| Jay’s Audio CD2-Mk3 or PS Audio PST? @leog2015 I used an early generation P.S.Audio PWT for 10 years and was unfailingly happy with it. It is reliable and provided "very good" sound quality. Some listeners who've heard both the PWT and Jay's Audio CD2 MK II/III say the latter is b... | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? @acresverde @nonoise posted the correct image. That is indeed the Accustic Arts Drive II transport. Charles | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? @thyname There are so many things I cannot afford in this world. But I do NOT protest. I only look, then buy, only things I can afford. I do not consider people who own those things I cannot afford gullible, being scammed of hard earned money, ... | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? @notlistening Thanks. The comparison between the two vehicles you test drove weren't nearly as close as the two transport comparison mentioned above. Lucky for us music lovers. 😊 @erictal4075 a friend of mine recently purchased the MSB Select ... | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? Hi @disc I do not see how the Gryphon ETHOS CD player fits in this thread (As was pointed out earlier in this thread. Different type of prroduct and market segment ). Rather, I was referencing the insightful comparison of the Pro-Ject and Aqua ... | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? Ummm, my '04 VW R32 used the same engine as the base Porsche Cayenne. How did they compare in your direct A/B driving comparison? Charles | |
| Clocking: again! @antigrunge2 Thank you. Charles | |
| Clocking: again! @antigrunge2 Is the LPS superior to the SMPS wall wart strictly due to having less noise or is there more to it than that? This change in power supply seems to be universally recommended. Charles | |
| Impressions of Coincident Speakers @brownsfan I’m a bit more optimistic about you getting a satisfactory sound with the SVIIIs if you are willing to use REW measurement +1 Charles | |
| Impressions of Coincident Speakers @bradf Depending on how far the speakers are from the front wall, I sit between 10 and 12. I think currently Im sitting about 10' with the front of the speakers out 5 feet (approx) front baffle to front wall. One limiting factor is I really c... | |
| Need help choosing a new DAC @tterrapin77 Congratulations!!! You re off to a very good start given your initial listening impression. I believe that it will only improve moving forward. I do not believe that edgy/bright colorations will be an issue with the particular DAC ... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier By all accounts the Carver Crimson 275 is a very good sounding amplifier. They should have just marketed as a low-moderate power tube amplifier with high quality sound that would a terrific match with appropriate easy load impedance speakers. What... | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? 18K USD. It is quite regal and handsome. | |
