| Best External Drive To Rip A Lot Of CD's with? Al,Thank you for that very helpful link. You may have saved me some cash and made my job easier. I just recalled that I had a very high end NEC external cd drive from years ago stashed in a closet. It is a beast of a unit, weighing about 5 pounds.... | |
| Parasound C2 As A Stereo Preamp? Thanks, I was concerned about that. There have been several suggestions that I should find a Proceed AVP2 for this purpose. Age would concern me there, even though it has the many Mark Levinson components inside. | |
| Integrated amps- Hegel H100 or Vincent SV-237? There is actually no change in Hegel's "list price" only strategy. That's just one dealer that apparently has a temporary overstock. Other Hegel dealers are still only selling at list. Two friends of mine checked with their local dealers and no bu... | |
| Best Option In A CD/SACD Player Under $1,500.00 I'm essentially waiting for the first one of a number of options to appear in the used market at this point. | |
| New to digital high-end, need help Steve, when you say "Are digital files successfully used in that level of system? Can they sound as good as a quality CD source?"Yes and even better than a CD transport. The front-end is the most important thing because jitter in the digital sourc... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Roxy,You are attributing things to entirely the wrong people. Likely due to misinformation widely put forth. I cannot say more because I have been asked not to. I stand by my statements as to Joe Fratus and his company. Joe would never misrepresen... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? My recently received (two months ago) Art Audio Carissa Signature is absolutely a keeper for life. Incredible performance and hand crafted and backed by one of the very best audio companies in the world. Joe Fratus is an amazing guy, and his produ... | |
| Best Option In A CD/SACD Player Under $1,500.00 I've heard good things about both the 8004, and the 8005, but might need something a bit more "lively" based on reviews I've read.Was also considering an Oppo 105, but oddly, many comments I've read by owners or auditioners in various Audio forum ... | |
| Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi-Res Music Player RMAF 2013 Just read the Absolute Sound review when the new issue arrived the other day. They finished the review stating that "If you plan to spend more than $2000.00 on any digital front end, whether it be an audio computer, CD player, DAC, network player,... | |
| Zu Omen Def's, Tekton Pendragon SEAS, or Omega's? The Enzo's do look very interesting. There is virtually nothing out there about them as far as a review, or even commentary. Perhaps they are too new? | |
| Zu Omen Def's, Tekton Pendragon SEAS, or Omega's? 05-21-13: Morganc"How about the Lores on one end of the price spectrum or the new Druid mk V on the other hand? Both are phenomenal in the nearfield." The Lores, while an exceptional value, won't get me where I want to go. Especially given that I ... | |
| Review of Tekton Pendragon-Se Loudspeaker No question the Lore is exceptional for the price. I'm sure they sound excellent in your room. However, I'm looking for something with a comparable soundstage, overall depth of sound and presentation to what I experienced with the Harbeth 40.1's, ... | |
| amp for Silverline minuet supreme plus? Silverlines are voiced with Pass amplifiers. Something like a used 30.5 should work superbly with those speakers. | |
| Review of Tekton Pendragon-Se Loudspeaker Thanks for the input. A couple people have mentioned the possibility of the Pendragon SE's bass overloading the room. Everything else about them sounds very appealing, but perhaps I need to cross those off the list? I know they were designed for s... | |
| Zu Omen Def's, Tekton Pendragon SEAS, or Omega's? A couple people have mentioned the possibility of the Pendragon SE's bass overloading the room. Everything else about them sounds very appealing, but perhaps I need to cross those off the list? I know they were designed for smaller rooms, but poss... |
