| Proac D30R vs Devore O93 Let me throw my hat into the arena. I currently have the D-30R andauditioned the D-20R and D-48R. The D-20R is a different animal thanthe D-30R/RS. Its leans slightly to the darker, richer side of the musicalspectrum. It excels with vocals and the... | |
| Sistrum SP101 Platforms - under floor standers I have Audio Points underneath all my gear and have the Apprentice platform underneath my Pass XA 30.8. Without a doubt they have provided some of the biggest bang for the buck results of anything I've tried over the years. I'm saving my pennies n... | |
| Best speakers for a Pass XA 30.5 I have the Pass Labs XA30.8 and I'm running a Proac D-30R. The Proac's are easy to drive and the D-20R should fit in your budget.Good luck | |
| Update on Paul Laudati of Clear Day Cable So sorry to hear the news. Condolences to his family. I have a pair of his double shotgun cables as well as a set of jumpers I use on my Proac's.One of the best buys in audio in my opinion. We need more people like Paul in this hobby. He was a gen... | |
| Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs I plug everything into the conditioner but I don't think there is a hard fast rule regarding this. I ran the amp directly into the wall and then ran it from the conditioner. I preferred it through the conditioner. As always your mileage may vary. | |
| Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs Hi Milpai,Like you I put off power conditioning as well. My original unit was a Sound Application XE 12S. A great unit that served me well but it was getting up there in age. Got a chance to grab a Synergistic Research Power Cell 12 UEF and I feel... | |
| Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs Hi Milpai,I don't think you can go wrong with either of your choices. The Esoteric (K-05X) will probably be a bit more forward sounding and detailed while the Marantz will be slightly more laid back in presentation. Not to muddy the waters but ha... | |
| Organic, musical and natural sounding speakers up to $12K I would add Proac to that list as well. The D-30RS, or if you can squeeze it in the D-48R. | |
| I'm thinking about purchasing a Luxman D-08 SACD/CD Player GreginnhHave you had a chance to compare the D-06u vs an Esoteric K-03?The D-06u is just a bit more in reach than the K-03, but I was wondering if their in the same league musically.Thanks | |
| I'm thinking about purchasing a Luxman D-08 SACD/CD Player Also check out the AudioSharks forum as well. Do a search for Luxman and you'll see the posting about it. Needless to say the guy seems prettyhappy with it.If you do get one please keep us posted. The D-08u is a lust piece for me. | |
| CD no more produced? I'm able to pick up CD's from Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Amoeba and other places. IMO CD;'s represent the best media value out there. A couple of weeks ago I picked up 3 new CD's for under $20. I'm still a fan of physical media and there is somethi... | |
| Marantz sa11 S2 - upgrade to outboard DAC? I have a Modwright Marantz SA8005 and have made some tweeks along the way to improve things. As previous posters have mentioned, fuses are a great start and relatively inexpensive. My Marantz has hard wired fuses but the Modwright PS made a nice i... | |
| Blue Circle Audio is Out of Business Sad to seem them go. Got to hear Blue Circle/JM Reynaud Offrande V2 combo at RMAF a while back. It was a great combo and really was one of the highlights of the show for me. Just wondering what happens to your Blue Circle gear now if any issues sh... | |
| PMC Speakers You may want to look at the Proac D-48R. It might tick a lot of the boxes you listed. | |
| What speakers are you running with your Pass Labs XA 30.8? Running Proac D-30R's with mine. They really work well together andits all the power I'll ever need with them. |
