| Diana Krall New CD I'm a big fan of Diana....but I'd have to agree with what has been stated above. The simplicity of her sound is lost in the over-orchestration. Oh well...maybe next time. | |
| best used transport 400-700 I'd recommend finding a used Wadia WT-3200 or a WT-2000. Several have been available recently and represent a great value in used audio. | |
| Best female vocals on CD My top 4:1. Diana Krall2. Eva Cassidy3. Nancy Wilson4. Jane Monheit | |
| Favorite sounding interconnects? I have tried many interconnects including Nordost SPM and Cardas...but for single ended RCA my absolute favorites are Pure Note Signature. I haven't heard them myself yet, but I have been told that the new Pure Note Epsilons are even better (if th... | |
| Clou Blue Jaspis for Senn HD 580/600 Headphones I learned of of the Clou Red Jaspis from this thread a few days ago...and decided to pick up a set. Wow. Improved the mids and highs of my HD 600's tremendously. Highly recommended! | |
| Any Opinions about Innersound ESL amps? I was informed that I spelled Roger's name wrong. In fact, it is Roger Sanders!!! Sorry!!! | |
| Any Opinions about Innersound ESL amps? Wow....am I happy!! Finally, an audio decision that worked out. I received my Innersound ESL Monoblocks from Innersound and I am incredibly impressed. I underestimated the difference that moving from the Marsh a400s (330 w/ch. 4 ohm)to the Innerso... | |
| Wadia : what amp / preamp ? Wadia WT-2000 tweaked by Great Northern Sound; Placette Dual Active Mono preamp; Innersound ESL Monoblocks | |
| Placette Passive Pre I have the Active dual mono. It is superb in every respect and I agree with has been said in the thread above. I would like to add that Guy Hammel (the owner, engineer) is a very nice person and is very patient answering questions. Excellent pream... | |
| Any Opinions about Innersound ESL amps? Well, based on the excellent feedback about the Innersound amps, I decided to take the plunge and order a couple of Innersound ESL Monoblocks. After I get them, I'll post a comparison with the Marsh a400s right here!! Thanks for all your help, folks! | |
| Any Opinions about Innersound ESL amps? Sean: I love the Marsh amp...but I think it does have some trouble with the voltage draw and the impedance drop of the electrostats. Before I unload the Marsh..I plan on extensively comparing it with the new amp. | |
| How is the TacT RCS 2.0 as a pre amp vs Pls1: Sounds like we have very similar electronics!! What is your source and the rest of your system like? | |
| How is the TacT RCS 2.0 as a pre amp vs Pls1 and Lornecherry: I'd like to weigh in on the issue of the DAC in the TacT (wow...that rhymes!!) and the SigTech vs. the TacT in terms of room correction. I have extensively compared the 24/96 DA converter in the TacT with the following conver... | |
| How is the TacT RCS 2.0 as a pre amp vs Pls1: Since you've used both, I'd be interested in your comparison of the SigTech and the TacT. Please give us your honest, unbiased opinion! Also, I appreciate hearing that someone else has felt some synergy between the dCS gear and Vishays. | |
| How is the TacT RCS 2.0 as a pre amp vs Drubin: I have the Placette dual mono active. The TacT...with the volume control set to 93.9 is at 0db. You can add up to 6db of gain from there...but as I described above...I run my TacT and my dCS gear at 0db and adjust volume with the placette. |
