| Rega Saturn or Sony XA5400: Sound or features? Hi Jim, As you know, I weighed in on this a couple of times over the months because I owned both the Sony 5400 and the Rega Saturn. I will only say (again) that I preferred the Sony. That said, I could easily have lived with either. Obviously, you... | |
| KEF LS 50 in NE Ohio? Thanks, Milpai--Cleveland Plasma can order them but they do not stock them. Too bad. | |
| Audio Research SP17 or Modwright LS100? Lots of sage advice so far. For whatever MY experience is worth (granted, probably not much due to our systems and ears being quite different), I have an A-21 amp driving a pair of old Thiel 3.6s. I had a used SP-17 on demo at home for a while and... | |
| KEF LS 50 in NE Ohio? LOL--I can't recall ever posting a "what would you do?" question that didn't elicit an almost equal number of "do it" and "don't do it" responses. That's why I want to hear a pair. Anyway, thanks for the input so far. | |
| Sony XA5400ES vs Rega Saturn:Which sounds better?? As I wrote in your last go 'round with this subject, I have owned both the 5400 and the Saturn. I respectfully disagree with Don C55'a comment that the Saturn is "run of the mill mid-fi." I thought it was a darned good sounding player. I ended up ... | |
| Parasound ZDAC VS. "new and improved" Bifrost? Thanks, Teajay. Yes, i read your review. Correct me, but that was the non-upgraded Bifrost you had, wasn't it? | |
| Has anyone heard the DSPeaker? I've read lots of great feedback about the quality of the EQ function, but the major reviews seem to gloss over how the DAC sounds. Would love to hear from more folks who are using the DAC, too. | |
| Preamp for Parasound A21? I use an A-21 with a pair of Thiel 3.6s. I initally auditioned a used Audio Research SP-17 that sounded fantastic, but the owner would not lower the price below $2000. I ended up with an SP-16 instead. Not quite as special overall, but still excel... | |
| Rotel RCD-1072 vs Sony XA5400ES Zd542, no disrespect was intended, so I hope none was taken. Having heard both players, your feedback may be exactly what the OP was looking for. | |
| Rotel RCD-1072 vs Sony XA5400ES With all due respect to the OP--I'm not sure there's much, if any, value to answers you get to "which is better?" questions. As many have said a million times in the past, it depends on the room, the associated gear, personal subjective tastes, et... | |
| Major upgrade from Rega Apollo: Which one? I went from a Rega Saturn to a Sony 5400 and was very pleased. I recently sold the Sony to finance a computer/DAC project, but I *really* miss the Sony and may end up buying another one. All of that said, as always, you would have to hear it in yo... | |
| Opinion Needed I recently sold my 5400 to finance a computer/ipad/DAC project. I really miss it. I haven't decided which DAC I will buy to replace it, but a part of me is tempted to go back and buy another 5400. | |
| Waterlogged Thiel CS-3.6 You didn't, by chance, have a pair of Sound Anchors stands for those 3.6s did you? Thanks. Jon | |
| Vinyl to Digital: Software or USB Converter? Audacity, which is free and easy-to-use, would also work very well for running from your preamp directly into the Mac. | |
| DAC to replace Sony 5400 The Oppo looks interesting but does not do AIFF if (I'm not mistaken.) All of my files so far have been ripped to AIFF files. |
