| solid state integrateds that will hold their value @Zd, yes very true, though my Dealer looks after me. | |
| Jospeh Audio Pearl3 or Rockport Atria Thanks for your thoughtful words Hevac, and yes let's get back to helping the OP. | |
| NEED A RECOMMENDATION FOR NEW CD/SACD PLAYER If I was going for an Oppo 105, i'd wait for a good 2nd hand Modwright Oppo 105 to come up on the 'Gon as you can snap one up pretty cheap & they far exceed the sound of the stock player. | |
| solid state integrateds that will hold their value @Atmasphere, I just realized I was confusing popularity with resale value per say. I understand where you're coming from now, and you could be right as I haven't researched resale value on tube vs solid state gear. I am just approaching it from th... | |
| solid state integrateds that will hold their value @Stringreen, yeah Ayre is nice gear. | |
| Jospeh Audio Pearl3 or Rockport Atria Shakey, I don't know the history between you and Ebm, but I don't accept your definition of trolling and your disparaging remarks toward me and the other member. I am just commenting on what i've read in this thread on face value. That said, Ebm a... | |
| Jospeh Audio Pearl3 or Rockport Atria Shakeydeal, trolling is against Audiogon's TOS. I'd add to that trolls will never admit that they troll other members, and typically have many supporters. Your continued disparaging remarks toward anyone defending your target is classic trolling b... | |
| Jospeh Audio Pearl3 or Rockport Atria Shakeydeal, the fact is you attacked a member who posted a rational comment which I for one had no problem with, then attacked another member for posting a comment in thier defense. Some would call that bullying. | |
| solid state integrateds that will hold their value Atmasphere, unless you're talking about niche brands like Audio Note and Kondo, I can't agree with your statement. For a range of reasons SS integrated amps are deemed more reliable, and therefore a lower risk proposition. The majority of loudspea... | |
| Best CD transport? With that budget, if you moved on your Rotel dac, you could find a 1-2 yr old Sony XA-5400ES with the Ultimate truth mod 2nd hand in excellent condition on here if you're patient. I still think you'd achieve better sound that way, whilst adding sa... | |
| Jospeh Audio Pearl3 or Rockport Atria 08-20-14: EbmYour the big expert when you get a real system let me know!!I am 100% behind you on this one Ebm. You made a perfectly reasonable comment about Magico and Shakeydeal dismsissed your comment out of hand and labelled you a "fanboi". Som... | |
| Melbourne, Australia The AG Melbourne Chapter has been dormant for almost 2 1/2 years, however I thought I'd introduce myself here. A little bit about me. I live in Inner City Melbourne and have been an audiophile for 24 years, and into high end audio big time for the... | |
| Best products for baffle material s ? Magico got back to me and clarified the material used in the front baffle of the S5's is pure 6061 T6 aluminum which is not extruded. Interesting as the finish doesn't feel like aluminium. But today I gave it the knock test & it sure does soun... | |
| Best CD transport? Dfwlistener, if it were me & I was on a budget I would consider selling your Rotel dac, buying a new Sony XA-5400ES & sending it to Modwright to get the Ultimate Truth mod which should out-perform anything around that price point. And the ... | |
| The best CD Player for the money Hi Jafant, I have heard the previous model Vitus RCD-100 & SCD-010, Soulution 540 and the Audia Flight CD One M. Of those, the Vitus RCD-100 seemed most happy to be placed with other amps due to its neutrality, smooth sound and overall balance... |
