| Review: Resolution Audio Cantata Music Center CD Player Hey Roger,My review applies to the cd-playback function of the Cantata. In fact, I have never used the computer input ever. I guess you can say that I'm newer old school ; ) I can't express it enough, the 3.0 upgrade is phenomenal! Probably the b... | |
| Review: Resolution Audio Cantata Music Center CD Player Hey Casaross,I can pretty much say with confidence that you have the best laundry room system ever : ) My story pretty much mirrors yours. I had a GNSC statement modded Opus 21 for years. It replaced a $15K Audionote DAC and transport and sounded... | |
| Thoughts on the First Watt SIT Amps 213cobra,Good write-up! I couldn't agree more, that the SIT amps could uses a little more power and headroom. Did any of the SIT amps exhibit any noise or crackling sounds that you could hear through the loudspeakers? | |
| Thoughts on the First Watt SIT Amps Hi Vicks7,Sorry, I have responded to your post sooner. I was on vacation for few days. Audiopax was sold and distributed hear in the U.S. for a years. Jim Smith initially did a great job of promoting the Audiopax amplifiers. Unfortunately, Audiopa... | |
| Thoughts on the First Watt SIT Amps Thanks for the response. I never purchased the Audiopax amps because they had reliability and major service issues. When the folks representing a company have a hard time getting service I can only imagine what customers had to go through to get s... | |
| Thoughts on the First Watt SIT Amps Hey Chadeffect,Nice system! Do you have the basshorns with your Trios? How big is your room? I've got the Avantgarde Duo Primos, which is one model down from the Trios. At the time I purchased them, I was contemplating getting the Trios with bassh... | |
| Thoughts on the First Watt SIT Amps Chadeffect,Sorry, for not coming back and answering your question. I was out of town for couple weeks. After a few weeks, I thought this thread had disappeared. Anyway, no I do not think the SIT amp was over damped, but remember I was coming from ... | |
| Thoughts on the First Watt SIT Amps Hi,I owned the First watt SIT-2 amp for about a month. It was driving a pair of Avantgarde Duo Primo loudspeakers that are 107 db efficient. Unfortunately, an issue developed and I was forced to return it. When I initially received the SIT-2, it w... | |
| Emotiva amplifiers review/experience? I have owned the now discontinued Emotiva DMR-1 Receiver/Processor for the past three years. Prior to that, I owned an Arcam receiver. I'm very happy with the Emotiva DMR-1. It is a little more dynamic and detailed than the Arcam receiver. I would... | |
| Anyone heard Resolution Audio Cantata C-50 amp ? I've owned the GNSC Reference modded RA Opus 21 and s30 for several years. I recently purchased the RA Cantata Music center. I've heard and demoed the C-50 extensively. I did not purchase the C-50 because it did not have the second set of speaker ... | |
| Resolution Audio Opus 21 s80 Integrated Amp Hey Routeman21,I have never been a huge fan of class D amps. I admit I haven't heard all of the class D offerings, but the few that I did hear sounded dry & lifeless. Jeff Kalt from RA has avery good ears and makes very musical gear. I'm be wi... | |
| Resolution Audio Opus 21 s80 Integrated Amp Routeman21,The Yamaha A-S2000 integrated puts out 90 watts of power into 8 ohms, while according to RA's website the RA s80 is conservatively rated at 80 watts into 8 ohms. Not much of a difference. I'm not disputing what you're hearing, but why i... | |
| solid state vs tubes--with a twist Have you reviewed any of Nelson Pass' First Watt offerings? I think you would be pleasantly surprised of the sound of several of the First Watt amplifiers. Specifically, the First Watt F3 and M2 are soild-state designs that IMHO sound the closest ... | |
| Resolution Audio Opus 21 s80 Integrated Amp I owned an Opus 21 & S30 system for years and recently upgraded to the Cantata Music center and First watt M2. RA makes very musical gear that is an extremely good value. In my experience, RA amps tend to struggle a little bit driving harder l... | |
| Pass Labs amps and Avantgarde speakers Hi Mohano,I purchased the First Watt M2 about 7 weeks ago. I believe it is by far the best sounding solid-state amplifier I've ever heard with my Avantgarde loudspeakers. It is so tube-like and musical that I find myself listening for many hours a... |
