| Question for Cary 306SACD owners In his Positive Feedback review, Dave Clark recommends the 512 setting. In my own experience, this setting sounds good on virtually all redbook discs. In truth, however, I have switched back in forth endlessly between all of the settings and I am ... | |
| Ayre C 5xe Universal vs. Cary 306 SACD Thanks for asking Kops. I connect the players through a balanced input, although my preamp only allows for one such connection. In order to make comparisons fair, and although it takes longer to make a switch, I will change interconnects, rather t... | |
| Ayre C 5xe Universal vs. Cary 306 SACD I actually own both players - the Ayre C5Xe and the Cary 306 SACD. I've had both of the players for over a month now. They are both unbelievably good!Thus far the major difference appears to be that the Cary is more dynamic and possesses more "sla... | |
| Is There any Truly "High End" Integrated Amp? Someone wrote me this morning and suggested that the SimAudio Moon I-7 (apparently a "brand new" integrated amp) is the equal of any on the market and better than SimAudio's own comparably priced separates (the P5 & W3).Has anyone heard this amp? | |
| Is There any Truly "High End" Integrated Amp? I have recently heard some very good things about the new Gamut DI-150 integrated amp that was introduced at CES. Is anyone familiar with that amp?It is supposed to be a combination of the Gamut D-200 Mark III amplifier and the D3 PreAmp on one ch... | |
| Budget Amp for Avalon Eidolon Obviously, the Avalon Eidolon is much too good a speaker to use with a "budget" amp. The better the amp, the better the Eidolon sound - - - however - - - there are a number of very good amps that may be purchased for under your $10,000 figure.I so... | |
| Wilson Watt Puppy 8 Speakers Let's hope that they will use a new tweeter. The Focal titanium inverted dome tweeter that Wilson (and others) have used for years, is an old design and has an inherent harshness that drives some people (me included) up the wall. . | |
| Why so many JM Labs Electra LE Be's for sale? They are apparently being closed out because the new Electra speakers (1009 & 1027) have the beryllium tweeter - and I have been told that the new speakers "sound better" than the older "anniversary" Electra speakers.I have a pair of the older... | |
| Spectral Audio users need your input I am a very happy Spectral owner/user (DMC-30SL preamp & DMA 250 amp) and I have found a number of digital players that work very well.You might look at a thread I started on the Esoteric DV-50s modified, currently on this forum. The Esoteric ... | |
| Esoteric DV-50s Modified by Reference Audio Mods Dvavc,I still own the Musical Fidelity A-5 and still like it very much. When I wrote the remarks relative to that machine back in January, I didn't yet own the Esoteric. I bought the Esoteric in March and had it modified a month or so later. I pur... | |
| Esoteric DV-50s Modified by Reference Audio Mods Gee, Alex, I am not sufficiently technically oriented to be able to describe or understand much of what you said or what you asked. My technical ability starts and ends with plugging a unit into my system and impatiently waiting for the thing to w... | |
| Esoteric DV-50s Modified by Reference Audio Mods Thanks for your inquiry - NO, I AM NOT EVEN REMOTELY RELATED TO DOUG JESSE OR REFERENCE AUDIO! Never met the man, but he is very helpful and responsive on the telephone and answers e-mails quickly. He also does good work on stereo equipment. I am ... | |
| Best solid state pre-amp below US $ 10.000,00 ?? The best preamp under $10,000 and actually, one of the best at any price is: THE SPECTRAL DMC30SL.I replaced an $18,000 Levinson No. 32 (with phono stage) with the Spectral and never looked back. I also owned a Krell KCT and the Spectral is in ano... | |
| Integrated Amp Phono sections The A5 phono stage is good - but is moving magnet only. I own an A-5 and bought a Lukaschek step-up device for use with moving coil cartridges - It is now great. |
