| Pass X1 / X250 - how to get a bit foregivable ??? I used to have the X350/2.5 combo. (Still own the 2.5). If it were me, I would upgrade to one of the .5 amps and keep the X1. I've noticed that some dealers are offering a generous trade in on the older amps. Also the Shunyata Aries S XLR's worked... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Have any of you TP2.0 owners compared it to any of the high end preamps? I've read about one comparison to the $16K First Sound so far. Any others like the ARC Ref. 3 or Callisto? | |
| Recommend relatively obscure high end tube preamps Does anyone have experience with the Art Audio pre-Amps? They use NOS tubes and will build to you're specific needs. Their web site is undergoing an upgrade and don't have much info. on the new models like the Alana. Frank | |
| Lamm ML2.1 and Avalon Eidolon ? Forgot to mention that I've got a pair of NOS Amperex 6922 white label 1960's currently running which I believe improved the midrange.Frank | |
| Lamm ML2.1 and Avalon Eidolon ? Elberoth2. I would try a ARC Ref. 3 instead of the Bat. Read the recent soundstage reviews of the ARC as he talks about how well it pairs with the M1.2's. Soundstaging is one of it's strengths. I'm currently using my DCC2 direct to M1.2's and the ... | |
| Noise from emmlabs CDSD with certain CDs No problems with mine. Sounds like something is wrong with your transport mechanism. | |
| Best way to find rattle in Talon Khorus? If you only hear it when you move or rock the speaker back and forth, it's probably the crossover in the bottom not being secured. Should't hurt the sound as you said. | |
| Which Lamm should I add to the flock? Thanks Doc. I appreciate your input. The ML2.1's must sound wonderful. Don't know if I'll get simular results with just replacing one tube but I'm always looking for an improvement even if it's small. I was also thinking about the Telefunken's but... | |
| Which Lamm should I add to the flock? Since a few 1.2 Ref. owners are on this thread, have any of you done any tube rolling? I just got a pair and was wondering if I should leave well enough alone or try some other tubes. Since there's only one 6922 per amp this shouldn't be too diffi... | |
| All the Emmlabs dcc2/cdsd hoopla.. Nil, if you're ever in the Palm Springs area you are welcome to hear mine as well. I have the DCC 2, latest CDSD, latest APL 3910 and an APL/EMM/Denon transport (for the DCC 2) as well.Frank | |

| ASR EmiterII exclusive, follow up? Hi Greg. Sure would like to know how the ASR amp compares to the Encore.Frank | |
| EMM Labs DCC2 with Sony SCD-777ES Chuck, If you're interested in a much cheaper alternative, I have a new Denon 3910 that has the EMM card installed. This was done by Alex Peychev of APL Hi Fi. Comes complete with STT glass cables etc. Does everything the CDSD does. I have both an... | |
| LCD or DLP? Check this out. | |
| EMM CDSD transport new version out Let me clarify my statement above. I have the latest CDSD. It has a usb and rs232 connection. The faceplate is sourced from a different manufacturer and has a more brushed finish as opposed to shiny. It's hard to tell the difference unless side by... |
