| Audio Aero Prima vs. Resolution Audio Opus 21 Swamp- I have heard it. In my opinion, the EMC1 UP (not sure if it was the SE?) offers nothing over the Opus. They are both musical players, but the EMC simply does not have the resolution and detail that the Opus has. Actually, I believe you hear... | |
| Audio Aero Prima vs. Resolution Audio Opus 21 A DIN-RCA or XLR connector simply has the single DIN on one side, then splits into two RCAs or XLRs. | |
| Audio Aero Prima vs. Resolution Audio Opus 21 Kurt is right, you bypass the analog control stage by using the DIN output and using a DIN-RCA (or DIN-XLR if you wish) connector (the Audience DIN-RCA and DIN-XLR cables are in MHO the best). If you are using a preamp, I think it is a well worth ... | |
| Three transport choices, which one? Put the Museatex Melior CDD transport. Extremely musical and transparent at the same time. | |
| Audio Aero Prima vs. Resolution Audio Opus 21 The Opus is a phenomenal player at any price. Hands down a winner, however if you need warmth and a full lush sound, the Opus may not totally deliver. It will deliver musicality, great PRAT, openness, detail, literally everything you could ever wa... | |
| Reference 3a MM De Capo's vs Totem Sttaf vs LSi9's Get rid of those 8tc cables and upgrade. They are awesome for the price, but if you are going to upgrade to better gear, make sure the cables are at the level of the rest of your stuff. | |
| Sonic Frontiers vs. Audible Illusions Preamp. FWIW, I am auctioning a brand NEW Audible Illusions M3A with NO RESERVE now and it ends this Friday. | |
| Pass Labs X150 v. Bel Canto Evo2 amp. It is far from clinical and cold, but far from rich and warm. That said, it is dead neutral. If you have a cold clinical preamp and CD player, that is what you will hear. If you have warmer components and cables, it is beautiful.Overall though, as... | |
| Best Player or DAC: ceiling $3k Simple one, Resolution Audio Opus 21. If you have no local dealer, please drop me a line..... | |
| Which 3K CDP: Simaudio Nova, Ayre CX-7 Wadia 302 Resolution Audio Opus 21, no brainer under $8k......... | |
| Review: Resolution Audio Opus 21 CD Player Running the Opus through preamps that were $6k+ was the only thing to improve the sound from running direct. I am considering modifying the Opus, and my thought is that it will smoke anything out there, direct or through a preamp! | |
| What mini-monitors should I audition? The new Sehring 700 monitor is awesome. One of the best midrange and highs I have ever heard on a minimonitor. (I am a dealer and realize this is a very biased suggestion, but they are awesome) | |
| Best in depth of soundstaging and ease for 2k? Contact me offline, I could arrange to have you demo a pair of either the 700s, or the 702s. | |
| Best in depth of soundstaging and ease for 2k? Sehring 700 series (700 monitor, or 702 floorstander)One caveat, I am a dealer but I feel strongly that I should post on this question. I believe that the new Sehring speakers, handcrafted and designed in Germany, would absolutely fit your desires... | |
| Product comparison I am a dealer for Bluenote and Resolution Audio, two of the best players at their prices (under $10k league) that take slightly different approaches. I will start by saying I have demoed many of the greats out there and these two players offer the... |
