| pro-ject cd box rs2 vs jays audio cd2 mk3 I sit my RS2T on top of my LTA, it's a perfect match and makes a double height stacking unit that looks meant to be. I use some iso acoustic feet in between the two. I do get some noise right from the CD transport. It's subtle and not audible w... | |
| Klipsch La Scala or Altec 838 speakers I bought some crusty 1977 La Scalas that were pretty rough looking at a garage sale for cheap and hooked them up to my main system and they sounded amazing so much so that I ended up selling some 25K Kef blade speakers I had at the time because th... | |
| Is the Cary SLP-05 still relavant? I had the SLP 05 with ultimate upgrade for a few years. It's a great preamp, maybe not the final word in transparency but certainly falls into the camp of classic tube amp (warm) sound. It's audio jewelry, built like a tank. I actually preferre... | |
| pro-ject cd box rs2 vs jays audio cd2 mk3 I have had no issues with my Project player since new. It sounds great and even better when I jumped up to a Synergistic Research Galileo SX AES digital cable. I've switched my digital from the DCS Rossini to the WAdax Pre 1 that I got to try an... | |
| Help With New Preamp Decision If you are going to look at Audio Research might as well add many solid state preamps to the list as that is what AR sounds like to me. I'm no expert about Audio Research but I did spend a year going back and forth with a Ref 6 and Schiit Freya +... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV and Luxman Integrated I'm a little late to the party but I did try at length the 550 AXii with the Cornwall. I found it to be very dull and boring compared to the Decware tube amp and some others too. Just kind of grainy and uninvolved I would call it. Overall I was... | |
| Integrateds: Luxman vs. Ayre? My experience with Luxman was that it is a joy to behold, touch, look at and admire. The sound was rather wooly and flat to my ear in a few systems I tried. Ayre to me is neutral, nothing more and nothing less. Probably going to get a warm and ... | |
| Opinions about Daniel Hertz Great to know the forum posters here are the real experts, not guys like Steve G and Steve H who review equipment every day and have tried more stuff in a year than most of us in a lifetime. | |
| Best Options For A Tubed Preamp - $2500 Or Less, Preferably Used To Maximize Value I would recommend the Schiit Freya + with some top notch tubes. The tubes make this into a whole other preamp than stock. I really love that you get the passive mode as well which can be nice for some music and for a different flavor at times. ... | |
| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? I got my hands on a Shunyata King Cobra. It was huge and sounded like it was filled with sand when you tipped it back and forth. I put in on my Wadia CD player and I could not believe how much it changed the sound. | |
| Micca 14 Gauge Pure Copper Speaker Wire these cables just sound right and the price is a no brainer. I like some other cables better but they cost a lot more. I personally prefer the Micca cables over Audioquest Rocket 88 in my office system. I spent a lot of time going back and fort... | |
| Looking for advice for a good 3.5mm to RCA I have been messing around with cables from my AK 2000 player and also ifi Gryphon. I ended up having audio envy make me a cable and it was a very nice step up from the Audioquest stuff I was using. I didn't go super high but around 200 bucks I ... | |
| Schiit Freya Modes: Subjective vs Objective Differences I own and love the Freya +, using some nice tubes that made a significant improvement to my ear. I like passive mode and tube mode. I hear a difference along the lines of what you describe. I don't really care what a meter says I just go with m... | |
| If the DAC is the same, how different do CD transports sound? I heard I nice improvement going from the Audiolab 6000 to the Project CD Box RS2 T. I didn't level match the and blind compare lol but I did notice things sounding better more real and less digital. I also notice that playing a CD from the disc... | |
| Larry Moore Monaco schematic Larry Moore is the biggest POS I've ever met in hifi. He totally lied and ripped me off and I'm not the only one. just google him in the forums. I've had great experiences with different people in hifi, Larry is the worst. |
