| A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport This thread has really tempted me to buy the Pro-Ject Transport. But a very similar thing has happened to me in the past and this feels like a deja vu, and I am confused.There was a mid-fi product that was greatly oversold by a reputed forum membe... | |
| Looking for a SS integrated Amplifier recommendation going into a new system Since you mentioned tone is important to you. I would also add Accuphase E-650 to the mix. I started a similar thread a few months back and ended up with it, and am very happy. Good luck and have a fun December with auditioning and deciding. | |
| All-in-one integrated, 10-15K range, class A/B only Just to update this thread.I finally bought an Accuphase E-650. I got an home demo, and I was sold. It is the first "reasonably" priced SS amp that I really like.It goes brilliantly with my Devore speakers, and at some point it might get another p... | |
| Devore 0/96 - Integrated AMP help @crandell25Accuphase E-650 really took me by surprise, I have never liked SS amps before this (except a megabuck integrated - Technical Brain). It has great tonality of a tube, and amazing bass of an SS. It is still breaking in, so will have to wa... | |
| Devore 0/96 - Integrated AMP help I don't think amplifiers should be judged by weightage. In fact it should not be a factor at all. I don't understand why amp manufacturers and buyers keep touting that as if it is a good thing. I see it as a negative: hard to move around, transpor... | |
| Devore 0/96 - Integrated AMP help @gestalt, is there any place in NYC area that I can audition the NAF, am super curious about the 2A3 that is raved about as the ideal combo with O/96s by someone in WBF. | |
| Devore 0/96 - Integrated AMP help I have push-pull 300b, Nagra 300p, that works quite well with my O/96. That being said I have been tempted to get a SET amp for these speakers. Don't go for any SS other than Accuphase IMO. My E-650 Accuphase also works quite well with these amps,... | |
| A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport @in_shore Would love to hear your thoughts comparing the Aeon to rs2, been eyeing both. | |
| What DAC upgrade made you say “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”? @rsf507 M12 is only worth it if you have Bricasti amps. Its built-in that is not bypassable pre did not match well with other amps I tried.If you are set on Bricasti please get the M21 instead. At that level a separate pre is a must.The Nagra tube... | |
| What DAC upgrade made you say “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”? Went from Bricasti M12 to the Nagra Tube DAC. I am done.Stand out in my journey was AMR DP-777, wish I still had that to compare to the 10X in price Nagra DAC. | |
| Which accuphase should I consider? E-600 should be fine. I know someone who preferred it to E-650, that being said, if budget permits get the latest is usually my refrain. | |
| Which accuphase should I consider? I recently purchased the Accuphase E-650.Get the class A amps, not the A/B.Accuphase class A will easily drive your speakers guaranteed. They are far more powerful than their specs imply and of a different level sonically to their A/B brethren. | |
| A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport My dealer says the RS2 is no longer available till November because they are going through some optical drive issues with their current production.Can anyone else confirm this?Am dying to buy one :) | |
| A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport @amorstereo Any chance you would be able to compare the recently release PS Audio SACD Transport anytime soon? :) | |
| A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport @amorstereo, Have you heard any of the CEC belt drives?For e.g how would the CEC TL5 at the same price point compare to the the RS2 or the Jays CDT2, am very curious to know. |
