| Wilson Benesch Discovery VS Proac D38 Drubin, Thanks. I never heard that before. I may very well position the speakers a bit different from being exactly 3' from back walls and 3' from side walls. That was a generalization. I'll know soon enough, the D25's were just dropped off by the... | |
| Wilson Benesch Discovery VS Proac D38 Jaybo - Did you mean the Proac D25's are way better? I am not aware of a Proac 250.After all this, I just moved to a smaller space and had to sell my Proac Response 3.5's. I just bought a pair of Cherry D25's. Time for a closer listen, in my room,... | |
| Bought the new Oppo DVD981HD player... How would the Oppo perform sonically for DVD Concerts where audio quality matter more than average movies? I am questioning whether to buy an Oppo with the RAM mods, so it will be more musically satisfying, or whether I should hold out for an Arca... | |
| Tube dampers? Is there a placement position for the Herbie tube dampers that seems to work best? I read that somewhere between mid-way and higher seems to be best. I haven't really experimented all that much with their placement. Thanks for any suggestions | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players What a GREAT write-up and a fabulous, state-of-the-art shootout! I like the King of The Hill method, followed by subsequent experimentation to substantiate your findings. Very Cool!I would love to conduct a similar shootout, but with players that ... | |
| Tube dampers? I just put some Herbie 09's on my 6922's in a BAT Vk300x Integrated and also in a BAT VK-D5 tube CD player. I'm not sure how much difference I heard since the gear was still relatively new to me. But I am getting a 3-D soundstage with amazing spac... | |
| What to upgrade from Bluenote Koala? $3500 ish Gotta tell ya, the BAT gear kicks!!! I am hearing details in the music that I never noticed before. The Vk300x integrated and BAT VK-D5 (6922)CD player are incredible together. and the Balanced interconnects also afford an even quieter, cleaner ba... | |
| Rotel 1068/1075 Separates or Arcam AVR350? Thanks for the response Glai. Which Rotel Separates did you have? It would be great if the Arcam AVR350 bested the Rotel Separates I am using. The Arcam AVR350 receiver would simplify my system by giving me one footprint. That saves a rack space. ... | |
| Raysonic CD-128. How good? I heard a Raysonic the day it was unboxed as well. I fell in love with the cool look. It seemed very well built. I compared to a Shanling CDT100 and a Rega Apollo. The Raysonic was detailed, but lacked the PRAT of the Apollo. The Shanling was neck... | |
| Arcam vs. NAD vs. Rotel AV Units I am considering selling my Rotel 1068 Pre/Pro and Rotel 1075 Power amp to get an Arcam AVR350. I've done a brief A-B comparison and I recall liking the Arcam better in terms of musicality. Not that the Rotel was bad by any stretch. They are both ... | |
| What to upgrade from Bluenote Koala? $3500 ish Bob, I agree about the balanced outputs. I tried both the single ended RCA's and the balanced using Acoustic Zen Silver Reference II IC's. I had both Balanced and RCA versions of that cable. The Balanced really does sound better. Had I tried that ... | |
| What to upgrade from Bluenote Koala? $3500 ish That may be true for the Stibbert. I hear GREAT things about it. Depending on system, speaker placement, room acoustics, I'll bet it's nothing short of amazing. But the Koala is not the Stibbert. It's half the cost or greater of a price difference... | |
| Acoustic Zen Silver Reference II ic users.... I also have a pair of Acoustic Zen Satori Shotgun Bi-wire speaker cables. They are very impressive! I LOVE them. They are conneted between my Audio Research Vsi55 Tube Integrated and a pair of Proac Response 3.5 floor standing speakers. The Acoust... | |
| What to upgrade from Bluenote Koala? $3500 ish Your comment is interesting thinking the Koala will be more musical and entertaining. I've compared it directly to the BAT VK-D5 (6922 version) in a BAT VK300 system. I thought the BAT CDP was way more musical than the Bluenote. The BAT revealed a... | |
| What to upgrade from Bluenote Koala? $3500 ish Ok ..so I bought the BAT VK-D5 and it is coming with Amperex 7308 tubes. I will do a comparison in a couple days when it arrives and I'll post my review in comparison to the BlueNote Koala. |
