Pioneer Blu Ray Player BDP 05 FD Correct, although currently the 05 does not decode DTS HD - it needs a firmware upgrade to do that. That update is not yet scheduled. Most people believe this will happen, although it looks like early 2009. There are some skeptics who think it mig... | |
Pioneer Blu Ray Player BDP 05 FD The 05 is Pioneer's current player, released about 2 months ago, whereas the 95 was launched a year ago. The 05 is a new platform, not a simple update to the 95. The 95 is till listed on the Pioneer site as a current model, although I doubt anyone... | |
Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor old v new I listened to the Cremona Auditor M this weekend. The sound was consistent with what I heard with the Elipsa. They have much more detail than the original Cremoma, but the sound did not show the richness of the original, especially in the mid-rang... | |
Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor old v new Tda2200 - I would agree that Primare and Rotel are not up to the task of bringing out the best of the Cremona. My comparisons were with higher end amps. The difference between the lower end B&K and the higher end amps was definitely dramatic, ... | |
Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor old v new Actually, I find some change in sound with electronics but not huge changes. I hear differences in the treble detail and in the ability to control base, but the overall sound does not change that much. I have tried Edge, Levinson, Classe, AR, Sima... | |
Where to buy vinyl? A couple of places for used vinyl that I have used.http://www.recordsbymail.com/http://www.audiophileusa.com/index.cfm | |
Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor old v new Your description sounds right on to me. The floorstander would give you more low end. Might be an option used. Agree with 804 observation. If he has either Cremona M or Elipsa you might want to listen to them anyway, just for comparison. I heard t... | |
Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor old v new What was your impression of the original Auditors you auditioned? Of course electronics do make a difference. Maybe you should get Magnolia to loan you the originals just as a test in your setup. Of course, used Auditors come up used here pretty f... | |
Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor old v new Bob - I think the Analog Room still carries SF. That is where I first heard the Cremona, Amati and Strads They might have the M's to listen to, if you have not already heard them. | |
Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor old v new I must have been typing when Hulskof was posting. Obviously different views - that "warm" sound is appreciated by some and not others. But I think what he liked in the M is similar to what I heard with the Elipsa and did not like. So, we agree on ... | |
Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor old v new I have not heard the Auditor M, but I agree you should be cautious. After the initial reviews I was very interested in the new Elipsa - seemed like a scaled down Strad, which I love. But when I heard them (driven by Chord electronics) there was go... | |
EVA CASSIDY Also try Elusive Disc and Acoustic Sounds for some of the lesser known artists and CDs. | |
EVA CASSIDY Love Eva. One of the best. Agree on Stacey Kent - better known in Europe than in the US (she is American but lives in England with her husband who is also her saxophonist). Her latest CD has a lot of original songs - somewhat unusual for many jazz... | |
Equipment to go with Sonus Faber Concertinos? Pathos Classic One is a frequent match with Sonus and is a very striking design. Its a hybrid integrated. Very musical. I have it will a pair of Concerto Homes. Have not listened to it with Domus. MkIII is the latest version, I think. Sporadically... | |
Nordost vs. Transparent...which is better? Glide3 - I completely agree. My experience was that with the Nordost in my system the result was thin and edgy, just as Mike said some people experience. Transparent did not show that charactertic in my sytem. So, for me the Transparent were a bet... |
