Model 7 monoblocks were used with Sound Lab A-1s. You can try the Model 5, but I don't know if it will be a good long term solution driving two pairs of ... | |
| Edge Sig 1 Preamp - Anyone have it or heard it ??? Dave, since I gather you're in Naperville you might want to visit Music Direct in Chicago, who is an Edge dealer, although it's unknown whether they have that unit on hand...If you are curious to hear a CTC Blowtorch, I'm just up the road from you... | |
| Outstanding Drum Performances The Sheffield Drum Record is very good. My reference is a CD-R called Drum Improvs done by a guy in St. Louis a few years ago recorded live to hard disk of himself playing a huge drum set. It's not perfect but is far more dynamic than any other dr... | |
| Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there? Gee, Iujona, I haven't. But then I'm the Chicago area and know how I like to be treated, having been a customer for many years before crossing over to the dark side :-) | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE The Summits sounded good at RMAF. I heard the Denalis in Denver Sunday night after RMAF was over. Impressive dynamics. They're $65k, not $40k. | |
| My oh my....guys check this out It's no hoax, it's the real deal. As others noted, Bruce demonstrated it at RMAF. The price is not out of line for what it does, and the design is technically sound (pun intended).Brian | |
| REALITY CABLES ? Bluemike, the cables you mentioned are vastly different from each other, so I don't understand your comments. Further, since you didn't describe the system(s) in which the cables were compared, there is no frame of reference. | |
| Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there? Iujona, why would you have to spend $60k to try some of the players suggested? I wouldn't expect to have to buy a car just to take a test drive. Perhaps some dealers in NYC where you are charge a fee for a home audition, but that's entirely differ... | |
| New scam on the internet???? Paypal is well aware of this kind of scam and has pages on its website that discuss it. An important thing to look for in such emails is that actual emails from Paypal always open with "Dear (your name)", not "Dear Paypal User" or "Dear Paypal Sub... | |
| Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there? Kennyt, if I had to choose between the EMM and the dCS, I would agree, but fortunately there are others available, and to my ear and others' the Reimyo is superior to both, being much more analog sounding and involving. Disclaimer - I sell the lat... | |
| Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there? Iujona, visit or call your local dealers. They should let you try the stuff at home if you ask, and if they won't, don't do business with them. I say this as a longtime audiophile first and a dealer second. I sell what I find to be best, but you m... | |
| Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there? Please search the archived messages here. This topic has been covered many times, with no clear consensus. I urge you to audition several in your own system and trust your ears, not what you might read online. | |
| What is your comfort level? Uru975: Great post! More people should listen with their ears, not with their pocketbooks or what they read. When you hear what you can't live without and can get it, it's nice to get off the bus and enjoy the music.Brian | |
| How many types.. Do you mean brands?Atma-SphereJoule ElectraTenor (they went out of business, not sure if they're back)Berning (a point of contention since some claim it's not a true OTL)There are several others by companies that are defunct.Brian |
