| Denon 380 DCM CD Player Generally speaking, whether you're able to maximize your DAC's performance is related to your transport quality. 5-disc carousels unfortunately, generally have worser quality than single disc transports. With that in mind, there are probably bette... | |
| Review of Dartzeel NHB-108 Amplifier Keithr, I would love to see some measurements too. But my own in-room measurements mimic the positive feedback reviewer's. There's some output below 30hz, but as the speakers are rated to go down to 35hz, it's only natural that that is about where... | |
| Best SACD player for the money - Marantz SA-11S1 Let me clarify what I'm saying so you TRL fans don't attack me. I contacted Paul about 3 months ago, when they just finished the 595 mod. At that time, Paul considered the unit to be pretty much the best unit to mod. Like you said Lkdog, "the [595... | |
| Best SACD player for the money - Marantz SA-11S1 DCaudio, that's EXACTLY what I am talking about. Again, I do not doubt TRL's abilities or Paul's knowledge. Nor do I doubt the value of his mods. Perhaps Paul doesn't mod every player but he can/will mod many players, especially Sony models. Like ... | |
| Best SACD player for the money - Marantz SA-11S1 DCaudio, I'm not necessarily saying that the mods would be better. In fact, it depends on how much you believe in the work of the individual modders. If say the TRL mods are as good as some people like Lkdog claims it is, then modding your 555ES w... | |
| Best SACD player for the money - Marantz SA-11S1 Dcaudio, you forget that your 555ES is a much cheaper player than all of the players that have been mentioned. A lot has happened since 2001, but that has nothing to do with how good the 555ES is. There isn't a stock player that goes for the same ... | |
| What screen to buy with $1500????? I would go with front projection, but raise the budget a bit. Big improvements can be had if you increase your budget by another $1000 or so for a better projector and a screen. Otherwise, you can't even be close to beating a tube CRT for the pric... | |
| Review of Dartzeel NHB-108 Amplifier Keithr, the 3.2s are rated to go down to 35hz. And in my room has output below that. I don't know where you got the impression that the speakers only go down to 50hz.Howie; Musicians don't need me if they want to play with themselves. this is true... | |
| Review of Dartzeel NHB-108 Amplifier Cinematic Systems, do not twist everyone's statements out of context and use it to make broad sweeping statements about one's meaning. I can do the same and declare that your statement that seems to imply that jazz musicans don't know what they're... | |
| Review of Dartzeel NHB-108 Amplifier I still wouldn't put it that way. Musicians doesn't NEED anybody really. Many musicians didn't get to where they are because they wanted to have a record out. Hell, many of them actually don't care whether or not there's an audience. Music is play... | |
| Review of Dartzeel NHB-108 Amplifier Whoa Cinematic_Systems, can you even read my post before you start barking? Where did I give you the impression that I was trying to "elevate" myself into the creative process? All I did was quote Bill Evans. I find his comments enlightening but I... | |
| Review of Dartzeel NHB-108 Amplifier Cinematic Systems, critical listening is NOT the easy part. Bill Evans once said "I do not agree that the layman's opinion is less of a valid judgement of music than that of the professional musician. In fact, I would often rely more on the judgem... | |
| Review of Dartzeel NHB-108 Amplifier Cinematic Systems, you forget that Mike also has the Tenor 300 hybrids and I think Mike has had guests bring over amps to audition as well. It's hard to believe that a different amp can help add that much extra bass. Nothing I've read/heard tells ... | |
| Review of Dartzeel NHB-108 Amplifier Sirspeedy, I am in no position to comment on what is behind a reviewer's endless mentioning, but I do know that many audiophiles, including reviewers, can be excited and genuinely are in love with certain products. So I actually don't have too man... |
