| Which SACD of Jazz at the Pawnshop sounds better? Onhwy61, I guess I don't have the sophistocated taste in jazz as you do, as I have been only listening to jazz for the last 20 years including the lame "Jazz at the Pawnshop" in it's original LP pressing. But thanks for the advice on the Chesky re... | |
| Just ordered the Jungson 88D Luxury Edition. 84audio,Have you heard the 88D and DK personally in your own system? Otherwise, I don't think you could say which is better. The guy I'm buying from has heard both in the same system and recommends the Jungson. I have no reason to believe he's bei... | |
| Just ordered the Jungson 88D Luxury Edition. Kck,I'll have it early next week. Will keep you posted? From what I hear, the integrated does not run as hot as most class A because of the elaborate heat sinks inside the chassis. | |
| NY HE Speaker Standouts Slipknot1,I can see why you still have the Maggies. The MG IIIs were my first love in hi-end (circa mid 80's). Just wonderful with the right tube amp. | |
| NY HE Speaker Standouts Kana813, I left wondering the same thing about Red Rose's Bobcat thingamajig. I really thought ML was going deaf. The sound was digital, lifeless, dimensionless, rolled off in the extremes, and the channel balance was off to the right (I was sitti... | |
| Analysis Audio at High End Show I used to own the Apogees and had a hell of a time setting them up correctly. One of the most important aspect of setting up Apogees were getting the right amplification and if possible biamping them. Once set up correctly, there was on couple of ... | |
| NY HE Speaker Standouts Slipknot1,Sorry, my fault. It was my poor grammer and typing skill. I meant to say "I heard the room and it was a resounding disappointment". Yes, the TADs (including the amplification and digital source) are known for their resolving power, espec... | |
| Just ordered the Jungson 88D Luxury Edition. Yes, Cornfedboy. It is definately a risk, and I would have never done something like this even a year ago. But the the Chinese products are so reasonably priced, I would not be losing out on that much if I don't like it. It's not just the guy who ... | |
| NY HE Speaker Standouts Slipknot, looks like I'm not the only one who felt this way about the TAD room:http://www.audiofederation.com/hifiing/2005/HE2005NYC/day2/index.htm | |
| NY HE Speaker Standouts R52481,I would be really interested in your opinion after you hear the DK with the Hyperion and VR4jr. The DK did such a great job with the VR4jr, I hope it can do the same or better for the Hyperion. The only caveat I have is that the dealer may ... | |
| NY HE Speaker Standouts Slipknot1,I visited the room and found the sound very unnatural, so much so I left within 10 minutes. Sound was clean but lean. I have yet to hear a 4+ channel setup that sounds like the real thing. Might as well wear a giant headphone. As for my ... | |
| NY HE Speaker Standouts Twilo, don't be mad. Kimber probably did you a favor. I heard the TAD room was a resounding disappointment. | |
| NY HE Speaker Standouts ZZZZZZ....sorry Clamps,what did you say? :) | |
| NY HE Speaker Standouts Celebrer_le_temps, Hyperion did not use the tube and SS together. Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to hear the Focus Audio or the Aural Acoustic speakers. I've been hearing good things about both.Rbf, I was in the Hyperion room twice, in the ... | |
| NY HE Speaker Standouts By the way, DK will be releasing the mk3 version soon. I was told it would not have the analogue meter on the front plate like mk2. Instead it has this ugly, IMO, new front plate without the meter and with some plain looking red indicators - the n... |
