| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? Immersed in watching the video I posted above, I see a connection between the kind of inspired talent those railway engineers of so long ago displayed so spectacularly and courageously applies in a different but equally impressive way to what the ... | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? Charles, you are right to separate the truly absurdly-priced Gryphon ’Ethos’ at $39k from the far more reasonably-priced (by comparison) Aqua ’La Diva’ transport at $9k, which is four times less costly. You can buy yourself a pretty decent automob... | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? The YouTube video of the Swiss Albula Railway to which I posted a link in my comment above to illustrate how we can avoid being derailed off the primary topic in this thread (by placing the heavy electric locomotive at the FRONT of our train of th... | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? It is distressing to me to see this thread, which I as its initiator intended to be a robust and honest debate over price-for-value considerations in three CD transports (ok, the GRYPHON is technically a PLAYER because it has an in-built DAC), But... | |
| pro-ject cd box rs2 vs jays audio cd2 mk3 @ jaymark: Quoting you, "I am blown away (by) the phenomenal sound now emanating from my modded Holo dac." Which Holo Audio DAC are you referring to, and what kind of "mod" did you perform (or have done) on it? | |
| pro-ject cd box rs2 vs jays audio cd2 mk3 I will not be overly surprised to see China’s Jay’s Audio, sooner rather than later, come ’round to the realization that, as word of the Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T spreads ever wider, they will have to start building their CDT2-MK3 (or its as-yet unnam... | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? I will not be overly surprised to see China’s Jay’s Audio, sooner rather than later, come ’round to the realization that, as word of the Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T spreads ever wider, they will have to relent from their current stance and start buildin... | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? Well said, Charles! Spot on. | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? Both of you ask very good questions. Answering yours first, jperry, I have the Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T feeding via AES/EBU a Holo Audio 'MAY' KTE version DAC, connected to a Holo Audio 'Serene' KTE version preamp driving a pair of ATC self-powered ... | |
| pro-ject cd box rs2 vs jays audio cd2 mk3 @ jaymark: I am so sorry you had such a disappointing experience with your Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T. There had to be a reason why Music Direct was selling it "open box." I live right here in Chicago so I deal with Music Direct in person, and they ... | |
| pro-ject cd box rs2 vs jays audio cd2 mk3 Jumping ahead to late December 2021, I can say from personal experience that the Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T is STUNNINGLY better-sounding than the Jay's Audio CD2-MK3 transport, even when the Jay's is linked to my Holo Audio MAY KTE DAC via its i2s HDM... | |
| Why recordings made before 1965 sound better. There are many factors entering into the possible answer to the question, "Why do recordings made before 1965 sound better (than, I assume, those made in more recent years)?" I’ll add my guess to the mix: At that time the electrical grid we relie... | |
| Two of the most powerful words ever A lovely question, most worth asking! | |
| Roon Streaming Service actually Degrades the sound According to several posters here on this thread, seems there’s "ROON for IMPROVEMENT" in its sound quality. I have not yet tried ROON, but I have good digital equipment to run it on: A MELCO Network Switch, their Model S100, for Audio Streaming (... | |
| What is PRaT These audiophile acronyms, such as "PRaT," are rather irritating when encountered during reading a review of equipment, etc. Although I understand why reviewers resort to using these insider-acronyms, to save themselves time and effort to spell th... |
