| Kenwood KD-500 My KD-500 had an Infinity Black Widow arm- anyone remember those? | |
| Is it advisable to power down CDP/Transport? Laser would not be on unless the drive were engaged (i.e. actively reading a disc- not in pause or stop). I think this is right. | |
| Calling all Accuphase cdp owners I am running the 75V directly into an Accuphase A-50V power amplifier via single ended outputs/inputs. Interconnect is a 1.5m run of Nordost Quatro-fil (sp?). I typically do most critical listening between 15 and 20 on the 75V's display. Backgroun... | |
| Calling all Accuphase cdp owners I have owned three Accuphase cdp's: DP-65, DP-75 and now the DP-75V. I have used two linestages (Presence Deluxe Linestage, Jeff Rowland Synergy II with optional battery power supply) and in each case I have found that the players sounded better r... | |
| Does It Make Sense to Purchase Dunlavy Speakers If driver failure were an overiding concern, ultra-high end speaker manufacturers would be out of business overnight IMO. Many of these companies are ephemeral at best and won't be around in another 10 years. On the other hand, I do think that Sea... | |
| Accuphase 85 or 75v...or EMC-1? Sorry, but there is no way that the DP-55 is better than the DP-75V. The DP-55 uses the older MMD conversion process vs. the MDS system as implemented in all of Accuphase's latest generation DAC's (including the DC-330). I suspect there was a prob... | |
| Virtually lost, a minimalist cries out for "help." With respect to the Accuphase units (I have personally owned the DP-65, DP-75 and now DP-75V), I have never heard of any complaints concerning loss of bit resolution or negative sonic consequences of their digital volume control. It is my understa... | |
| Anyone listen to the new Accuphase DP-77 CD Player The sound of the 85 and 75V are very close on redbook cd's. The 75V was dropped due to the unavailability of the transport mechanism. I am very confident that the 75V will remain as the best dedicated redbook cd player in the history of Accuphase ... | |
| Christmas Music "Acoustic Carols for Christmas" by St. Agnes Fountain (David Hughes, Chris Leslie, Julie Matthews, Chris While). Superb performances and exceptional sound quality- true audiophile nirvana. Available thru The Folk Corporation. | |
| Review: Avalon Acoustics Radian Speaker IMO your experience w/ the Opus and Eidolon designs is adversely colored due to room or system dependency issues. I think your experiencwe w/ the toe-in angle supports this- these are fussy speakers in terms of set-up, as are most ultra high-end d... | |
| Any comments = Gateway 42-Inch Plasma TV under 3K Saw the product announcement on audiorevolution.com. The set is not HDTV compatible- a good product description can be found on www.gateway.com. | |
| Sony DVP-S9000ES vs DVP-NS999ES Images displayed on HDTV compatible widescreen sets (from DVD players ouputting 480p) are better than any film experience. That does not speak to the video quality of your 9000ES (as compared to other players with the ES designation or Pioneer Eli... | |
| Sony DVP-S9000ES vs DVP-NS999ES Philojet- You said you preferred the Sony sound but the Pioneer had the better picture, yet you purchased the Sony. Don't you think that the component video would be preferable to the S-video connection? Also while I appreciate your opinion on sou... | |
| Sony DVP-S9000ES vs DVP-NS999ES I really want the comments to focus on video playback (not sure what you mean by multichannel playback on redbook). Also does anyone have experience with the Pioneer Elite players (45A and 47Ai as alternatives to the 9000ES and NS999ES respectively). | |
| SF Guarneri Homage "What tweeter do they use?" I believe it uses the Esotar- the same tweeter used in the Extrema. When the Guarneri came out the Extrema was still in production- the Esotar is a driver that Franco Serblin had some experience with. |
