| Cocktail Audio's New and latest X50pro Audiophile Music Streamer/server...Any Love? I bought one of ron1264's X50 Pro units. He and I were kind of on the same quest for the best streamer. I had several available at the time I bought it and felt that it was the best of the ones I had. That included the Ambre, which I felt represen... | |
| NRG Custom Power Cables ? I just received their top-of-the-line power cord with a 20 amp end for my power conditioner. The build quality is superb. The sound of my system improved noticeably over the stock cord with improved imaging, separation of performers and instrument... | |
| Core Audio Technology vs Mojo Mini Mac Mods I just received a Kaia and installed it in my Mini Mac over the weekend. The Kaia I received was very impressively built. I didn't open it, but the case is attractively engraved and painted on the front and the top cover also has "CORE" on it usin... | |
| Zu Tone/Druid Tonal Anomalies All good. I have a Mons Audio PSE 2A3. It wouldn't drive the tweeter in my Decware 3s, and I ended up with a sound something like a bad tube in the mids. I was able to use the tweeter attenuation to get rid of it, but had no headroom at that point... | |
| Zu Tone/Druid Tonal Anomalies Smeyers, what amp are you using? | |
| Zu Tone/Druid Tonal Anomalies Interesting question, Drubin. After reading it, I sat in my listening seat and moved around. Are they a one person speaker? No. But movement more than two feet from the sweet spot does result in a SLIGHT change. I think most speakers I've owned ar... | |
| Zu Tone/Druid Tonal Anomalies I just purchased some new Druids. I felt the same way about tonal issues. Mine seemed to have no headroom, rolled off in the high frequencies, and imaged weird. I played them for 7 days straight at moderate listening levels. I then spoke to Sean, ... | |
| ultimate final word 3 on best passive preamp I have owned the Placette, the ASL, Ultimate Attenuators, and a wide variety of active pre-amps. The Silver Rock is the best I've heard, but is ridiculously expensive for what it is. A more cost efficient alternative would be the Bent with silver ... | |
| Experiences with ModWright Sony 999ES I have a Modwright Sony 999ES. It's a fabulous player. I would highly recommend it. Very musical, lots of detail, black background, very involving. No problems after a couple of months. Seems to be very well done. | |
| Best DAC with Volume Control? The Odeon AG is far underrated and overlooked, probably because of it's size and price. But it's terrific for the money. Many of the higher priced DACs have a lot of air inside those boxes. The Odeon isn't selling extra real estate. It only uses t... | |
| What transport for my Birdland DAC? I am using an Altis CDT3 with my Odeon AG. It has a BNC output, which is great with the Odeon AG, since you can throw away the cheap adapter. The Altis is discontinued, but was a $5000. transport several years ago. It is a bargain when you can fin... | |
| infinity intermezz0 2.6 I haven't experienced any brightness or the speaker being forward, once the tweeters were broken in. These are a ceramic / metal hybrid tweeter, and they take some use to sound good. When I first started listening to them out-of-the-box, they suck... | |
| Infinity 2.6 Intermezzo specs and sound... This thread is long dead, but in case anyone is looking at these, I acquired a pair of these and the subs. For the money (now being blown out as refurbished units on Ebay) with a pair of the 1.2s subs (also being blown out), I don't think anything... | |
| Orpheus Amplifier....Who has tried one of them? I have one. I like it. It definitely does not have a "solid state" or "tube" sound. It is very neutral, smooth and liquid. It is also very powerful for a 40w amp. I like it more than some other, well regarded amps that I have owned, such as ASL Hu... | |
| Coincident Speakers - differences between models Yes, Tosh at Divergent Technology says these are the best of the ASL amps. Let me know hoe you like them. |
