| LP storage? What do you use? The Ikea Expedit, while being no frills, is plenty sturdy enough and a huge value. The 6'x6' one holds at least 1500 records, which works out to ten cents per record.Brian | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Tvad, of course you're right, big grains of salt all around. Listening to something in your own system is the ultimate test. This so called shootout can't be definitive as to which is best, although we're doing our best to keep things relatively o... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Avguru, 711smilin just called to say he plans to make it, so perhaps you were thinking of someone else...anyway, we are ON for Saturday... Mark, hope you can make it over sometime for a listen...give me a call sometime, as would love to chat. I'll... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Sheesh! When can everyone make it? Puh-leeze email me or call me, folks, with the dates you have open - weekends are much preferred, but please keep in mind some flexibility is needed for customer auditions... I realize not everyone may be able to... | |
| Soundlab speakers: Castors or Tiptoes? John, the casters offered by Sound Lab are not locking. I suggest the tiptoes. Aluminum is the best for concrete floors.Brian | |

| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Dbld, how many contenders do you suggest? We've hashed this out a bit but your thoughts are appreciated.Brian | |
| Atma-sphere M60 II.3-Any good for 4 ohm speaker? The Atma-Sphere M60 can be ordered in any of the three styles Trelja describes. The Rendition Audio M60 looks pretty much the same, one exception being the meter which functions as a VU meter on the Rendition.Brian | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Tom, the wine sounds like a good idea for later on, after the rigorous comparisons are done and people just want to listen.I don't allow smoking in the house, although people are free to step outside. | |
| Atma-sphere M60 II.3-Any good for 4 ohm speaker? 711smilin, I might be the guy you should be talkin' to :-)Brian | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Sammie, I'm basically with you as far as what beverages should and shouldn't be consumed at the shootout, but keep in mind it's not a court trial or something really serious - it's just audio. If someone wants to have a beer or glass of wine that'... | |
| RTR electrstatic speakers I believe the WAMMs use them, or used to. | |
| Cool Amps Needed for Eggleston Savoy's Eric, I'm sure the Savoys love amps with muscle, as the Andras do. If you place high priority on cool operation, the Rowlands might be one of your few choices. I think the 301 monoblocks are $15K each.Another option might be to provide more ventil... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Beer? Seriously, Tom, you're welcome to join us. As soon as everyone lets me know when they can make it, date and time, along with what they'd like to demo, I'll post the info.Brian | |
