Emo has just completed the "39" firmware upgrade to match the Oppo 103 lip sync issue. Good stuff.We can't afford to buy the XPR-1 pair with out giving up the 333.5. Mary is e... | |

| Is the CD and DVD/Bluray going away? Hi Theo,Shakedown, TpreavesThumb drives would be a lot quicker and hopefully offer better performance over disks. We just acquired an Emotiva UMC-200 pre/proc. I was told by an industry insider CD/DVD/Blurays will disapear in the near future in fa... | |
| Levinson 333.5 vs. Emotiva XPA 1 Monoblocks Hi Brad;I agree with your observations. My circumstances have caused me to consider alternatives. As unthinkable as you know, things happen which may cause us, an Audio/Video Phile married couple to reconsider our requirements. I have a friend who... | |
| VPI motor popping noise upon startup/shut off The popping sound is comming through the Velodybe DEQ 12R subwoofer, which has a shielded power cord. The sub does not have a third prong. It shares the home theater power outlets. The sub interconnects are currently connected from the Audio resea... | |
| Power Cord for Esoteric DV-50 Hi Alpha3,Thanks to a good friend, all my front end gear has the Emotiva power cords. They gave my wife and I a serious "wow factor" and at a ridiculously affordable cost.http://emotiva.com/shop/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=71 | |
| Ice h2O S250 digital amp vs Levinson 333.5 Hi Dob;Yes, 2 minutes after I let the thread fly I realized I did not mention we are pushing Thiel 3.6'sThanks | |
| Digital Amps vs Solid State Amps Thanks all for your thoughts;I believe the digital amp technolody has a ways to go. Linn started the idea in the mid 90's. Perhaps in 5 to 10 more years of product developement all the questtions of power supplies and perhaps hybrid designs will e... | |
| Review: Clearaudio Maestro Cartridge Phaser,I can vouch for your positive review of the Clearaudio Maestro. We are on our 3rd unit. It is incredible. Thanks for your review. | |
| Clearaudio Virtuoso vs. Maestro Hi Honest1The first Maestro was damaged by the stupid factor involving me, the Cardas Sweeper Record and a friend. The second Maestro had about five years on it and again, the stupid factor with myself and the same friend took over and I allowed t... | |
| Denon DL 106 vs Clearaudio Maestro Wood Thanks HDM,I made the correction. | |
| Clearaudio Virtuoso vs. Maestro I've owned both and am waiting on my 3rd replacemnet Maestro Wood. If I do anything different, I might try the retipping by Soundsmith with the special V tip. I have not heard a better MM cart than the Maestro. The best cart I have experienced was... | |
| Benz Wood SH vs Clearaudio Maestro Wood Cartridge Hi Buconero117; I paid more for the Grado Reference Master and we prefer the Maestro Wood, even though the Maestro was more "Bugetable." I believe the real audio rip-offs are cables/interconnects; such high prices for fancy plastic braiding. Also,... | |
| Levinson 333.5 vs. Krell FPB 200, 250, or 300 amp? Hi Sam;We had a ML 38S with ML-2's. I traded for the ML 333.5,I ran the 390S direct since I could not afford a linestage. eventually I ended up with an Audio Research LS2B MKII with a single 6922 tube. Steve Huntley at Great Northern Sound Coumpan... | |
| Levinson 333.5 vs. Krell FPB 200, 250, or 300 amp? Hi Frank and Sam;It seems that the 333.5 is rare. The .5 upgrade makes a huge difference. The 331 seems to be a bit diminished as compared to the 333. The Krell models are most likely a very good alternative and Nelson Pass has earned a greal deal... |
