| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? @erictal4075 I’m just past the 100 hour burn-in point with the Fidelizer Nikola 2 LPS. It is obviously evolving and continuing to improve its sound quality. Take what I wrote in my last post (50 hours) and honestly add an additional 10% improvem... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @stephendunn This should be interesting Indeed! As always I'm looking forward to your listening impressions. This should be quite informative. Charles | |
| SET Shootout China VS The USA @larryi There are no absolutes. I don’t understand what appears to be a compulsion to declare one thing the best Agree 100% We like what we like, it's absolutely personal. Proclamations just don't apply to audio and music listening experie... | |
| Wadax Reference Dac and Reference Server--arrived in my room. Hi Mike, Congratulations! I’ve been following your Wadax thread on WBF and it has (As expected) generated much insightful and lively commentary. As you’ve noted response on this forum can quite certainly be a mixed bag when discussing the ultra H... | |
| Soundstage depth how to improve? Shootout @sns Once you get your system to sound like flesh and blood performers in room chances are you'll love being closer to performers. The fact you need them to be at distance from you is sign of something amiss. Your new amp and pre are higher res... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier I’m bothered by the view point that we should just gloss over the big covers over little 15w trannies or it making less than 25% of what its advertised to make because a few can still enjoy it with super efficient speakers in little rooms. Who... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier can o worms is right holy moly Yep! ASR crowd will tear this apart. Charles | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? @erictal4075 This is what I'd call a "win-win" situation all around Yes! Excellent baseline can be further improved. Charles | |
| Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 I2S pin definition @wharfy I've have about 50 hours on my Fidelizer Nikola 2 LPS (Manufacturer said 200 hours for complete burn-in). Directly out of the shipping box with the initial listening exposure a few things were apparent within the first few hours and hav... | |

| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? An i2s HDMI port seems to be logically the next best additional digital-out option made available, but perhaps because 1), there IS no standard configuration for i2s HDMI ports, and 2), because so many of the i2s ports that ARE included on CD tra... | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? @nonoise Be optimistic. The 2 transport comparison review a few days ago by @theburbster1 confirms the stellar performance of the affordable Pro-Ject transport and its high value proposition. All he described was with the wall wart to boot. I ... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier @jbhiller The takeaway was supposed to be.... Why use Suntan at $.80 a cap? Could they not use a better quality cap? I mean what are you saving by using it versus a Wima or Vishay? $5-10 per amp? Fair and intelligent question , ×hat are yo... | |
| Jay’s Audio CD2-Mk3 or PS Audio PST? @leog2015 @fuzztone is correct. The Jay's Audio CDT2 MK III uses the discontinued Phillips Pro-2 CD drive mechanism (And to their credit they have stocked up on replacement units). The Pro-Ject CD BOX RS2 uses the latest Stream Unlimited CD Pro... | |
