| EMM DCC2 & Learning Remote Rcr,the Meitner/emmlabs Dac's (both the DCC2 and the DAC6e/DAC6) will play redbook with any transport that can output a digital signal.....but it will not be optimized.the reason is that the emmlabs DAC's are designed for the transport to operate ... | |
| Best Plasma sony,pioneer.Panasonic ? i spent about 6 months looking at the various choices of 42" and 50" plasmas. did all the reasearch.....lurked at the avs forum.i bought the Fujitsu P50XHA30WS 50" and am totally satisfied. the 42" version had the same advantages over the competit... | |
| Receiver Rotel? and Speakers Maggies? for HT? Exertfluffer, have you heard the current versions of Rotel Receivers, processors and amps?i am no Rotel champion.....only a satisfied customer of the RSX-1056. i have not heard recent NAD or the Outlaw products. i am just curious whether your gene... | |
| Receiver Rotel? and Speakers Maggies? for HT? i recently purchased the Rotel RSX-1056 for my 3rd system in my family room. this is currently just 2-channel with a 50" Fujitsu P50XHA30WS plasma.....it is installed in a closed cabinet with minimal ventilation. the RSX-1056 sounded better than i... | |
| Review: Wilson Audio X-2 Alexandria Speaker fantastic review Mike! i got a real sense of just what these babies can do. your reference to the strengths of the Tenor OTL's and Kharma Exquisite's gives me a sense of exactly what you are hearing.i hope to hear the X-2's for myself soon.btw, yo... | |
| what preamp for Tenor 150Hps or 300Hp ? well.....as the original Tenor/Kharma guy......i have always personally preferred my humble Placette passive RVC as the ultimate Tenor/Kharma preamp. i currently have the Tenor hybrid 300 mono's with Exquisite 1D's.the beauty of the Tenor/Kharma c... | |
| Out of production reference turntables i hope i didn't give you the impression that i was in any way upset. in fact, it would be great if the SOTA is advanced.....and i can't think of a nicer guy than Paul to do it.my point was that Paul was basing his opinion on hard-drive performance... | |
| Ella Fitzgerald Classic 45 it has been out of print for 5 or 6 years. on Ebay or Audiogon it has sold for around $200 to $350. my back-up copy is not for sale.i have never heard a better sounding record. | |
| Out of production reference turntables jes45, my doubts about Paul's digital being better stem from the fact that Paul's context is while using a hard drive into the Meitner and into his dac. since Paul doesn't have a transport that will input consumer software into the Meitner (the be... | |
| ARC vs Atma-Sphere and ARC vs VTL Amplifiers Hi hifi....it would be helpful to list your speakers and approximate room size. or maybe at least an idea of some speaker choices. the Atmasphere MA1 has some sonic attributes that i prefer generally to the ARC and VTL.....but is quite affected by... | |
| Ella Fitzgerald Classic 45 that is the complete package. it is my ultimate test for system neutrality. Ella's voice is ALL there.....and anything that gets in the way or colors it jumps right out.i call it the 'Ella' test.....and many pretty damn good pieces didn't pass thi... | |
| Out of production reference turntables no, i've only read about that rumor on the web recently. i do know Paul but never heard him speak about making a tt. i've been out of circulation for the last year or so.....maybe it's out there.Paul came to our local club meeting last year and di... | |
| Out of production reference turntables Bob, thanks for the explaination. i now understand what you mean't. i must admit to not haveing heard a tt that is more 'propulsive' or 'revealing of the energy of a recording' than my Rockport. these issues are central to my musical enjoyment....... | |
| Out of production reference turntables Bob, any generalized putdown like "tuneless"......especially based on a brief, totally unqualified and nonspecific experience......begs for an 'ad hominem comment'......don't you think? if you take cheap shots you gotta be able to handle the blowb... | |
| Out of production reference turntables "Only heard a Rockport briefly and thought it excellent but tuneless"......now there is a credible piece of info.....spoken like a true Naim 'crazy'. the Rockport will simply reveal what the Lp, cartridge and phono stage is telling you. it really ... |
