| Best Speakers at RMAF 2011...? The Fletcher-Haynes "Heirloom"This is a rear horn loaded design using an 8 inch Fostex full range driver. The natural tone,transparency and dynamics were truly superb. This was the most impressive speaker at the show IMHO. At 4700 USD I thought it... | |
| Musical Fidelity Tri Vista DAC, Should I upgrade? Toby,The Modwright Sony mentioned by jwm is excellent but is`nt in your stated price range 1.5-2K. | |
| Musical Fidelity Tri Vista DAC, Should I upgrade? Toby,Your DAC has been modified so it`s hard to compare. The standard DAC is under appreciated IMO.I`ve heard it with the PS Audio PWT and the sound was quite good, natural and without digititis. You might prefer something else in the 1,500-2,000 ... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners To judge an amplifier bass on # of watts seems shortsighted. Given the design,part selection and execution of the Chalice Grail I suspect it will out perform "many" higher power Solid state amplifiers regardless of stated power rating/watts. This ... | |
| Yamamoto YDA 01 DAC Alex,You`re welcome. | |

| Are CD players dead Good points Petyofficer, I don`t have any issue at all with those who have choosen the computer audio route.Just stop preaching to the many who still enjoy/prefer CDs, Red book in a good set-up still sounds very good and is quite riliable.Best Reg... | |
| Are CD players dead I did attend the recent RMAF and could play my CDs in 80% of the rooms I visited, there were many CD players available. | |
| Yamamoto YDA 01 DAC Onemug, thanks for the kind remarks. You can research and read reviews but nothing beats an in house audition. Sometimes anticipation can lead to disappointment and I`ll admit my expectations were pretty high. It is gratifying when they are met or... | |
| Yamamoto YDA 01 DAC Update impressions of the Octave:This is an exceptionally detail retrieving DAC for sure.It presents very subtle nuances and inner/ micro information well,finger pressure on piano keys, minute voice inflections, fine differences of overtones and h... | |
| Magico Room at RAMF How good did it sound Usermanual is correct, you have to judge for yourself. Like any other product the Magico will have admirers and also detractors. They don`t impress me at all, but you may find them fantastic.Horses for courses. |
