| Pass XA 160 review:life span is 6 years? John, XA series does not replace X series. Replacement for X series is X.5 series. X150.5, X250.5, X350.5 have been released already. X600.5 is likely to be released sometimes after CES in January. | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? AVGURU, Alex and all: how is the balanced output circuitry of Esoteric DV50 and X-01 achieved? Op amps, phase splitting, or double circuitry? | |
| Pass XA 160 review:life span is 6 years? The Sun actually comes with a lifetime Warranty against manufacturer's defects, misuse, accedental breakage, gravitational collapse, supernova events, and Acts Of God. In case of Sun core failure, the star will either be serviced and fixed on site... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Thank you Alex for elaborating on your design philosophy. Guido | |
| Review: Rogue Audio Zeus Tube amp Rooze, I am here posting a dissenting voice on Zeus. I heard it driving MagnePan 3.6 and was extremely disappointed. Setup as follows:Digital sources:a. ARC CD3.b. Wadia 860.Linestage:a. noneb. ARC LS25.c. ARC Ref 2 Mk 2.Speakers:Magnepan Mg 3.6.U... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Oops, I just realized that my 3rd question may be misinterpreted as an insinuation that ModRight and Exemplar may be in the process of modifying a DV50. I have no such info, nor I have ever heard such a rumour. I meant to say that ModWright and Ex... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Thanks Alex, but. . . what about my original questions:questions:1. Ignoring obvious cost increase considerations, have you thought of trying the feasibility/results of a 'traditional true balanced design.', just purely as a proof-of-concept/sonic... | |
| Review: H2o Audio Signature Monoblocks Audiofankj, I notice you are running single ended, but H2O has both RCA and XLR inputs. Wouldn't it be beneficial to run these amps on a fully balanced system? Is the design fully balanced with simmetric/double circuitry, or is the balanced design... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Alex, two questions:1. Ignoring obvious cost increase considerations, have you thought of trying the feasibility/results of a 'traditional true balanced design.', just purely as a prrof-of-concept/sonic test, of course. 2. How much cost to the end... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Thanks Alex for the explanation. Will your 'balanced' design also supply single ended connectors in the same box? I suspect balanced vs single ended is a religious matter, as there are as many staunch defender of fully balanced approaches willing/... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? BOSA2, just a gentle reminder. Agoners and industry folks on this thread are all very busy having a lot of fun. We are welcoming you to the discussion and look forward to your next postings in the cheerful and positive mood that we all want to mai... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? The balanced output paragraph can be found by opening:http://www.aplhifi.comand going to the products page. It is immediately after the navbar.I'd be interested in reading from Alex about his new balanced design. It is quite possible that what you... | |
| Parasound - Pass Labs - VTL - Krell Amp Selection Muralman, could you pls post the URL of the new H2O review? Thanks. | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Thank you Frank, I did open the page from the address bar and found the following info about Alex's balanced output design for the APL 3910:"Unlike all of the available Balanced output machines using a simple Op Amp for Single Ended to Balanced co... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Went to Alex's web site. I confirm the option for the masterclock generator for $200 on APL 3910. On the other hand I saw no mention of a balanced output stage. Question is also: will this option be simply XLR connection, or does it involve a full... |
