| Downsizing from Audio Research REF110 to 100.2 The Ref 110 is one of the very best amps made. I think you are making a huge mistake. | |
| Tubes for VTL 7.5 Dgad,Did you find any other tube that reduced the gain a bit. My CD player has very high output voltage so with louder disk I some volume control. It's not a huge issue just asking. Thanks | |
| DeHavilland UltraVerve or Shindo Aurieges? The Shindo is very good and hard to beat for the money. It would make that system much more musical for sure and I would bet it could use it. | |
| Tubes for VTL 7.5 series I. | |
| Tubes for VTL 7.5 I don't want a "warmer tubier" sound. I want low microphonics and good dynamics. I want to stay away from noisy tubes also. | |
| VAC 300.1 compared to VTL 450 Mk II or similar I can't imagine the VTl sounding better then the 300.1 on any speaker, well maybe the maggies since they practically need nuclear power. With the older wilsons the VTL's might work better but with the newer tamed Wilsons the 300.1 would bring them... | |
| VAC 300.1 compared to VTL 450 Mk II or similar Here is a good read. http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1144959441&read&keyw&zzvac+300+1I have had both and I can tell you that the VAC sounded better for me. The VTL's are tube eaters also. | |
| New EMM Labs DAC 2 or Accustic Arts Ref Tube DAC The EMM is one of the very best you can get. With the EMM transport the DAC2 is the very best. | |
| wadia 581 My 581 skips and doesn't recognize sacd They will fix it for free. But you can also get the SE upgrade. It is a known issue with the 581. Mine did that and I sent it back to them and the fixed it with a software upgrade. | |
| Revel Salon2 vs. B & W 802D vs. Wilson W.P.7? Well I have had all three and I can tell you that the 802d is not in the same class as the other two. The Salon2 and the WP7 are both very good and it just comes down to taste. The WP7 is a cleaner sound do to their cabinet having no distortion. T... | |
| Which is the best CD-Player up to $ 10k ? I have had them all and the Ayre is the best believe it or not. I thought the Esoteric was the worst. Sold them all for my Modwright Transporter which is better then them all. The audio Aero was to soft for me. The Wadia is very close to the Ayre ... | |
| PC Audio Choice: Mac+USB, Transporter, or Squeezbx The 581 is ok but the 581SE is awesome. One of the very best players money can buy. I did not compare the DAC's to each other. I have since sold my 581ise and my Ayre C-5xe for the Modwright version of the transporter. | |
| PC Audio Choice: Mac+USB, Transporter, or Squeezbx I used my Wadia 581i se digital inputs to test it out. The DAC inside of that is world class. I also tried an Theta Gen 5a with the same results. | |
| PC Audio Choice: Mac+USB, Transporter, or Squeezbx Read the stereophile review of the transporter. They compare the transporter and the SB3 with DAC. | |
| PC Audio Choice: Mac+USB, Transporter, or Squeezbx Option 2 is your answer. I tried the other options and the Modwright Transporter was the end for me. Don't waste your time with option 3. Once you use the Transporter you will never go back to CD players. |
