| What to upgrade from Bluenote Koala? $3500 ish Why not buy the BAT VK-D5 in the meantime and enjoy it. Then once the Prima Luna Prlogue 8 is available, I'll have a nice opportunity to compare. I pulled the trigger on the BAT VK-D5. It has Amperex tubes in it already which is nice. It will be a... | |
| What to upgrade from Bluenote Koala? $3500 ish I'm about to pull the trigger on a BAT VK-D5 with Amperex tubes. Other alternatives are the McCormack UDP-1 which I've read good things about, or a used Audio Research CD3 MKII. Can anyone give me opinions on these, perhaps compared to the Bluenot... | |
| Best analog sounding cd player under 5K Alanbrain - Very interested in reading your report about the UDP-1 Deluxe. What is different about the Deluxe versus the original version? | |
| What to upgrade from Bluenote Koala? $3500 ish Does the Rega Saturn even compete in the arena we are discussing? There were a lot of posts about it in 2006, but I haven't seen much more since then. | |
| BAT vk-52SE vs ARC Ref 3 vs CJ CT 5 Does the Placette have a remote control option? | |
| What to upgrade from Bluenote Koala? $3500 ish I cannot describe my Koala as irritating at all. It is quite musical. Maybe my hearing doesn't pick up on those frquencies like some. I've had a few audiophile friends listen to my system and we compared the Koala with a Shanling, Rega Apollo, Arc... | |
| What to upgrade from Bluenote Koala? $3500 ish What is "TT?" Having a brain fade. Not sure what you mean? | |
| What to upgrade from Bluenote Koala? $3500 ish The Stibbert does look tempting. It competes in some very highly regarded company. I too would love to hear from those who have compared the Stibbert to the Koala. Or to anything else for that matter? | |
| What to upgrade from Bluenote Koala? $3500 ish foodfeak - What mods did you have done to your Koala? And what tubes are you using?I agree that my system may not be as deep or wide as some. The comment about the Koala being forward was based on hearing it on two other exceptional systems that w... | |
| What to upgrade from Bluenote Koala? $3500 ish How do the Modded Denon's compare with the Modded Resolution Opus 21's? | |
| Wilson Benesch Discovery VS Proac D38 I heard the WB compared with the Proac D25. The Proac D25 simply did not impress me, and I own an older and beloved pair of Proac Response 3.5's. I wanted to like the D25 but the WB won that contest. I was not able to compare to a D38 as the shop ... | |
| What to upgrade from Bluenote Koala? $3500 ish I'd love to hear from those who have compared the Stibbert with the Bluenote Koala? I've read all the reviews I could find from searching and many seem to think the Koala is quite close sounding to the Stibbert. Others think the Stibbert bests the... | |
| What to upgrade from Bluenote Koala? $3500 ish Is the PrimaLuna Prologue 8 available and shipping yet? Have you heard it? Also, have you seen the new Shanling CD-T1500? I don't think it's shipping yet, but it appeared at CES. If looks could kill, I'd be dead. Looks sweet! And they went to 6922... | |
| How good is the Lector CD player? I compared my Bluenote Koala to a friends Lector CD-T7. Not even the MK II Lector. The Lector resolved much more natural harmonic detail and overall sounded more musical. Now that's not a fair comparison since the Koala has a $2500 MSRP. But I sti... | |
| Bel Canto Cd-1 I take it you liked the sound of the Bel Canto better than the Resolution Opus 21 or the Musical Fidelity A5? That MF A5 seems to have quite a stable reputation. (As does the Resolution Audio Opus 21)Does the RA Opus 21 have a livlier, more magica... |
