| Avalon Eidolon or Parsifal Encore OK guys, you convinced me. I will roll the dice and put in a bid on the Eidolon's. If I get them I'll report shoot out results in a few weeks time. | |
| Avalon Eidolon or Parsifal Encore Thanks everyone, this has been extremely helpful.Tom, I was just about to report I'll pass on the Eidolon's but now you got me thinking again - especially since like you the Avalon that really impressed me were Radian HC's 15 years ago. If I pick ... | |
| "God Bless the Child" on Idol? Pops, I am not calling him out an anything. In fact, I never even made the connection between his autism, Tourette, and emotional stability, and certainly never looked at him as "disabled" (like apparently you do, and may be I should have). I am j... | |
| Avalon Eidolon or Parsifal Encore I never said I like the Avalon's better - I heard Avalon Radian HC's a long time ago and liked them a lot (with MIT / Spectral) so I'm intruiged by the idea of giving Avalon a try in my system. This is exactly how I ended up with the Parsifals, an... | |
| "God Bless the Child" on Idol? The reality is James was a good showman, but his vocals just we not that good. Besides, his "emotional stability" issues may be charming on Idol, but won't do him any favors in a professional career. This is still and always has been Scotty's comp... | |
| driving Verity Audio Parsifal Ovations? The 200 wpc follows from the fact that I have 200wpc right now, and to play my P/Es at 100db I need to drive the amp to 90% of capacity, so I cannot see how anything below 150wpc would allow me to play the P/Es at high volume. I do this very rarel... | |
| driving Verity Audio Parsifal Ovations? Any new perspectives on this issue? I'm in the market for a new amp for my P/E's. Tubes need not apply, and I need at least 200wpc, preferably monoblocks - budget up to $7000 used. There are a few pairs of reasonably priced Classe CA-M400 listed. ... | |
| PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC without the transport That is exactly the point. Theoretically there is no difference between the bits being read into the buffer (from ethernet or disc drive). So the only difference in SQ can be attributed to how the I2S signal is generated from the bits in the buffe... | |
| Best subwoofer under $1,500 for Magnepan 3.6R Get the best JL audio you can afford. An F110 can be had easily for 1,500 used. If you are patient you could pick up a F112 for around $1,500 - you will not get more sub for the money than that. | |
| Pioneer BDP-09FD As Good As They Say On Stereo? It is good, but not that good. At some point I had one for video duties along with a Sony XA5400 on CD/SACD and the Sony handily beat it on CD. The main reason to get the Pioneer is for a multi channel analog application with BR/DVD, which is wher... | |
| PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC without the transport For the record, the issue is not "I2S" verus "bridge" - the bridge is also I2S. You can see the PWT as a tranport with a bridge build in. Instead of bits coming in through ethernet the bits are read from a disc. The reason it should sound the same... | |
| PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC without the transport Goes to show that no amount of engineering can take the voodoo out of high-end audio, and the only way to make good buying decisions is to listen to your favorite recordings after 5 rum and cokes and trust your subjective and fatally biased instin... | |
| PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC without the transport I don't have the PWT but to me the PWT would have to beat the bridge by a dramatic margin to offset the loss of convenience of controlling the entire library from the iPhone. Throw in the additional cost of a PWT and for me it is a total non start... | |
| PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC without the transport You forgot arguably the most important thing. The PWT uses the I2S interface with the PWD. | |
| Perfect Debute Albums If first solo albums are allowed then we absolutely need to include Lauryl Hill "The miseducation of Lauryl Hill". Picked up 5 grammy awards and deservedly so. |
