| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @ melm : Yes, I just bought a Musetec from the sole U.S. dealer in Indiana, and I have its balanced outputs feeding my Holo Audio KTE Serene preamplifier - which, in turn, via its fully-balanced XLR outputs, is driving a pair of self-powered ATC ... | |
| Audiogon is becoming the hub for scammers. I am new to Audiogon and until now I have relied on it solely as an informative discussion forum for audio equipment owners and users to discuss the various pros and cons of THIS versus THAT brand of gear. I have learned a lot here that I probabl... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @ fl_guy : There are many preamps you can consider using with your Musetec 005. I personally recommend the Holo Audio SERENE preamp, KTE version. I own it and find it to be a very solid performer all around. Well-engineered, using quality parts, ... | |
| How does solo piano help you evaluate audio gear? @ arro222 : Why did you find it necessary to act so harshly toward a fellow commenter? OK, so you disagree with hilde45? Fine, that’s your privilege and right - all of us disagree at times for various reasons. However, attacking someone persona... | |
| How does solo piano help you evaluate audio gear? There is no question that a well-recorded QUALITY piano in good tune played by a pianist who really knows and understands the piano, is an essential litmus test to appraise the tonal verity of an audio system. The same applies to reproducing the h... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados As of late January, 2022, it’s fascinating to see that there have been more than 70 pages’ worth of people’s input on their favorite classical music recordings and/or listening suggestions since rvpiano originally started this thread on 12-09-2017... | |
| What a pile of Schiit @ cjveltman Thomas Crapper, the Brit who invented the flushable loo way back in the day, might have a thing or two to say about this company. Another, far more contemporary, enthusiast for what Schiit manufactures is Randall Messman, whose "brai... | |
| Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3 @ stevenmarchesano Yes, you’re right about not judging a new piece of audio equipment right away, especially if it’s brand-new from the factory - not only for your "shiny new object" reason, but also because your new electronic gear needs some g... | |
| Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3 @ akgwhiz The Pro-Ject RS2T CD Box transport, with its top lid fully opened to its upright position, where it will stay open whilst you load/unload a CD, the upper edge of the opened top lid measures 9 3/8" (nine and three-eighths inches) above ... | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? @ facten Thanks for the price info. In response to your reaction to my comment about your spelling error, I owe you an apology because I clearly made you feel that I was singling you out for criticism and to embarrass you in front of the communi... | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? @ facten You’re right - I was dismissive toward tommylion when I suggested that he take his search for a CD player down the "mid-fi" road. I was reacting to the impression he gave me that having a programmable feature in a CD player was far more ... | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? @ charles1dad: The programmable alternatives you’ve suggested tommylion consider are all fine and good, but the P.S. Audio and Aqua HiFi units are far more costly than I suspect he’s willing to pay for a good-sounding programmable CD player. His b... | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? @ tommylion : You’ve made it abundantly clear by now that your PRIMARY objective is to own a CD transport or player which lets you select ONLY those tracks on a CD which you want to hear, whilst skipping over (OMITTING) all the rest. With a littl... | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? @ charles1dad and anyone else interested in reports of improvements to the sound from their Pro-Ject RS2 T CD Boxes by powering them with a linear power supply instead of the included switching wall wart: Here’s how I describe my experience so fa... | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? @ tommylion: A very good question, needing more insight than perhaps most of us here have. It’s worth asking the Pro-Ject people themselves. If the inability to program tracks on the RS2 T is also duplicated on any or all of the other transports d... |
