| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Teajay,I am currently enjoying AA Tube-DAC II/Drive I Mk2 combo. Still, it is IMHO bettered in several sound aspects by my current digital reference Esoteric D-03/P-03U/G-0Rb combo.In short Esoteric is better at bass depth, speed and articulation.... | |
| Anybody else heard the Avalon Acoustics Isis? Dev,I understand you wrong regarding Isis vs Eidolon Diamond-sorry. I agree fully with you-all these speakers(Isis, MBL and Rockport) are world class without any doubt. I am sure that you are enjoying your MBLs-I respect them highly.Sydsrig,Yes, y... | |
| Anybody else heard the Avalon Acoustics Isis? Dev,I am not alone in my findings about MBLs... In fact very good friend of mine is Classical Music Piano Player(you probably heard about him but, I will keep his name for myself) and he told me that Bosendorfer on his own recording do not sound r... | |
| Anybody else heard the Avalon Acoustics Isis? Dev,Why is sound of MBLs not my cup of tea? Well, I audition them twice-both times at lenght. First was all MBL system and they sounded artificial to me. I have to say that I attend classic music concerts regulary and sorry to say but Piano on MBL... | |
| Anybody else heard the Avalon Acoustics Isis? Sirspeedy,TAD Ref One? Sure, if you like very wide baffle loudspeakers... And shortcomings that such wide front baffle is bringing... I audition it in NY Stereophile show and although impressive, its voicing is not my cup of tea. Sweet spot is pre... | |
| Anybody else heard the Avalon Acoustics Isis? Dev,Wilson Alexandria X2 and Rockport Altair. X2(now in Series 2 version) is most impressive in dynamics and room-filling sound. Although I am not big fan of Wilson house sound X2 is IMHO one of the five worlds best speakers. Rockport Altair is an... | |
| Anybody else heard the Avalon Acoustics Isis? Isis is truly SOTA loudspeaker. I like it a lot. Interesting enough I found solid-state amps to be better match with Isis then most tube amps(for example ARC REF210 did not sound right on Isis). CAT that Strapper211 use are probably best push-pull... | |
| Hansen Emperor or MBL 101E or Avalon Isis I agree with Elberoth2. Avalon Isis with Vitus SM-101/SL-100 combo would be an excellent choice IMHO.If money is not an object I would also suggest Rockport Altair speakers http://www.ultraaudio.com/twbas/twbas_20071001.htm. Regarding electronics ... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Guido,Honestly, I would like to truly love Jeff Rowland sound. New Jeff Rowland Criterion preamp(will be fully introduces on CES2008, double chassis, battery powered!) with Model 301 monos(new version with 600w/8ohms) could be very nice solution d... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view "Branimir, class D is not going to suit everyone."Muralman1, that is the truth.Interesting point that you mentioned in one of your previous posts in this thread is about power supply in Class D amps. All Class D amps that I personally audition fea... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view I agree with Elberoth2.I personally audition Jeff Rowland Model 302/Concerto Pre combo and it was not up to my liking... To my ears both Krell Evolution One/Evolution Two and ARC HD220/REF3 combos sounded better. Krell was more extended and top an... | |
| About Audio Research CD7 Burmester 001 is pretty close in overall sound to ARC REF CD7. Powerfull overall sound with good midrange presence and sweet yet detailed highs. REF CD7 is little bit more organic but, both are very good to my ears.Try to audition both in your own... | |
| About Audio Research CD7 Apopira2,Burmester 069 in new Reference CD Player. Replacement for 970/969 combo. 069 cost in EU 34K Euro.I did not hear it in the same system with REF CD7 but, 069 demo was pretty amazing...But, I did compare REF CD7 with Esoteric X-01 D2 and Eso... | |
| About Audio Research CD7 As an REF CD7 owner I find all Arthur Salvatore(and his buddy Israel Blume) findings wrong. To MY ears REF CD7 sound pretty opposite...So, Marc Mickelson from Soundstage(who bought REF CD7!), Ken Kessler and Jonathan Valin are all deaf(me also I g... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Hmm...I had a chance to audtiton Jeff Rowland Model 302 with Synergy IIi preamp and did not like it.It sounds like comparison between LCD and Plasma displays. Rowland is average LCD and very good solid state or tube amp is Pioneer Kuro HD Plasma I... |
