| Anyone heard the new Magico S3 I have the S5s in the room almost same size as yours. They sound incredible - much better than the Sashas they replaced. More natural and fluentm with much more articulate bass. S3s are very similar in design - same tweeter and midrange, but with ... | |
| How to get the most out of a Metrum Octave Mk II? You will hear much more of a difference by going directly to the HEX vs investing in a superior USB/SPDIF converter. I tried both the OR5 on the Octave 1 and HEX. HEX is a no brainer.Those $2000 USB/SPDIF converters are for $5000+ DACs. | |
| Dcs Vivaldi dac vs. Puccini Icorem - I went from Puccini to Puccini + Scarlatti DAC and that was a substantial improvement. | |
| EPOS ES-11 SPEAKERS With such an old speaker (+15 years), much depends on the condition, so thay can probably be worth anything between $50 and $300. | |
| Best Dac/Transport Under 50,000 That is an 8 years old thread ! | |
| Stepdown transformer 240v - 220v Phil,I wouldn't worry too much about that. There are thousands of amps on the market in Europe, that were made with 220V in mind. Now we have 230V (which means that allowable voltage is deviation is 207-242V, according to the +5%/-10% rule) and yo... | |
| Phillips no longer producing transports What Krell model that was ? | |
| Stepdown transformer 240v - 220v How old is the amp ? Europe has been 230V, not 220V, for the past 15 years. If it works with 230V, it will have absolutely no problem working with 240V (hey, I measure 236V at my AC outlet most of the time). | |
| Remote For Meridian 200 Transport All remotes from Philips / Marantz players should work. At least from those older ones, using RC5 remote code. | |
| Thoughts on Krell FPB series? 600 in particular. I would go with 400CX over the 600. 700CX would be even better, but $$$. There is a big improvement when going from 300 to 400CX. | |
| Phillips no longer producing transports All my cd players with Philip drives had problems. Many were very expensive Krells.You are talking about Philips SACD drives. That is a very different design, which indeed was problematic. On the other hand, the CD-Pro2 discussed in this thread, i... | |
| Datzeel vs Asr Emitter exclusive vs Devialet Did Devialet finally solve those streaming problems people were complaining about ? I was following a thread on another forum where people were constantly trying 'updated' software from Devialet, but after the thread hit 80 pages, I lost interest.... | |
| Krell Cipher Issues? Get the ARC or Esoteric. Those are extremely reliable. Used dCS Puccini should also be within your budget. | |
| Will Japan market gear work on US current? I use one for my Accuphase units.Accuphase is using multivoltage transformers (100/120/230V). No need to use one, as it always hampers the performance. | |
| hydra 8 vs hydra 6 differences The Hydra 6 uses less of the ZrCa-2000 noise reduction compound compared to the Hydra 8 II. There is no ZrCa-2000 noise reduction compound in the Hydra 6. |
