| I wrote/mailed tax checks today... @carlsbad The problem is that politicians, no matter what side of the aisle, fix every problem by spending more money. (I know there are a few exceptions, but very few). It is those "very few" I seek out and support. Charles | |
| Audio Research REF 80S Reviews/Comparisons @fsonicsmith Congratulations on getting your new ARC REF amplifier. You write and express yourself well. I'm looking forward to further listening impressions as you see fit.. Charles | |
| CD Transports: anything in between? @swvaaudiofan Some options in your price range. Nuprime CDT-10/Nuprime CDT Pro 8/SimAudio 260-CD (Transport only version)./Pro-Ject CD Box DS2. These models range from 900.00 to 1700.00. Charles | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @melm The Oppo looks busy because it does a lot of things. But is does NOTHING really well. I own an Oppo. The Oppo is good mid-fi. People spend thousands of dollars modifying Oppos to get them to sound really good, typically twice what the Opp... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers @fsonicsmith Hi Prof-as I have mentioned here and there previously, you are in my opinion one of the best contributors to this Board so I am glad it has been four years! 👍 Charles | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure After some more testing and prototyping, we decided to go the foam surround on the F10 Select drivers as well. Not only does it have a little more efficiency, but it also has a very nice, richer midrange than before. It's definitely an improvemen... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I know u don’t get a lot of subjective opinion at ASR but there is a lot of good info to be had over there just like here. You are certainly entitled to your opinion as much as anyone else. What is the "good information" that you feel is gained... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @lordmelton You still haven’t said if you tried Spdif or Toslink connections or plugging another USB device into the 005. My thoughts are that the other DACs you have don’t have Amanero Boards and your Super Duper Computer is incompatible with ... | |
| Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3 @jackd The CDT2 Mk3 will be paired with Spring 3 KTE or Aqua La Voce S3 while the CDT3 will be paired with the May KTE. Your cup surely " runneth over", Enjoy.. 😊 Charles | |
| Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3 @jackd I went ahead and ordered the new CDT3 Mk3 and should have it in a couple of weeks per Alvin and Victor. Congratulations!!! I am interested in your listening impressions and how it differs from your CDT2 MK III. Charles | |
| Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3 @jackd I know that delayed shipping for the Pro-Ject RS2T has been an issue for some. It seems that I was fortunate in ordering mine from Underwood Hifi. I received the RS2T 2 weeks after placing my order in November. As I've said before, IMO... | |
| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle @fuzztone You want copper not cheap hospital grade brass. Agreed 👍 "Hospital grade" is not the equivalent of the higher quality Furutech and Oyaide AC outlets suggested by @ebm and others in this thread. Material choice and level of constru... | |
| The New Western Electric WE91E 300B Integrated amp ? @larryi If you get the opportunity to hear this Western Electric 300b SET I hope you post your listening impressions. Given the extensive exposure you have with the genre of lower power tube amplifiers (SET and push pull) I’m curious as to how y... | |
| Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3 @twoleftears Phillips CDPRO-2-LF Laser DRIVE MECHANISM Straight from the website. Much attention paid to vibration isolation chassis construction. I have no doubt that this flagship CD transport from them is terrific sounding. Charles | |
| First CD player help! Just to restate, I’m not interested in streamer recs. I know all the positives, benefits, etc. Appreciate the feedback but that’s not the answer to my posed question. Regrettably an all to common occurrence on this forum. Disregard for the OP's... |
