| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players When I do sighted A/B tests at home - which I very rarely do, because I find longer (usually measured in hours or days) experience with a component much more reliable - I always do A/B/A/B; or AA/BB/AA/BB; or A/B/B/A, etc. I do this because the se... | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Ctm_cra: thank you | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players I am very appreciative that this comparison was done; it didn't appear like advertising to me (although maybe it would have been "wiser" to have Alex leave for a few hours). I also appreciate all the follow-up questions, and the clarification of o... | |
| Elrod vs. Virtual Dynamics: Thoughts??? I never found the Elrod Signatures to be bright either. | |
| Top 5 Song Writers Of The 80's Springsteen: The River, Nebraska, BUSA, and Tunnel of Love were all released in the 80s. | |
| Looking for a bookshelf at 2k or less..... If I were you, *and* if you're not actually going to put these speakers on bookshelves, I would at least consider a used pair of Merlin TSMs. I'm not selling a used pair, by the way. Good luck. | |

| What to upgrade from Bluenote Koala? $3500 ish For $3500 (or less), you could get a used Exemplar or APL modified Denon. I highly recommend that you consider this route. Note: I am not selling either player (or any gear). Good luck! | |
| Best analog sounding cd player under 5K You might want to consider the Exemplar Denon 3910 as well. | |
| Jeff Rowland Capri preamp Hi Nolitan - What is the list price of the Capri? Thanks | |
| Jeff Rowland Capri preamp Cytocycle - Do you know what the cost of the new high-end preamp is? Thanks | |
| Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which? I would add Einstein to your tube list - to consider; and CTC Blowtorch (I believe it would have to be used,i.e. I think production has stopped) to your SS list. | |
| Esoteric X-01 SE vs EMM CDSA SE Leonx: I assume this was the standard X-01 you were comparing, i.e. not the Limited or D2? | |
| it's the ac..... I'm in agreement with regard to the value of battery power. I disagree, though, that anyone could assemble a system from 1967 that would be superior to *any* current production system. The advances in speakers and vinyl front-ends themselves are w... | |
| Wadia 861se with GNS vs Esoteric or Emm players Leonx: I'm not at all surprised that you found the 808 to be better than the X-01. The X-01 Limited might be a different story, however; and then of course there is the APL NWO 2.5 to consider as well. I wonder if anyone has actually directly comp... |
