| Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 I2S pin definition @wharfy Gerry Mulligan "Night Lights"-A great sounding CD. My partner was listening to it and said the sound reminded her of a great cheesecake-rich textures and complexity. I’m a big GM fan and just ordered this one. And the accompanists are a... | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? @lalitk I am sure RS2 offers great value and performance. And it’s performance can be further enhanced and appreciated by the associated DAC’s….and folks, when it comes to DAC, sky is the limit in terms of performance and price. That is preci... | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? My goodness! I returned to this thread this morning and what in the world has happened in the interim? I was looking forward to further insightful discussion about the implementation of the excellent Stream Unlimited CD Pro-8 drive into various ... | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? @mahler123 Inequality will always be with us. Even societies that attempted to force equality at the point of a gun had elites. At some point you have to look at the stuff that you have, ask if it makes you happy, and if the answer is yes, st... | |
| SET Shootout China VS The USA @mozartfan Discovery and exploration is fun.😊 Another 8 series tube is the 805. An accessible and affordable example is the Line Magnetic 805ia/ 508ia which 48 watts of pure class A SET. Those who have heard or owned it say it’s wonderful sound... | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? @erictal4075 Thank you. I feel that you and I just want fellow Audiogon members (Who still enjoy Redbook CD playback) to be aware of this affordable and "marvelous sounding" transport. True High End audio performance and refreshingly obtainable... | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? Seriously? What is the point of buying a Porsche when you could buy a Volkswagen. A worn out cliche and stale default analogy. The transports under discussion share the essential and functioning guts that’s fundamental to excellent Redbook CD p... | |
| Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 I2S pin definition @wharfy It's good to hear that the Pro-Ject is working out so well for you (Not that I'm surprised). Did you have the chance to listen to any of the CDs I suggested awhile back? Curious if you liked in particular ,Gerry Mulligan "Night Lights... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure V1 or V2? Still a great speaker either way. Agreed, and I strongly believe that preference is dictated by associated audio system components and the signature or voicing sought by the listener. A First Watt F5 amplifier owner may prefer one, a... | |
| Class A into Class AB @boomerbillone Now you know why people love their 8 watt, Class A, 300B tube amps! An occasional distorted, 10 watt peak isn't much to worry about if you normally listen at one half of a watt! Happy Listening True, and depending on the spea... | |
| Where should the vocal image be? @ozzy62 As a matter of fact, Reference 3a speakers need to fire directly into the room. Anything more than a minute amount of toe in ruins the tonal balance. And this is by design. So even though soundstage depth may be enhanced by severe t... | |
| Elrog 300b vs we300b @sns Do you find that even reliable budget 300b tubes (gold lions, linlai black plates) sound as good as ’premium’/more expensive 300b tubes? WE, Elrog, TAK, ELS etc? I can’t speak for @sns but based on my listening experiences the answer is n... | |
| Elrog 300b vs we300b Okay I see, was not aware of these specific Elrog 300b tubes. I owned the standard/original Elrog 300b. Charles | |
| In Classical music the effect of SQ on appreciation @ghdprentice Thanks for sharing that experience. Charles | |
| Elrog 300b vs we300b I would say that any 300B tube made with Molybdenum would be far ahead of those mentioned here. As far as I know only Elrog makes them Not sure how you reached that conclusion. As I mentioned above I owned the Elrog 300b. It is an excellent ... |
