| Dartzeel NHB-108 "Last time out I mentioned darTZeel's NHB-108 from Switzerland as the sweetest-sounding solid-state power amplifier I have ever heard." John Marks in Stereophile, Sept. 2003. | |
| Dartzeel NHB-108 I understand JTinn has been seen wearing the new T-shirt "It's all relative in West Virginia." | |
| Dartzeel NHB-108 Frank--someone may look at these posts and lock all of us up en masse! I think the rules would be that each person gets to bring along one piece of stereo equipment. | |
| Dartzeel NHB-108 I think it's possible that Frank feels misled by me, and I hope that wasn't the case. I frankly did not comprehend the extent to which he wanted to take his humorous asides, and Frank has been more than generous with time, advice, and practical he... | |
| Dartzeel NHB-108 I'm glad to hear that all is patched up. Frank, I was getting emails from friends who were wondering how I could take the abuse, but I assured them you were not targeting me. Now, cough up the SME, old chap! | |
| Dartzeel NHB-108 I think this thread is spinning out of control.Frank I have to tell you that I was somewhat taken aback by the vociferous tenor (pun intended) of your remarks, but took them as a joke. But I don't think it's right to say that I was trying to pull ... | |
| Dartzeel NHB-108 But I must confess one thing: you were right about the merits of a certain Japanese shark versus a South American humming bird. | |
| Dartzeel NHB-108 FMPND--I think you're being too quick to dismiss the Dartzeel, but I'm glad that I've managed to supply you with some merriment. | |
| Dartzeel NHB-108 FMPND--I believe you're confusing cautious approbation with an outright endorsement. I never said that I had listened to the Dartzeel (though I have--admittedly not under optimal circumstances--and found it stunning in its smoothness and 3-D lifel... | |
| Dartzeel NHB-108 My understanding is that the Dartzeel, as mentioned in a recent Stereophile review by John Marks, is one of the best amps in the world. Why not give it a whirl? I can't use it on my Maggies, but on Kharmas, Avalons, and the like, I'm sure it deliv... | |
| Aesthetix IO vs. Manley Steelhead vs. The Groove Guilty as charged. | |
| Aesthetix IO vs. Manley Steelhead vs. The Groove How can you trust anything someone who's using a Dynavector XV1-S is saying? | |
| About the EMM Labs DAC Let's be fair. The EMM labs is superb, but it can't make a badly mastered CD or SACD sound good. No player can or ever will. What the EMM does is take good to excellent CDS and SACDs and make them sound tremendous. | |
| About the EMM Labs DAC Even if Tireguy says it, it's still true. The Meitner is a fabulous piece. It creates a 3-D image the likes of which I have never heard before and it's silky smooth. | |
| About the EMM Labs DAC I must differ with Tireguy on the transport issue. I would prefer a much more rigorous housing. The Phillips is a tin-can subject to all sorts of resonances. As it stands, I suspect the performance would be even better with a solidly built transport. |
