| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? that's what I don't get....a lot of the universal players including the X01 covert DSD back into PCM. If so, what's the point? Meitner and Sony obviously don't. APL, Exemplar have no idea. I suspect as someone said earluer Av guru has bit the tube... | |
| Top Ten Electronic/alternative Albums I too luv jazz.rock.blues and have experimented w/ electronica...as such I tend to get into those with elements of jazzAmong them by far the best I've heard is the Cinematic Orchestra...stunning stuff. St.Germain's "Tourist" is also quite good. Tw... | |
| Candidates for Re-mastering? Cool, thank you | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Try Meitner gear transport CSDC plus DAC6 (mutilchannel) or DCC2 (2 channel DAC + pre-amp). Though u have specified one box solutions the combined cost is not out of whack compared to some of the pricer one box players like Burmester, mbl etc..eve... | |
| Candidates for Re-mastering? thanx for the redtrumpet tip Tomryan. Will check it out. Here is another one; Mahavishnu Orchestra. The CDs of Innermounting Flames etc sound like garbage: especially for thei stype of music where there is so much going on, it really needs instrum... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Avguru, have u had the chance to audition EMM Labs gear? Many in audiogon and others swear by it as I do (the new transport + DCC2). So I guess doesn't qualify for u as its two boz solution? But given it doesn't require a pre-amp (DDC2 has pre-amp... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Though I have not personally heard it, many I know swear by the Reimyo CDP-777 for single box CD only player sweepstakes. | |
| Review: Emm Labs DCC2 DA converter Can we all just stick to the equipment and music, please! Tit for tat, name calling etc I find all too boring and childish. I must say I do have to thank Tireguy and a few others who have been touting CDSC-DDC2 including some prof reviewers: I did... | |
| Best of both worlds?? Dreaming perhaps?? Why not check out Merdian gear? | |
| Music you would like to turn someone on to. Secret Machines, Kings Of Covenience | |
| Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green Clapton was great...WAS....it seems to me he only reached great heights when he was pushed by a formidable partner in his own band...Cream (Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker), Bluesbreaker days (John Mayall) etc. In a way, Paul McCartney was the same: he n... | |
| Meitner DCC2 Thanx for the feedback: look fwd to your conclusions, Lugnut. I am getting my CDSD-DCC2 in a couple of days now. Its been almost a 3 month wait: I live in HK and they had to adjust power supplies for non US customers apparently. Can't wait! | |
| Meitner EMM DAC6e Redbook Performance What about DCC2's preamp musicality? Has anyone just used the pre-amp function and connect to power amps, sans another pre-amp,unlike rgwrjs? Or would u recommend using another quality pre-amp?I have ordered both CDSD and DCC2...have been waiting ... | |
| Shop w/me Well the Kharam 2.3 Fs have arrived. The retailer loaned me a Hartley tube CD player and a CJ tube pre-amp (17s) to use for the time being until I settle on the front end. This system made very good sound, and I love the Kharma's but the Hartley C... | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? Boldstrummer: I am not saying technical proficiency is easy at all...but I still think an artist has to go beyond that to be great. Classical guitarists should be no different...its the case in any art form. |
