| Attention Esoteric CD/SACD Players Owners @jafant I own a Esoteric DV60. More than impressed with the SQ of this model. I use the DV60 for audio only, where it shines on Redbook or SACD playback. | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer There are a lot of brick and mortar stores dealing in high end that can keep the doors open solely due to their McIntosh sales…and are therefore able to offer more esoteric gear as a benefit, even if these lines sell to a fraction of McIntosh. To ... | |
| Attention Esoteric CD/SACD Players Owners @jafant Excellent player. If you get a chance, the new Graceline cable from Black Cat cable, or the Zenwave cables from Dave are a superb match up with Esoteric Digital gear. | |
| Black Cat 3232 Speaker cable? Chris at Black Cat makes some great cables. I think you would be pleased with 3232. Also, check out his Graceline cables if you really want to be amazed. | |
| Customer Service Experience with REL I had to replace my amp section in my older T5 and the service was exemplary. The phone rep sent me instructions as to how to remove the amp module ( which was fairly easy) and the whole experience was smooth and painless. I think REL service is v... | |
| Opus 3. Reference recordings 'Depth of Image' is one of my go to recordings when I want to do a demo. It is, even to this day, very hard to better and a superb recording. I have a few favorites in the catalog, which has a pretty wide variety as to the type of music, some of w... | |
| Jeff Rowland Continuum Amp Hum Maybe a bit off topic, but I asked Jeff about the hum that has always been associated with my amp, a model 8T, when he did the updates. Jeff seems to think that hum isn't really a big deal! While it's true that one cannot hear the hum from the lis... | |
| Svs, Rel, or ?. For music, I would only go for the REL T5i. | |
| component grounding Maybe a better question to ask instead of what's the harm if nobody has been killed or harmed yet due to the ungrounded gear in their possession...would be why not take the high road ( ground..pun) and ground all gear? Thereby eliminating the one ... | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock OTOH, could it be possible that the amp discussed on the ASR forum is in fact a fake?? Or that the issues about safety are not in fact part of the design at all...and are not a factor...?? Only real way to know is for Carver, or one of his employe... | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock Reading the article posted on ASR would indicate that this amp is really a POS..particularly for the money asked… But it would be more acceptable if it was advertised as a 15 watt amp with a design by Carver at a more appropriate price to its qua... | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock @jbhiller So Bob offers a full refund to consumers of his product. This seems quite strange to me..as IF there is a safety hazard should he not be requiring all units in the field be recalled and corrected?? If there is no issue, why offer a ref... | |
| dumb down an LP-12 Nice choice of table. Unfortunately, in order to get the best out of your Linn, it needs to be set up correctly. This table is not an unbox it and drop it in solution. I would suggest that you find a Linn dealer who can set up the table for you.... | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock @raysmtb1 What Bob did to deserve the attention is apparently exactly what he failed to do...oversee a product that has his name on it and could very well prove to be deadly to the consumer. This has not happened so far, at least that we are awar... | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock Perhaps in the electronics industry there is a thinking that so long as no harm has occurred then no foul. This is common ( unbelievably enough) in a number of industries and occupations...and only luck has caused no immense damage, or death! Path... |
