| CES 2013 - 4k and Ultra HD video thoughts Wait 2 or 3 years and all this talk will be meaningless. | |
| CES 2013 - 4k and Ultra HD video thoughts Your not even close. People were happy with their old tv's and then when HD came out, it took time but masses started buying in groves. This will happen with 4K, but not for a few years until it is less costly and when software is available. I lov... | |
| Magico S5 review TAD best sound at CES, not a chance. That award goes to the Absolare room with the Rockport Speakers and the MSB DAC transport. Its the best sound I heard at any CES and I have been going for 25 years. | |
| Recommendation for new 5-ch Amp I had the Classe 5 channel amp and I am now using the Butler 5150 which I like much better. | |
| Sound of transformers in preamps? Very interesting thread. I have owned many preamps without interstage transformers (Audio Research, CAT, VTL, Conrad Johnson, Presence. When I received my VAC Sig. Preamp it had the best sound and uses the dreaded interstage transformer. Kevin Hay... | |
| Looking for a power conditioner/regenerator/filter I use to think the same thing about the Richard Gray that it was thin sounding. My system now is all VAC and I can tell you that the Richard Gray made a huge improvement. It takes away a slight edge or brightness in the upper mids or grain that I ... | |
| Tube Pre-Amp Recommendation Dragon vibe, I agree with you. A small two man company has nothing to do with it. Just look at Presence Audio or First Sound. Emanuel Go is a one man team and he has a nice website that shows specs, pictures, and describes the circuit. So yes it c... | |
| Tube Pre-Amp Recommendation The only one on your list that I'm not crazy about is the Einstein. I feel it is to forward and a little on the brighter side of neutral. | |
| $18k Tube preamp for large scale symphonies please Yes we will talk at the show, thank you. | |
| Tannoy Westminster amp matching question. Maril555 I assure you Charles1dad's system is not lean or lacking in dynamics. I have heard the Coincident system at many CES shows and can tell you that the sound you hear thin and aggressive is what I also heard. I know Isreal likes to use the E... | |
| $18k Tube preamp for large scale symphonies please Atmasphere, why don't you bring 3 different balanced interconnects to CES and let us see if you can hear differences. This can be done after hours. | |
| $165k - $200k speaker performance for $40k ? Bhobba, you are right on the mark. This is almost another troll post. Just because a speaker is 100,000.00 does not make it great. I will say again don't listen to reviewers and go to as many HI FI shows that you can go to and listen for yourself.... | |
| Modded 103 & 105 Oppo's? Modright and their is already a waiting list. | |
| VAC Owners:Outboard Phono Stage? You know its going to be a phono stage and probably a preamp. I hope Kevin listened to me last year to come out with a totally dual mono preamp including dual mono power supplies. I just will have to see for myself at CES 2013. | |
| D2v vs Classe ssp800, which would you prefer? You will love it. I think you will find the voice to sound more natural and clear. Does the XTZ EQ do five channels? |
