| Digital front-end that bests a Sony VSE Level 6? I would check out the APL-modded Denon 3910 w/tube output stage, etc. There were a few for sale on Agon recently for under $3K and they will drop your jaw. | |
| Rives Audio Consulting - Advice? Well put, Frank. | |
| DCS Scarlati v Esoteric P-01,D-01 Rob - While neither an engineer nor a Teac employee, the transport issue is pretty simple - COST. For example, the best transport Esoteric makes is in my 2 yr-old upgraded UX-1, but now only offered in the P-01. Teac does not sell its top transpor... | |
| Esoteric Players: No Digital Input. WTF? Actually, G, there could also be some Esoteric trickle-up next year as they may go to 32-bit AKM Dacs in the D-03, which they currently use in the D-05. I believe there are some capacity/bandwith issues involved, or something like that. As you can... | |

| has anyone tried ultrabit platinum on their cds I got the UBP (couldn't order it without the cleaner on the web site) for $82. a few days ago and tried it on a few CDs that were in my 'Sound lousy" pile. I wasn't expecting much but they sounded like totally different CD's - more detail retrieva... | |
| Suggestions Please If you get a decent sub, EVERYTHING will sound better - you can always pick up all kinds of music later. Since you like dynamic bass, a good sub-woofer is a no-brainer before new music, IMHO..... | |
| What's wrong with Velodyne? There is nothing wrong with Velodyne - I have had their subs for years and currently have a DD-15 that works amazingly well for both 2 channel and HT in a high-end system. I actually bought it in a dedicated audio store and I would put the DD seri... | |
| cable doubter no more I AGREE - When discussing products in your line, non-disclosure is unethical and unprofessional. I thought dealers had to so disclose per Audiogon rules or get banned, but maybe I'm incorrect. Fortunately, I already know about Zieman from other po... | |
| Best sounding HDCD player?? I"ll 2nd the APL Denon 3910 - a great player and currently artificially inexpensive on Agon. Hard, if not impossible, to beat under $10K | |
| What the benifit of using a separate dac? FWIW - Alex Peychev of APL HiFi is NOT a "modder" in the sense of the others mentioned above. He guts the component, save for the transport and display connections, etc. and replaces everything with his OWN DESIGNS - clock, different and more DACS... | |
| Efficient speaker, big bad tight bass? I'd look at Legacy Focus 20/20 | |
| Preamp w/HT Bypass for Mccormack VAC, used. | |
| Best power cord for Subwoofer? I am using 2 runs of Tesla Reference Sub cable on my sub and also have a T-3 PC on it. Sounds really nice in my all- SR system (it better, for what it costs!!) | |
| Esoteric DV50 - What is the next step up? Call Esoteric and/or look at their website for current and prior models. Pretty simple.... |
