Best Tonearm for Dynavector XV1s
Hi Raul: One would think that the current Dynavector DV-507 would be a synergisitc match with the XV-1s. A gentleman whose ears and technical knowledge I greatly respect likes the DV-507 the best with the XV-1s, closely followed by the Graham Phan... 
Best Tonearm for Dynavector XV1s
Thanks everyone for your input. Since there is no particular concensus opinion on tonearms which are a synergistic match with the XV1s- which arms would you all STAY AWAY FROM ?? 
The current SOTA SACD player
Mike, I couldn't agree with you more!!! In fact, last night I posted a response to this thread which essentially paraphrased your last few posts. For some reason it never appeared- I must have hit the wrong button when trying to post it. 
The current SOTA SACD player
I've been listening to Meitner Designs products for years, starting with the IDAT, some 10+ years ago. I do consider the current EMM Labs Signiture models "The current SOTA...." I listened to the new EMM Labs one box SACD player at the Rocky Mount... 
Pass Labs Aleph Question
A great match I found for the 4a's was Classe. There seemed to be a definate synergy between those two lines. Try to find a Classe CA400. That was the best sounding of the CA series, has a boatload of power (400 watts), and runs cool. 
Pass Labs Aleph Question
I've owned Aleph 0's, Aleph 1.2's, Dunlavy 4's, Dunlavy 5's and Dunlavy 4a's. In my experience, if you want satisfying, well defined, articulate bass response out of the 4a's the Aleph 0's are your best all around bet. Of the Aleph series the orig... 
EMM labs upgrades for CDSD and DCC2
I've owned every generation of EMM Labs seperates including a Meitnerized Phillips SACD player / DAC 6 / Switchman II ; CDSD / DCC2 and now the Signiture Edition CDSD & DCC2. Way back when I was even one of the handful of owners of Ed's IDAT- ... 
Zu on Zu
I have followed this thread with much interest- I think we all are looking for that "transcendent transducer", particularly at the $9k price point for Zu's flagship model. My question to those who own or have extensively auditioned the Definitions... 
wadia making mistake?
Aolmrd1241: I'm sorry to have criticized your Wadia gear. I thought that some of the participants / readers of your thread would find the comparison of value. To answer your question- No, Wadia is not making a mistake incorporating SACD playback c... 
wadia making mistake?
As a former 270 / 27i owner I would suggest you guys consider a used EMM Labs CDSD / DCC2 combo- street price is in the $8000 range. This combo absolutely destroys the 270 / 27i, renders the Wadia virtually unlistenable. If you want a significant ... 
EMM transport clarification
There is actually an audible basis for that comment in Positive Feedback. The Signiture edition CDSD is shipped with a new software program for Redbook playback. I've owned the two previous generations of EMM Labs gear (Meitnerized Philips Player ... 
Suggestions- High Performance TT/Arm- Rock Jazz,
Chadnliz: Thanks for the comments. The SOTA COSMOS seems like a strong candidate. Curious about TERES 300 series, SME 20/2. Heard that SME is not great with rock music ?? 
How long and how loud
Try a Barry White CD, the bass line will exercise your woofers and you may also get some exercise from your wife... 
Questions about SACD vs.analog for classical music
Robm321: You, originally, made a very clear statement about the superiority of a vinyl rig you are, presumably, familiar with. When asked for specifics you decline to or cannot be bothered assembling the information. How are we to take you serious...
