| Green Mountain Audio at RMAF To each his own. But the $2900 Callisto vs, the VR4Sr at, what, $7K? | |
| Aesthetix Calypso vs First Sound Presence Deluxe Nor bright. | |
| Ayre C5xe or APL 3910 ? What might have been the JRDG digital player was being designed as a side project by Rich Maez, who recently left JRDG for Boulder. That's my understanding anyway. | |
| placette vs sonic euphoria I've owned a Placette and have heard a Sonic Euphoria in my system. I can't say which sounds better all things being equal, but the Placette active unit (the pricey one) should absolutely work with any source and any amplifier. The Sonic Euphoria'... | |
| Green Mountain Audio at RMAF I spent a lot of time with Roy in the Callisto room. He didn't play Europas for comparison, but my impression is that the Caliisto's are more "refined" (not sure how to explain that). I suspect they have more and slightly deeper bass, but hard to ... | |
| Green Mountain Audio at RMAF They had display models only of those two. The Callisto and Contiuum 3 (in two rooms) were the only live demos as far as I know. | |
| Outstanding Speakers, Outstanding I too was knocked out by the Caravelles at RMAF. The stands are too odd-looking for me to be comfortable having them in our living room. But Robert Maicks and Tom Lyons told me there is a new stand design in the works. | |
| Best cable recommendations - help Nate, are these 33 or 45 rpm? | |
| Ayre C5xe or APL 3910 ? Ayre is not listed on either the exhibitor nor the product list for RMAF. Too bad, and it's right in their own backyard. | |
| Ayre C5xe or APL 3910 ? I've heard both side by side, but it was very briefly so I am not comfortable being conclusive in my remarks here. I will say that the Ayre sounded very, very good, but not necessarily better (or even as good) as the APL. Since that audition, the ... | |
| Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2005 So do audio systems sound different at high altitudes? | |
| Coping in an Age of Uncertainty What's a "real audiophile"? | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective We need names for categories 1 and 2. Like HP's yin and yang, which are more about describing dark vs. light, Bordeaux vs. Chardonnay.I think I'm a Cat 1 guy mostly. | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Thanks for this. I especially appreciate your effort to group the DACs and to compare the group sound to speakers most of us are familiar with. I wish more reviewers would provide this kind of insight into the overall character of a component. | |
| Thoughts on the Jeff Rowland Concerto integrated? Rich Maez told me that the 201 + Concerto pre will outperform the Concerto integrated. Better low-frequency authority and punch, better channel separation, and better dynamics due to a larger preamp power supply. I wonder who's right.Is Rich still... |
