| Best new 70" to 80" display BTW, you can call Sharp to verify my info, or look at various you-tube shoot-outs with the Elite PROs where the Sharp rep acknowledges how the sets were designed. | |
| Best new 70" to 80" display That's fine - and others have heard it as I have posted. Regardless, the point is that the Elite PROs are worth considering, or at least being used as a measuring stick against which to compare other LCD/LED TVs. Reviews have been outstanding so far. | |
| Best new 70" to 80" display That's not the way I heard it - Sharp already has 60", 70" and 80" under their own brand and their TV's are VASTLY different from the PRO ELITE 60" and 70". Regardless, there is both Pioneer and Sharp technology inside the ELITEs and the performan... | |
| Best new 70" to 80" display Sony's largest and supposedly "best" is the 65" XBRhx929. As a long-time XBR guy, I was really hoping to like and buy it, but it left me totally unimpressed. Lots of blooming and arguably a step backward from Sony's NX line.The PRO Elite 70 is a d... | |
| Best amp for Von Schweikert VR4SR mk2? You might try McCormack's new preamp, which wasn't around when I was using his amp. | |
| Best amp for Von Schweikert VR4SR mk2? Vac Phi 2.0, I believe. Real nice synergy, but of course not as good as the VAC:VAC which followed.. :-) | |
| Best amp for Von Schweikert VR4SR mk2? Vac has always been my choice driving VSA speakers(not 4's). McCormack DNA-500 if you want solid state. | |
| Esoteric K-01 WOW Guido - as always, you got your finger on the hot pulse of all things audio. I stand corrected - had no idea of that change. | |
| Esoteric K-01 Guys- I knew I'd heard "35 bits", but had forgotten the content. G- That was the head of Esoteric Tech Support who was running the show (Tim Crable), NOT the marketing guy (Mark Gurvey), FWIW. | |
| Esoteric K-01 According to Esoteric at RMAF, P02/D02 is supposed to be a quantum improvement from the P03/D03. 35 bit DACs are also mentioned, or something like that. I would presume, just from release timing and relative costs, that the P02/D02 will smoke the ... | |
| Esoteric K-01 My Esoteric based APL NWO-M has a bunch of the latest AKM DAC chips in it. Although the machine sounded very good new, after about 359 hours, each format sounded significantly better to me.In addition, there was no difference using my Esoteric G-o... | |
| Esoteric K-01 Guido - it was my pleasure to finally meet you as well!I also spent a fair amount of time listening to the K-01 at RMAF and came away very impressed, as I had a hunch I might. The ability to nuance the sound with the different filters as well as t... | |
| Velodyne DD vs DD18plus? Sounds deeper, more melodic and very fast. Very "effortless". The software also allows the sub to integrate almost seamlessly with my room, which is hard to pressurize. Non-sonically, I really like the way the remote now has a display on the sub s... | |
| Velodyne DD vs DD18plus? Mine is also being used primarily for music and works very well in that capacity. I also suggest you listen to the DD+ series - I'm not a dealer, but its like night and day - its better in pretty much all the different ways you would have wanted t... | |
| Velodyne DD vs DD18plus? EA is correct. I am keeping the DD-15 so that I'll have the potential for dual subs later. |
