| The current SOTA SACD player Hearing is believing !!That "is" why I won't ever changeWhat I was referring to was changing to something other than EMM Labs as that is the flavor that rocks my sonic boat.Alex, you and I have been down this path before and simply put,IMO it just... | |
| The current SOTA SACD player Now that you have had your upgraded EMM gear for a while, have your initial impressions altered? Is the EMM gear getting better and have you heard any other setup that is comparableAs David Shapiro states,it is a level of taste but for me the new ... | |
| The current SOTA SACD player have a look at my review re the DAC6e SEhttp://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/frr.pl?rdgtl&1147623814&read&3&4&As for the CDSD SE there is no hardware difference from its immediate predessor. There are however firmware updates | |
| Wilson Maxx and Maxx II Differences ? Good question. At that time I was running WP 6's and had a chance to buy a pair of almost new MAXX l's from a very close audiophile friend of mine for $20K when MSRP at that time was $40K. I was enamored by the Wilson sound having gone from WP 5.1... | |
| Wilson Maxx and Maxx II Differences ? I owned the MAXX l. It was just OK. I sold it for X-1 Series lll and now X-2 Alexandria. I feel that I know the Wilson sound which I wouldn't trade for anything. having said that I was not enamoured of the MAXX l. My son owns the MAXX ll and for t... | |
| Need balanced pre with HT bypass/remote/ At 1/2 the price you are indeed getting darn close to the Ref 3. Audition both. The LS 26 is terrific BUT if you can swing it go for the Ref 3 | |
| Need balanced pre with HT bypass/remote/ Althought the LS26 is terrific in every way it lacks much of the magic that the Ref 3 has.The Ref 3 still gets my vote | |
| Need balanced pre with HT bypass/remote/ Hands down winner is the ARC Ref 3...best preamp I have ever owned. | |
| Tubed amps for WP7s Many times.I don't disagree that it is a good amp. I just prefer my Lamm ML 2.1's and that is no disrespect to my friends Jonathan Tinn and Mike Lavigne. It just doesn't rock my sonic boat as do the Lamm. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? "There is no such thing as a bad recording"Trust me there is | |
| Tubed amps for WP7s "Though its SS its better sound than the tubes without the all the bullshit that tubes give" I respectfully disagree | |
| Tubed amps for WP7s I owned the ARC Ref 600 Mk lll (predecessor to the 610), Indeed they were great but the heat given off by 31 tubes per amp (62 in all) was unbearable even after I installed a 3rd dedicated AC for m listening room. I was going to buy the 610's but ... | |
| Best CD between EMM Labs & DCS "Are they both Signature"There is no sonic difference between a CDSD or the CDSD Signature. The software version however is what is important | |
| Best CD between EMM Labs & DCS "In my experience, the EMM (Signature) is outstanding on SACD but very disappointing on CD. I have no direct experience with the dCS but I could not live with the EMM as my only source"I am simply amazed at this statement.Talking to everyone who h... | |
| Best CD between EMM Labs & DCS The EMM Labs ARE that good Here is a review I put up after I did the upgrade on my DAC6e to the Signature Editionhttp://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/frr.pl?rdgtl&1147623814&read&3&4& |
