| Speakers for Simaudio Moon I-5 Try it with Revels... | |
| Redbook layer on SACD - good enough? What about Aroc's comment:"The cd pickup (780 nm) would have to read through the transparent layer designed for the 650 nm SACD pickup"? No matter what, SACD layer cannot affect focusing, whatever, of CD layer? | |
| AZ Matrix Ref Mk II vs. Mk I? On some stage AZ changed RCA conectors from their own to WBT. Do you know when it happened and on what Mark I or II? | |
| 1x Oversampling Thanks Budrew. If so, the statement "SimAudio Nova in my living room system sounds sterile, bleached and artificial" is generally just a perception of solid state sound of Nova versus the tubed sound? That's good, I still may love my Nova! ;)Howev... | |
| 1x Oversampling Are you sure that it's all just due to "zero over/upsampling", and not overall design? Some years ago there was no digital frontends with upsampling available, so they were supposed to sound better just because of that? | |
| Universal Players. Marantz 8400 vs.Denon 5900 It was the last TAS...Being Simaudio fan now, I enjoyed the comment about Equinox, which is the smallest one in their range | |
| Universal Players. Marantz 8400 vs.Denon 5900 I had 8400 for some time, and got rid of it as soon as it was possible, its redbook was just unacceptable for me. Very dark, closed, caramel coated and quite artificial sound. I realize that this is a matter of taste, I just like open and neutral.... | |
| Shanling CDT100 vs T200 for red book CD's??? HDCD is a good option IMO, unless you've got Simaudio Eclipse... | |
| Moon Nova or Eclipse? Agree with Jlamb about "waste of time", dealer really loves money :) My dealer told me that Nova is generally the same circuitry as in Eclipse, but not balanced, and with internal power supply (ok, ok, plastic tray). I run i-5 with Nova about two ... | |
| Very best in world music - recommendations? Thanks guys,.. just... while most of the world music is good, I'm looking for rare recordings (yes, digital) that could be considered as 'excellent' among those good ones. | |
| Help with Denon 2900/5900 or MarantzDV8400 or ? I had Marantz DV8400 for a week, and was quite disappointed with its redbook performance, even though I read it betters Denon 2900 (haven't a chance to check it myself, though). I'm doubt that currently there are universal players in DV8400 price ... | |
| Looking for new genres... Any more recommendations. please? | |
| Recording quality of Dorian? Have you noticed difference in quality between what they call xCD and their regular CDs? | |
| Recording quality of Dorian? Hum/hiss from the speakers, very similar to a regular hum from amp, but some stronger, appears permanently when I play this CD... Since on other CDs there was no such a problem, I concluded that there is something wrong with recording there. On th... | |
| Recording quality of Dorian? BTW, what about Reference Recording - I expected huge jump in quality, but was quite disappointed from their Reveries CD - very noticeable hum, noises, and background strings sound hissing... Something wrong with me or with the CD? |
