| Aesthetix Romulus Signature Upgrade Worth the $3,000 ? Really hard and most likely impossible to state where high end begins. I have owned Van Alstine and Quicksilver gear and they were pretry good really. | |
| Aesthetix Romulus Signature Upgrade Worth the $3,000 ? Some good values do exist and you mentioned them. However, a great many others fit my description. I cannot build a car, but I can can buy a Scion for the price of some high end dac's and amps. I cannot build a wave runner, snowmobile, motorcycle,... | |
| Aesthetix Romulus Signature Upgrade Worth the $3,000 ? Seems I cannot edit even 10 seconds after posting. The edit function is not working. | |
| Aesthetix Romulus Signature Upgrade Worth the $3,000 ? Forgot to mention that even the high end, boutique parts market is priced out of sight. I can build gear that sounds as good as gear selling for 10x the price, but it is not cheap for me to build with top quality boutique parts. Some don't believ... | |
| Aesthetix Romulus Signature Upgrade Worth the $3,000 ? JWM, that is true. We are in a tough spot as the gear and hobby we love so much is priced so very high. Not all the time, but too much of the time. | |
| Granny ring, Jetrexpro, all Hi all. I now have 100% WE 10 ga wire power cords throughout my system and just love them. I simply used a 10 gauge run for ground, hot, and neutral. No shielding of any kind and a simple twisting of the three wires. Highly recommended. I also use... | |
| Aesthetix Romulus Signature Upgrade Worth the $3,000 ? I bet the Eclipse version is outstanding as I found the simple upgrades I performed to the stock unit to be a nice step up. I just wish these upgrades were more affordable from the manufacturer. High end audio pricing has really gotten out of hand... | |
| Aesthetix Romulus Signature Upgrade Worth the $3,000 ? Meant to type "the" Luxman not "he". Seems you cannot edit once the post is 30 minutes old. | |
| Aesthetix Romulus Signature Upgrade Worth the $3,000 ? He Luxman does not have a volume control. I did did hear the Romulus with both a cheap Sony CD player as a transport and and older CEC belt drive transport. Very slight difference and I would say the CEC made the sound a tad smoother. Not day and ... | |
| Aesthetix Romulus Signature Upgrade Worth the $3,000 ? JWM, I guess we will just disagree on this one. | |
| Aesthetix Romulus Signature Upgrade Worth the $3,000 ? Lula, glad you like the unit still! It is very musical indeed and with your transport I am sure it is spectacular. A good transport really brings a lot to the sonic party. | |
| Aesthetix Romulus Signature Upgrade Worth the $3,000 ? Sorry guys. I do think I can say the Luxman is a better dac....not subjectively, but holistically. I feel quite comfortable saying this based on my experience with both dac's in two systems. I am not saying something ridiculous, but perhaps I have... | |
| Aesthetix Romulus Signature Upgrade Worth the $3,000 ? If you're only spinning CDs then the cap and resistor upgrade on the analog board combined with the Sistrum Apprentice rack gets you beyond Signature. I used Jupiter copper foil caps which are better than the Dynamicaps used in the Sig upgrade. Mu... | |
| Aesthetix Romulus Signature Upgrade Worth the $3,000 ? As I remember standby keeps the power supply on, but not the analog board with the tubes. | |
| SS pre sounds like tubes Sounds like you guys would love an LDR based passive from Tortuga or Lightspeed. I owned both and they deliver what you like! |
