Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
Audio_girl, speaking of uncalled for remarks, you might take a look at yours. While I had a _slight_ preference for the modded DV-50 based upon limited listening well off center, that's what it was - slight. I could happily live with any of the th... 
Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
I wasn't accusing anyone and apologize if it sounded that way. It might have been put in another CD case accidentally. I looked around, but you never know, it might turn up.Brian 
Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
By the way, my Nils Lofgren CD seems to be missing :-(Please look through your CD cases and players just in case. I offer a reward for its return.Brian 
Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
Gee, Tom, did I say that? I was sitting way off to the side, although I found the DV-50 a bit more musical and involving than the APL although the Modwright did very well in these areas, while the APL and DV-50 had more detail and tighter bass. I'... 
Will the new C.A.T. LEGEND be the ultimate preamp?
A little FYI. My friend is the CAT dealer in the Chicago area and has the SL1 Ultimate preamp and JL2 amp. At some point I imagine the Legend preamp may be on hand. Anyone wanting more information, please contact me. Disclaimer: I'm a dealer for o... 
Anybody heard Reimer Teton speakers?
Kjl, I heard the Reimer Tetons at the show in the system described by Geoffkait and agree they have good bass. I can't really say I heard them at their best since one of the midrange drivers was soldered in the day before the show opened, which di... 
Kharma 3.2 to MidiGrand Upgade???
Sirspeedy, I surely couldn't agree more with you about Kirk and Donna Bodinet, husband and wife team who own and do everything at SOTA. Super people, very friendly and professional, with a genuine can-do attitude. Living in the Chicago area and ha... 
Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
Well, the gang just left. Jayctoy, 711smilin, Tgun5 and a couple others (Tgun5's sister and Eric, another local enthusiast) showed up and we listened to Jayctoy's Modwright Sony 9000es, 711smilin's APL Denon 3910, and Tgun5's modded DV50 with the ...

Hi 711, I sent you the directions a little while ago. Don't bother with a switchbox.Brian 
power amplifiers with ICEpower module
Fiddler, I heard what I heard, and you don't have to agree. But your "sooooo predictable" jab "won't hunt" as you say. I didn't say what I heard, so as not to take prisoners. You want to know what the system was? Email me. If you think expressing ... 
power amplifiers with ICEpower module
Muralman, I anticipate hearing one soon and will reserve judgment till then, but my post stands. Meanwhile, it surely seems any time ICEpower and H2O are mentioned, you are quick to wax poetic about the latter. Do you have any interest in H2O othe... 
power amplifiers with ICEpower module
Dazzdax, you described some of what others are hearing, although some report the $15k Rowland 300 series may not have these drawbacks. Other amps using the ICEpower modules have tended to lacked life, dynamics, weight and immediacy in my experienc... 
Parasound JC-1 Questions
I didn't get the Mothra power plant and tailings ponds with them, either, Bob. Of course any good dealer (can you name one?) would provide red and blue lava lamps and configure them for the left and right channels so you would know whether you are... 
Parasound JC-1 Questions
Yours for the asking! :-) Go to the Products page on my website (my username(dot)com ) and click the "Click here" link near the top of the page for a view of the amps and speakers...I'll get around to the front end photos one of these days.Brian 
Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
Hi Bon, it's great to hear you'll be able to make it! 3pm or so is fine, as we'll be playing around long past then.I should ask the rest of you who haven't yet confirmed with me that you'll attend to please do so by noon on Friday that you will at...
