Wadia 861, Levinson 390S, or EMC1MKII Well I love my Wadias because they are so musical and have microdynamics that are so natural, that they are able to extend way beyond my dedicated room boundaries.The Wadias do need a good pc and the modes done by GnSC put them into a class that r... | |
Virtual Dynamics Nite vs New Master Series Well there is no comparison between the Nite and the Master, the nite is more forward sounding in its soundstaging.The Master on the other hand is way more relaxed in its presentation and open,it gives a very accurate midhall presentation.The dyna... | |
First Sound Presence Deluxe - Mk. 2 Owners I think the rec of the virtual dynamic is accurate,I also run VD and know that the master would eat the Elrod and the Shunyatas.I have had both and the VD gives way cleaner power with no colorations,it will take 2-3 days for the components to get ... | |
What is better?- wadia 850 OR wadia 2000 Trans+dac My friend has a highly modified 2000 that is so involving that we just listen to the music.I think the wt2000 is still a reference trans in terms of resolution(this one is moded by Steve Huntley all the way}. that transport is a monster interms of... | |
Is there a SS amp that can offer tube bliss? The Sim audio w-5 is a amp that I think is just as smooth as tubes with resolution that is the best I've heard in my room.The soundtaging is soooo massive and the midrange is palapable and real, the highs are extremely clean and extendedwithout so... | |
The Perfect Room? The perfect room is the golden cubeaziod by Cardas which is 10Hx16Wx26L. This is supposed to eliminate any standing waves down to 32hz and allow for great speaker set-up.Good luck on your addition since it is a long process(we are just finishing o... | |
Reference quality line stage? I used to own a First Sound Deluxe MKII and found that the timbre of the music to be so natural and the dynamics second were very extended.I found the tube amp to be very reliable and the build Quality first rate, also Emmanuel is a true gentleman... | |
A difference between First Sound Presence products Hi Lrsky I know exactly what you speak of, the preamp has a very serious musical ability with a shocking soundstage. I have an nos tube that competes with Emmanuels favorite tube the siemens gold pin. It is the philips 8223/e288cc special quality ... | |
A difference between First Sound Presence products I upgraded my linestage 1 to a mk11 and the difference was huge both in resolution and dynamics. I think you are better off selling a used preamp and buying a used mk11 since there is a big change between them. Please talk to the source himself(Em... | |
First Sound & Jeff Rowland I tried a friends Sim audio w-5 Moon with a MK11 and it took us totally by surprise in its soundstage. It was a match made in heaven and gave us superb imaging and dynamics. I think the world of Emmanuel Go since he checked it out for the buyer be... | |
Wadia 861 Basic Versus SE New Transport I heard a Wadia 2000s with a GNSC mode and it is a reference in detail and dynamics. So the new Wadia would be awesome in every way ( you must still mode it with GNSC if you want really hear what it can do ). I love Wadia and feel that it is the r... | |
Wadia owners - Cables - Which do you own? My friend and I say go balanced all the way, I have a Wadia 8 and 15i modified by GNSC with Aural symphonics glass and he has a Wadia 2000s and 27 also modified by GNSC. We feel strongly that Vitual Dyanamics power cords and I/c make sound that is... | |
