| Revel Salon 2 vs. Revel Studio 2 "What gives?"People need money? | |
| Esoteric X03-SE vs Bel Canto Dac3/CD2 Scottmac62 - I hear you about that digital in. I would strongly consider the esoteric player if it had one. I actually posted a whole thread dedicated to the subject:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddgtl&1227632397&read&keyw&am... | |
| Denon DL-103 -- Was it a mistake? Jwglista - Would it be possible to pick up another inexpensive cartridge on Audiogon, and sell the 103?FWIW - I've owned the 103 and 103r in the past, and gotten good results with a Rega arm, which is also a bit light for the Denons. | |
| DAC vs. New CDP Kijanki and Swanny - Thanks for your thoughts on this.Given this line of thinking, maybe it makes sense to get an inexpensive CD player with good controls/UI and little regards to its sound quality, and put the majority of the money into a DAC.I'v... | |
| Which separates would you choose Adcom v Anthem? Anthem D2/MCA50 owner here. Really, really good stuff. Sound, build quality, and the interfaces on the processor are all excellent. I have no complaints whatsoever about this HT front end. I haven't used Adcom, but I think you'd be pretty happy wi... | |
| ss amp synergy w/wilsons To add to Bezimienny's notes above - I also recently received a Wyred 4 Sound amp, mine is the 250WPC version instead of the 500WPC version he got.I don't run Wilsons, I run the Gallo 3.1. Different speakers of course, but both fall into the fast/... | |
| ss amp synergy w/wilsons I've heard the Sophias sound extremely good on a Sim w5 amp. This was using either a Nagra or a Supratek preamp.A bit on the higher priced end, I've also heard the MAXX set my personal reference with Boulder. | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond or Aerial 20T v2. Congrats. I doubt you'll be disappointed. | |
| Are Wilson Sophia 2's lean in the midbass? Tusa - not to offroad the thread - but what amps did you find sound best with them? I have have them sounding fantastic on a sim amp with a hovland pre. | |
| DAC vs. New CDP Question for all the "dac" people.If someone was looking for an across the board improvement, and had the budget, wouldn't it make the most sense to address both the dac along with the transport? There seems to be little concern given to the sound... | |
| VPI SSM lacking bite Is it easy to put a phantom on a scoutmaster? | |
| Stylus tracking weight guage I bought one from Sora. Works great. Turns out my shure gauge is .6g off. Wow | |
| Are Wilson Sophia 2's lean in the midbass? "Are Wilson Sophia 2's lean in the midbass?"Not at all, when setup well. You've probably got a room induced suckout. Have you tried other speakers in the same location? | |
| Totem The One or Dynaudio Contour S1.4 If you go for the S1.4s, make sure you have a big enough room for them. If they are too close to the rear wall, you will get a big peak in the 40-50hz range because of the giant port in back. | |
| Coldplay on Quad 988 You're hearing the compression that the record labels demand. Makes it louder for radio play. Doesn't work out well with high resolution stereo.Might want to find a better band anyway, though. ( : Not sure why coldplay is so popular... |
