| ARC Ref phono 2 vs ASR Basis Excl 2010 It's pretty amazing you are willing to modify such a new machine. I have no desire to go that route. A reference product should be just that - the best possible right out of the box. That's especially true since the reference 2 phono is such a new... | |
| Any better DAC then dCS Scarlatti? Jonathin - I'm just re-reading the MPS-5 review. I was just wondering why the player takes so much time to break in ("months" according to Fremer)? | |
| Any better DAC then dCS Scarlatti? ClassicJazz - can you be so kind to post a mini review of all those different digital gear and compare them with each other? When you say the MPS5, dCS, and Wadio are "orthogonal" to each other, do you mean they are completely different?Would love... | |
| Good upgrade from Levinson 33H's Andy Payor from Rockport owns the 33H's. He said the Gryphon's (Antileon Signature or Colosseum) are better in every way by a a very big margin. It's pure class A as well and doubles its power all the way to 1ohm. I suspect the Pass XA.5 are supre... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge Any idea how the A90 compared to the Clearaudio Goldfinger v2? | |
| Playback Designs MPS-5 related question.... Did you audition the MPS-5 yet? If not, then it's only better in your head for now. | |
| Onkyo TX-NR807 receiver or similar - amp any good? I have the same Onkyo for HT. It is good to get by with for 2 channel stereo, depending on what your standards are. However, it's definitely leagues away from audiophile standards and I'm not trying to sound snobbish.Since I see you have Vienna Ac... | |
| Wilson Sasha , Avalon Indra or Magico V3? Rockport Ankaa's. | |
| Burmester and MBL Mura, why not the Gryphon Mirage? | |
| Your definition of soundstage Bjes -You can try the Ankaas if Aquilas are out of reach. It's quite good too! | |
| Playback Designs MPS-5 - Measerments v. Sound I just had the pleasure to audition the MPS-5 along with other fine digital sources. It was the EMM Labs XDS1, Linn Akurate DS, and my current Krell Standard MK3. An Ayre C5XE-MP will be coming soon, and hopefuly a dCS Puccini as well. To be hones... | |
| Playback Designs MPS-5 Review in Stereophile Would love to hear if someone knows the difference between the EMM Labs XDS1 and the Playback Designs MPS-5.I currently have the XDS1 auditioning in my system right now. According to EMM's website, the technology also gets rid of the traditional D... | |
| Amplifier Experience Gryphon Pass Lamm BAT If you are open to tube preamps you should also consider the Wavac pr-t1 which is a four box setup some consider the ultimate tube preamp. I have no experince it. It's probably easier for you to get as well used, since most used wavac I've seen he... | |
| Focal Scala Utopia vs Wilson Sasha? Sorry I was typing from my iPhone and the spell checker sometimes does really funny things. Naturalness is of course what I meant. That was funny though! | |
| Focal Scala Utopia vs Wilson Sasha? Cameron,I think you really need to give the Rockport Ankaa a listen. It retails for about the same price as those two speakers and I would say without a doubt outperforms both. I have listened to all those speakers you mentioned plus much more. To... |
