| EMC 1up vs. Ayon cd2 vs. Lector 6t cdp The spider clamp seemed to solidify the imaging & bass, to me.I'm not familiar with Scott Frankland & Associates.Jason Scott Distributing was the US distributor for years.They were useless.... | |
| EMC 1up vs. Ayon cd2 vs. Lector 6t cdp Dvdgreco,I'm on my second EMC-1up. I sold my first one & found one with the spider clamp, here on Audiogon.I have auditioned other current players, most notably the Ayre C5-XEmp. I still like the EMC-1up better.I haven't heard the Ayon or Lect... | |

| What stereo amp sounds better than digital monos? Sunnyjim,What I mean by truly balanced is a component that has balanced circuitry throughout the piece, like all later generation Rowland gear. An example of gear not truly balanced is the Adcom 5802 amp. It has balanced inputs, but they are just ... | |
| What stereo amp sounds better than digital monos? Sunnyjim,I would suggest you try a Rowland Model 2.I've had mine for 12 years. I can't seem to let it go.It sounds that good. You should use a truly balanced preamp with it, like an Adcom GFP750 or a Pass X1. | |
| Price of Avalon Eidolon Diamonds The last pair listed here in premium finish were priced at $16.5K. They were from a private seller, I believe.They sold (or the lsiting was pulled), in a few days.The last 2 pair listed by dealers were listed for $21K, and took longer to sell. | |
| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? I want to point out something I haven't seen mentioned yet.(Unless I missed it).Devices like this have come & gone, over the 30+ years I've been in audio.Some are hailed as "revoltionary". And always, when they become popular enough, the next ... | |
| Cello Pallete/current high end pre Stanwal,Your analogy on system synergy is right on!I constantly try to stress how important this is.Especially to "Flavor of The Month" buyers who declarea component's value after a few days in their system. | |
| XP-10 verses RLD-1 2012 Platinum Edition Rower30,I read the 6 Moons review on your amps, this morning.Your amps are single ended, but they do have "balanced"inputs. These inputs are just converted back to single ended, within the amps. That's why the RCA inputs on your amps sound better ... | |
| XP-10 verses RLD-1 2012 Platinum Edition Rower30,When you say piano can sound thin, with the XP-10 in your system, I believe the problem is a "choke point" or synergy issue in your system.Your speakers are among the best available, IMO. Your Oppois admired by many experienced members of ... | |
| Trying to build dipole sub - a la Celestion 6000 My local dealer here in Scottsdale has a pair of these subs(the complete 6000 system) on eBay right now. You have a week to watch the auction.These might go high in the eBay "Frenzy", but since you probably don't want the SL600s, you can flip them... | |
| Anyone auditioned Pass Labs XP-30 preamp? 2006slam,I see you're in Hong Kong. Can you please describe the shop you listen at? I live in Phoenix & we don't have a Pass dealer anymore. We've never had an Accuphase dealer. The C3800 must be very nice, to be compared to the top Rowland &a... | |
| High quality subwoofer - which one? Rower30,Try running your C4s full range with 1 or 2 subs running only up to 40 or 60 Hz. You should not need an external crossover. Try this and find the point where the sub(s)blend well.I'm running my Avalon Avatars with 1 James EMB-1200 like thi... | |
| Equipment you just must get if you can I want a Pass XP-30! I'll sell my XP-10 to help finance it.My XP-20 will move to my second system.All extra gear must be sold, first... | |
| Top big-name monitors current versions . Rgs92,OK. Here goes. I'm familiar with all the brands you mention.I haven't heard all their current offerings.I am partial to my Avalon Avatars. I know these aren't current, but they do everything I want in a 2 way, very well. I just can't part wi... |
