| Avalon Eidolon Diamond-Worth it? Kurt - you will not get the bass slam you are looking for from the Diamonds. There is not much of a difference in bass slam between Eidolon Vision and Diamond. If you want more bass slam get the Wilsons or ... the Isis. | |
| dcs puccini, chord red ref, meitner cdsa or nagra @ Maxx2man - Chord Red Reference got a mixed review from HiFi News (UK). You may want to check it out.@ Kops - did you change from CDSA to Puccini ? How do they compare. I know that you were a huge fan of EMM. | |
| Primare I30 vs Krell KAV 400xi 400xi is head and shoulders above I30 in fit & finish department. Krells housing is all made of bent and milled aluminium. Primare has only aluminum front panel - the rest is steel, powder coated black or silver. Krell looks great from all sid... | |

| KRELL FPB-300cx vs. PASS LABS X250.5 I have recently tried the FPB-200c (300cx direct predecessor) and Pass X-250 (X-250.5 predecessor) with my Sophia 2 speakers and Pass was in a class of his own.Shure, 300cx is better than 200c, but so is X-250.5.I was so impressed with the li'l Pa... | |
| Primare I30 vs Krell KAV 400xi I have both Krell 400xi and Primare I30 smaller brother, the I21 at home. All I can say that Krell is in a totally different league than Primare. It is true that it runs VERY hot, but the same can be said about many audiophile amps - Lamm, Pass an... | |
| Wilson sophia typically found with solid state I run my Sophias 2 with a tube amp (ARC Ref 110)a and it is very good combination, although I recently heard them with a Pass X-amp and was also very impressed. So much in fact that I will be borrowing X-350.5 soon. | |
| How good is Accuphase DP-700 SACD/CD Player I have had it in my system for over two weeks. And before that - DP-78 and DP-500.That was a part of mt "new CDP" quest. I have also tried the Krell 505, Naim CD555, EMM SE combo, MBL 1531 and ARC Ref CD-7. I liked DP-700 and Ref CD 7 the best, al... | |
| Downsizing from Audio Research REF110 to 100.2 From my own expirience I can recommend a Pass X-250 as a SS alternative to Ref 110. It sounds great and works great with Ref 3. Runs a bit hot though. | |
| Wilson Sophia II vs. Thiel CS3.7 I've never heard the Sophia II, but the technical descriptions I've read of the changes seem pretty minor. They're still using the same Focal inverted dome tweeter, but with some new modifications to reduce its distortion somewhat.I disliked the S... | |
| Wilson Sophia II vs. Thiel CS3.7 For me that is easy.A close friend of mine, 3.7 owner, put his Thiels for sale next day after hearing the Sophias 2 in his system.Sophias were more musical, more real sounding and less fatiguing. We were both surprised. This is one of those demos ... | |
| Avalon Eidolon and Krell, good match or not? I tried 700CX with my Eidolons Vision. The big Krell worked as good as any other solid state amps I have tried (and I have tried many of them, including $23k Lamm M1.2 monos).Having said that, the best sound I managed to get from Eidolons, was fro... | |
| Difference: Accuphase DP500 Or Esoteric X-03 SE DP-500 is Flavor #2 and Esoteric is a classic flavor #1 sound. If you are not familiar with "flavors", here is an explanation:"Category #1) These DACS "flavors" revolve around pristine clarity, fine sharp details,speed,very extended top/bottom fre... | |
| Edge CD player Is that the one that was discovered to be nothing more than a budget Pioneer DVD player in a nicer box and hi-end price tag ? (like the infamous Goldmund Eidos 18D) |
