| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? I do completely understand that individuals have their specific needs and programmability is a requirement for tommylion, no problem. I believe that Pro -Ject has probably concluded that it is a very low demand requested or utilized feature. Ch... | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? The Pro-Ject transport is marvelously good!!! The lack of CD track programmability is simply a non factor (For me). @tommylion I'd give a serious look at P.S.Audio CD/SACD transport or the Jay's Audio CDT MK III as excellent sounding alternative... | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? @erictal4075 Thanks for taking the time to report your early listening impressions with the Linear Tube Audio (LTA) power supply. You and I are using different brands of LPS but getting very similar positive results. This of course reinforces ... | |
| Matching an Amp With ARC Reference 6 and GoldenEar Triton Ones At 27 watts of class A power, the 805s will drive the Tritons okay, but I find that I’m turning the volume on the ARC preamp up in the 45-50 range to get any decent volume Keep in mind that volume control positioning may reflect a "gain" issue... | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? @erictal4075 It’s also possible that transports using the CD Pro 8 CAN be made programmable, but this option has been omitted perhaps because very few people buying premium-grade CD transports and players have asked to have it included. Program... | |
| Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3 @tweak1 Understood. Charles | |
| Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3 @tweak1 I started investigating reasonably priced transports and read the attached review of the Audiolab 6000. I found a slightly used one on Agon (at a great price): it should arrive this Thursday I believe that you’ll be happy with this... | |
| Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3 @jasonbourne52 Any cheap DVD player using digital output will send the same digital bits out to a DAC as any expensive transport. Confirmation bias increases with price! This is patently wrong. I seriously doubt that you have any actual liste... | |
| A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport @fleschler Get in touch with @wig via Audiogon email. He had the Jay's Audio CDT2 MK 3 version prior to getting the Pro-Ject RS2 transport. Charles | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier Many years ago, I built a pair of single-ended 845 monoblocks for a friend. He uses them with some old Gallo towers (remember those?) By any technical measure they shouldn't have worked--but they do, and he still uses them with great pleasure. ... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier @jbhiller Why is Jim Clark, a dealer, defending the product, but there are circuitous and scant responses from Frank Malitz, Wyred4Sound, and even Bob Carver? I questioned the build quality on certain areas, as a hobbyist. Now, it is more... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier Does 60W at 1% THD/1kHz matter when you're looking at single digit power at 1% THD above 5kHz and down in the bass? We know the rational answer Charles | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier The Carver amplifier manufacturer should simply come forward and revise their power outage specifications. Present what is accurate and factual. Charles | |
| Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 I2S pin definition @wharfy , This is my latest listening assessment at 100 hours that I sent last night to another Audiogon member and ProJect RS2 transport owner. It keeps getting better. 😊 @erictal4075d I’m just past the 100 hour burn-in point with the Fideli... | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? @erictal4075 Big boys sometimes arrive in small packages Very apropos! It so fittingly characterizes the Pro-Ject RS2 transport. You are going to cherish your LTA LPS. Patience and burn-in is all that's required. Charles |
