| The Emotiva XSP-1 Gen 2 Balanced Preamplifier Yes we now own the XSP-1 Gen 2. It's better than Baklava. | |
| Emotiva XSP-1 vs XSP-1 Gen 2 I love Tubes, particularly in a phono stage. As far as Tubes in an amp, great. My only issue with tube amps might be the 300b tubes and other great tubes. It seems impossible to purchase Telefunken, and Siemens level of tubes which were recently m... | |
| Emotiva XSP-1 vs XSP-1 Gen 2 Runin;You seem like a very bitter person, and I do not feel that I or anyone else needs to justify anything to you. On the flip side our Thiel 3.6's are at an efficiency of 87 dB, and are rated at 500 watts into 4 ohms. When I tell you that the XP... | |
| Emotiva XSP-1 vs XSP-1 Gen 2 Runnin;Do you know the difference between loud and detail, staging, depth, 3D holographics, deep base detail, high hats shimmering? More power allows more headroom, and greater control over the speakers. I use a decibel meter and keep the sound le... | |
| Emotiva XSP-1 vs XSP-1 Gen 2 Runnin;My question was:In comparison, how does the XSP-1 Gen 2 perform with respect to the depth, holographics, 3 dimensionality, and staging as compared to the Original.Can you answer that question??? | |

| Emotiva XSP-1 vs XSP-1 Gen 2 Tjassoc;The speakers are Thiel 3.6 which we never properly heard prior to the XPR-1's. The cabling is Audio Art from Rob FritzThe Amps which you are asking about are Mark Levinson 333.5 dual-monaural (the upgraded version $11,000), Mark Levinson M... | |
| Bad experience with Emotiva UMC-200 We own a UMC-200. Only issue was a software update required a return. The UMC-200 is fantastic and so is their service department. The new XMC-1 is made here in the U.S.A.https://emotiva.com/products/pres-and-pros/xmc-1 | |
| Audio Selection Bitstream vs Auric Illuminator Thanks Branislav;Interesting reading | |
| VPI Scout vs VPI Scout 1.1 Hi Again;As great as the Scout is, the Scout 1.1 is worth having even more. I must agree with Zd542 in that the Regular Scout is definitely a worthy performer. The Scout 1.1 offers a more refined picture into the musical performance. | |
| VPI Scout vs VPI Scout 1.1 Thanks;We'll be able to answer my own question in a week. | |
| Home HD digital FM Tuner Thanks Mofimadness;Any clue why the HD FM market is exclusively targeted for car audio head units and not home audio? | |
| Darbee DVP 5000 and an OTA Digital Tuner Hi Elescher;If we can get the VT calibrated, we will be able stick the Darbee in the signal-path and sit back and become "The Cheshire Cats." We purchased the DVE digital calibration Bluray. Great for the basics. |
