| tweak, do they realy bring improvement? Barry, it definitely makes sense, but when we're talking about *solid state* amps, for example, I'm not clear what level of distortion vibration may really cause, taking into account the real in-room resonance frequencies.As for optical discs, you... | |
| tweak, do they realy bring improvement? I absolutely agree with Barry - I don't get anything until I eventually get a clue how it supposed to do what it claims. For me understading adds fun, this is not about money at all. So far I couldn't find clear enough explanation how vibration ma... | |
| CD Players Getting Better? IMHO, level of refinement of the chipsets from Burr Brown and some others have indeed increased over last couple of years. However, I think it affected mostly expensive players, and I'm doubt there is a drastic progress among the budget ones. | |
| Advice.. Integrated vs Seperates - Low Budget.. Budget-wise, for the same money you get higher-end integrated then separates. One exception - if you need excessive power. For a price of my i-5 I could choose among several inexpensive separates. But in terms of sound quality, i-5 just belonged t... | |
| Which 3K CDP: Simaudio Nova, Ayre CX-7 Wadia 302 Cytocycle, that's interesting point. Warranty is not the reason why ppl choose SimAudio, the reason is sound and quality - for the money. But if they also give a good warranty, well, that's just a worthy addition. Nova is one of the best in its pr... | |
| SimAudio Moon Orbiter Universal Player My concern that it looks as it belongs to their HT product line, not the audio one. I haven't heard yet a suggestion to use their DVD player in place of their CDP... Well, that are universals... | |

| Any superb balanced dacs up to $2,500 used?? Sutts, sorry for off-topic. You mentioned that Eclipse betters Capitoles. Not often it happened to me to see a direct comparison of AA against SimAudio. Sometime before I had a dilemma of Prima against Nova, and I'm very interested to know from wh... | |
| CD Player or New Format? First check if the titles you like are available on SACD/DVD-A. That was my mistake - after purchasing an universal player I discovered that I barely have four titles on SACD I would really like to buy.And, IMHO, Larryi is right: "There are inevit... | |
| Revel M22 replacement for M20? What are sonic differences between them? | |
| Add another sub or go with F30's? So, how did this end? Had you tried B15? | |
| Dynaudio 52se - best integrated amp at low volume? Sim Audio i-5. It's punchy and energizing enough to forget the word "anemic" at all. | |
| How Revealing Should a System Be? Brucegel, you're absolutelly right. Pursuing an unachievable goal is meaningless unless one enjoys the process itself.However, it would be good to have several differently sounding systems for different types of music and listener's moods. Somethi... | |
| Importing used Audio equipment to Canada My experience of getting stuff from US (I lived in Ottawa, ON) was not always good. I was usually charged with GST 7%, customs duty 10%, and brokerage fee - kinda of unlimited. Last time I ordered several step-down transformers UPS charged me almo... |
