| DCS Scarlati v Esoteric P-01,D-01 Yes, I have compared DCS Scarlatti with P-01/D-01/G-0s. Scarlatti sounds softer and possibly more euphonic (not in a bad way). Esoteric combo is more focused due to better clock, better VRDS NEO.and outboard power supply.Feel free to email me if y... | |

| The best speaker you ever heard? B&W Nautilus (snail). | |
| Better than a CAT? I replaced my JL2 with Symphonic Line Kraft 250. It is the only solid state I could live with after CAT, and it controls my Eggleston Andra speakers much better. | |
| Esotar T-330D Tweeter Yes, it is. where did you see it? | |
| dCS stack and PS audio powerplant I have been using PP600 with Elgar+ and 972 with no problem for a while now. | |
| Urgent Please Help Eggleston Savoy Hugo:I think the best power amps for Savoy are CAT JL2/JL3. EW showed them in Las Vegas couple of years back with JL3 monos. I think you can find the photo on Audiogon show reports. It would be a much better choice then ARC, if you are going with ... | |
| CAT Preamps vs Amps CAT preamps are at least as great as the amps. I own both and i would never use another preamp with my JL2. people who say that the Ultimate is lean should look for the problems elsewhere in their systems. Indeed,it does not mask anything like som... | |
| Thoughts on the new B&W 800D series speakers Krell_man, I really don't think any current B&W are on the pair with silver sigs. I owned them for 7 years and tried every Nautilus model agains them. S7horton, I did have proper setup.........all the Nautilus speakers were broken in. Silver S... | |
| CAT Ultimate or CJ 16ls? CAT is one of the rare preamps which works in any system. There is no issues of synergy with it. I think if you compare a CJ preamp to the latest CAT ulimate MKII, it will have to be the ART. So, I think you should go with CAT. It will sound fulle... | |
| How important are transports? The quality of transport is the most important part of digital playback. I've tried various combinations of transports and DACs and every single time transports made much bigger difference. If you are investing in digital separates, spend the mone... | |
| does anyone have experence with the esoteric P70 There are few other DACs with AES 3 dual AES/EBU inputs. All DCS DACs, Meitner DAC2 and Chord DAC64 MK II among them. P 70 would work with them just fine, however the Chord has no BNC clock link. DCS and Meitner both have it. | |
| What amplifier works well with B&W 801 Matrix mkII Symphonic Line Kraft 250 would be the best choice without a doubt. It's a perfect match. And I mean in solid state. If you are considering tubes, go with CAT JL2. Either amp would do great with any B&W speakers. | |
| symphonic Line RG4 III vs RG4 IV? Gregm:Can you please tell me where did you hear the Magellans? Do you know a dealer who has them? By the way, my friend, who owns Kraft 400 with Toshibas thinks that they are more musical then the newer ones with Sunkens .Thanks,George | |
| Best power amp to match Sonus Extrema speakers Hi Semi,With all due respect to Power 3, it not even close to CAT amps which brunogolf@aol.com is suggesting. JL series are rated 100W class A but the output transformers are 55lb each and have limitless power reserve, around 500W. Ken Stevens him... |
