| Amps to use with Von Schweikert VR4jr's I have listened to the VR-4 jr's driven by the Bel Canto evo-2 gen 2 and it sounded outstanding. This was a recommended amplifier by VS. Images are stable and float in space. Very synergistic combination. I would imagine other digital amplifiers d... | |
| Active speaker, the future? or another fad? Here is one that "Cinematic_systems" recommended on another thread. $1895 for 20-20K response. I have not heard it though. http://www.abluesky.com/p_s_gb/p3s1.html | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? With the exception of a few slurs from the pig pen, the comments from the shootout have been entertaining and rewarding. I too would have preferred a blind test but, I do like the 10 category 5 point scorecard approach. I hope to be seeing more of... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? "Saxman2", how close is Cedar Falls to Cedar Rapids? I will be in CR sometime during March. Don't know what week yet. I would love to listen to the Meitner. | |
| Atma-sphere M60 II.3-Any good for 4 ohm speaker? What speakers are you getting "711"? I thought you had the Reimers. Are you changing these or, just adding some "furniture" to another room? | |
| What cd player should I buy? I think all these players mentioned on this thread will be good. Certainly, I can attest to the Jolida JD-100 as I owned one in the past and enjoyed it immensely. Not perfect but a very listenable and rhythmical player. As with many tube players, ... | |
| Atma-sphere M60 II.3-Any good for 4 ohm speaker? Can anyone tell me the difference between the new Rendition Audio Monitor 60 and, the Atmasphere M60?The Monitor 60 is one beautiful piece. I am assuming both these amps were designed by Ralph. 711, an auto-transformer will solve the 4-ohm issue. ... | |
| How good is Benchmark DAC1 comparing to...... Nice post "Redkiwi". I too fail to understand the philosophy behind judgemental type decisions based on someone else's ears and a bit of vodoo math. Geeshh....A quality debate and/or dialog is beneficial to everyone - and fun. And, for the most pa... | |
| Horn speakers with Imaging? I wish someone would comment on how well Pi speakers image. | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? My advice is to have a session next weekend and allow any that can make it to come by, relax, and have a listen. If they are interested in hearing other players then they can come by another time when another particular player will be shown. I thi... | |
| Amp help for the Maggies? My advice is to stretch the speaker budget and get the 3.6's. Then, comprommise the amp budget with the lowly little NAD C320 BEE. I owned this combination for some time, while at the same time owning the Innersound ESL-300. In addition, I have a ... | |
| Magnepan 3.6R vs. 2.7QR Blown ribbons is not a problem with the 3.6. Now one must abide by the advice and guidelines given in the instruction manual, especially when shipping the speaker. Picking the right amplifier to go with the speaker is also important. You don't wan... | |
| How good is Benchmark DAC1 comparing to...... For those that put more trust in reviewer's ears, there is a review in the newest issue of Sensible Sound that many should find interesting. Interesting in that they decided employ the double-blind listening approach in the interest of objectivity... | |
| How good is Benchmark DAC1 comparing to...... Though I don't always agree with "Audioengr", I will have to say that, after owning the Benchmark, his comments are pretty much on the money. I found this dac to be relatively clear and dynamic with a simplicity of sound that was hard to dislike .... | |
| Atma-Sphere M60 or David Berning ZH270? I too have found the Atmasphere amplifiers to be superb. Certainly one the best amplifies that I have heard. Although the Atmasphere may be more fussy about speaker impedance values, and swings, this can be mitigated with the use of the Zero auto-... |
