| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Daveyf, I recall walking into a room at the Chicago AXPONA show last year that was using Jadis components and immediately recognizing the realism and beauty of the sound. If you're familiar with the sound of real instruments being played in yo... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Greg,I have the Duelund CAST copper foil PIO capacitor. Fantastic for speaker crossovers and worth every penny. Charles | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi jacarcopo, I can’t speak specifically about crossover modification in the Double Impacts but I do trust Bill’s (Grannyring) listening impressions and judgement. I can tell you that in my speakers replacing the stock Solen tweeter capacitor with... | |
| looking for the best cd transport only, without dac Ronres, My good friend replaced the Lampizator Big 5 eventually with the Pandora Eclipse. I really liked the Lampizator but agree with my friend that the Pandora was more refined, harmonically richer and was more full bodied. Overall a more comple... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Bill, I know how much you enjoyed your AZ Crescendo post modification so this informs me as to how well the modified Double Impacts must sound to you. Your excellent and detailed description is a terrific guide for current and future DI owners who... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Daveyf, Congratulations! The Jadis JA 30 MK II are beautiful visually and no doubt every bit as beautiful sounding. Some say that the SR Guarneri Homage require considerable power to get the most from them. The JADIS 30 MK II provide up to 45 wa... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Bullitt,You have no more or "less" clout than any one else posting on this thread. Many contributors here and each with an individual opinion/perspective to share. There is never going to be general consensus on anything here (other than the DI... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Bullitt,I very much appreciate your time in posting listening impressions of the 3 components . The Lyngdorf 2170 definitely seems to be an excellent audio product based on both excellent engineering and implementation. Given what others have s... | |
| looking for the best cd transport only, without dac It has a memory section so it doesn’t read directly off the disc. When you remove the CD from the tray the music continues to play for another 30 to 60 seconds i.e. it’s ripped and stored then the signal ("bit perfect ") is sent to the DAC. I have... | |
| looking for the best cd transport only, without dac Ckhárbeth, Besides the PS Audio PWT another excellent sounding CD transport I’m very familiar with is the CEC TL-1. A good friend of mine had this and then purchase a used PWT after hearing one in my system. Both transports were heard in his syst... | |
| looking for the best cd transport only, without dac Hi Itzhak, You are itemizing the the different factors in CD transports which I understand. Essentially we're making the same salient point. Transports very effectively impact sonic quality and character of an audio system. For better or for worse. | |
| looking for the best cd transport only, without dac Toddverrone, I share your observation regarding "absolute " statements. Charles | |
| looking for the best cd transport only, without dac If someone wants to claim that transports have no sound of their own, fine. My listening experience in mine and other systems have demonstrated to me otherwise. As always, to each their own. Charles | |
| looking for the best cd transport only, without dac I agree with rodge827 regarding the PS Audio PWT. It is a superb sounding transport. I disagree with the idea that transports matter less than the DAC. Both components definitely influence the final sound quality. An upper tier transport will make... | |
| Linestage search Rafael, I owe you an apology. Ron Nagle reviewed the EAR 868 but not the Coincident Statement, my mistake. The Statement was reviewed by Rick Bricker who is also a reviewer for that site.Charles |
