| My last audio purchase? Congratulations to both @islandmandan and @roxy54 . Charles | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i If one can purchase a legitimately backed extended 3 year warranty for 160.00 USD this is good news and reassuring. It seems that from reviews and word of mouth the Willsenton amplifiers are a quality built product. I find it very interesting t... | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i @roxy54 The First Watt F7 should very likely be a much better match for your horn speakers compared to the Pass Lab 250.5. Intuitively the 250.5 does not seem a good match for a horn speaker. I'm curious as to how you find the F7 compared to a h... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @dlcockrum Thanks for providing that link. As a non Nenuphar owner I confess that I have much admiration and respect for this speaker. It seems to nail all of the criteria and parameters that I find most important, even mandatory. I remain exce... | |
| What’s the deal with high end CD transports not having the ability to program tracks!? @robshaw can anyone suggest a good linear power supply if I choose to go with the Project RS2T? Thanks Robert TN Ouite a few seem to be very happy with Pro-Ject's own LPS option or the LTA (Linear Tube Audio) LPS. I'm using the Fidelizer Niko... | |
| What’s the deal with high end CD transports not having the ability to program tracks!? @petg60 But i guess somebody buys a transport in first place for sound quality. Yes, you’d think that by far this is the major consideration for an “audio “ component. However it’s apparent that some specific features matter to some people.... | |
| ARC Reference 6 or Cary SLP 05 with upgrade? @markmuse Congratulations! You have to choose what best fits your specific needs and circumstances. I hope you find the time to post your listening impressions of your ARC Reference 6SE. Charles | |
| What’s the deal with high end CD transports not having the ability to program tracks!? don't think the high cost of these transports are worth it. You don't get much??? You are of course entitled to your opinion. Many happy owners of the Pro-Ject RS2T and Jay's Audio CDT transports would beg to differ.The very high quality sound... | |
| ARC Reference 6 or Cary SLP 05 with upgrade? Even the 12 db gain of the REF 6SE is very likely far more than is needed with a high output DAC. | |
| New PrimaLuna versus used Audio Research preamp? “the LS series is sterile and SS-like.” This is why many make the distinction between the LS and Reference series of ARC line stages. They aren’t one and the same. | |
| ARC Reference 6 or Cary SLP 05 with upgrade? @markmuse ARC REF 6SE Balanced =12 db of gain. Single Ended= 6 db of gain. | |
| ARC Reference 6 or Cary SLP 05 with upgrade? Excess audio system gain is something that needs to be factored in. A high output DAC coupled with a high gain preamp (And higher sensitivity speakers) can result is a very limited functional range of use for volume control. Charles | |
| pro-ject cd box rs2 vs jays audio cd2 mk3 @robshaw I think that from your narrowed down list of the 3 CD transports you’d have been very satisfied. No dog in this trio. Pro-Ject’s design mission for their “Box” components is small/compact and space saving. Made from aluminum and carbon ... | |
| ARC Reference 6 or Cary SLP 05 with upgrade? @markmuse I agree that both preamplifiers are can't lose propositions. The Cary has several particular intriguing aspects. 1 A separate high quality robust power supply. 2 Utilization of the terrific 6SN7 which provides far more choices than ... | |
| Definitely a good listen @nomoise, Technics certainly has the resources and talent pool to get it right when they commit to the task. Based on your listening descriptions, they hit this one out of the park! Glad to know that you have found a very satisfying long term sol... |
