| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players I too have had this same problem, been though the disc and am now on the 3rd laser assembly in my 3910. It will soon be just a backup for an Esoteric UX-1 I had upgraded to a UX-1P1. The difference in build quality is staggering vs the 3910. I am ... | |
| about to jump into the power cord foray COngratulations on getting a few good cords and "hearing the difference". At the risk of vastly oversimplifying the above discourse, it seems to me that the more resolving your system, the more you will hear sonic differences in ICs, PCs and SCs. ... | |
| "Best" of the "Universal" players ???. I will second the APL Denon 3910. Plays all formats very, very well. The best bargain in high-end audio, IMHO, if you can find one used (they are not being made anymore).I am also breaking in an Esoteric UX-1 (out of my system) that has just retur... | |
| Best all around speakers I really like my VSA VR-7s - they play MUSIC. Period. Although "problem" older recordings don't sound great, thankfully I have very few of them and they have in fact already been remastered to take the "grunge" out (my system is non-vinyl and pret... | |
| help with full system cable overhaul I concur with seeing what the Cable Company recommends and trying that first - pretty much nothing to lose if you end up buying cables through them. Having said that, I also concur with the Synergistic Research choice. They have a wide array of pr... | |
| Anyone heard the Von Schweikert Unifield 3? Stringreen- As a very happy VR-7SE owner, I have to agree with Varsharun. Your little or no bass comment is not a characteristic of any VS speaker, so what you obviously heard was a poorly setup system. "fancy tubes and high-priced cables" in no w... | |
| Esoteric DV-60 A little off point, but still relevant for those with a UX-1 or looking for better audio/video out of an Esoteric piece:I acquired a UX-1 several months ago intending for it to be modified into an APL-3.0 by Alex Peychev. Although I believe the UX... | |
| Add a subwoofer to Von Schweikert 4Srs? Aside from adjusting the innards for more bass (Albert can offer excellent advice there, instead of guessing), what I found is that just by moving my speakers a little closer to the back wall/corners, I picked up all the bass I need or could ever ... | |
| Help with upgrading speaker cables Third for Synergistic Tesla series. | |
| CDP Isolation? I also heard dampening with the cerapucs - the cerabases, however, were just the opposite in my system. | |
| CDP Isolation? I recently got creative with Finite Elemente and BDR cones on my APL-modded Denon 3910. AFter lots of trial and error using brass points, cerapucs and ceraballs, I ended up with a mix that really works for me. I have 1 cerapuc in the center rear o... | |
| Esoteric's G-03x Master Clock Generator I am looking into the possibility of a P03-D03 combination and a dealer quoted them with the G-Orb clock, saying it was the best digital sound he had ever heard. When I talked to an Esoteric rep and asked about the sonic differences between the G-... | |
| Pass vs Simaudio I have a DNA-500 (currently retired) that I used briefly with my VSA VR-7's (and before that with Legacy WHispers). Great solid state amp, lots of power and musicality. It easily drove the 7's with no problem. Replaced with a VAC 300.1 due to grea... | |
