Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3 In my reference system that is highly resolving, I like the top of the line Jay's Audio transport a bit more than the Project RS2 transport. Both though are excellent. Personal sonic preferences will determine which one u like best. Hands down,... | |
I am so happy..... I was happy with my reference system until I wasn’t. It sounded good but now, for sure, sounds better. It is unusual for many audiophiles to hold the line against the bug to do so. However, with a thriving used audio equipment softens the financia... | |
Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200) There are audiophiles who have taken apart the Voyager GAN amp and have been critical of its construction. I don’t know if they listened to it or not. I have a modded (by EVS) and can say unequivocally that for just under 3K invested, including mo... | |
Tonality of Jay's Transport? My Jay's transport plays FLAC files from JRiver that I burn without problem. | |
Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? How about because it is hard to do. I am a clinical research scientist as well and have a deep appreciation of biased ascertainment of endpoints. Nevertheless, it is fairly easy for me to hear differences in amps, preamps, dacs and CD transports ... | |
Sad to say I need a new amp… @wb27 so when the wife/spouse says why are u spending big dollars on an amplifier u have a much better excuse than most of us. I tell my wife, I just wanted another amp. At least u can say that your amp died on you! | |
Project CD Transport Service @wharfy I did something to the power supply during set up. Very nice sounding player but I just dont know that it is very robust. I ordered a Linear power supply which I had planned to do anyways for better sonics. It will be about a month before ... | |
Project CD Transport Service @charles1dad THANKS! | |
Tonality of Jay's Transport? @stuartk I struggle with the ergonomics and sturdiness of the Project transport, at least the RS2T. I have their slot loading transport in another system and while small I like it better from a functional use standpoint. You hit on another impor... | |
Project CD Transport Service @Wharfy thanks for your response. I think I messed up the power supply so I will first replace the wall wart with the Linear Tube Audio linear power supply. | |
Inexpensive speaker cables: any experience? Not sure what your definition of inexpensive is. However, I will offer up some suggestions: 1) Zavfino Prima....., 2) Grover Huffman Pharoah cables, and 3) Cullen silver/copper cables. The good thing about the contemporary audio scene is the u... | |
Tonality of Jay's Transport? @stuartk @Nonoise I try and describe what my ears hear and my brain prefers with an accurate characterization as to why I prefer a certain audio presentation. I also prefer to stay away from some of the toxic interchanges that occur in this for... | |
Tonality of Jay's Transport? I have both. Jay's for sure is built like a tank compared to the Project. In my reference though they sound different, the choice of which one u like will boil down to personal preference. In my best system, I like the Jay's a bit better. It g... | |
peachtree gan 400 is very good At some point I might pick up the Peachtree GAN amplifier. The LSA Voyager GAN sounds to me like the love child of a high caliber contemporary tube amp and excellent class A solid state amp - minus the balls to the wall low end. I either hated o... | |
Warning for Revel lovers Rough story. Now u could of bought my heavenly sounding modded Revel F208s that my Spatial X5s have replaced.... |
