| APL Audio You are wise not to jump to any conclusions. Alex answered my e-mail last week from Bulgaria (I am assuming). My Denon was also one of the machines he worked on when he was in the States last month. I got a very quick turn-around time, as well as ... | |
| Denon3910 Exemplar 2008 same as 2006? R-Your first sentence is correct - ALex does need to work on improving his customer relations with the general public. He realized this and that is why Brent Rainwater was his CS laison until several months ago when Brent had some health issues an... | |
| Denon3910 Exemplar 2008 same as 2006? Just FYI - Alex's latest improvements to the 3910 are 32 bit DACs, digital input, improved clock and wiring, and Class A tube output stage using Amperex NOS tube made in Holland. The sonics are pretty special, as you can imagine. | |
| Top 3 power cord for DAC SR Hologram D. | |
| Does good technology guarantees musicality? When you take the best AKM DAC chips and put them in the hands of a skilled, experienced and innovative designer who knows how to properly implement them, it becomes something very special. That is the case with my modded Denon, and why I am smiling. | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? I'm running biwire Apex between VAC 300.1 and VSA VR-7SE with great success. As mentioned above, this cable just does everything very well.Also recently discovered the D-3 digital cable that Ted told me should sell for a lot more than they sell it... | |
| Does good technology guarantees musicality? Tvad- I went in the other direction, already having an Esoteric UX-1 with arguably one of the best transports made, and then having my Denon upgraded again very recently by APL to be used as a 32-bit DAC. Same result - got tired of dealing with th... | |
| Does good technology guarantees musicality? Ideally, we probably all strive for good technology and musicality with our own systems and particular tastes. Totally subjective. Every once in a while, we get lucky and they coincide. This just happened to me with a recently-rebuilt 3910 Denon w... | |
| best power cord for mccormack dna500 I used an Elrod Statement on my DNA-500 with excellent results. Its best to try several - maybe call the Cable Company(John is helpful) and get a few to try from them.Good luck. | |
| Esoteric Transports matched with different DA's Garebear - sorry to say, but I think you were misinformed. The Esoteric transports will work with most any DACs. I currently am using my Esoteric modded UX-1P1 as a transport only for an APL-modded Denon 3910 with amazing results. The Denon has ju... | |
| Speaker Packing? I would use Wooden crates, make sure they are palletized, and use a freight company such as Yellow Freight. You are probably going to have to pack them yourselves - assume the worst and pack accordingly. I've been on both sides of shipping heavy s... | |
| Subwoofer vibration foot isolators???? Auralex works really well for my Velodyne DD-15. | |
| VAC owners, sound off Tholt- I stand by everything I said - Tvad just explained above in more detail pretty much exactly what I was driving at. In other words, you need to hear it for yourself and all the questions in the world are no substitute for your own ears in yo... | |
| VAC owners, sound off Tholt- Your questions have been answered. Just get the piece and try it yourself, or don't. Asking too many what-if questions that are not realistic for you starts to make it look like you are not really serious about the purchase, in which case y... | |
| VAC owners, sound off VAC makes bullet-proof gear and supports it better than most anybody in audio. On my 2nd preamp from them (upgraded to Phi 2.0) and 1st (and probably last, unless I get another and turn monoblock) amp - Phi 300.1. Can't go wrong w/VAC gear.Also, F... |
