| CJ ACT 2 v. VTL 7.5 v. ARC Ref 3 Neal, I have taken delivery of an ARC Ref 3 in January and am absolutely enthrolled by it. My search has lasted about three years, and has included several linestages, including VTL 7.5 and ARC Ref 2 Mk. 2. I did not consider CJ ACT 2 in the end b... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective My apologies Teajay, your info about XA100 and X350.5 was actually very useful. . . and a little depressing, as the implication may be that if I ever acquire MG 20.1 I may need to by amp them, keeping my Rowlands 7M on the bottom, with XA100 or si... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Thank you Alex, this is the first time I read a good characterization of the AD sound. A twist to the whole matter though is the fact that TEAC adopted the AD chips for the $25K P03/D03 combo. Have you heard it. I wonder at this point if TEAC is a... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Sorry Mak the analog music in your head bothers you. Perhaps you should try the kind that plays in my head. . . it is generated completely synaptically and it is truly no bother. | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Thank you very much Branimir. Yet it would be interesting to verify if the comparison with the P03/D03 still held when the X-01 is replaced with the X-01 Limited, which is in itself a significant improvement over the original. | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Very intriguing Branimir, would you mind elaborating sonic differences between P03/D03 combo and X-01 Limited? Thanks, Guido | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Thank you KOPS, unfortunately the X-03 is not even at the sonic level of X-01, which is below sonic level of X01 Limited. If the $6K X-03 sounded just as good as the $25K P03/D-03 combo I'd be truly surprised. | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Makshak, huh? I thought you had finally fallen head-over-heels in love with your APL 3910. . . hwat happened? | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Has anyone been able to compare the Teac Esoteric P03/D03 with the X-01 Limited? | |
| Review: Pass Labs XA-100 monoblocks Amplifier Teajay, could you tell us more about the audible differences between your former X350.5 and your new XA100 monos? What are the strongest features of eachunit? What difference between the two caused you to make the final swap decision? Did you find... | |
| Accuphase DP-100 DC-101 Sleeping Giant Or Dinosaur Of course Ferenc, please do tell us about your experience with your Accuphase combo. Have you been able to compare it with other more recent players? E.G. DCS stack, Esoteric X-01, etc. . .? | |
| SACD Player Shootout Makes a lot of sense 711. . . please do keep us posted! | |
| SACD Player Shootout 711, I am not sure if your silence on the subject of APL NWO-1 implies:a. You missed my original question.b. You have not ordered a unit at all.c. You Ordered one and are waiting for delivery.d. You Ordered one, received it, tried and liked it so ... | |
| SACD Player Shootout 711Smilin, didn't you have an APL NWO-1 on order? When will you be taking delivery of it? | |
| Esoteric P01 and D01 Sorry Sugarmagnolia, I have not yet had an opportunity of auditioning the P03/D03 combo, as such I truly do not have any opinion on this device as yet. |
