| DIY Interconnects review Sean, yes Silver Oxide is quite conductive. . . if you can get some, that is. Unfortunately the black-brown tarnish that routinely accumulates on Silver is not oxide, but a variable nasty mixture of Silver Sulphides, Silver carbonates and Silver h... | |
| ESOTERIC, WADIA -- How do they really sound? Saxo, some of the most knowledgeable agoners in matters super-high-end digital are often found to roost and cluck companionably on "Reference DACS - An Overall perspective". You may want to join in the fun and post at:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi... | |
| ESOTERIC, WADIA -- How do they really sound? Saxo, what is almost universally true is that even those digital players that have a volume control do in fact benefit from a linestage. You may think of the volume attenuator in the player as something to be used 'in a pinch'. Most of my experien... | |
| Best ICE-powered amps ? Hobby, I also like the Theta Citadels a great deal. Do you happen to know what is the technology behind them? The Theta web site is rather vague, stating only that they are based on some enhanced versions of the Dreadnaught modules. They run very ... | |
| Esoteric P70 D70 vs X-01 Limited Tboooe, I am not surprised you were not fully satisfied by Esoteric players feeding an amp directly. Even TEAC America prefers to use Linestages with these players. They seem to favor the ARC Ref 3 in particular. On the other hand, this is a very ... | |
| Best ICE-powered amps ? Hobby, what have you replaced your JRDG 501 monos with? | |
| Esoteric P70 D70 vs X-01 Limited Good points Elberoth2. It is worth pointing also out that the TEAC players are all differentially balanced designs. They will shine in systems that are fully differentially balanced. I suggest a differentially balanced linestage like the ARC Ref 3... | |
| Esoteric P/70 D/70 upgrade Which proves Mitch7711, that an 'best' player does not really exist in an absolute sense. You will have to listen to a few of these top-dogs and decide by yourself. | |
| Esoteric P70 D70 vs X-01 Limited Mitch7711, my own experience with X-01 also started in NYC, during an audition at a dealer -- Sound By Singer. Yet, in contrast with AudioOracle, I did not find the device to be mechanical at all, but exceedingly musically 'accurate' instead so mu... | |
| Esoteric DV-60 Oops, looks like my finger slipped. My finger pressed the '1' instead of '3' by force of habit. Guido | |
| Esoteric DV-60 Congrats Dave and best of luck. Please do let us know how you like the UX-1 Se as it breaks in. Be patient with it. The 100 or so hrs of breakin suggested by TEAC are for the birds. Guido | |
| A question for those who've chosen a Valhalla PC.. That's perfect Tplavas, now you have two perfectly valid contrasting opinions. Bottom line is. . . there is no replacement for your own ears. | |
| A question for those who've chosen a Valhalla PC.. Tplavas, I have in fact tried both Valhalla PC and Anaconda Helix Alpha on the X-01 player, but not during the same sitting. They are both truly great chords. I personally prefer the Helix. The Valhalla is incredibly extended and has no glare what... | |
| I've found the cd player for analog lovers Oh wow, another 'Mak Attack'! | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Sure Mak, I understand your requirements. And as I do no longer own an analog rig, nor will I own one in the future, all I can say is: no problem, No need to try to take me seriously. And quoting that pearl of modern epistemology, Douglas Adams's ... |
