| Kora Hermes or EVS Millenium or Audio Note DAC One.1x? Just for clarification, I bought my Hermes from JC Audio. It was not purchased directly from Kora. | |
| Kora Hermes or EVS Millenium or Audio Note DAC One.1x? Just got a Kora Hermes...latest version dropped shipped from Kora in France. It's a killer DAC, even just being taken out of the box, plugged in and played. Last DACS were the Audiomeca Enkianthias and Altis Reference. It's much more quiet and det... | |
| Kora Hermes or EVS Millenium or Audio Note DAC One.1x? I don't think anyone has heard the latest Kora Hermes, which is using the all new Crystal input chip set. It's supposed to be miles better that the previous version. The 18 bit was very good, so the new one ought to be marvelous. The new Hermes is... | |
| Pre amp for Merlin VSM se's and Transcendent Stereo 25 I have VSM-M (T) speakers. I've used many pre-amps, including the Wyetech Opal. It was probably the best active pre-amp I've ever had. But if you are using a sperate DAC and transport, no active analog pre-amp comes close to the Z-Systems RDP-1. I... | |
| Cary in bed with Stereophile????? I owned the Cary 300 SEI. I used it with the same speakers Stereophile used to audition this amp...the Infinity Preludes. I had the same opinion they did of it using those speakers. It was quite good. But those speakers have an amplified subwoofer... | |
| Why so many Power plants for sale? I had both the P300 and P600. Both had multiwave, and I ran them both from dedicated outlets. The P600 was switched to 220V, which made it perform better. Both were fed with high quality power cords. I was using the P600 for my amp and analog, and... | |
| Sellers that don't respond Yep, that bothers me. Almost as much as potential buyers who e-mail an offer that you accept, and you never hear from them again. And almost as much as buyers who commit to a purchase and tell you the check is on the way, and then back out of the ... | |
| Elco Ultimate Digital Cable? I have Elco GI-999R interconnects. I replaced Acoustic Zen Silver Reference with them. I also have an Elco Ultimate HPC 10 power cord, which is one of the best in my system. Elco makes viable products BUT....there is no better digital cable (RCA) ... | |
| Dont Ship UPS, Marantz tuner DOA My experience is that UPS damages packages more frequently than FEDEX, but handles the claims better. FEDEX routinely denies claims that UPS pays without a fight. The problem is that UPS is more likely to damage your package. A friend of mine had ... | |
| John Dunlavy On "Cable Nonsense" I remember seeing John at a seminar with Classe Audio at Cherry Creek Audio in Denver before this article was written. At that time, John was very vocal with his opinions about wire and bi-wiring. They were similar to what is written in this artic... | |
| PC needed for EMC-1 Mk II CDP I used a Suhauro Slipstream with my EMC-1. It was the best combination I found after using many diferent cords. | |
| Hales signature 2's. Haven't heard of or seen these things in years. As I remember, they imaged very well, good tonality, light on bass. Vintage was late 80s or eary 90s as I recall. Is that the same speaker? Don't know about mods. | |
| What is your OTHER passion? Scuba diving is numero uno, way beyond my passion for music and high-end systems. If I lived near the ocean, I doubt that I would own a high-end system. Wouldn't need it, because I would always be in the ocean. I am also an amatuer underwater phot... | |
| Cardas Neutral Ref. I just bought a pair of 8 ft bi-wires. It does sound very neutral. Don't know about how longer lengths sound, but the dealer I bought them from says it's true, and he is very reputable. Don't look for these cables to add warmth or any cable induce... | |
| Best CD Transport in 1K Ball Park I agree that a used Pearl is an excellent value. I just sold one to upgrade to an Altis CDT3. The Pearl can be purchased used for under $700. It's a great deal. I can't imagine anything better for the money. |
