| SET Shootout China VS The USA I believe that Shuguang and Psvane are two seperate entities with their own seperate manufacturing facilities. Psvane initially derived from Shuguang but is today independent . Charles | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier @mwjones At the end of the day, I have yet to see anyone on any forum say the amp does not sound fantastic. While it’s tough to see what may have happened, isn’t that why we do what we do in our spare time? Two separate issues here. 1, Sound ... | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? @erictal4075 Your premise regarding static electricity makes sense given the very low humidity/dry heating circumstances and resolution of the problem using the anti static device. Charles | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? @theburbster1 I would also be interested to hear what difference your LPS makes Hi I'll post my listening impressions of wall wart power versus LPS differences (Or lack of) via the Pro-Ject CD Box RS2T.

| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? @erictal4075 Hi, Fidelizer Nikola 2 is just a direct plug in LPS to use into the RS2T in place of the supplied wall wart. No different than if I used Pro-Ject's own optional LPS in place of their wall wart. Virtually everyone who's tried a LPS ... | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? @theburbster1 The Gryphon Ethos is a complete CD player. What would be another interesting comparison is the Aqua La Diva M2 and the Accustic Arts Drive II. This is a dedicated CD transport that incorporates the CD Pro-8 drive unit and retails f... | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? @theburbster1 This is exactly what is of value, a "direct" comparison between the Pro-Ject RS2 and the Aqua Hifi La Diva M2 in the same audio system. And granted even then it’s one listener’s opinion but that’s okay. We know by its very nature i... | |
| Impressions of Coincident Speakers @brownsfan I might question the designer’s business model but never his ears. There is not a single piece of Coincident gear that I have heard that is not true to tone. That includes the electronics. At best, coincident gear is capable of subli... | |
| Impressions of Coincident Speakers @prof No problem I understand, you have to use whatever criteria you're most comfortable with. The Coincident Total Eclipse II I own simply sound splendid and that's kept me thrilled for over 12 years. So for me actually listening has been the... | |
| Impressions of Coincident Speakers I don’t know if the designer has upped his game since then. Yes he has upped his game considerably from those early years (circa 1996) . Ironically Recent and current generation Coincident speakers are admired for their relatively minimal color... | |
| dCS Bartok DAC - Interesting Video Review melm, "Given what’s available in the marketplace can a DAC, even with a built in streamer, be worth that kind of money?" To some Yes, because "value" is determined by the individual @ricred1 Agreed! I admire and appreciate open honesty of... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier Hello everyone, In our three labs, we all get around 75 watts @ 1% or less, 90 @ 2%, etc. From Jordon Gerber, ex-partner, degreed physicist and co-founder: The units are about 75 to 90 watts depending on the measurement technique. . I kept a r... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier Frank Malik (owner of Carver Corp) said he will provide responses to some of the questions raised in the forums about the amp. And so we wait I hope he follows through and clearly explains the method for how the amplifier rated a 75 watt output... | |
| Impressions of Coincident Speakers Hi Bill (@brownsfan) I'm glad you chimed in with your always intelligent, thoughtful and insightful perspective. It's always appreciated. Charles | |
| Impressions of Coincident Speakers @bradf Even thought this speaker has the cabinet and electronic design, component type (Ribbon Tweeter) and quality, and the sonic attributes that I look for in a speaker, it s application in my room is questionable. While not being able to aud... |
