| I have four B&W 801's, two 603's and a B&W center classe and b&w are a marriage made in heaven. I'm sure there others (I have 805's and run with a pioneer elite HT receiver but can't compare to the sound I heard with the classes. | |
| best 5.1 reciever???? I secont the Pioneer (I have an Elite). Very nice for my HT. | |
| Best speaker under 1k in combo w/ OUTLAW RR2150 Give the B&W 685's a listen ($600 w/o stands). | |
| Jacintha, anyone??? I actually enjoy Goes To Hollywood (SACD). Que Sera Sera has become a test track for me. Jacintha has become one of my favorite female vocalists and I enjoy all her albums. Her recordings are all excellently recorded as well. Some of the best reco... | |
| Grading Used Lps: What to look for? Other than the used vinyl I have purchased here on audiogon (they rate very good and, to me, it's mint), all I have purchased (used) has been a disapointment. My (new) rule is only audiophiles know how to grade vinyl. | |
| What is your dream turntable? I have dreamed of the walker but have a huge bug for a Brinkman. Heard it at the HT show in NYC a few yers ago and I still can hear Moon River (Jacintha) like she's right here. | |

| Transporter vs Ayre CX-7e Thanks. I'm not asking you to believe me on the break in, I was just sharing my experience. I do understand break in time can be system dependent. The Esoteric works really well in my system and I am eying the Ayre MXR amps. I have auditioned them... | |
| Newbe PC audio Appreciate the input. | |
| Transporter vs Ayre CX-7e Mtdking, Below is ypur post from March, 08. What happened to change your mind?Boy if you can stretch to around $6000 yo can get a Esoteric X-01 used. I think that is one of the very best players made. We know it has the best transport. | |
| Transporter vs Ayre CX-7e Mtdking, did you have the esoteric hooked up with balanced IC's? What power cord and interconnects were you using? | |
| Transporter vs Ayre CX-7e Trust me. It was 1,200 hours. I kid you not. All posted here on audiogon. I wish it wasn't true. And a thousand hours is 41 days, not a year.Listening to it (X03-SE) after the 1,200 hours, I gotta say, it was worth it. Best digital I (me, my ears)... | |
| Transporter vs Ayre CX-7e That's the first I have heard of the esoteric sounding soft. It does need considerabe break in time (over 1000 hours, believe it or not). Did you give it that much time? | |
| Newbe PC audio Steven,My biggest issue with going from USB to firewire were dropouts. I tried the utrends usb to spdif into MF Dac 3 and had dropouts (using J River/flac. vista, asio4all, high performance PC, Cayin A50T and B&W 685 speakers, Nordost cables).... | |
| Transporter vs Ayre CX-7e I had not listened to hi res files on the transport. The system I listened to the Ayer 5/7 and Esoterics in was yre preamp (not expensive, about $3,000); Ayre MXR amps (awesome amps) and speakers were the Dynaudio Saphire's. The system I head the ... |
