| IC´s:Stealth Indra, Prana Cosmos or Kubala Jadem6The strength of the Valhalla are speed, tight definition, dynamics and open airy top end. The weakness is they can be overly revealing and edgy in a bad system. They are also too thin on top; this has held true on every system I have heard t... | |
| EMM OWNERS Poll - What hangs off YOUR DAC? Nordost Valla without a doubt and I have used all the other above mentioned cables plus most others.I run balanced all the way | |
| Info on phillips SACD 1000 repair/mods ChadConsider your SACD 1000 as paperweight. Philips no longer supports it and as best I know there are no parts for the unit.Best advice is to get the EMM Labs CDSD | |
| Emm Labs CDSD transport and other DACs. Davidregardless--the Meitner is just too good to sell. | |
| Conrad Johnson ACT2 against Audio Research Ref 3 Hi AlbertI usually agree with you as well but your analogy is wrong in this case.Having said this however I really would never part with my ARC Ref 3 in my system. | |
| VTL, CTC, Lamm, ARC, EAR, Halcro, Mark Levison Although I don't own Kharma speakers I do have Wilson X-2's which I do drive with ease using the Lamm ML 2.1 I have owned many amps and without question these are the most musical that I have ever heard. Having said that I also own the ARC Ref 3 w... | |
| Conrad Johnson ACT2 against Audio Research Ref 3 GinasFWIW.... the perfect preamp is no preamp at all | |
| Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there? Well I had assumed that when you say "get out of the way of the music" you were referring to the invisibility of your speakers. Anything else to me is a reflection on the improvement of a system as well set up speakers are indeed invisible and to ... | |
| Emm Labs CDSD transport and other DACs. David,although this is possible via AES/EBU output from the CDSD I don't know why you would want to do this as you lose the ability to play SACD with the CDSD. As well you will also lose the ability to upsample all Redbook to DSD | |
| Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there? Mike Lavigneyou and I are friends. You make this statement over and over and I don't think that I am naieve when it comes to high end stereo but honestly I don't know what the heck you mean when you say itvinyl continues to reveal more and more as... | |
| Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there? Stan--trust me when I say that you won't embarrass me but it seems to me that in all of your posts you are giving the overall impression to the collective here that only you have the "golden ears" and that yours are the only ones to be trusted.I w... | |
| Conrad Johnson ACT2 against Audio Research Ref 3 Interesting in the "who's who of tube preamps.I have heard that the people at Wilson Audio view the 3 best Reference tube preamps to be the ARC Ref 3CJ ACT 2VTL 7.5I also listened hard and heavy to the Lamm L2 preamp hoping that it would add syner... | |
| Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there? Stan--I would be only too happy to take you up on your challenge. I agree that vinyl is wonderful however in my system with the CDSD and the DAC6e I would be only too happy to have you over for an audition to quash your bombasity :) . | |
| Conrad Johnson ACT2 against Audio Research Ref 3 I have heard the ACT2 and find it to be exceptionally wonderful BUT for my ears and my system I just have not heard a better tube preamp than the Ref 3. | |
| Conrad Johnson ACT2 against Audio Research Ref 3 Well my vote goes the other way but not before acknowledging that the CJ ACT 2 is a superb preamp, however IMO the REF 3 is for my money simply the best preamp that I have ever owned. It is magic in my system. I owned the Ref 2 Mk ll which I thoug... |
