| the best CD player between 6'000 - 10'000 $ ? Just because the Playback Designs designer left Emm doesn't mean he's following Emm. Perhaps he's now free to design without restriction.Dave | |
| the best CD player between 6'000 - 10'000 $ ? Playback Designs if you like accurate musicality. ;-) | |
| Review: Playback Designs MPS-5 CD Player Mtkhl567, I agree with you. I was treading on eggshells because I listened to the Emm in an unfamiliar system, with some weird imaging tendancies and I allowed the limited listening to veer too much toward out of phase stuff like Dark Side of the ... | |
| the best CD player between 6'000 - 10'000 $ ? The Playback Designs MPS-5 fill all your needs. There are reviews here on A'gon and Positive Feedback just published a review.Dave | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks for getting back Raul. Did you try the SS moving iron. | |
| Holographic imaging I think Tvad nailed it, there are two camps. Mapman can go on and on about the advantages of whatever we're talking about, but he'll never convince those of us in Camp 1, me included, that what he's proposing is desired in our systems. Likewise, C... | |
| Holographic imaging Mapman, many of us associate holography with out-of-phase signals. Dark Side of the Moon and I Robot and Radiohead didn't get those huge images by accurately recording a performance in a real space. That's all done with signal manipulation. Carver... | |
| How much power is to much power? Hah!!! Very funny exchange guys. That was very entertaining for me. | |
| Holographic imaging I think that bloom is a natural event that occurs in real, acoustic music. Some might call it "air" but to me it's the overtones and ambiance of a live music scene or event. So a trumpet player plays a ringing high C, there's a "brrr" of the bell ... | |
| Holographic imaging In my experience, there's very little difference in the holographic abilities of tubes vs. SS. Listen for yourself and decide for yourself without regard to one technology vs. the other. Listen for the overall presentation, with your speakers, pre... | |
| Playback Designs MPS-5 CD/SACD Player Thanks, that very good information Radioheadokplayer. I hope you don't mind if I link the Asylum over to your comments here. I suspect that your findings are in line with what David Robinson will report when he gets around to comparing to the Mara... | |
| Holographic imaging Mapman, thanks for your further thoughts. That makes more sense to me now.DAve | |
| Playback Designs MPS-5 CD/SACD Player Lula, I have little doubt that PF will ultimately post a follow up addressing your question. It's his style to start with a Preliminary Impression and then come forth with further details. He said very little about RBCD performance, which I consid... | |
| Holographic imaging Mapman, what horns have you heard that are omni-like? I find that very surprising.Dave | |
| Dynaudio Cont.S5.4, Vienna A.Strauss or La Folia I'd vote for the Strauss with Rowland electronics. This is a great combination with tons of musicality and transparency. Most of the VA speakers demand a relatively strong amp to show their best.Dave |
