| DCS Scarlati v Esoteric P-01,D-01 Yes, it would be interesting to know how they compare sound wise. Hearsay, (from neutral people in the trade) is that they are as competitively popular and selling equally well to those seeking the SOTA in digital playback system today.Maybe, let ... | |
| Audio Research Ref: CD8 Probably feel the need to match up with WPs numberings 7-8-? to stay in the game.. =) | |
| 2-way speaker with best bass Debates on MiniII vs V3 has been a long and endless one in other forums, imo, they are both excellent speakers. Speaking of bass, yes, the V3 may slightly outdo the MiniII in terms of punch and overall ability to drive bigger rooms, but in pitch a... | |
| 2-way speaker with best bass Here's my votes..- Magico Mini II- Kharma 3.2 FE..But please not limit judgement of these two exclusively to their bass performance (which is 'superb' by any measure). As they are also a standard-setting examples of what best 2-way transducers are... | |
| Verity Parsifal or Magico V3 or Wilson Benesch ACT Magico V3! But as mentioned in post above, will take slightly more than 50-100watts (I would say a minimum of 150 'quality' watts), to do them justice and fully extract their mesmerizing capabilities..However, as all three are serious contenders, ... | |

| DCS Puccini and/or Soulution 740 players? Anyone?? Teddy_Bear, my apology.. Did you also tested vice versa? Maybe the SDR4000 was more at home (better synergy) mating their own gears?Just curious cause I'm now in the market looking to upgrade current player. Got recommendation from AVguide to go S... | |
| DCS Puccini and/or Soulution 740 players? Anyone?? Interesting.. Comparing two units in two totally different set-ups? Might be other variants at play? ..Speakers? | |
| Life without a remote Yes, I too would choose sound quality over convenience when cornered. Once did forgo the convenience of my remote controllable REF3 for one without based solely on sound. However, given the choice (in this world full of it), will relentlessly sear... | |
| Life without a remote Life without a remote....is akin to leaving home without cellphone nowadays. While you can certainly 'adjust' to live without it, why deprive from the comfort and convenience of having one? | |

But should you happen to come around, I'll be more than happy to have you. Can also show you few other spectacular set-ups here.Thanks for link re Essential, will ... | |
| Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which? Hi Dgob,15yrs ago when purchasing my FM611, I was actually meant to pair them with an FM266. I didn't, at that particular point of time cos I honestly thought the 266 were 'bad' (for the $$$)--although open, fast, transparent, excellent micro-macr... | |
| Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which? If VTL REF7.5 or ARC REF3 serves any reference here, I can confidently say that even basic offering from FM Acoustics, their FM245, eclipses them both. In the two separate instances of home demos I experienced where REF3s were replaced, each audit... |
