master clock with single-box player
No Vsfang, at least not intentionally. Although everyone's words may unintentionally mislead some of the times. Let me know if you are concerned about any of my statements above, and I'll do my best to clarify. If I were having 'fun' with words, I... 
Vienna Acoustics Mahlers too big for my room?
Does anyone know if the Mahlers support banana connectors / Maggie pins, or would I need to get my speaker wires reterminated with spades? 
master clock with single-box player
Greater resolution, control, low level detail, 3D ambiance. 
master clock with single-box player
I have not played with an external clock on dCS P8i, but I have auditioned at least 2 TEAC Esoteric X-01 Limited players with TEAC G0s clocks being activated and deactivated during the performance. . . I could never tell the difference. . . I coul... 
New versions of Vienna Mahlers, Strauss?
Hi Downunder, I did not hear a problem in the 201 and 501 treble per se. That is, I was not detecting audible distortions. Rather, I did not hear all the harmonic richness I was looking for, nor was I hearing all the low level detail and microdyna... 
New versions of Vienna Mahlers, Strauss?
Thanks Raquel, yes the Mahlers can sound like competent 'junior achievers' with some D-class amps, e.g. Rowland 201 and 501. But on Rowland 312 they were a completely different kettle of fish. . . . outstandingly musical without a trace of bass bl... 
New versions of Vienna Mahlers, Strauss?
Hi Shane, my current speakers are a pair of Maggie IIIAds. The total area of my listening environment, including loft and open area behind it is perhaps 18 ft wide by 36 deep or so. Yes, I would love to hear Raquel's thoughts on this. 
New versions of Vienna Mahlers, Strauss?
Thank you Downunder, I would initially power the Mahlers with a pair of Rowland 7M monoblocks, to be replaced at some time possibly with a Rowland 312 or other solid state or class D amp. My listening environment consists of a loft measuring appro...

Thank you RealHifi, I may heed your recommendation! Please let us know more about your experiences with Mahlers.

Does anyone know if Nuforce amps will be shown in any suites at RMAF in Denver next month? 
Esoteric X-01 D2
Thank you Vsfang for your words of encouragement. Unfortunately I do not own the exalted X-03, but only a lowly X-01 Limited, which is mayhaps not good enough to take significant advantage of external clocks of any kind. Furthermore, very much hee... 
Esoteric X-01 D2
"To hear is to believe!!!"I agree Vsfang; I will believe only when I hear a difference on D2 with my own ears. I heard the G0S with X-01 Limited several times on two systems and it made no difference. yet, as I also said. . . big difference on P03... 
is RMAF worth a trip
I wouldn't miss it for the World. . . my room at the Marriott has been booked since last May! My only complaint is that audiofest.net is not creating a list of exibitors on a sortable spreadsheet. . . walking around the hotel with an alphabetized ... 
Esoteric X-01 D2
I am surprised that external clocks are making a difference on the single box D2. While I concur that on P03/D03 the G-0S clock is having a very significant positive impact, I have never heard a more than imperceptible effect on X-01 Limited. I ha... 
Not Another NuForce thread......
Or is perhaps the problem a religious one? One of 'believers' vs 'unbelievers'? In which case the issue is in danger of becoming aprioristic, and as such a specious argument by definition? Whereas a different and technologically agnostic way to lo...
