| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players My APL Denon 3910 is on its 3rd laser. Alex has said that the Denon 3910 has a very unreliable laser. He also said that the newer Denon units have a more reliable laser, but I don't recall which specific model. It might be the 5910, but I'm not sure. | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Hi John, now I'm intrigued by the Amperex PQ 7062 tube. Honestly, I haven't done any tube rolling since I've been quite happy with the APL Denon performance. I've been looking at other areas of my system to improve on.Do you have any good sources ... | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Hi Chris, thanks for the informative information. Now that I know the facts, I will put up all my gear for sale on Audiogon immediately.Have a nice day.Gary | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Hi John, I had the opportunity to compare the AMR to my APL Denon with the upgraded 32-bit DACs and tube (ECC99 I think). To my ears, the APL has MUCH better and more controlled bass than the AMR. I didn't take notes, but as I recall, the APL over... | |

| NuForce vs Red Wine I own Nuforce Ref 9 V2s and they are NOT cold, sterile or analytical. I will admit, the V1s I had before these did exhibit these characteristics, but the V2s do not.I have not had the good fortune of hearing the RWA amps though. When (if) you list... | |
| APL NWO-2.5T A Review of a Classic CD Player Earflappin - congrats on your new baby! I had the opportunity to listen to a 3.0GO a few months ago in San Diego and it was BY FAR the most amazing digital player I've ever heard! You will definitely enjoy it! Are you running it direct to your amp... | |
| iTunes Ripping - Strange Digital Artifacts Have you tried AIFF format? I've never ripped to WAV only Apple Lossless and AIFF and have never heard any digital artifacts that you've described. | |
| What is the one CD you can't find? I've seen this CD sell on eBay for way too much money. If I recall, it was in the neighborhood of $250. | |
| Not Another NuForce thread...... Jp1208, when I originally compared the Nuforce Ref 9s to my ARC VT100MKII, there were many characteristics of the Nuforce amps that I liked better than the ARC, including transparency, dynamics, bass extension and control, mids, highs, etc. I've n... | |
| Not Another NuForce thread...... Stltrains,>>After a few days under my amps belt i am glad i went with v2 upgrade, a no brainer for sure.<<I second that!! I don't have the SEs, I have the Ref 9s, and they are wonderful sounding amps. The upgrade was indeed a NO BRAINE... | |
| Not Another NuForce thread...... Viclondon,Interesting. Thanks for the info... I'll pass this along to the owner of the Opus 21 player. I agree, the player itself is an excellent sounding CDP. | |
| Not Another NuForce thread...... >>Personally I think the combination of tubes in the front end or preamplifier driving the Nuforce is the winning combination. The amplifiers really do work wonderfully well with tubes.<<David, I agree 100% with your findings. I am a m... | |
| Not Another NuForce thread...... Audiofeil, Audiooracle is a dealer... cut the guy (or girl) some slack! Assuming he is also a dealer for the $21k amp, it would be very poor business to publicly "out" the more costly amp that the Nuforce beat. If I were a dealer, I wouldn't name ... | |
| Not Another NuForce thread...... OK Guido, I'll bite. One of the amps that my little Nuforce Ref. 9 (v1) "behumbled" was the prized darTZeel NHB-108, weighing in at a hefty 65 lbs!However, we only listened to 3 tracks or so, and as I said previously, synergy is everything with th... |
