| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I had already advised my neighbor to pursue a Rowland Corus preamp to sublimely mate with the Veritas and the Isis. He had emailed T&F directly to ask what solid state electronics they suggest and he was informed that T&F voice the speaker... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD He's buying the Veritas off me. He a LOVED the combo. I didn't play him the Dynaudio. He was juiced for the T&F and had no interest in hearing anything else. They pushed his buttons and he was done. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thanks Wisnon. The DX has been on since Sunday and is warmed up and, I believe, ready to audition and compare. I'm hoping to get that done today. The Isis have stabilized and have sounded consistent for the past 36 hours with no discernible change... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Ah Guido, I can't afford a wife and a mistress. But I want to give both of my lusty wenches the opportunity to settle in and move past the first few dates entering into phase 2, really getting to know to her, or them. Agear - speed dating sounds f... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD CTSooner - my final decision against the Vandy 7 had to do with how their low frequency driver is implemented. I understand all the tech behind the low frequency signal attenuation prior to amplification and the fact that it "theoretically" convey... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Guys, this is not a matter of flat vs not flat. We are talking about crazy expensive, top tier product in all directions. I'm sure all of them are "flat" from the sublimely low frequency to the ridiculous ultra sonic. It's not a matter of specs, a... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD A true classic Agear! Beethoven only wished he could write quality tunes like that! | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD No more Shout. The shout is out. Just after I put the Isis in I pulled some of my newer diffusers out because I thought they were over-diffusing (I don't think thats a real term) and I didn't like what they were doing. I just left one diffuser eac... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD DAC update - i tried the Allnic D5000 today and it needs to be re-tubed. The bias was off and the bass in the right speaker flubbled and broke up badly. I can hear it has potential, but it didn't sound right from the moment I started using it and ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Agear - The distributor suggests small wood blocks. Not points. So they are on small wood blocks. I played with the placement based on his suggestions and they have opened up some. I also think running them in has helped. I'm going to hold off unt... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Agear - there is a rolled off top end that makes me feel like I'm missing something. Like I said, it's like I have earplugs in and just can't hear those top registers. Your statement is interesting about more seasoned, more mature listeners gravit... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Abe - how do I assign music folders on my Mac to play on the DX??I have folders with music files and my iTunes folder that I want to assign to the DX so I can play them and I just can't figure out how to do that. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Agear - I want to give them 2-3 days to settle. But here is a quick impression. If speakers were like electronics then the CU would be on the solid state side and the Isis would be SET tubes with base. Musical, warm, complex and layered. Like drin... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD MusicMann - I was under the impression that the Evidence was $60k. The Consequence are $70k retail. I stand corrected. But I was not blown away with the Evidence and I heard it twice. And the Kharma Exquisite speaker line is exceptional but rear p... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thanks Paul - that's VERY helpful and I think that's my issue. The shout is not all the time and it's not on every track. It's almost exclusively vocals (not all vocals, only sometimes) although I get it on occasion on clarinet or oboe. It almost ... |
