Merrill amps at Audiophile Society meeting
I was not at that Audiophile Society Meeting but I did go to the Merrill room at the recent NY Audio Show. I was impressed with what Merrill had to offer. The speakers in that room were the very revealing Roger Sanders electrostatics and the resul... 
What would be the best for Andra?
Allend, I would like to get in touch with you regarding the Eidolons you had posted in Sept. of 2011. Please call at 610.841.5010 if you get this message. 
audiophile music servers the latest products, info
I just posted this in another response, but feel it is just as pertinent here.I have been using a Memory Player for the last two years. About six months ago the Build 7 upgrade was implemented which takes the performance to an even higher level. I... 
Nova Memory + DAC or top class CD player?
I have been using a Memory Player for the last two years. About six months ago the Build 7 upgrade was implemented which takes the performance to an even higher level. I have yet to find a mechanical transport that will outperform the MP.Read what... 
Best player for Poorly Recorded redbook CDs?
How could there be any way to improve on what's on a CD, good or bad? Once it is recorded, that's it. It is cast in stone, or rather in the substrate of the CD. The poorly recorded take is represented by what's on the CD (or in the case of the LP,... 
Today's Transport War: Significant Differences?
RUR is not nonsense. I am pretty sure Harley would also not call it that.Instead of getting the data off the CD in a single pass, RUR reads the disc until a predetermined level of the total data on the CD has been extracted. In the case of the MP ... 
Today's Transport War: Significant Differences?
Guys, guys, please let's keep the data straight. The subject is alredy too technical for most us so let us not make things any more confusing. I am referring to Drubin's comments on "Robert Harley's comments on the Memory Player" in TAS (Dec. 2006... 
Today's Transport War: Significant Differences?
Before jumping to conclusions about the Nova Physiscs Memeory Player go to their website www.thememoryplayer.com and read why their approach to get at the data on the CD is completely novel and does NOT resemble buffering, reclocking, oversampling... 
any one have direct exp with hi-end hard drive?
I am sceptical that the MP has been derived from the video arena. Rather, as one of the reviews points out, the RUR process is derived from something the audio recording industry already uses. But that is only one third of the story. Then you also...

The Nova Physics Memory Player has two webzine reviews out there at this time. Go to www.stereotimes.com and www.positive-feedback.com.For a printed preview writeup see the latest issue of The Audiophile Voice.As these reports point out, the MP is... 
Meitner SACD1000 owners....
I have a Philips SACD-1000 with the emmLabs module installed by emmLabs. The module is perfect but the SACD-1000 failed. As Lazarus28 suggests, you could have Alex Paychev install the emmLabs module in the Denon 3910 and retain all the functionali... 
New Fleetwood Mac album, any opinions?
I was all set to get the album when a friend brought it to another friend's house to audition. All three of us strongly nixed the CD for being non-involving and bland. To me it seemed that the group has lost its spontaneity and this album appeared... 
Best Amp for Eidolon
It is well known that Spectral and MIT have a high regard for the Eidolons. They very often use modified Eidolons at CES with spectacular results. For me the Eidolons are at their best (at CES and a friend's house) with the Spectral DMA-360, but i...
