| Ayon CD2 is AMAZING 03-18-11: MacdudeIt looks like a Raysonic. When you spend that much on a player or dac, you're buying the whole package. Just look at the Chord QBD76. It's beautiful.I've been eyeing the Skylla, and I'd really like to try it out. But couldn't have... | |
| Ayon CD2 is AMAZING Well Budt, I am one of those members who, by your forensic comments, might be accused of commenting mostly on Ayon players and little about other gear. But despite your belief members like me are actually Ayon stooges, i'm sorry to say Inspector J... | |
| mcintosh mcd-1100 vs ayon cd5s, audio aero cpdplay Hi Audiofreak, I managed to dig out my old listening notes from the a-b-a test I did when I sold my old CD-5 vs the buyer's Audio Aero Prestige - The buyer was using an Audio Aero Prestige player and we a-b-a tested it on the same music & the ... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference Hi Glai, that's interesting and implies the Brinkmann is more sensitive to line noise. Picking up on earlier discussion about the differences in the belt drive vs direct drive approach, I received this reply directly from Transrotor in response to... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference Hi Lewm, that's intersting! From your comments, the Bardo is obviously an excellent table straight out of the box, however fate obviously played a part in my decision to go for the TR. Still I will keep an eye on this thread, it would interesting ... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference Thanks for your comments Audioquest, yes I must admit I was surprised by the vividness and obvious lack of compression from vinyl when I first heard the Fat Bob Plus. The 'Plus' gives little away to the Reference, and i'm using the same tonearm &a... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference Hi Lewm, well no that's not exactly the case. The FB Reference & Bardo tables at list are similar in price, but with the FB Ref you're getting a reference power supply & very good tonearm for the same price, whereas a reference ps & hi... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference Hi Audioquest,Thanks for your insightful comments. I had a read of your review of your Apollon table which is very nice btw! I can understand why your platter might require a bit of a nudge to get going after the belts get older; the 80mm platter ... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference Hi Lewm, thanks for the clarification about the stretch you were commenting on. I guess what you fall back on is Transrotor have been building turntables for 40 years, so that's got to account for something. Still I do admire the Bardo which I thi... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference Hi Lewm, reading your comments it would seem on paper the Bardo's direct drive system is technically superior to the Fat Bob Reference, however i'm not so sure the TR's belt drive would suffer from "stretchiness" since it uses a much shorter preci... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference Hi Jeffl, thanks for your comments. You've got a very nice system btw! I think you're right; TR tables, espcially FB tables are HUGE in Germany, but not as well known outside Europe. I agree, the TR are beautifully engineered & look great, but... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference Thanks Mark, but i'm keen to hear from those outside the Industry about the differences in these two tables and hopefully ascertain which sounds better :) | |
| Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference Anyone had the chance to hear both of these tables? Would appreciate any opinions. Cheers! | |
| Jeff Rowland Synergy IIi versus Capri and Corus? Hi Optimus, I agree with your comments. Rowland have really impressed me with their latest line, and the stand out for me in terms of pure value was the Corus pre. I run a Modwright KWA-150 amp which is a perfect match for my Marten Coltrane Altos... | |
| Ayon CD5 or a super DAC with high resolution files Junglern, in regard to RB only, do you own any SACDs? If not, and you don't listen to a lot of classical & jazz (which makes up most SACD titles), it is unlikely you'll miss SACD. Also remember you can still buy many audiophile RB titles if yo... |
