| Audio Research Ref 3 Opinions Thank you so much Rom, the Ref 3 sounds more and more attractive. One of the probs I heard with the Ref 2 Mk. 2 was a trace of an almost glassy sheen on the instruments, almost a touch of glare. Is that gone as well? | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Doc Luke, planning to modify a modified player? You might as well admit it. You are suffering from a pernicious case of DAC, in its most advanced form. Not even Schmalttzenstein & Pugnetti have yet described as rare and devastating a case as y... | |
| Audio Research Ref 3 Opinions Rom, the observation of the Ref 2 sounding almost slightly phase-shifted and bloomy is right on. I am delighted that the minor shortcoming has been addressed in the Ref 3. How many hours have you racked up on the Ref 3 break-in this far? Are you u... | |
| Whats the word on Jeff Rowland pre-amps? Raquel, what is your opinion instead about the current JRDG top-of-the-line amps: 302 stereo and 301 monos?I currently own a pair of Rowland 7M monos and thinking about upgrading. I did hear the 201 pair. They sounded graceful but lacked depth and... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Doc Luke, how many hours of break-in time have you logged on your APL up to now?Happy tweaking!! Guido | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Folks, please concentrate on the topic at hand and avoid metadiscussions on matters that are potentially unproductive and sociological controversial, such as the nature, chemical content, and social function of beverages. Thank you for your unders... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? AVGURU, PSCIALLI had a stock Denon 2200 for a brief spell and found it rather disappointing, even after upgrading the powerchord. He is now in audio Nirvana with his ModWrite Sony 999ES Platinum. | |
| Audio Research Ref 3 Opinions As the Audio Research web site has not been updated with information on the new Ref 3 linestage, I thought of pasting here the OCRed content of the entire blurb on the device that I have recently received from Audio Research. So, here it goes. . .... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? TGUN5, I'm real proud of you! I will join you at the shootout in Chacago 'in spiritu'! | |
| Review: Esoteric DV-50 with Superclock 3 mod CD Player TGUN5, It would be very interesting to add a moded DV50 such as yours to the list of players to be compared in the upcoming shootout in the next few weeks by AVGURU and the Chicago gang.Details are posted on the long DV50 thread. | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? There is a new review of a modified DV50 with the Superclock 3 modification by Reference Mods. This is a new thread worth following.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?rdgtl&1106373263Perhaps the owner can be persuaded to participate with ... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Sorry folks, a general reminder to keep comments pure audiophilic in nature and to avoid postings concerning commercial transactions with manufacturers, or personal requeststs for transaction prioritazation. Thank you for your understanding. | |
| Pass Labs versus Jeff Rowland, Audio Research Eliahu, my experience is somewhat between cursory and extensive. I spent about 4 hours with a dealer and the 201 were among three amps I listen to. I am not sure how much the devices were broken in, but I know they had been running for several day... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? DBLD, as AVGURU mentioned I did listen to the Bel Canto PL1-A in New York, together with the Burmester 001 and the Esoteric X-01. My detailed findings are posted at the following URL:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddgtl&1090867688&... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? AVGURU, the new AIR CX-5 would be an interesting player to add to the mix.A friend of mine heard it at CES and found it to be marvellous. If you could replace UX-1 with X-01 it may be a good idea, because X-01 has twice the DACs on its two channel... |
