| Hi-res digital audio vs sacd Though I love SACDs (physical discs), I would have to agree with the 2 posters before me. The reason for this is - it seems you do not have a single SACD. In that case, you should simply stick with DSD (if you like SACD sound) and consider a new D... | |
| Oppo UDP - 205 Ozzy,Did you compare the "audio only" of the Oppo with a CDP? Please share your findings.dbphd,Happy Birthday to you! Please share your comparisons of this player with the rest of the players in your system. | |
| AXPONA 2017 Protocol Al,Thank You for the detailed report.I think our experiences match a lot. I heard the PSB Imagine T3s on Sunday at the Saturday Exchange room. They sounded so much better than the demo I have a few weeks back. At that time the dealer was comparing... | |
| Oppo UDP - 205 They had this at the AXPONA this year. I lifted it and the weight was substantial. Hoping that this is better than the 105D that it replaces. | |
| AXPONA 2017 Protocol @astewart8944 ,Did you get a chance to listen to the ProAC D30S? I was impressed, with the speakers being driven by Naim. They sounded very dynamic. They are more up-front, than my current system. And the bottom end on these were very deep. One so... | |
| Best full range loudspeaker for the used price of 10 to 13,000 dollars @cap,I was disappointed in the Dynaudio Contour 60 demos in the 3 room. Most of it was too loud. In one room, I requested for the volume to be turned down and they seemed to loose that magic when turned down. Also, when these were driven by a pair... | |
| What is the future for Proac Speakers ? Stewart,Good to know. I was at AXPONA and visited ProMusica room 3 times to hear the ProAc D30S. It is one of the speakers that made some nice music. Keep up the good work! | |
| Good DAC for playing computer files/streaming *and* SACD discs with transport? Oppo UDP-203 + Bryston BDA-3 will do for your requirement. | |
| What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers?? @falconquest , you don't have to purchase the Clear days. Just talk to Paul at Clear Day. He will let you know which configuration will work better in your system. Then he will send you the cables, without taking your credit card information. Audi... | |
| What amp do you use with your passive pre? @georgehifi ,Your point no. 1 is so right and that is all I have focused on, since getting a TVC. GAIN - that is the important point when it comes to LDR/TVC.OP, consider the Parasound A21 which needs 1.6V for full output, I believe. Most CD playe... | |
| What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers?? Exactly like @nutty. Same configuration for speaker cable and jumper wires. Changes were as follows:The sound stage is much wider.The bass is extended.Highs were extended without being harsh.Mid range is are much cleaner and life like. Higher g... | |
| AXPONA 2017 Protocol Thanks astewart8944. | |
| I'm considering replacing my passive preamp with a tubes. Is it worth it? @wrm57,The Music First is a TVC and is not really a passive.Can you please let me know what you "lost" in sound, when you introduced the Music First in your system, compared to the VAC Phi Beta? How would you compare the Music First Vs Bent Audio ... | |
| Focal Sopra 2 vs Sopra 3? @rsf507 ,Can you please elaborate "unlistenable". That is totally NOT what I found about Sopra when setup properly. I was in a properly treated room (Vicoustic) and the Sopras sounded pretty good with a nice bottom end. The front end was Simaudio ... | |
| AXPONA 2017 Protocol @kyomi_audio Thanks for the offer. It is going to be a challenge to stay after the show. We would be visiting family as well. So my family is traveling with me. So it might not be possible.Will your shop be closed during AXPONA?@astewart8944 , I w... |
